Because the Ghillie suit is not good enough already? I'd rather not have thermal scopes in the game instead. DayZ really could use more russian and eastern european guns. There should be more AK variants, Mosin-Nagants and SKS rifles instead of all these western guns. Maybe add some ex-Yugoslavian guns too.

I don't think BI would still be in business if they sold that few copies, has to be at least a couple hundred thousand. While it's probably a bit cheaper to develop in the Czech republic than in the US or Canada creating a game like Arma2 still takes a years of (highly skilled) man hours.

Swap out the i5 2500k and the GTX480 for something that is not outdated.

Just create a new profile, that usually fixes this.

IIRC the Kobra is only good up to 200m range, it is a great gun for running around in Elektro or Cherno though, main advantage of the M16 is range and the ability to use SD ammo for zombies. The iron sights are pretty good too, I prefer them over the ones of the AK74 and AKM.

You would not shoot everything that moves either because firefights are deadly and you only have one life. In DayZ I try to kill everyone I see because they might carry that L85, NVG or GPS, I blow up cars with 50cal rifles so they respawn faster and after I die I grab a gun and go play Cherno or NW airfield deathmatch with no regard to my safety because it's the quickest way to get geared again. As long as there are no game mechanics that reward cooperation with random people most players will behave this way. Survival is only a struggle for the first couple minutes. If you team up with randoms not only do you have to share the loot, chances are they'll shoot you in the back to get some crap that spawns in every second building. All this hurfdurf about the harsh post-apocalyptic world forcing you to shoot the guy who helped you in the head after you played for 2 hours together is just bullshit, people just like to get easy kills and then blog about it like they pulled off some huge EVE-O heist. Without incentives to work together and the only things to do ingame being aquiring lootz and killing people that just won't change. I'd love to see more defined player factions (outside of RP servers/groups), ATM there is not even a split into "carebears" and "bandits". Communicating with people outside your group is just too hard and risky to build up trust and you don't even get to know your enemies because there is no interaction at all outside of watching kill messages scroll by. No feuds, no grudges, no claiming territory, just shooting random dudes.

People pick up everything else leaving just empty cans, eventually there will be cans everywhere. I don't think that they actually despawn. Just get rid of them and wait 5-10 minutes ~150m away and new loot will have spawned. The same thing happens in the barracks, every 2 minutes some server hopper will take anything worth picking up leaving just the crap. If you want the good stuff just clean out the loot spawns.

That team of spotters needs a vehicle first to get to the camp. And guess where all the cars are hidden?

Is the time it takes for bodies to disappear random? Yesterday I shot some guy in Berezino and after barely 10 minutes the body disappeared, yet a few days ago I ran all the way from the coast to the NE airfield to loot my corpse, it was still there ~3 hours after dying.

I'd like to be able to actually switch between rifle, pistol, hatchet and flashlight. Maybe make all guns toolbelt items and nerf backpack size a bit.

This used to be a problem but is no longer viable as players can spawn anywhere within a large area. On Canada 2 the debug forest is usually camped by snipers, if you don't still have a gun I would not even bother trying to get to Pavlovo.

The TWS is hacked? Or is that variant actually in DayZ?

Confirming this, I just found a Bison SD, some grenades and a Coyote pack there.
