What's with the hype on this saying it's really hard and that crap. I decided yesterday to have a go with some mates. Spawned at elektro and the first thing I had to test, was if you run into the town straight away, without being sneaky, will I get away with it? The answer is a yes. I ran straight to the fire station, found an M9, and an M16, ran to the supermarket, found a czech and whole bunch of food, and went to the north fire station to go back up a friend while he loot. He found an AK-74 and we already decided it was enough. I didn't get hit once, zombies are still easy to lose, and it felt like normal dayz

In a couple of days it should do.

Yes. Zombie mods have been in arma since arma itself came out. DayZ was inspired by Chernarus Apocalypse, and chernarus apoc is just another Arma zombie mods.

Hunger has nothing to do with blood. Eating the steak will always fill your hunger bar, whether it gives you 800. or 1 blood back

Holding down the button is used for zoming which is 10x more useful than being able to hold down to bring up the sights. Also you're going to have trouble with scoped weapons such as the DMR and M107 which have a double zoom. You'll be full zoomed in all the time which will be a pain in the ass. But whatever, there will be an option for that in controls, just look for it.

I took a break from dayz for a month or so maybe 2 months ago, and when I came back I'd realised how much I actually enjoy getting the gear instead of having to worry about losing my .50 cal all the time. I take every death like a man, and most of the time it's a burden of having to look after my gear being taken off my shoulders.

Although this is the same story we hear every day, "my little brother plays on my computer, it was probably him", what you need to do is go into your documents, or your 'my games' folder, and find the ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA folders within there. Delete all of these folders, and buy arma 2 again. If you do not delete these folders, you'll start your game up again, only to have your new CD key banned instantly

I wouldn't consider having much 'know-how' at all, I built my first PC this year, but what shits me off is people who, 1. Brag about their PC's like it's the greatest thing on earth, and 2. People who brag about the parts they have, when the parts they have are a total waste of money, and they clearly did no research. Who the hell shells out $2000+ without properly researching something, and then backs up their idiocy with 'b-b-but I need muh 260gb DDR17 memory for video e-e-editing" Go ahead OP, waste your money, it's not mine, so i don't care. But don't try telling anyone you need this much stuff.

Holy crap, you could rent your own box for 6 months for that amount of money, and do whatever you want with the server

You keep telling yourself that, bud.

I feel embarrassed for OP. No game itself ever needs more than 4gb of ram, and background programs usually never take up more than 2gb. Therefor 8gb is more than enough. 32gb is just showing off and proof you're stupid. Going with a GTX 690 instead of 2 GTX 680's was also a stupid move. Even FrankieonPC said after buying a 690, he's moving to dual GTX 680's because he was disappointed with the 690. How did you convince mummy to buy $2000 worth of PC parts?

BattlEye may ban people by accident on the odd occasion, but if the ban is not justified it will be lifted. If you've been told that your CD key was used to hack, then it was used to hack. So, my guess is you got curious at one point and either started hacking, or you tried to download a bypass, and your CD-key was stolen.

"Oh 2 of my friends were killed instantly because they were running out in the open, I suppose that if I continue running out in the open, nothing will happen to me" - your logic

I and some mates would love to join in, but as we're australians, time zones would be a bit off. Have you got a time zone, and a time frame we could work with at all? Doesn't have to be exact, just within an hour or 2

Hopefully it's a little better than the wedding I did with some friends a few weeks ago. (I'm the 'bloke' in the hero skin getting married)

The Intel setup is twice as good -An AMD user

If it used to work fine, but isn't working fine now, then it's not down to the fact that ArmA II is an intensive game, something has gone wrong with your PC. There are several things that could cause this: -Overheating CPU/GPU -Viruses -Out of date drivers -Failing HDD -Installing adware and other memory/cpu hog programs that you don't need My guess is as good as any others. First, I'd suggest downloading a program like Speedfan to check your CPU/GPU temps. Anything above 60 degrees is a little hot, but I wouldn't worry. If it's hitting 80/90 degrees C while playing games, then I would start to worry a little. If it's not your fan that's the problem, next I'd spend quite some time going through your HDD to see what programs you have installed. If they aren't necessary, then uninstall completely (This may take up to an hour or 2 to do). Make sure you run a full system scan with your antivirus program, not just a quick scan. Some antivirus programs take several hours to do this though, so be aware. Last tip is make sure your computer is still utilizing both your GPU's (if you're crossfiring that is), it may have just forgotten about one of them or something like that.

Only thing is, these aren't mods. These are mission files, and to be honest, Life was ruined by the people who came from DayZ and turned it into a deathmatch.

If you knew what you were doing, and you knew about communicating, you wouldn't have any blue on blue situations.

What's the server name so I can hunt them down? I mean, killing people is part of DayZ, but these guys are assholes

Appreciate the reply, but you ruined it at the end there, asshat.

Yay! Balota Buddies here to save the day yet again! I hope the license you own for your Teamspeak is a "For-profit license" because if it's not, you could have serious issues coming your way. In order to be able to contact everyone, they force you to be in their TS literally every minute you're on their server (I've got no problem with this, it's a good way to contact mods), but they very recently cut down from 20 channels in the Australian whitelist, to 6 channels in the Australian whitelist. Can you imagine fitting 50 players into 6 channels? You can't, because we all have small groups. "No problem", Zabn would say, "you can pay $20 a month to have your own private channel on our Teamspeak". You literally force people without their own Teamspeaks to buy their own channels just so they can play on your server. It's a joke. And the admins think they're above everyone, more so than normal servers.

The thread title was "DayZ PC vs Console", I think it's safe to assume that the thread is indeed, about PC vs Console.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about. A console is a fucking computer you idiot. The only thing stopping it from being a PC is the DRM shit they chuck over the top of it, and 99% of hackers jailbreak their consoles anyway because it allows you to open up the files and do what you would do with a pc, minus the operating system of course. Please, tell me about the various amounts of hacks you see on console games ported to PC? You don't, you see the same hacks, because it's the same game that only allows certain thing. You also clearly have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to hacking. ArmA II is setup so that you can inject scripts into the server, and tell it what to do. This is something that was built into the game to make it the awesome game it is. They could have never foreseen dayz and the mass hackers it brought with it. ArmA II was made for on the go mission editing (Trust me, I do it several nights a week), and to do that you need to 'hack' the sever. Scripting is, as I said, telling the server things, and it will believe everything you tell it. With most games, you cannot tell the server what to do, it is impossible, and that is what the standalone will be doing. Scripting will be 110% impossible. Hacking will not be impossible, it will eventually come along, but it'll be the same hacks you see in COD on Xbox, that's aimbots, wallhacks...etc. Stop flattering yourself and get a little more education on the subject before you start dribbling your console crap.

I use 3rd person not to look over walls, but because I enjoy 3rd person, and so does everyone else who plays ArmA II. Go join any server, and I bet 90% of players use 3rd person when moving around.
