How is that a problem?

And i just found the ultimate solution.... On death, your tent is moved to a random point of the map :)

using a LOS based fog of war. Interesting idea, but they are usually found in games that use a tile system to build the game world. And i assume that there is an exellent reason for that.

There is no such thing as a need for end game content if the game is properly designed.

At the contrary, we want to make it more interesting, it's not a limitation of the game, more like a limitation of senses, it's like saying all RTS games should remove the fog of war because it's "limiting" the game. Also making games has never been about catering to the majority, most of the time the majority doesn't really realise how important some features are to a game. Let game designers design games.

And you never wondered why it was so?

They actually moved to the Torque engine, saying that it suited their need better than cryengine :)

There is no reason the loot tables have to be frozen tho.

Well a lot of wounds are fatal but do not kill you as they land, a few seconds can pass before it does and you are still concious then. It's this "desperately clinging to life" vision that i find gripping. Hell a lot of soldiers simply pass out long before they actually die from the wound.

Yeah i was checking various games, recently tomb raider seems to be "famous" for it, sadly most of those deaths are completely scripted and not really dynamic. God i hate quicktime events...

Where do you guys get all your high tech gear from when nobody manufactures it anymore? You really think there would be any military toys of this kind left for you to find after even just a month?

Everyone has sniper rifles because there is no "sink" mechanic removing objects from the game and forcing players to use something else than the most powerful gun available, add weapon degradation and adjusted spawn chances based on how widespread each weapon is and it will change. Tho if we had dynamic ratio spawning, with the amount of high power sniper rifles in backpacks and tents at the moment i don't think there would be any sniper rifles spawning for several months.

I did not mean a single stock animation, but there is a lot that can be done beyond just having a simple ragdoll replacing the player, a few subtle cues of life leaving the character to break the feel of "doll falling down", shakes, fingers clawing, a little bit a of blood of course if it needs it (but not a lot, we only have so much of it). A player that died while he was crawling on the ground would obviously look like he kept trying to escape the danger some more, while a player shot in the chest point blank would have fallen backward, looking at his killer for example. A player who dies of poisoning might be curled on himself laying on the ground, gripping himself and convulsing during his agony. Also there are many ways to die, in BF3 you just have this silly first person "hand", being in first person makes it less visual so i think you should see it from 3rd person if possible It's not a high priority suggestion obviously.

All we really need is animals that actively try not to get killed. The average forest runner should hardly ever see an animal because they would hear and see him way before he does and run away.

Are you for real? The gunplay is the only thing, if any that makes the arma engine special.

And who do you think you are getting the blood from? Oh did you think this was an actual blood pack and not a transfusion kit?

Excepted you got it backward, the shot to the head come last. Why? because the two to the chest are to incapacitate while the head shot is an "after the facts" execution (which obviously when it comes to law enforcement shouldn't be done unless there is a reason). This comes from when body armors started getting more prevalent, shoot the center of mass, if it's still a threat after that, shoot the head.

Headshots are a stupid videogame meme, hardly anyone headshot in the real world, excepted in some rare bombing threats where a sure kill is required to ensure the guy doesn't push "the button". Body shot is the rule in the real world, on a normal human being it is just as effective and you have less chances of missing.

I could argue that in the real world you do not "choose" to become mentally unstable, or choose to avoid it, it just happen. Making it part of some kind of punishment/reward system is pretty short sighted and insensitive.

What is the point? So the can have a chance at preparing? What for they will die just the same. Combat is already over before it even started depending of the gear but also your placement on the battlefield and your reactions under pressure. But that's just me simply because i believe no one deserve to live in this game, if they do survive, it means they earned it. BUT, you shouldn't actually spawn until your client finished loading the game.

Toilet paper is really not the paper you want to use for a molotov. Toilet paper is designed to be water soluble, so that it will not clog piping. If you cannot get an old rag of some kind, disposable hankershief might be the next best choice to avoid getting your hand coated with gas.

A mental disorder is a psychological pattern or anomaly, potentially reflected in behavior, that is generally associated with distress or disability, and which is not considered part of normaldevelopment in a person's culture. Different societies or cultures, even different individuals in a subculture, can disagree as to what constitutes optimal versus pathological biological and psychological functioning. Likewise, the fact that a behavior pattern is valued, accepted, encouraged, or even statistically normative in a culture does not necessarily mean that it is conducive to optimal psychological functioning.

"In this world, there is no sanity or insanity. Here lie only the thousand faces of madness."

Yay another one of those "woah" suggestions that never passed the test of "is it really needed" and "does it break the game"

Normally textures use mip mapping, i don't "think" you have to do anything in this regard, but i could be wrong, i don't really know the paa format.
