Thank you, Dingus and Fraggle.

That is simpler, but isn't "Arma Combined operations" just, Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead launched / merged in a way that both games content are available in one instance? Perhaps it was boxed together on the store shelves as Arma 2: Combined Operations, but if you purchase Arma 2: Combined Operations via steam doesn't it just add Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead to your library? Not trying to split hairs, just trying to point out that Arma 2: Combined Operations might not be considered a separate product, but just the merging of two. Which can be confusing and thus a clusterf***. Also, how does Arma 2 Beta tie into all this? Can it be seen as an update for just Arma 2: Combined Operation (meaning Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead or Arma 2 Free and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead), or for those that just have Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead (without Arma 2 or Arma 2 Free installed)?

I want to understand Bohemia Interactive's naming convention, how all their distributions relate to each other, and ultimately, how it all works with Dayz. I'll start with Arma (1), to get it out of the way. Arma: Combat Operations is the first iteration in the ARMA series. Has nothing to do with Dayz. (Arma: Combat Operations, not to be mistaken with "Combined Operations".) Arma 2: Ultimate Military Simulator, I think the "Ultimate Military Simulator" is NOT it's official name, but it's on some retail boxes and helps differentiate. With that said, Arma 2 by itself is just called that, Arma 2. I am not entirely sure if Arma 2 is required or benefits your Dayz experience, due to Arma 2: Free? Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, Is a stand-alone expansion of Arma 2. The single player campaign takes place a few years after Arma 2's single player campaign. My understanding is that Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead by itself, does NOT meet all the requirements to play Dayz? It is one of three prerequisites required to play Dayz? (The prerequisites are Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead BETA, and the Dayz mod itself. See Arma 2: Combined Operations) Arma 2: Combined Operations, is the combination of Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead. This is where things get real confusing for me, as I understand it, Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead installed on your machine, can be launched independently OR launched as Arma 2: Combined Operations. As I mentioned before, Arma 2 Beta is required to play Dayz. I think you could get away with just having Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and Arma 2 Beta installed along with the Dayz mod? (That means Arma 2 is not installed. See Arma 2: Free) Arma 2: Free, As if things weren't f***ed up enough, Bohemia Interactive has this free version of Arma 2. It contains some of the content of Arma 2. My understanding is that if you just recently discovered Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead or more likely the Dayz mod, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, Arma 2: Free, Arma 2 Beta and the Dayz mod are required to play Dayz? I am not an expert on the Arma Series nor am I in Dayz. I've looked online for a post similar to this and have not found it. I would appreciate any corrections or input. CLUSTERF***, I SAY! CLUSTERF***!

LOL, Perfect!

The "Classes" mentioned, sound exactly like Perks to me. Like Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim. Actual classes would make this a different type of game, one step closer to Battlefield. :( To be good or best at something in this mod, you actually have to learn to be good at it yourself. Meaning, for you to get better at say shooting; requires you in real life to sit in your computer chair and practice in Dayz or in armory or whatever. I like that about this game.

Hunting blind was the term I was looking for. A personal hunting blind created using mostly natural resources. Might even be stationary, resembling and functioning more like a tent then a backpack or ghillie suit.

Nothing cartoonish. Perhaps it could be done with modification to the cow and backpack models? Could wear it over / in place of a backpack. Would only resemble a cow from a distance, because it's just the head, hide and some rudementory frame surrounding your body.

It's not what it sounds like. :) I was thinking it might be entertaining to have realistic animal costumes that you wear ingame! Kinda like the rhino in Ace Ventura 2, but less elaborate! I tried to google the proper term for the idea. It could effect your avatars model, like how your backpack is invisible with gillie suit! I just think hiding in plain sight, looking like a cow with a gun barrel sticking out of its butt, is the kinda dark humor Dayz could use! What do you think? Is there a term for this? http://m.youtube.com/results?q=rhino%20ace%20ventura#/watch?v=Nh2iyPmucFk
