If it reduced your player's visibility by about 80%, third and first person both sure! Otherwise, it was pretty stupid. Put on a welding mask, or one of those horribly out of place and need to be removed ShitDay masks.

This has been a free test to less than 200 people. Everyone who has played and posted bitching on the forums has the game indefinitely, barring they didn't get caught for cheating. Why wouldn't they try the finished game they already own, assuming they still aren't playing still after a rant or two?

The kids, who will be the majority of the console gamers, will be expecting this to play like a CoD shooter without rails. "Sprint sprint sprint, 20% incline? No problem! IT'S A GAME WHY CAN'T I RUN UP THIS HILL FULL SPEED?" I don't mind it either, however if you're actually getting shot at, you're probably zigzagging and trying to maintain at least a jog even on the steepest inclines we have. I just don't believe the majority of console gamers are going to go for the current implementation of movement and inclines. Personally I don't really care if it gets changed or not, I've played so long with ArmA 2/DayZ running I'm used to it. Works to my advantage most of the time, as I'm not the one out running around in hills having to stop and walk while being shot at. I gave up on CoD/BF style games once they started reskinning, copying, pasting, removing features, dumbing them down and calling it a new game year after year a la the Madden franchise, and really haven't played with them for a while. I think there's going to be quite a few features that get watered down for the console, maybe not.

Clearly a stock and unmodified V3S. I'm sure minus the roll cage that's exactly how it was when it came off of the line or was found lying around the countryside eh?

Why do you always make such rhetorical suggestions? How did you get anywhere with your attitude?

Well at least with DayZ coming to PS4 we'll finally be able to sprint around everywhere. If Bohemia thinks for a single second that console gamers will put up with this going from sprinting to WALKING up a hill while playing a shooter survival game, they'll go down faster than a paper towel raft.

Dude watching that video is going to put you on a list somewhere. And not a very nice one at that.

Yes because why would you be able to look at things in your vincinity or pick anything up while moving?! Devs get on this!!! Yes let's spend 50% of our time waiting for animations rather than actually playing the game. Having the game more streamlined to where there AREN'T animations and it's whoever is fastest on the draw, leads to more skill based gameplay, rather than bs luck because your character got bugged out while animating to open your "gear", and then another animation to pull the bandage out, and then another animation to use it, and then another animation to put it away, and how would you know it actually made it there without pulling your gear open again with a final animation? Your gear window is like your brain, you see what's there because you know what you put there. You see that you're thirsty, hungry, energized, bleeding, hydrated, healthy, and every other status; because it's your personal thinktank. A lot more actions should have animations, like sewing. Opening your gear window is definitely not one of them. You clearly did not play ArmA 2 and the mod, because having to stop moving completely and kneel down just to access your bandages, or anything, was absolutely stupid. Having a mobile gear window that is animationless is literally one of the biggest and best changes from the mod to standalone.

There's absolutely nothing in game that requires refrigeration other than raw meat which is produced only after a mammal/animal is freshly gutted. Why would anything that would spoil be around in the apocalypse long after the power went out (thanks to everyone bitching and moaning about street lights being on in the big cities)? Really wouldn't make any sense. Unless it was literally the day the power went off, anything refrigerated would go bad, considering it's not winter in Chernarus.

You're on the wrong persistent servers, most of them have 10x or more the loot they should. That's been going on since at least .49 and exists still.

Grass wraps were not uncommon at all. I made them left and right whenever I found a burlap sack.

Unless they've changed how buildings and loot spawns, every building will spawn the same items in different cities. A school or bus station in elektro has the same chance to spawn the same loot as a school or bus stop in any other location. It wouldn't make much sense to do it otherwise, at least for immersions standpoint, having higher value loot spawn in buildings farther inland than the coast would make sense, but personally I'd rather have this great art team work on some new buildings and realllly change the landscape.

Sort by private hives, and get used to playing on them and keeping somewhat track of your characters. The public hive will be dead within 3 months. Bohemia doesn't want to admit that they know that, but the public hive has been on life support since private hives rolled out, here AND the mod.

Anyone who killed you with the "oh also, fuck you guy" bit can't get a kill any other way. I encountered two morons who defended me from Zombies, fed me, and then said "Hey, hey man. I've never hand cuffed anyone before, can we try it on you? Oh no we won't kill you man, just let us handcuff you." Stupidest shit, as I say yeah that's ok I'm not going to be your entertainment and run off, I hear the fucking genius say "Don't make us do this", it was absolutely hilarious. The only way they could get a kill is to befriend and then shoot someone less than 10 feet away. If you're killing someone less than 10 feet away, it should be with a melee weapon or because you got the absolute fucking drop on them. Giving someone food and then asking to handcuff them isn't getting the drop on anyone, same with giving someone ammo and then shooting them. The fact is, with public hive looting the way it is, and server hopping, Public servers will always be this way. I've already seen a huge difference with the few private servers a forunate and thankful few are footing the bills for. Private servers don't have server hopping for loot, at least right now (you can get a private server based on your first hive, so that two different private servers function off of the same characters), and probably never will. A base 40 person Private server runs at least $100 a month, and a satelite which requires the base is probably at least another $70 a month. Someone would have to have a lot of dedication to gearing to have a second locked server just for personal looting, and some spare change. You'll learn how to play the game the way you need to. For me it changes as I'm playing each character. When I have nothing I'm much more inclined to befriend others and see what the world will serve up. When I've got a bunch of nice gear for some killing to do, I'm not going to give much of a fuck about helping a bambi gear up and survive when I'm with just my buddy and we're two manning it. Figure out how you need to play the game, if you're playing by yourself and you're not trying to create a community to play with you of even a small group of friends, why are you trying to be friendly with anyone beyond simple exchanges that benefit yourself as well? If you're trying to meet people, why are you so concerned with gear? By interacting with players you're going to put yourself into situations where you will get killed sometimes, by not interacting with them, you'll never know. If you want to meet people, care less about gear and being the victim. That gets old pretty fast when you keep running into the same types of asshats, but you won't always. I met a seemingly great group of people the other night, and played with them for hours, and plan on playing with them for several more. Simply because I spawned at the right spot, at the right time, on the right server, with not a bunch of asshats around the corner. They're out there, but they are unfortunately in the minority right now.

If you think that Chernarus isn't anywhere near the country of Russia, you're about as dumb as the majority of people posting on these forums. Belarus, yeah no way, that was in South America, right guys?! And you want WW2 German uniforms. So how exactly would those end up in Chernarus, if Chernarus is no where near Russia? Must be Northern Africa right? Surely not Western Europe, because oh fuck, that's everywhere Germany got to... Uh oh... Looks like you're the source that just provided evidence to the contrary. Oops!

You're complaining about the Zombie AI, which has been addressed about 100 times since launch, last year, by the development team. Now if you're too lazy to actually look around about Zombies still bugging out, and what's being done about it, you deserve Patrick Stewart facepalms. Trying using google, or even the search function on these forums, what an idea...

A friend and I actually figured this out today. It's quite simple to deduce really, in the new Residental blocks outside Cherno, there's an advertisement for I'm assuming a famous Chernorussian Musician, who got his debut in 2002. The last concert date plastered over the previous concert dates (Earliest before this looked like 03.26.2009, March 2009) was August 18, 2009, (08.18.2009). Now, if you look at Cereal boxes, they have an expiration date of March 2017, and typically Cereals have at least 1-1.5 years past their manufacturing date before they "expire". From that we can assume that the last time the Cereal was being manufactured was around September 2015. The problem here is, the outbreak couldn't have been going on for six years, or else no one would be able to produce the cereal. If the world has gone to shit with Zombies, I don't think General Mills is going to keep pumping out Lucky Charms in hopes that it will all blow over soon. So that really says to me that we're definitely in a period sometime around the Fall of 2015, and that the outbreak probably occured less than six months prior to our characters being "dropped" into the world. That's my take on it anyway. You could argue that maybe Chernarus is isolated, like the UK in 28 Days Later, and that the rest of the world kept on going without much knowledge of the events going on. But who and why would they take the brand new food to the Zombie infested Chernarus? But at the same time, if it was isolated, why were American soldiers trying to come contain the outbreak, and crashing their helicopters?! TOO MANY QUESTIONS, NOT ENOUGH ANSWERS PEOPLE.

This happened to me last night while a buddy was skinning an animal, apparently it's a known bug. If you're by someone skinning an animal or walk over you get the You are Dead message, however I logged back into the server at the advice of people we were playing with, and sure enough I wasn't dead, just 1 minute back from where I was before I got the message :P

You really have no idea what you're talking about. Want to know how much storage you need for hosting a DayZ server? The game + about 100kb in text files. HOLY SHIT!!! ~8 GB?! That's not even a USB memory stick from today!! Ohnoes! Want to know how much data is sent between packets? Less about 5kb per shot or movement, and when people are doing stuff in the game, like dropping items, picking them up, using items, etc; less than 100kb per message. Even if you had 40 players shooting and eating all at the same time you wouldn't even hit 6mb of needed upload/download speed. That's nothing. Modern games are efficient and have several things triggered clientside, to the server, rather than the server sending everything to the clients, and the clients sending absolutely everything to the server. That went out the window over a decade ago. For $120 a month to pay for a private server, it better be the god damn best server package available with overtly redundant internet up and down.

Surely Bohemia is getting a cut off of the server hosting fees, otherwise they would have no reason to ONLY go with just about the worst gaming server hosts available, and allow them to charge whatever fucking price they think is appropriate. $3 a slot for Fragnet's private server, yeah fucking right. For $1500 a year, I can host my own fucking badass server with quality up and down, which is NOT what you get from ANY of the current service providers. They all run several virtual server machines on a single server and don't give a fuck if your performance suffers. Quality choices, Bohemia. Really knocking it out of the park with the whole "Even though your private shard characters can't ever get on the public hive, let's continue to fuck over our playerbase who are the ones fitting the bill for every single server except Experimental servers, and who will continue to fit the bill for the rest of the game's existence with these bullshit hosting services that charge entirely way too much, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN. I have faith in the project, it's come a long way since December 2013, but you guys need to get your heads out of your asses on this one. Private shards are here, open them up like they were before so this bullshit monopoloy on hosting DayZ servers goes the fuck away. Anyone at Bohemia, or anyone on these forums representing Bohemia and the project, who feels comfortable with that, please censor this post. If you feel great about having the playerbase continuously screwed over month to month, just so everyone else can play the game, because as we know 10 experimental servers won't handle the 4,000 people playing the game at all times of the day. What a joke.

Or masogonists who think that only women cook, care about how things look, and should be the only ones raising children. But you're right, it's a god damn good thing we don't have several different choices and options for clothing items in the game, what a tragedy that would be to be able to get your character in a get up that defines your playstyle or enhances the immersion. What a waste of time, right?! PS massive kudos for first spelling engraved wrong, then spelling it correctly, and having the absolute balls to leave the first mispelling like a real badass, you have my beans man.

You must be new to SOE. Just because Planetside 2 can have many players on the servers at once, doesn't mean they're good games or run efficiently with all those players. SOE is garbage, save yourself the TIME (since yes it will be "free"), and avoid anything SOE puts out.

If you don't realize that the Standalone is miles beyond the mod at this point, you're either kidding yourself or delusional. The mod took ALREADY available models and used them for functions in the game. They're doing all new models, all new designs, new playability, new everything. The medical system is a big feature, the clothing and inventory system is a big feature. You can cast them all aside because "not vehicles bro" all you want, but the gameplay is drastically different and advanced.

I wish anyone who doesn't see through SOE's usual and predictable BS, and thinks H1Z1, a PlanetSide2 mod ripping off DayZ and Rust, is going to be a good game - the best of luck. That will be a typical SOE disaster, as will be EQNext and any game they ever release, from now until the end of time. Smedley has no idea how to run a successful company, and hasn't been ever since the creative team of Verant left SOE. PlanetSide wasn't a good game, PlanetSide 2 isn't a good game, SOE doesn't put their name on quality games. They haven't for a decade.

Ever notice how the mission can't run for more than 4 hours without falling apart? That's been an issue with RV since its first go around.
