Disabling respawn will be pretty moot. How far have you ever spawned away from some zombies? Honestly, cherno/elek just are too big and full of goodies compared to smaller towns. If items were better spread out people would flock there less (which also means less player hunters camping these places). fixed some spelling errors
Having struggled with performance my self, I can say that setting video memory to default, settings to normal/high except aa and draw distance ~1.5km as well as ramdisk gives great performance. However, arma is cpu and hdd limited as well as the odd fact that servers not running well will kill your fps regardless of your settings/setup. Try a different server that is well populated and restarts every 4 hours.
This game is a blast to play if you have the right mindset. A couple of imo to follow: Zombies need a little something extra. more numbers, more health... i dont know something. Dont get me wrong they are dangerous (one hit broken leg during a gunfight doh) Even though its a "survival" game pvp is where the fun is at. Sitting in the woods living off boar sounds pretty boring to me. Basically: I have no reason to live a long life (stats?) pvp = fun but 50 ghillie snipers in the treeline = not fun. Lower sniper drops? Zombies are too easy to avoid and lose in the cities. Need better building swarming capabilities and/or hits while running. small towns are worthless for loot Need a threat in woods Inventory keeps eating my guns! DC is stupid. I did it early on when losing my stuff made me butthurt but i see the light now. Die in a blaze of glory, much more fun plus the clutch moments. Disclaimer: I am pretty new and rarely last more than a day. I SoS if you are a threat or have something I want but i leave unarmed and axe guys alone. I usually sprint around cherno/elek gearing up engaging people then head out on some (short) adventure. Shout out to the survivor group I ran into at Balota airfield. I <3 akm
