No such thing as the "best" weapons. Different weapons for different purposes. I guess if you are looking at it from an FPS standpoint then sure there are tiers when it comes to damage, rounds per minute, ballistic range, etc.

What else do you expect from someone with a lack of experience in game developing?

You're clever. Agave. Tequila. We should game sometime. I'll probably kill you after you seem shady but that is the way of the road.

The bean count is weak with this one

Don't give this guy shit for starting a thread about him changing his play style. It is relevant. There is literally no reason for anyone to help anyone else in this game unless you are friends out of game. The most rewarding experience in this game comes from shooting everyone you don't know. Everyone dies in this game, so who cares what you do?

I can't agree more with the OP. I know that feel. I think. Why should I act all kind and friendly like I would in real life? Having a fun, friendly experience in this game requires mega meta-gaming. MMG if you will. Thats whack with a community of this size. I understand it is Alpha...but until they fix this then I'm not going out of my way to help any of you all. If I'm hungry for beans, there will be blood.

They want attention. Don't give it to them obviously.

I have a question for you all. Does the amount of loot in my inventory + backpack affect my walking, crawling, running speed? If not...then should it? My opinion is yes but only to a certain extent. We don't want to discourage people from carrying a lot of loot but it would be nice to have the option to sacrifice less loot for a little more speed. I don't know many games that have this implemented. Do you know any that do? How does it affect gameplay?

http://www.tacticalgamer.com/armed-assault/148235-performance-ssd-arma-2-a.html A lot of you always ask "What video card should I upgrade to" which is fine. However, you should know that performance in this game (Not FPS) can be very limited by what kind of hard-drive you have. Here is a video showing the difference in stuttering between a 7200RPM and 10k RPM hard-drive. There is probably more to it than just read speed though. I'm still researching it. Point is...don't splurge and put 2/3rds of your cash into the video card. Go for balance with your budget because in this game...your video card can be very much bottlenecked by your hard-drive! The textures are huge in this game!

Here is a tutorial for Dayz and RAMDISK. I wish I could afford an SSD right now but I guess I'll give this a shot today!

It doesn't have to make sense. It is the developers choice. It could be implemented into the game and it could work too. Some bandits would like to be known as Bandits. Customized clothes to show this would be an interesting addition. It should be choice if anything.

Freudian slip?

Why should he benefit directly? He didn't have any part in developing ARMA II. I can see DayZ going down the same route as Garrys Mod. Not Minecraft.

If you are going to spend a bunch of money on a headset....Don't. The construction is almost always lacking. I say get some DJ/Studio headphones (They are built to last over a decade) and a seperate microphone. You can also use them to listen to music outside of your desk area without looking like a fool. I use Audio-Technicas ATH-M50s personally. I recommend them but there is a lot of good stuff out there.

Tired of seeing these threads with nothing to discuss other than "I h8 ppl who disconnect". How about we have a "Bulletin Board" sub-section for threads like these? A meta-gaming section would be great!

I found one in a helicopter crash. Still using it. I'm not a fan of the Red Dot scopes but it is a nice rifle. Great rate of fire, ammo isn't too uncommon. Loud as hell though!

Absolutely!

I have to bump this idea. I just thought about this while writing about what happened to me in the game on my blog. I thought it would be very cool to have a camera option. Even finding it as an item would be great. I know it might be a little much to ask but maybe they could team up with the company Instagram. The first game to work with a photo website! Different filters = Different cameras. Just an idea.

Q: The Gear/Inventory Menu is a big part of this game. Have you considered in the past or plan to implement a weight system that would vary change in speed in correlation with amount of gear?

First I'd like to say your signature has an awesome quote in it. :D I agree with your points! I personally think it would make survival more fun and make the incentive to find vehicles! How many of us are guilty of hording? I have like 8 meat steaks in my back pack + 8 cans of food plus obscene amounts of gear I rarely use. The downside to this is that it would make travelling these HUGE maps much more of a chore/grind. It is already pretty tough to make long treks. Maybe if there would more cars/bikes in the game then it could balance out.

Why do you think it should? Just for the sake of discussion :)

We don't get empty tins after consuming beans so I always thought we just ate the entire can without opening it. IRON IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!

Well I think that mode should exist. I would like to play in an extremely difficult mode without backpacks, stamina, etc. Also a weight system should be in place. More loot? Less speed.

You have a terrible way of polishing ideas. A short time limit would prevent that from happening. Only letting this option occur every 15 minutes would prevent it from being abused. Why not just avoid this thread if you don't know how to help in a constructive way? You're just making a fool out of yourself bro. Everyone is watching you, you look SO ridiculous right now.

That is one-sided and still requires an agreement between both players via Direct chat. This idea has merit and if polished it could be a quick way of establishing communication between two friendly people. I don't think prevent people from shooting each other is a great idea but a way for both players to feel more comfortable is needed. I'm reluctant to meet anyone with just their rifle pointed 2 feet away from my face.
