Yes, and it already is. Even a makarov is a one shit to the head, and this is common knowledge.

Having ai on the server is more stressful than players. The AI have to make complex decisions all the time, where as the server doesn't make the decisions for real players.

You can set a key binding for 'eject' or 'get out' if you're worried about pressing the wrong thing in the scroll wheel

I don't believe in artificial balancing. Unless the weapon isn't equal to it's real life counterpart, I don't care whether it's not balanced. This game is about realism, not about keeping 12 year olds happy.

There is literally no way to obtain a yellow temperature gauge. He claims it was his rendering or something like that, but in video's you can see it changing from yellow to the normal colour. There is an obvious difference between the 2. I know a person who bought hacks for a month (well, i know several, but we won't go there), and he confirmed that godmode gives you a randomly flashing yellow temp gauge. There is no other way to get it either. You don't get a yellow temp gauge for being a good player either, so don't try that one on me, Tim. Apart from that, all the other things can have reason behind them, but they are so far fetched it's hilarious.

The yellow flashing temperature gauge There are often parts where he gets hit by zombies and doesn't lose blood The debug changing while on taviana A hacker breaks his legs in one video, and he fixes it with hacks, which leaves the broken leg icon there, but he can run around There is a log on reddit which shows frankie on someones server changing his name about 10 times (same IP every time), and using a different GUID later when he is banned. He always has decent gear In one video he spots someone 800m away in the corner of his screen. His excuse is his monitor is great. I don't care for the "well his video's are entertaining" argument. The fact he hacks ruins it completely for me. Back on topic though :P

Hacking works well for frankie on both private and public servers. Last time I played on public server I was killed by a hacker within 20 minutes. I generally stick to private hives.

Welcome to online gaming! This is the case for every game really. There will always be someone who will whine about being killed when someone used skill to kill them.

The numbers to the left have nothing to do with your location, they are merely used to show what section, squad or company you are in. Picking a different slot when in the lobby will yield a different number to the left of what you type. This guy is either a hacker, someone who saw you land (most likely), or an admin using his admin tools as an advantage, and he's covering it up. Can I ask where you landed? It might reveal whether he was hacking, or just came across you.

I like 1st person, and I'm sure we all used it for awhile when first playing, but it feels like an unfair playing field if I'm not using 3rd person. For some reason the player feels really short to me. We also need a proper FOV slider. I know you can edit in your profile inside of my documents, but getting that right is hard, and no many people know about it. The game would be much better with just first person in my opinion.

Alright, I just went and tested this, and the sun starts to rise at exactly 4:35am, and the sun is fully visible on the horizon at 6:05am.

Unfortunately for you, GTA is listed as the most influencial sandbox game of the 21st century. GTA SA pretty much set the bar when it comes to sandbox games. I'm not saying that it was the greatest sandbox game ever, but it had an extreme amount of depth. I'd say that with the player customizations and such coming, that the DayZ SA is on the verge of being a real sandbox game.

Both options don't solve the problem. You can't press respawn when unconscious by the way.

Is this your own definition? Sounds very upfront about it. Arma 2 is a sandbox game. I think people just carry it over because dayz obviously runs on arma.

1. To be fair, the shaking is pretty realistic. It's not easy to be sprinting and holding a flashlight at the same time, although I do find it annoying that you have to slow walk in order to see where you're going. I'm sure they'll sort something better out for the SA. 2. As far as I know there is no way to break you bone on nothing. They don't just randomly break. Maybe from a hacker, but that's it. Treat doors with care, don't sprint around buildings, especially when you're playing with friends. 3. Side chat is everyone. Direct chat is everyone within about 100m of you, you can use voice in that aswell, but it can only be heard from about 30-40m. Vehicle is everyone inside the vehicle you're in. Group chat is something from ArmA 2, it's for squads within teams. As far as I know it works like direct chat, but it's not needed. Don't worry about group chat. 4. Whoops. This appears to be the original DayZ! Seriously though, this is from when dayz was in the testing stages, back when it was on utes, and you spawn with a Mk17 CCO. Zombies back then sounded way scarier, you're lucky! 5. DayZ commander isn't official. There are other alternatives.

Treat it like it's some kind of vintage item. They've stopped making them (they no longer spawn), but you can still have one. Once they're all gone, they're all gone though.

Without sounding like a massive dick, isn't this a really simple concept? Click, or hold down. It's not really something you should be getting confused about.

Inspiration isn't really taking something and making it better now is it?

Fair point, I guess I should have read it properly. He wasn't just inspired by it though. He was playing it one day with some friends, and said "I can make a game 1000x better than this" and after not doing so for half a year, he did.

Chernarus Apocalypse has no open world survival. It's extremely liniar. There is no permadeath, you respawn as another character, and come in with your friends again. There is no loot either, just ammo boxes. While dayz is not a completely new idea, it has a whole bunch of ideas crammed into one to make a new idea. An open world survival game with perma death, random spawn points, and effectively no loot on spawn has been done before.

"U HAV3 N0 LIF3 xDDDD111!!!!!1!" Stop.

It is real. Only, OP somehow managed to get "The guy behind DayZ commander is working on some news tools, sign up to be part of the beta" confused with "sign up and you'll get access to the dayz closed test". I think OP needs to read just a little more carefully.

The name makes me cringe.

Yes, all the textures for everything will be high res, no matter what map or server you're on.

Oh my. Of course they work. It has nothing to do with dayz, or whether or not you're playing on the hive, so yes it will work on every server you ever join in Arma 2
