Hi DayZ fans, I'm sure these are all topics that have been discussed before on these forums. The reason I am posting this is because I feel like they need to be improved before the standalone! If these things happen, I'm sure everyone will have more fun, and DayZ will be the most badass game ever. 1. Hand to Hand Combat I love spawning with close to nothing, and needing to find items to survive, but it's pretty dumb that I can't use my hands! Players should be able to punch and kick other zombies/players, even if it does very little damage. I'd even be satisfied if players could at least push a zombie over, because I am sick of getting chased for miles! 2. Improved Zombie Animation DayZ really draws me in, especially when I play in first person. It even gets me scared when I'm being chased or attacked, BUT the animations have just gotten so stale! The zombies need attacking animations that are convincing, and your character should react in pain instead of just stand there! That would make the game so much more engaging and a whole lot of fun. (And on a side note, zombies need more skins! I'm sick of seeing 5 of the same zombie chasing after me, get some variety in there!) 3. A More Detailed Environment I can't complain about DayZ's graphics. However, I wish more of the houses were enterable. It's gotten to the point where I can look at the model of a house and realize that I can't go in, because it was just like the house in the town I was just at. The houses need to look different in each town, and almost all of of them should be enterable. It'd be cool if some doors were locked and you could shoot the door handles to get inside. I miss when I first started playing DayZ, because back then when I entered a house I would think 'Oh man!!! I wonder what I'm gonna find!!!' I've gotten used to all the house layouts and I'm really hoping that DayZ can get some variety in the future. That is all!

I have been playing DayZ much more than the other games I play in the past week, but it is becoming an eye-sore. I am tired of being chased by 3 zombies that look the exact same, or meeting up with people that are in the same clothes as I am. It is also annoying to me that there are identical houses and buildings in the game in almost every town. I understand it would take too much effort to redesign the graphics for the entire mod, or to make it so you can customize how your character looks, but it would be nice to see a little more variety in the landscapes and characters. Anyone agree with me?

Making more houses enter-able would make DayZ so much more interesting. I get tired of passing through small towns where not a single building is enter-able, and that just means I have to walk more before I reach Cherno or Elektro.

Arma2 OA already has an Addons folder, and there can't be two folder in OA with the same name. Should the Arma 2 free Addons folder be renamed?

Are you trying to run DayZ with arma 2 free? Because that's what I'm doing and I have the same problem. I think it's because combined operations is not being recognized. T_T
