Nope. We'll have bombs and IED's too! You don't need zombies, just go to Afghanistan and you'll see

Because that shows everyone you are weak. OR: it is the oldest bait in the book. Lots of people say that to trick people. You get peace through strength

There are 2 kinds of friendly. The first kind is most popular because it is too easy. This person shouts "Yoo hoo! I'm friendly! I'm friendly!" and wonders why he's always getting shot in the face when he just wants to give everyone flowers. The friendly that survives is the one who doesn'[t trust just anyone. He will help you but only on his terms...otherwise he won't take any chances at the first sign of trouble. He doesn't play around but since he knows what he's doing, everyone wants to be on his side. That makes it easier to help more people. Bottom line is you need to be tough and have skill in order to be effective.

I never really cared for all the hype behind dayz standalone and rocket. Free mods such as Epoch and Origins have taken the dayz concept way beyond rocket's vision. I don't trust BIS either. They'll probably give survivors the ability to use lightning strikes to attack sunny vacation resorts... No, dayz is supposed to be about your story, your ideas and should not be dependent on what one guy or a bunch of guys decides what is best for the entire community.

Ideally, there should be comms built in but it's just easier to tell people they can use teamspeak than try to deal with thousands of voice comm issues.

It's different. It allows for possibilities not found in other games, such as huge maps and realistic skies (even phase of the moon). But if you make a features checklist, it will be missing features that other engines take for granted.

This is a social experiment. This is about testing ourselves. In other words, does the game work with bandit skins, humanity, dogs, meta-gaming. etc or do those elements result in a game that nobody wants to play anymore?

Real hardcore is to play 1st person-only on servers that allow all the cheats, I mean options. :)

The same can be said about removing client side scripting. They won't remove that just because DayZ has a serious hacker problem.

It was the first thing I did after installing ArmA2. Not sure who made the brain dead decision to make it default.

Not necessarily. You can add more variety of weapons without increasing availability.

That would create too much lag. That's probably why they are much faster than the stereotypical zombie, in order to compensate.

Not just that but the pvp matches on ArmA2 are short (they also pick small maps) and organized. In DayZ, you can have a sniper who spent hours getting into position. You never feel you are safe, even on a large map, and there are no clear sides.

I don't think they can without making them ridiculous (such as even faster speed or one hit and you are dead). AI will never be as good as players so it's up to the players to provide the challenge while the zombies are a backdrop, to give motivation to the game.

There's not much pvp in ArmA2. DayZ has the best pvp

for Nintendo Wii

You can also fire up the editor and have anything you want.

It's still awesome and you can have practice with the map and weapons if you play ArmA2. Maybe you'll even want to make your own mod.

First, let's see if Rocket can even bring DayZ to a final release version

Because there is this assumption that because they like a show meant for little girls, they must like little girls. On the other hand, most of the anti-bronies have no problem watching anime about Japanese schoolgirls in short skirts.

With over a million unique players, you're going to find people with all kinds of interests.

OK Let's see your mod since you obviously know what you're doing.

Does this alpha typically crash and cause data loss? There are glitches but I never heard of anyone losing their hard drive because they played DayZ. No, this game is not feature complete. We all know rocket wants to have end game material such as base building.

If you think the concept of dayz is great and tired of the same old stuff that all the other game developers keep putting out every year, you will test and report every bug you can find. Otherwise, don't be surprised when dayz is never finished and you'll just get the same old stuff that all the other game developers keep putting out every year.
