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

My friend and I once stalked a group of 5 starting from south of Stary for about 2 and a half hours, and they had no idea we were their the whole time. We followed them for atleast 2 hours while they looted stary, headed south west and set up a camp fire and hunted animals, then looted Vybor, and then to the airfield. We killed all 5 of them with only 5 shots from 600m away. Don't go mental at me because they did nothing too me. We didn't KOS, we let them live when we found them, and we took them out with precision. I feel like that's how the game is meant to be played. Not you just seeing someone and spraying because you're scared. I also had an incident on a private hive about a week ago, where some guy knew I had top tier gear, and he said he was coming for me in a light hearted way. I didn't want to take any chances though, and again, I found him entering stary, and followed him until the Airfield again, and took him out. That one was about 1 and a half hours, and I was by myself. Stalking people at night time is one of the most intense things you can do, especially when you don't have NVG's

When I used to watch 'qnomnikai' he did 24 hour streams sometimes, where he'd just play dayz for 24 hours with a small break every few hours.

I think you underestimate just how much of an image and icon Heinz beans are in DayZ. Have you seen a single dayz cosplay costume that doesn't involve heinz? Have you seen a single real life dayz youtube video that doesn't have heinz in it? How about people that have been to chernarus IRL? All of them have cans of heinz in the pictures. Notice the forum? "You have my beans!" button with the can of heinz next to it? This is a missed opportunity by Heinz. What will Fraggle base his profile picture off now? It won't ever be the same!

FrankieonPCin1080p is playing on this server for his next video.

I think we can live without pepsi and coke, but Heinz has become a symbol in DayZ. DayZ just isn't DayZ without Heinz

Top right near guba. It's toned down a little now, and people are a little more creative with their camp spots, but a few months ago, you'd never be disappointed if you went there.

This is kind of excessive bumping don't you think?

I wish there were more of these. I don't want 500 vehicles and 30 helicopters. If I wanted that many vehicles in an open world game, I'd be playing wasteland, because that's effectively what the game becomes. Vehicles shorten the games life in opinion. Everything can be done in such a short time, it's too easy.

This right here. Giving your friend your CD key would be a fair amount of trouble to go through, and I see no reason why he wouldn't just buy the game himself. Sounds to me like you got one banned, and you need to buy a new one. If not then this is the weirdest set of circumstances I've seen here.

This is the case for almost any open world game ever made. It makes sense that your frame rate is less in a city with lots of buildings and cars and zombies, than in a field where there is only grass. You're not the only one, so don't worry. Frame rates will always be lower in cities, no matter how much optimizing they do, all they can do is decrease the difference between cities and fields, which I'm sure they will try their hardest to do.
