Other: "It wouldn't make a difference since getting sniped by a unknown or even detected assailant is pretty much gg anyways."

A steam release would be wonderful for VAC, as well as the wide distribution to consumers (it's the largest online game distributor in the world), we can only hope. Either way buying a copy, so that's settled. Yeaaaaa

Uhh bro, some of us spent two grand on our computers within the last year on pc's with core i7 quad core hyperthreaded cpu's and solid state hd, 16g ram, GTX 570 SC, etc, and can't even get near maxing out the current game (arma2) without having garbage fps. I'm talking having shadows and aa on low just to get a decent first person shooter experience. Yet I go back to skyrim, deus 3, bf3, anything new-age really and remind myself once again what my computer is capable of. Everything maxed out with silky fps. What are you playing on, a server? The game runs terrible. Yes it's old and wasn't necessarily designed for newer equipment, but you just talked so much garbage I mentally saw the dumpster pour. In actual relevance, I hope an nvidia 560 really will properly run this game as they say it will haha.

The sandbox survival experience is unlike any other. Thought haven't really played much at all lately since every time me and my buddy start doing well we've been getting hackslapped. Still hop on occasionally for kicks I guess. Just gotta avoid them populated servers like the dirty plague that they are.

The car's a boat (term for a large car), why won't people understand that rofl.

MAKE VEHICLE SPAWNS RANDOM. Problem partially solved. Good day.

If you can't find zombies or a 3 ft. ledge to jump off of to break your legs and bleed out, well, not sure you're cut out for the zombie apocalypse then. Sorry, I'm not trying to be harsh, but killing yourself accidentally from the damn button is 10x more aggravating than trying to find a single zombie to kill yourself from if you are so intent on cutting down the distance of your friends. Even more counter-argument: Ever misclick respawn trying to change controls/video options when you're already with your friend and have to run 20 mins to get back? Yeah that's worse than spending a minute finding zombies to get killed by and respawn. Hell, my body was gone by the time I made it back, lost FN FAL, 7 tools, etc, alot worse than spending a minute to find a freaking zombie.

Disabling respawn button? Thank youuu.. I've died as many times from it as I have hackers (twice from each). Thank you so much. XD Also I bid you good luck trying to work out the whole Alt+F4 matter, seems very difficult to find a proper solution. However, I did like the 5 seconds of staying around after disconnect, although imo it could be lengthened to maybe about 15-30 seconds (if this banning thing doesn't work out with the false positives and such). edit: If the 15-30s delay on disconnect was reimplemented again, and people have problems with disconnecting / bad internet, I guess it could be time to upgrade to a decent connection. Absolutely incredible work. Thanks again for actually listening to the community, that is just one more reason I have a feeling this will be an extremely successful title when released.

Save the childish remarks for some internet blog site. You only make yourself look like your eight years old, and I'd be in great disbelief if you said otherwise after that kind of comment lol. The suggestions forum is for constructive feedback, not your anal lube comments. The respawn button is hella annoying and should have a confirmation button if not be removed altogether. If people wanted to kill themselves, they could find zombies in about 60 seconds or less. Misclicking and wiping days of work is lame, if they had a kill-yourself-in-one-button beside options in diablo 2 hardcore, people would misclick and rage too.

Add a yes/no confirmation box on clicking it or remove the bloody respawn button altogether. If we really wanted to kill ourselves I think it would take maybe a full 60 seconds to find some zombies or a place to jump off of, break legs and enjoy that sweet sweet bleedout. Anyways, I have a thread made in my sig suggesting these measures, you can reply/like it if you want to help this get more attention. edit: Oh sick I never heard about respawn being disabled in the future, free cookie for whoever posts the source link lol.

People need to turn their head bob all the way off. I did this in probably the first 30 mins of play. 3rd person is only nice to view my character's sexiness of all the epic gear he's acquired, and to cheat by avoiding painkiller shaky cam. I pretty much just use 1st the entire time, since I carry 1-2 painkillers at all times.

I had 207 headshots and 207 zombies killed, aka 100% headshot ratio, then I accidentally wiped my char by misclicking beside the options menu, (you know, that big fat slay-your-hardcore-char-in-one-click-button, respawn). Didn't take it too well lol. Dunno, wouldn't really care if leaderboards came back, more concerned about the removal of this retarded respawn button or at least adding a yes/no confirmation box on something as important as losing days/weeks of progress in a single freaking misclick. You can read my sig thread for more info's if you want.

To be brutally honest, removing sniper rifles from Day Z wouldn't bother me in the slightest, because then people would actually require -skill- to PvP in this game. That's also 95% of the reason so many people are crying on this thread and saying no. Lol. If they are to remain, there should be huuuge bullet drop and more shakiness when prone, to match that of crouching at the very least. It's too easy mode right now. High risk high gain makes sense for PvP, not just high bush high gain, that's a pretty bad concept lol. Almost as bad as one click killing your hardcore character without a confirmation box when you tried to change controls/video settings. (See signature thread).

I suggest a yes/no confirmation box popup when you choose to respawn. Reasoning: I have slain myself twice now, being careless trying to change controls too fast and my hand slips on the respawn box, and boom, one hit death. Lol that respawn button is more dangerous than zombies and some players even. Was doing very well, 200+ kills, FN FAL, 7 tools, and even 100% headshot accuracy (was doing extremely well here, never maintained 100% hs ratio before). For something as IMPORTANT as killing yourself with a click, can we please have a yes/no confirmation for respawning? This is hardcore mode.. I realize I screwed up hard doing stuff too fast (can you blame me, Arma 2 controls require a ton of rebinding), but if there was a one-click "kill yourself" button in Diablo 2 hardcore, people would freak too lol. Thanks for reading.

I love this idea, heck I'll be honest, I've dreamed of this concept ever since I was young lol. Biggest problem I can see with it though, next to making the maps modeled after the map images, is finding players to play with lol. If everyone is playing in their hometown, there will be like 2 people for me to play with in Regina, SK :(

You could always leave the server if people constantly KO stunlock griefed you, I mean, even if a 30 second timer was implemented leaving you there defenseless when you d/c, you already are a sitting duck.

I searched Respawn and didn't see any threads. I guess it wasn't specific enough, my bad, no need to have a shitfit lol. This is a big enough problem that getting attention never hurt anyways. People can just alt+F4, or ctrl alt delete, this has nothing to do with the wussies who server bounce. This has to do with the legit players dying when they try to remap Arma 2's god awful controls / change video settings to make the freaking game playable since its optimization is pretty bad. I shouldn't even have to touch the video settings, much less turn them waaay down. Playing with antialiasing on low right now when every other game I play is 16 or 32x. The game punishes us enough with bad optimization, misclick killing myself only adds to rediculous amounts of aggravation.

Oh, you know I will haha. Possible alternative: Just take out or deactivate the stupid Respawn button altogether. Reason: If I really want to kill myself to spawn closer to x, I don't think it would be that hard to find some zomboes, or a nice high place to jump from to break my legs and bleedout. So far this button has only caused me more grief than good. And by grief I mean losing my entire inventory, having stats wiped, and having to run across the entire map just to meet up with my buddy again. Not cool for one click to cause this much damage, and a definite turnoff for play desirability. Hell, my body was even gone by the time I made it all the way back (I died at the top of Klen hill and heard flies. Kind of hard to miss a body there).

Try accidentally slaying yourself when you're doing really well by quickly changing controls/video options and slipping onto the "Respawn" button instead of "Options." You now know threats still exist in this game. Enjoy.

Today I killed myself by my hand slipping on Respawn when I was trying to click Options -> Controls to rebind some vehicle movement keys. Had FN FAL, 7 tools, 207 zombie kills and 207 headshots, I've never maintained such a good headshot ratio in my life. Yep 100%. 'Course you can't get attached though. Becaaaaause... ..All wiped by one bad click rofl. So rediculous that there is no yes/no confirmation box on respawn killing a HARDCORE character, wiping everything. That's so annoying I decided to make a thread about it in suggestions. (Please reply to it / etc. for it to get some attention). And the worse part: I've done this before trying to change video options >_> Haha so rough. If Diablo 2 hardcore had a one click wipe button placed right beside options, oh maan would the rivers run hard with tears.

I'm not expecting anything. Thus the suggestion, and not a command to implement this feature. However im sure with Rocket's coding genius he could make a yes/no popup box as one of 10 other little fixes in a hotfix update without too much effort. Or at least I hope it wouldn't take hours of work to code in.

I've seen a few servers without zed spawns, and 20+ players. Bugged I think. Immediate left the server, what fun is a zombie apocalypse with only living meatbags to fight off ha.

Backstabbing, trolling, call it what you will. Trolololol This one time I saw a body on the noob shores sprawled on the floor and hatchets just came out so I decided to test it on the body to test range / see if there would be blood spray. Surely enough the body twitched so I lol'd and kept swinging, got a murder count and felt like Jack Nicholson for the rest of that char's life. Another time I was in the train station with nothing but a hatchet and buddy crouched walked in with a lee enfield pointed my direction so I started swinging away, got one swing, nothing happens, he keeps walking by and didn't even notice me. Swung again at his back, at this point I'm sure he hears the "gunshot" sounds from the hatchet (this needs to be removed, not stealthy at all XD). After 2-3 full pointblank swings that never connected at all, he turned around and 1 shot me. Was worth a try I guess, all I had to lose was a hatchet and some bandages really.

I lol'd when I read some peeps defending arma 2 and saying it is optimized. Far from it actually. It looks like crap next to games I max out on my $2,000 rig such as Deus Ex:3 and Battlefield:3. However, it's also 3 years old so deserves some credit in that regard. To even be comparable to new games is actually pretty respectable. Anyways, I can't max it out without it being highly unplayable. Sure, it's a more complex engine, but the graphics engine is definitely older and not as nice looking. But saying it's optimized is pure fanboy ignorance. It's still a great game nonetheless, but don't speak before you think. I'm a computer network technician with many certifications, I think I know a bit about computers. However, I imagine a reason it doesn't run too well with new-age equipment is in part due to the fact it's based on directx9 and not 11 as most games are these days and how the newer video cards are more accommodated for directx11. You can't blame them, it's an older game. So I'm not bashing it one bit, just saying, I can go to task manager and see how it's hardly using any of my cpu and gpu yet still barely churns out 40 fps on med-high settings. IMO it's not super terrible though. I would just have hated to buy it on my comp 3 years ago and probably be running it on low specs at best ha (I didn't have nearly as nice of a rig 3 years ago, but I didn't spend 2 grand recently to not be able to max out a 3 year old game LOLOLOL). SSD hd, core i7 2600k, 16g ram, gtx 570 sc and I can't even come close to maxing it? Yeah something's seriously wrong when top of the line parts 3 years later can't max it. But yes I too am hoping Arma 3 is more optimized. Only time will tell.

Maybe instead of a skilltree or complete opposition of a skill tree you could start with one spec that does not level up at all but provides one benefit of your choice. Could spawn as a doctor, scout, sharpshooter, mechanic, driver/pilot, engineer, melee specialist, etc. These spec's would only provide really minor bonuses though. Just a random idea thrown out there, I don't mind it the way it is now though, an even playing field is always nice. However maybe sharpshooter should give super minor bonuses so 90% of the flippin' community isn't one. Don't really need to give anymore bonuses to camping snipers and jazz lol.
