Basically, when weapons and tools are used their condition goes down an amount. This goes for apparel as well. When a piece of clothing or backpack is hit, the stuff inside is damaged an amount. The same effect for if a gun gets hit or your face. I like to think of the condition system as a scale with pristine as 100 and ruined as 10 > (with a few other categories in there. Each time something is hit a little bit of points are deducted from the score of the item's condition. When it comes to food and medicine I believe it has to do with the amount you heal or how effective the item is. Also with food, it's cond. will decrease the longer you have it; more so with fruit than with canned stuff. Also, apparel's cond. goes down ad you wear it and the environment effects it as well. Hope this helped. If not tell me and I'll try again. Sorry if too long.

It'd be nice to see all the seasons in there with the ability for server owners to choose which are in their server, how frequently the seasons change, etc. This would really get weather to affect(wrong effect/affect?) gameplay like Rocket wanted.

Steam works just fine for downloading and playing Arma 2 DayZ mod. I do not see why you dislike it.

Basically, most games don't include ANY kind of murderable children is because it is really bad. Killing children is bad.

I literally vomitted in my mouth when I heard the flames dirt bike may be the only one in the SA.

Great idea! But there's one problem. There won't be skins in the SA. But the bikes currently do look like arse.

Maybe there could be an inspect vehicle ability like in DayZero.

Agreed you should have a buddy remove the bullet with a chance of you getting infected from missed used tools/ dirty tools. And the blood should attract zombies from the smell so you need to wash your clothes and that too after. Zombies are animals and their seances in our DNA should increase to what an animal does it just looks for food to survive no emotions, Also you should be able to remove limbs to so you don't die from gangrene. And it should take time to heal and blood shouldn't be a 1min trick this is a hardcore survival and I hope it is going to stay like that and not change You should also have to disinfect the tools before use, or at least should disinfect. Or you could do the operation naked so you don't get blood on clothing. I don't think integrating dismemberment of yourself or other players is worth it unless it is for cinematic reasons. Amputation is worthless in the zombie-apocalypse, no one's gonna make you a splint or fake body part. Just sayin'.

a: not always. Many bacteria and viruses can live in extreme situations. b: the major cause of death in the American Civil War was infection. Any kind of open wound is liable to become infected by environmental contagions, especially bullet wounds. Getting shot is not a walk in the park that people seem to think it is thanks to Hollywood. Also infections, illnesses and diseases should be a bigger deal. In the great war (first world war/WW1) I believe that almost three times as many people died from influenza than from the war itself. Maybe previously thought extinct illnesses such as influenza and typhoid could make comebacks during this Z day experience. Maybe a new illness could emerge from this zombie war.

Also maybe all the soldiers died before they shot many bullets because they were trying to avoid destroying their vehicle by swerving yet, hitting a tree. But also sometimes the patrol vehicles should be in the middle of the road as an obstruction to normal driving. Also if they were wasting ammo fighting the zeds and if what another poster (I forget who) says that patrols only bring one or two mags the ammo on these dead patrols should be low, very low; not even a full magazine.

@King of kong You did mention a "pack". "I'm pretty sure I don't need to open my pack to see if I'm hungry. "
