Although the Arma 3 engine would be adequate I hope that it will use it's own 'DayZ' engine. Even if it's a highly modified version of the Arma 3 engine. If they use the Arma 3 engine right out of the box they will start to run into a lot of the same issues they are having now with the Arma 2 engine. As great as the Arma 3 engine is it's still not really designed for a game like DayZ. I hope if it is used they give Rocket free reign to modify it as he sees fit. Otherwise it may as well just be a mod for Arma 3.

Yes, There are no armored vehicles in DayZ.

Yeah, It's a new Hacker ploy. There are several videos on Youtube about this already. The OP didn't hack it's someone else hacking in the NPCs and making random people their "Squad Leader". The last video I saw about this earlier today everyone on the server got 2 little old ladies following them around out of nowhere. This is Hackers messing with regular players to get their lulz. Don't be so quick to accuse people of hacking in the future Bottlerocket... it just makes you look like an ass.

One other tip I don't see mentioned because it's trivial to most of us. Don't eat or drink until the indicators are flashing! Supplies can be hard to find when you are just starting out and this will maximize their benefits.

I never ever thought I would say this but if this guy is a hacker please don't ban him!!! This is hacking with style... LOL

Everyone new to Arma 2 should play through the "Boot Camp" missions at least once before jumping into DayZ. This will give you a tutorial on how all the major game play mechanics work. I highly recommend it.

You need to use a Hunting Knife on the animal after you shoot it to harvest the meat.

I've heard of a Smoke Grenade glitch that does massive damage to buildings as well but if several buildings were leveled I'd put my money on a hacker.

The gear interface is also one of the things that Rocket would most like to change according to what he said in the PC Gamer live stream with him yesterday. Give him time people. Rome wasn't built in a day you know.

I'd be happy with a 70's style polyester white leisure suit or a 70's style pimp suit with cane. Of course the pimp suit would also have to have a pimped out pink Cadillac to go with it. Mess wid ma bitches you gonna die mother f**ker!!

Yeah, it's him but so what? This is old news at this point and with a new major update pending it's pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain that he hasn't given up by a long shot. He was very emotional after the first major wave of hackers and who wouldn't be? If some total fucktard strangers were trying to kill something you've worked very hard on just for the "lulz" you'd be emotional too. To answer your questions... No, Rocket hasn't given up on DayZ and no, hackers will not be the death of this mod.

It's actually Winter in New Zealand... Just sayin. :cool:

There were other people on the server. In fact they got attacked in one of the small towns and one of their teammates got killed before they killed the aggressors. Maybe you should have actually watched the stream because they actually ran into a few other players as well but that one encounter was the only one that turned ugly.
