But with Fallout you still have NPCs in exchange for human players which is almost the same just calculable. You can basically do everything you want within the limits of DayZ. Just wait for the standalone then you maybe can set up a private server provided they add the tools, play on it and get bored...

It keeps the bones from moving and causing more pain, but you are far away from beeing able to stand on it let alone walk. Yo still need a crutch and would normally not be in a fighting condition, you would just want to be left alone in a corner.

My first priority would be food supplies and not a vest that i can't eat. I dare to say there would be tons of people trying to carry away their cash and gold instead when something like DayZ happens... If i had a gun that would come before the food but that's about it. Luxury comes later...thinking of a vest and super fancy sniper rifles in the first seconds is more a gamers wet dream than a survivors nightmare.

If people really want military stuff they should play vanilla...if the vest would be added it would be a duped item like the "rare" AS 50 ( TWS ) which is more common than the AKM atm. I wouldn't mind having it in the game, but everything that adds a huge advantage sometime or often has it's disadvantes too which is not replicated by the game ( like the weight and encumbrance that comes with hauling around heavy weapons and gear ). You can still go one man army and get away with it. The only disadvantage would be the need for bloodbags with is negated by meat already.

BIS and flawless campaigns...if you knew BIS you wouldn't ask...

Aim for the head...aim for the head... But you would still need to implement an encumbrance system where a lot of bullet proof users would whine about because they can't move "as fast as they should". Any survivor who is still right in his head wouldn't bother using that anyway. Maybe a kevlarvest because it is a bit more comfortable. I tried and old police vest and a PASGT vest and they are really not comfortable and i wouldn't wear them for a longer period of time because it wouldn't be a priority for me in DayZ. And as stated above you would still get hurt when hit, even soldiers wearing heavy body armor still get bruises or broken ribs when hit by an armor piercing round that is stopped, the force has to go somewhere.

If you are low on money i wouldn't buy a laptop because it's at least 10-20% more expensive and in most cases not capable of running the game with enough details and fps. My worst guess is that you need about 500€ to have a system that runs at minimum settings and max. 20fps. But don't do that because you buy twice.

You know there is no real time map creator in ArmA 2???

In ancient times...ok even in modern times rivers are obstacles to almost everyone, if not nobody would have invented the bridge...actually nobody would jump into a river with a strong current so the boat / raft idea makes sense. Just too bad that the waters in ArmA 2 have no current and are not dangerous. maybe reintroducing having to "drop your equipment in order not to drown" will make players think twice about swimming 1km across the ocean with 50kg of equipment ( yes, that's the weight of a backpack full with ammo and a second primary ) instead of taking a walk 5km around on land.

Graveyard please? :D

Hope dies last but with the given time i doubt he will be able to make it and the engine might limit him to animations only because as stated in other threads ArmA 2 wasn't developed with melee in mind. Yes and that's why people don't like 1st person...someone funny because in every shooter you get the thrill because you never know what might lie behind the next corner...Nausea is also caused by headbob but some also experience some even with headbob turned off. After 2 hours of playing especially with TrackIR it gets to you slowly, the cause is because not only is your head somewhat bad to move but you can't move your eyes like IRL to compensate the movement I wonder if i used the Sony personal 2d viewer if it would change...but that thing is just too expensive ( 1000€ in Germany compared to max. 800$ in the States ) for me just to play ArmA 2 with it and it only has 720p.

Yep, players have to actually fear to get wounded in a time where you can't just go to a hospital and wait to get some medical treatment because there is NONE!!!!!! That's one of the things what makes apocalypses are so feared and dangerous because there is no more system that can help you. Ergo people work with eachother instead of killing eachother for just beeing present or more the weapon they are holding in their hands. The fear of injury actually let's opponents hold back in most cases. Not every scene ends like in the hollywood apocalypse movies f.e. "The Book of Eli".

They could "widen" the area of effect on the melee weapons to compensate.

I still do it all the time with the 1911 and the revolver ( if i use it )...

I don't know what's wrong with some players...a lot claim they can still 1 shot a Zed in the chest with a 1911 or the revolver. The 9mm takes 3-4 hits to the chest. I happen to be one of them who needs only 1 shot and we all play with the same version... I would take the 1911 because it's the 1911 :D

Next come reflex boosters and smartlink?

I think with the waypoints activated there is a reason why players want the in game map...although some people can move around using the offline map but with the switching to desktop or having to use another device it can be a bit annoying.

People like us have must something in common :D

Solution...we should only have ground based vehicles...It's fun to fly and all but in survival you should have other priorities than sightseeing in a chopper. If you really want to fly that bad you don't need the mod. Vanilla has a lot of air vehicles

This one is better

An option always has the possibility of people feeling "cheated" if they play 1st person and get killed by a 3rd person player. So if anything only forced...at least on foot. It would make things easier for people to maneuver vehicles if they had 3rd person for that, on the other hand i don't really need that either. But it's true that the game engine cant handle the perspective well and therefor causes nausea which is the only cause why people dislike 1st person.

Maps and watches are pretty common, it's nice to have more spawns for common items than ammo and weapons. I would even expect less to no ammo at residentials.

If common sense applies to you you should know the answer...

But you can still open it without the knife. I personally don't need a can opener, i eat the whole damn thing. :D

This is either still buggy or i pressed the wrong buttons, when i hug the wall i can't get away...and some actions don't work ( like the combat roll ).
