That is not a problem of starting weapon or side chat. DayZ before went mainstream, had few servers only and most of players were ArmA 2 community members gameplay was much better. People talked more, strangers help each other, didn't shoot on sight or even inform other survivors where bandits are. Also bandit skin feature helped a lot. Since all that DayZ hype, game turned from innovative survival horror into deathmatch with almost harmless zombie NPC.

Released as free ArmA 3 expansion, Community developed Not as kickstarter

That's server side setting and might be vary. In ArmA 2 most of the servers doesn't have that limitation and you can set maximum view distance in your game settings. Maximum is 10km.

Check 3D texture resolution in options. It should be 100% (equals yours screen resolution) or higher. Also if you have Combined Ops only, character models and weapons from BAF and PMC expansions will be low resolution. I hope that helps.

I'm not sure about Holo version (British Army don't use it), but L85A2 w/ ACOG, SUSAT and IronSight should be in game and replace AWS version.

Realistic wind and sniping are part of ACE mod which is used on ArmA 2:CO Multiplayer. It affect to all weapons and beyond 400-500 meters makes shooting way more exciting and interesting. ACE also has a Kestrel, used by real military sniper personnel to calculate wind adjustments and other factors.

I agree with Op. My solution would be to: - reduce a military/weapon loot rate in buildings like barracks, military tents, deer stands, etc by 75% - remove completely military/weapon loot from firestation buildings (why fireman would have AK or M16 there?). - reduce by 50% heli crash site spawn rate, but leave actual loot rate there. This would also make a server hopping less efficient. Now, to improve gameplay I'd like to see more random events with small chance to spawn on server like destroyed military convoys, crashes ambulances and supply trucks: - Russian, American and British military convoys with proper loot, so British convoy would have 2-3 destroyed Jackals and British Army loot (i.e. L85A2 w/ ACOG, not AWS version) - crashed ambulance with medical loot - supply trucks with food, tools etc. It'd reward players whom explore entire map, not only loot NW Airfield and Stary Sobor military tents.

YES, if Rocket needs to do it. Guys, it's freaking Alpha and you are alpha testers.

I hope Rocket removed AWS version and added ACOG/SUSAT/Iron Sight version of L85A2.

1.60 = version of ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead game. 1.7.2 = version of DayZ mod.

Remove L85A2 AWS Add L85A2 w/ SUSAT, L85A2 w/ ACOG, L85A2 Iron Sight, L86A2 (keep very very low spawn rate) Reason: AWS version is not commonly in use by British Armed Forced. They use standard issue L85A2 w/ ACOG or one of those listed above. I don't care if weapon is OP/1337/etc. DayZ suppose to stay realistic and possibility that UK would use AWS is very, very unlikely.

You find perks, killstreaks and "awards" in all kinds of mainsteam/casual shooters. DayZ is zombie survival simulator, unique game, not "just a shooter".

DayZ is a survival simulator, not PvP game with PVE zombies. You don't even need to shoot to anyone to play DayZ - remember about it. For full PvP experience once again I highly recommend ArmA 2 - it's one of the most immerse and exciting multiplayer games I have ever played. With ACE and ACRE it's the most unique experience. Problems which you mentioned: I believe Rocket knows about those and your feedback will make this mod better (remember it's only an Alpha!) ps. JSRS and Blastcore are optional, but awesome mods for ArmA 2 (not DayZ).
