I run the game fine, but I still wish they could use the engine behind the STALKER games. It could provide the perfect atmosphere for the mod plus other things. Not sure DayZ would be possible on the X-Ray Engine, but if it was it'd be cool. Because I personally, also feel the ARMA 2 engine is complete crap. It just does some things well that fit DayZ.

I would have to agree, it would add a slight variety between the other rifles, and above some good points are made regarding the weapons balance.

Nice story, glad you found someone to team up with. Its great to find someone that doesn't shoot (Or slice) you in the back.

He'd probably just shoot you in the back if you help him. If I was near there, I would just shoot you from a ways away with my rifle.

"Private server" just for "People you know". I believe these are two big problems I see with this situation. I didn't see it in your post, whats the name of the server?

If character A places a tent and then dies, character B can go and take the loot from the tent but will be unable to pack up the tent and move it. I'm not sure how long a tent will last after death, just be sure to save the tent when your done accessing it.
