1:1 raw mouse input is essential for a synergistic brain→hand→mouse→screen feedback loop, think: man and machine. This synergy guarantees the user's own reaction time, dexterity and muscle memory is translated over. Moving a mouse quickly and accurately is a physical and mental skill. Any kind of positive/negative acceleration, smoothing, interpolation, prediction or other limitation will interfere with the translation of the user's natural movement. Mouse input should not be post processed at all (excluding sensitivity multipliers). The raw X/Y data from the mouse needs to be relayed directly into view panning. Raw input ensures user immersion through the preservation of the original data. The ARMA II RV engine has been coded in attempt to simulate realism by altering that 1:1 ratio directly. The engine adds a turn speed limitation and simulates weapon weight (can feel like negative acceleration). While the developers had good intentions the result is counter productive as it creates inconsistency, inaccuracy, mouse lag and poor feedback. Also because of their non-linear function these modifiers have a negative effect on muscle memory (moving the mouse a certain distance consistently). Some areas in a games development need to be compromised in order to serve better functionality. Realism in this case needs to be applied indirectly because an input device such as the mouse is a very simple analogue to the human body. It is impossible to impose variables such as skill/strength/weight/momentum around the basic X/Y input of this device without affecting feedback in a negative way. A mouse and it's 1:1 relationship with the user's intended movement is essential. The issue of realism should be applied in a way that will not affect mouse input directly. Strictly speaking, the mouse is an unconventional analogue and will require an indirect solution. An indirect solution and fair compromise: Brief status from the developers:

I have zero issues with being killed on site. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT EVEN IN THE MOD. If I am killed on site it means I screwed up somehow (I wasn't aware of my surroundings, I did not give myself an advantage, I made an error, I was not well hidden, ect) I am not sure why people run around heavily populated areas expecting not to be shot at. Or they run out into the open waving their arms and then complain about killing on site. In an apocalypse I do not believe you would run right up to a person with a gun and say hi. You would be extremely cautious, stealthy, and calculated.

Set the run Forward key to spacebar and lean your phone on it.

Why not have some honor and play how the devs imagined you to play. Join full servers. Give Your self challenge. I promise the reward will pay off the struggles.

The game is trying to be real to life Unlike The War Z which openly uses big boobed bimbos to sucker virgins into their game. An undershirt is required because sexual flesh would Probably be controversial and take away from the game. Its the right thing to do.

I hope they don't balance anything. Game Don't need balance. You find the loot you earned it. I never felt anything was over powered. I just figure it was my own stupid fault I died. This game Isn't called run out in the open and get shot. Be tactical.

Oh great. So you want WarZ? Not a chance. The community wont give into such nonsense. We like to keep our game hardcore. That's what attracts the masses, a challenge.

The logout system WORKS!

Shadow play uses Kepler's (GPU codename) dedicated H.264 hardware video encoder. This results in only a ~10% performance hit. The compression is very good as it records 1920x1080 at a rate of 50Mbps. Reviewing a few recorded sessions I was quite impressed with the quality (H.264 @ 50Mbps) This is overkill for streaming or Youtube. Both Twitch and Youtube will compress that 50Mbps down substantially regardless of original quality There is no dedicated video encoding hardware on AMD graphics cards so the only option is to use Fraps or Bandi cam for recording.

Oh god sarcasm doesn't even work here.

Treat women as you would treat other men, no special treatment, no hate...just equal. Gender roles are primitive. Sexism is just immature.

I always play from first person on normal servers. I don't like feeling like I'm cheating in any way, and it is immersive. I feel guilty in third person.

Good shit, you have to work for you loot.

This guy has actually been kind in his replies and from what I can tell hasn't insulted anyone. I think this is reverse trolling that has so far...failed completely.

The sudden urge to run around in my underwear swinging a fire axe.

The reward IS surviving... Edit: Great...That was totally not an original comment...

Well...you could not server hop out of honor. Server hopping probably makes one feel cheap. All of a sudden my character wouldn't mean as much to me.

Cant stop the voip.

I REALLY like the breathing fog. In fact I have a fetish for it. so...keep it in

Well, I figure if one was so inclined IRL they could run up to an hour (i really don't know correct me if I'm wrong) which is basically from one end of the map to the other (not to sure onthat one either) *facepalm*. Yes I know... there's a lot of shit on your back. Hopefully you would run slower almost for the same amount of time. Resting just seems kinda pointless at this stage.

what if I fart in the mic tho?

Wow...really? Cool story....

Congrats I guess.

There is nothing that can be done about people using voip so it's a bit pointless to complain about it really.

Haha, what a character. Look at his avatar now. He just doesn't give a fuck about what anyone says. This whole thread is hilarious! Good shit.
