1st Person view is limited in your awareness in game when compared to reality.. this is why the ArmA devs implemented 3rd person. It's a military sim, and 3rd person is an acceptable evil. I like it when traveling or moving around in town, it gives me more awareness than I would get in 1st. So you can look over walls and around corners, in real life you'd be able to hear the other people and know that they were there, but ArmA doesn't do this, so it's substituted with seeing them instead. In real life, you could stick your gun around the corner without exposing yourself, but if they implemented that feature in ArmA, let alone DayZ, everyone would freak. It's give and take, people.

I'm running an i7 2600 with a 550ti, and I can run most things on max settings. 550ti is not a bad card. OP, if you can run ARMAII free on high settings, no problem, then you can run dayz. It doesn't change anything graphically, you just get the HD textures when you get Op:OA, so you may have to dial those down a bit.

I'm down as well.

I'm running an I7 2600, 550ti, and 4 gigs of slow as shit RAM, and I can't run the game almost nearly maxed out for the most part. Some servers seem to run terribly, while most run very well for me. If I were you, I would try to get an I5 2500k, but the only reason I have the i7 is because I only paid $200 for it, the mobo, ram, and the GPU ;)

Playing with a friend tonight, we came across two hackers on US177. Names are _Fangz and Tony. They are using teleport hacks and probably spawn hacks. Unfortunately no screen shots yet.

Only issue of I have with disconnectors is the fact that I'll get the drop on them, kill them, but they D/C right after dying and their body sinks through the floor. I had it happen twice today, and a few times in the past.

I've found that STANAG magazines are much more prevelent than AK74 magazines, but the 74 magazines are still fairly common enough to not warrant any issue with having enough ammunition. The sights are better on the M16 than they are on the AK. Damage is greater, as a 3 round burst is usually sufficient to down someone versus 5 shots for the 74.

Really? Do you really feel that the content is complete in this game? What's the issue with having more content? I've never seen a forum where people were so hostile to each other over suggesting new stuff. It's people like you that ruin this mod, that object to any sort additions because "It's a sandbox/alpha". Who gives a shit what it is, if you don't like it, don't use it.

I wouldn't. If he didn't shoot back, or at least ran away if he was out of ammo, then sucks for him. Very rarely do I let somebody go, I'm not risking them coming back with a gun.

There is no Holo M4 SD, but there is an M4 SD with an Aimpoint, or CCO. I've seen many times where it's been said that it's safe to use hacked weapons if you find them.

That did it, thanks.

Nope, verified the cache and it didn't solve the problem.

Got a new computer, and ever since I started playing DayZ on it, I can't see any zombies, or the field hospitals, or the barracks in Stary sobor. Was just playing with a friend and he aggro'd zeds right by me, but they don't affect me. This is happening with 1.7.2.3 and it happened with 1.7.1.... any body have this happen and find a fix?

Nevermind, resolved the problem.

I liked the zombies in the Walking Dead. Rewatching the first season, it seemed that individual zombies would move pretty slowly, but when they grouped up, they became a fast threat. You'd have the occasional ones that move pretty fast by themselves, but most of them would shamble along loudly trying to get to you, while also attracting more zombies at the same time.
