Of course the same penalty will also work against a brainless friendly who responds to everyone thinking they are friendly when they really want to shoot him in the face. Either way, it forces people to finally get the point about survival. Maybe make this penalty only go into effect after a week's worth of gaming so newbs can learn the ropes. But experienced people shouldn't die so much.

He means you shouldn't have to replicate all the steps it takes to clear a gun jam

Here's the truth. We are the real zombies. What we see as zombies are really normal innocent people but we are so messed up that we think they are the creepies trying to eat us when we are really trying to eat them.

TrackIR and ArmA 2

Melee is not awesome. Here's why. With a gun you have to aim. With melee you just face the guy and click. No skill whatsoever. You're not simulating precise slashes and jabs. It's just a free kill.

This is what I found for ArmA2 melee Funny! Basically it's an illusion. They attack like zombies but the swords are attached to them.

Humanity is just another MMO/RPG relic. It's up to players to decide their own feelings, humanity, etc and not have the game tell them how they are supposed to feel/think. The game should only answer the question: are you gonna die soon or not? (starving, cold, blood indicators)

Just because land is uncharted on maps available in gamedoesn't mean it doesn't exist. And we do know that the out of bounds land does exist. Look at this map http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/52/ArmA2_Chernarus_factbook_map.jpg The Chernarus that we play on is only a small part of Chernarus and then there's Russia. Really, the only solution is to use a different map that's an island. But that means dayz 2

Which is what you'd expect in a real life survival scenario. You're starving, everyone is starving and you're going to trust a complete stranger just because?

I welcome all cod kiddies, carebears, pvp'ers, warcraft players, anyone to this game. Hopefully they will be converted to the true faith and never look at the other games in the same way again.

It shouldn't be realistically complex but it should be realistically hard. It should be hard to survive as a lone wolf. It should be hard to completely trust members of a team you made up of total strangers. If people are building huge military arsenals based on stuff they found in the middle of the woods then something is wrong. If anyone can just walk up to a broken helicopter and repair it or perform major surgery on himself then something is wrong. The results in the game have to make sense even if all the details aren't there.

That would be an interesting idea...if the zombies were the good guys. But they aren't so NO

NO You shouldn't trust anyone unless he proves you can work with him. Even still, always watch your back.

How about: you have a gun for your first week of play but once you have experience with the game we're going to make it much harder ummmm Walmart?

NO but yes to less ammo, ditch the flares and yes to flashlight (solves the nobody playing at night problem and it's more likely you'd have a flashlight in real life than all that ammo, flares, etc)

No. This game is like a box of bullets. You never know which one you'll get.

Here's a good ingame recipe. Beans and Sardines Ingredients: Beans Sardines Stir and serve cold. hmm I think I'll just go for the steak, medium rare of course.

Imagine that everyone has a radio and they are on their secret radio channel.

Thanks for the support! I was thinking that' date=' but I feel like making it a challenge to find your clan's colors is more realistic and adds some authenticity to the whole deal. [/quote'] yeah but you'll end up with no team building system at all. People will just have all kinds of colors for fun. Think of it like gang tattoos. You don't need to 'find' a tattoo, just tell the artist what the design should be and he'd make it for you.

I don't think weapons should be holstered by default but it should affect your stamina if you have your arms raised up like that for hours.

you dont need to learn fucking russian' date=' just learn the cyrillic alphabet. [/quote'] Unusual requirement for a game. Good thing this game doesn't take place in China. Everyone should play on hardcore servers.

Except for the zombies' date=' everything should be as realistic as possible. No photon blasters. Realism = scary and challenging [hr']

Nope. Most of the fun comes from killing folks like you. They wouldn't play dayz at all after a while. They'd play something else. That something else could also be a PvE variant...not for me but it could lead to more players playing some kind of DayZ/ArmA2 instead of something by EA. Maybe that's a good thing.
