@Pyrozite:I play Metro and I do agree with your opinion. One thing i'm curious about is why aren't there any flags flopping about anywhere? I've come across a soviet symbol painted on one of the buildings but that's not much, really.

An engine upgrade purely for the graphics is something I won't agree on. The graphics on DayZ is actually fine. If they were to upgrade it, it will take god knows how long and their staff isn't exactly that of Creative Assembly or Bioware, you know, massive. Secondly, not everyone has high end computers. If they were to make it demanding, numbers will drop and the team, I think, still needs a lot of dosh.

There are certainly a lot of impressive firearm pictures but I think the majority of firearms in the game should be Russians and they themselves have a lot.

There seems to be more and more items in the game that resemble American culture or history. When I first started DayZ because of a friend, I was told that this is a post-apocalyptic survival horror video game. The setting takes place somewhere in a fictionalised modern area of the Russian Federation. Initially, I agreed but as I played on and time passed, somehow it feels sort of American. You know, over half the firearms in this game are American. There's Magnum, M4, FN, Ruger, and finally, remington. We getting more?. The hats and clothing on the other hand, not many I admit but they do feel western. Cowboy hat, seriously? First the Magnum, now cowboy hats? We getting cowboy boots with spiked heels next? I honestly don’t mind the game having American weapons and apparel but they shouldn’t be so many types and variants. American firearms shouldn’t even spawn in military bases or consist of half of the firearms in the game. In Russian military bases as seen in documentaries and amateur videos, one will expect to find only or perhaps mostly Russian made weapons, not Americans. It makes sense to find American weapons in gun stores in cities near the sea, not in military bases. I am sitting here wondering, where are the standard and popular Russian weapons? Where is the 443 Grach, and Gsh 18? And the classics like AK 47? Come to think of it, where are the flags? I've been to cities, military installations, rural areas but no flag poles or Russian flags.

Great idea. You have my approval as well.
