Ya, these things are in-game already. I wouldnt be so quick to judge things based on what you see on Youtube.

Gezz....a skateboard? I barely made it out with my life trying to navigate a hill on a bicycle. I could see the death rate going up if those are added.

Yup. Known bug. After you have done a repair on the vehicle (and not before), it will usually always repair itself after getting out/in. Assuming of coarse it didnt blow up completely.

Hmmm. With the video card and the sub 3Ghz CPU, i'm going to say the game will probably be borderline, if not completely, unplayable on that system. Cant hurt to try tho. Here is a basic rundown on the video cards preformance. http://www.notebookc...0G.71728.0.html Since that video card is pretty much exclusive to that CPU, im betting preformance in games will not be far off from frame rates shown on that website.

Hmmm, I searched "feign death" and didnt find anything. Maybe they got deleted? anyone have any thoughts on this?

Whadda ya think? Just roll over and fake being dead/unconcious. It may not fool a sharp player but could provide a way to survive situations you might normaly not make it out of. Doesnt work on z's of coarse, but in the heat of the moment a player may over look you if he/she knows there are others around or didnt have time to check the chatlog. Survived one encounter with bandits because I fell unconcious (low blood) near a few other dead survivors and they just passed right over me, chasing after another player that was making a run for it. Anyway, just throwing it out there, maybe something to concider for the standalone.

So he should be searching for dead threads and resurrecting those instead?

Good luck trying to hide one of those behind a tree.....

on a side note, maybe bleeding should also attract zeds to a degree

Ya, that does seem like a great idea. Aggro should only happen with direct line of sight. You could definatly increase thier hearing after. You will know after firing a few shots, you might be safe for bit, but hang around the area too long and you will find area crawling with zeds.

I read elsewhere on the forum that the sight is way off when zoomed. Try joining a server with crosshairs turned on and try you luck with that. I found a could hit targets 30-50 feet out with out much trouble using only the CH.

I cant explain why you were kicked or why u lost so much health, but if you log out "in shock" (which as i understand lasts a while after being injured/shot, and is somewhat buggy), you will log back in unconcious for upto 5 mins.

Hellz ya! Screew Dayz, lets go play some COD. **sarcasm**

LOL. Why did I get sucked into this stupid troll thread, Im out.

Maybe its best to point people to the right place to complain about hackers in arma2. http://www.battleye.com http://www.arma2.com lts honestly thier right to complain if they wish. With that said, I've never encountered a hacker in my 10+ years of playing Battlefield games (punkbuster). Im not saying they dont exist in BF, but the rareness of them shows the effort they put into it. Battlefield is more popular franchise btw, where u would expect just by numbers, to see more hackers. Yet I see some traces of hackers on a weekly basis here. You are right however, the basic design of the arma2 engine does make it difficult to stomp out hacking. Allot of work is done client-side, its really the only way to go with such a large game world. Im sure there are many competent people out there that would be willing to donate thier own time to the team, searching logs or whatever, in order to make the community a better place. There wont be much a community if people are continue to leave because of hacking. Its not even the small time hackers that bother me. Allot of them are just hacking to make the game a bit easier or more enjoyable to themselves, with no intent to bother anyone else. Its the malishious hackers that are pissing people off. Honestly now, the bad hackers should be very easy to root out and some effort should be made. They make themselves pretty obvious and it shouldnt be too hard to pick them out from the logs. Just find the guys nuking servers and such, I could care less about the guy who wants to hack a 'legit' gun into their hands and then play normaly with it, or even help others out. But something really has to be done about people who are just out there to grief and not even play/test the mod.
