I had it and I like it more than m107 for lonely kills. (Bolt action and zeroing works fine.) Even though I have m107 atm and it is a killer.(esp over 1000m or to vehicles...)

Hey Rocket just tiny cometic thing. To avoid most of the confusion, just do the thing and codify what most people subconsciouly knows. It is not version 1.7.2.6 but 0.1.7.26. We all know that, but some people are just not that good with subtext.

WHat a bad idea this thread is. Also Black and White was astonishingly impressive game. I remember when I brought it home back in '01... and then for two days was just figuring out what the hell this game wants me to do and intentionally by accident killing villagers and playing cow tekken.... I mean, it was not great >game< per say, but on level of experience it was sooo goood and rich....

Look, I sometimes truggle to get 40-60 with i5-2500k/24GB-DDR3/AMDHD5870 - 1920x1080/very high everything except textures high - post normal - no MSAA - FXAA high(sharp) So... there is that. ARMA2 is not even DX10/11 game so graphics is not streamlined much(really, dx10/11 is different from 9 in mostly optimalizations that allows modern games to produce great graphics with less demands on cputime/shader times) and engine is huge in what is calculated, therefore it is CPU load heavy. You really cannot go much higher with FPS on your current setup.

Hey it is alpha -- it is version 0.1.7.2.5 (I presume). For that it is heavy playable. Now as to why are numbers dropping? - new games arriving (I am alive, Sleeping Dogs etc) - school starting - waiting for new version for this or that reason: ---graphics bug ---lack of new features(ok fro alpha) ---waiting for standalone - playing private hive or LI - not playing for being mismatch with the game (can happen) - frustration with the game (difficulty, bugs, got killed in cherno again... whatever - this however is only temporary). Myself.. I cannot play this game for multiple sessions after others. I can have two nights, but then it starts fu**ing with my understanding of society and reactins

Well, I like you writing style a lot. British accent of one James Callis would suit that. Aside from that, your post repeats one single thought - its alpha, where are the updates and why it is open. Hopefully, BattlEye will get it sorted out. (since they started noticing scripting, I have seen too many bans and not much of the hackers, let's up it will keep up with scripting tools producers (I have found way too many ***s for 14.99USD than I hoped to in one single google search). And with standalone annoucment, I expect one to five updates maximum released before official DayZ game powered by Arma III engine is released (at least in alpha). For me, DayZ now lacks endgame content, or cloning stuff is way too easy (or I just teamed up with 10 ppl and game began to be easier. (Me wants 150ppl in server yay!)

You do not need any program. Just copy dayz files ("pbo"s) to "@dayz" directory in your ARMA 2 directory. Install latest beta patch. then in steam click on "add non steam game" and add arma 2. then right click on that shorctut and select properties this should be put into TARGET "PATH TO\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-mod=PATH TO\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2;Expansion;ca;Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;@dayz" "-name=PROFILE NAME" -nosplash -world=empty -maxMem=2047 START IN PATH TO\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\ DONE!!

Have you played any TES game?:D

Honestly true criticism at this point about standalone DayZ cannot be made. Actually all those people who bought ARMA solely for DayZ made it happen. Since over 1,000,000 ppl played DayZmod, for publisher it is actually quite easy to decide, whether there is audience for DayZgame. It is sort of success story and great example to prove how e.g. DICE/EA screwed everyone - but mostly themselves! - by not releasing map/mod tools for B3/BFBC2. I can only say congrats to DayZ and BI, and Rocket (great idea! outstanding work!). Now, what is realistic critisism imo? Making anti-cheat/anti-script work. That should be first thing to sort out in alpha. No gaming can continue with this sort of abusing of the game engine, not to mention testing. (Not sure whether DayZ, BI or BattleEye can make it happen. I imagine some sort of collaboration. And when DayZgame goes out, I am anxiously waiting for what changes is going to happen. End-game content, like ages in web-based strategies? Nukes? Tunnels? Radios? Tribes? (I would love to carve wood statutes to create tribal totem. Maan, I would love me some tribal orgies!)

No. No. No. You really want +1 stamina, +2 luck in MilSim? Are you mad? Play original ARMA 2 for like an hour. Skillset is only yours to have. There cannot be any +1/4. It is directly against everything which makes this game really good. Private stats? Quite possible, yet technically tricky. I can see something like that implemented in standalone.

ARMA 2 has great SP experience. Aside from bugs (I bought it when OA was realeased, therefore after some patching), the experience so different than B3 / COD / Uncharted / every other "AAA" game was/is exactly what I was looking for. It is hard as hell, mission can even end without you ever move. But this is part of the deal. Try playing EW campaign and tell me what you think afterwards.

Since even lamest kid can buy those for 14.49USD (script injection program) .. I guess...

you have to run original games (arma 2, oa in this order) BEFORE playing any mods at least once (suffice to get into menu) ,

I understand. I am just thinking, given you stated you have experience in that field, that you offer your time and skills to contribute. But hey, I am just telling you what to do, this ain't no nice.:D
