EA hasn't turned a profit in several years. There's also rumours that they are up for sale. http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/28406-ea-might-be-up-for-sale

Yup. The Airfield at Balota and certain other areas will do the same thing. There's a large number of "Fixes" suggested but they are only temporary and only work for some people and not others. Rocket has way too much on his plate, he's doing to much of the coding and testing on his own. until he gets a proper team and the standalone these problems will continue to plague DayZ. They also need to hire someone on to manage things. Rocket has great ideas and it's baby but he needs someone who has expertise in managing a project like this.

Classic. Thats the problem with DayZ.... Rocket is too obsessed with adding new stuff and can't be bothered with fixing whats already there and broken. His answer to Barbwire griefing....... Add bear traps. DayZ is a awsome idea and he has some great ideas for full game once he gets the standalone but he seriously lacks focus. He needs someone else who can help him with planning no more of the hodge podge miss mash of throwing things around like crazy. Someone who knows how to focus on a goal and formulate a plan on getting it done.

Doing that would be against the DayZ development pattern. Barbwire being used a a grieving tool. Answer: Add bear traps Graphical problems: Answer: Lets think about adding dogs Zombies zig zagging and killing you through walls.: Answer: Less zigzagging, make them faster and leap 30 feet with a flying bone breaking kung-fu fist. 1 alone guy doing the coding, reading forum posts: Answer: Start talking to MS and Sony about a console version, Must get more on my plate, not busy enough. Zombies spawning next to you in open areas: Answer: Make them also spawn next to you in rooms and stairs that player already checked or cleared. It's a clustercluck of confusion, thats just the way it is. No rhyme or reason

Post a picture of him and we can make funny photoshops of him doing nasty things with justin Beiber

NO They use the EGO engine which is the same one conmasters users for all their driving games, it was built for driving games. Conmasters owns the Operation Flashpoint name only because they published OFP. They did not make it.

And thats EXACTLY the attitude thats leading to companies selling us LESS for MORE. A company can take a lump of dog turd, put it in a DVD case and slap a $60 price tag on the front and people like you would buy it and then say "Thank you sir, may I have another?" People like you are the reasons you rarely see a manual come with a game anymore People like you are the reasons why developers continue to release buggy, broken games and never fix them. People like you are the reasons why EULA's telling customers to stuff it is you don't like it are common nowadays. People like you are the reasons games come with huge chunks ripped out of them and sold as overpriced DLC. You are a corporate money grubbing suits wet dream. Pathetic

Console players can be uspet if a game is a bad PC port????? You mean a game that looks glorious and awesome on PC and looks like complete crap on console???...... THATS THE CONSOLES FAULT not PC or the developer. Gamers who are pissed because "their" game is released on another system are stupid It has nothing to do with a game simply being released on another system. it's what happens to the quality of the game on PC when that happens, along with the lack of support given to PC and the constant whining when a game is "Too hard" and not enough hand holding that consolers have a nasty habit of demanding. Battlefield 3 is a turd because consolers flooded the EA forums with demands that the game be dumbed down, remove this...remove that..... give is killcam.....commander is a hack... no prone for snipers, It's not fair they shot me....waaaa waaaa waaaa.

Ya they are and so are people pirating the games. Repeating the myths won't make them come true. Lag-switching, rapid-fire controllers..... to name just a couple.

Sitting on a couch with a controller. good luck with that. Ignoring the fact that the game would be a hollow shell of the original just to get it to run.

How can they be exactly the same and PC get shitty ports? crappy console ports are more then just lower graphic detail.....it's the controls......easier gameplay......built in cheats...even auto-aim in the settings.... Battlefield 3 for example has totally ditched the tactical play of BF2/1942/2142 for a pure run and gun, no commander COD clone. Console games are made on the cheap and churned out in mass to recover the lost $$$ on selling consoles at a loss in the store. Loss leader: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_leader Consolers have lower expectations Consolers don't invest YEARS in a game. They play something, see the next shiney toy and go buy that. Consolers demand easy to play games. They see a PC game and demand a dumbed down version of it [iE... Battlefield] Consolers don't demand quality Consolers are on average much much younger and it's the parents buying the games so they don't really have any personal investment in it. if it sucks...they don't care, no money lost. Console games are just watered down beer with a higher price.

Standalone game The Arma 2 engine is built on a trust system, open to modding and scripting thats the problem. Along with the fact that DayZ attracts the script kiddy crowd like flies. Arma 2 has it's occasional hackers but nothing like what we're seeing in DayZ mostly because the crowd that plays that are much older [35 and up] who are not interested in P0WNING people and generally causing sh#$. Until the standalone comes your going to have to deal with it and theres only so much Battleye can do under those conditions.

I remember the Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 forums [uK Forum] very clearly in the months leading up to both of those games releases. The consolers were crying that battlefield was too hard, bullets do too much damage.....why is there no regenerating health?.... remove prone, it's not fair snipers can't be seen.... calling the commander position an all seeing hack.. We need a killcam!!111 ........blah blah blah. The COD crowd joined in on the whining that Battlefield was too hard, needs to be faster..less tactical.. All that whining from the consolers/COD crowd is what you now see in Battlefield 3. In fact several long time hard working PC community members who were invited to EA's offices in Los Angeles to see the first Beta versions of the console version of Bad Company 2 all got their EA accounts banned after they dared go on the forums and tell the community that it's a severaly graphically and gameplay wise dumbed down version of Battlefield.. Gordon Van Dyke the producer invited them personally "to show PC gamers that they weren't dumbing down the game", when they didn't agree and told the truth the paid the price. So ya, consolers with their low expectations and demands to dumb down games have a LOT of do with the crap we on PC have to deal with.

Consoles are what is known as a "Loss leader",, What that means is it' costs MORE to manufacture, market and ship a console then what it sells for. They lose money on every console they sell. Nobody would buy them if MS and Sony sold consoles for the price it cost to make them + a little profit. They nail you on the costs of games and they pump out as many crappy, dumbed down, cheap ass games as possible to recover the hundreds of millions of dollars they lost when they console firts came out. You DO NOT need to spend £1500 for a pc... that a bullsh$%# MYTH spread by consolers who's mommy and daddy won't give them any money for a PC. The cost of a console + games over it's lifetime is actually the SAME or MORE then it would cost to buy a decent gaming PC that can do so much more and have access to THOUSANDS of free games and apps. The PS3 was estimated to cost nearly $800 to make when it came out based on research of the parts and the prices Sony paid for them at the time. so they were losing close to $500 per PS3 sold for years........and unless the person who bought each PS3 bought enough games, Sony never makes any money thats why they churn out so many console games every year.... to recover their money and hopefully turn a profit. Do the math. how much did your NEW console cost and how much have to blown on games. Chances are you could have bought a decent PC for that much and got SO MUCH MORE.

oh and BTW..... Bohemia is on record for YEARS stating that Arma 2/3 will not be released on consoles because the engine has long since outgrown them. Go ahead and start a "I want Arma 3 on my console" thread on the Arma forum and see how fast it gets closed. They'll say. not gonna happen... Use Search function next time. CLOSING. Even with a standalone DayZ version of the engine their going to have to gut it to hell and back just a squeeze it onto an Xbox or PS3. Rocket who is the sole person working on the code for DayZ is going to have what little time and resources he has now stretched thin trying to crank out a dumbed down console DayZ. This is about money pure and simple.

Been gaming for over 35 years, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I put quarters into a game called "Computer Space" when it was in arcades next to the pinball machines. Look it up I remember the days when games came with magical things called Manuals that had 100 or more pages. Games based on books CAME with a copy of the actual book. what you call "Special Limited L33T Edition" now and costs $150 is what we used to get in every game. People would buy games based on the weight of the box sometimes. - Thief 3 - F.E.A.R 2/3 - Battlefield 3 Just three examples of games that started on PC and went console port turd even after the developers said.... PC is the lead platform.. we love you guys.. trust us...blah blah blah Cross platform gaming is BAD for PC.... We always get the short end of the stick You're simply too young to remember a day when games on PC were not dumbed down console ports and developers like EA were actually worshipped for their quality and not corporate money grubbing scammers.

Because it never turns out that way. And Rocket is one guy, he's got enough on his plate developing DayZ into an actual game beyond a gather food and weapons walking simulator taking on consoles will lead to the PC suffering AGAIN because the developer is too busy dealing with console issues. Oh and once a new console game comes out the consolers will dump DayZ like a wet blanket for the new shiny toy. Rocket and Bohemia will have their money and PC players will be left begging for support, if they don't do what they did with Battlefield and Crysis and say bye bye.

Thats what every developer throughout history has said just before they dump the latest console port turd on us and then spend all of their time and effort on the console version. DayZ isn't even out of Alpha and barely has anything other then gather weapons, food then walk around killing people out of boredom and he's talking console. It sounds to me like $$$ are starting to ring in his head.

I'll pay to have this thread removed and the OP spanked

Completely different company and engine. Conmasters owns the OFP name from when they published the original OFP that BOHEMIA made.

Dragon Rising has absolutely NOTHING to do with the original Operation Flashpoint made by Bohemia or Arma. Conmasters simply own the name since they published Operation Flashpoint.. The engine they use to make DR/RR is the same one they use for their driving games like GRID.

Whats happening is Battleye likely did a major update and all the hackers got spanked. Happens all the time No matter what game and anti-cheat used, the complaints about being unfairly banned, "I'm a legit player"...."must be FRAPS" or *insert other 3rd party software* come flooding in after every major update. Hackers believe that if they whine and cry enough they'll get unbanned. This beta patch / BE ban thing is only an issue with the DayZ crowd because thats where the hackers are. Vanilla Arma 2 players using the Beta patch are uneffected because they aren't a bunch of 12 year old hackers.

Stop using hacks

Large bans occur when there is a major update of ANY anti-cheat software. You cheat and BE caught up to you.. it was only a matter of time. Stop hacking and you won't get banned. Simple
