I Like that there is PVP, I like that you need to be cautious of other people and that people will do anything to survive. its just a shame that people are getting gunned down on the shore immediately. half of the time this isn't even for supplies or because people perceive them as a threat. its just to grief. all things considered I love the mod, happy to be a part of the alpha. but for the moment I think some of us need to take a break while the griefers disperse until something new comes out

You need private military company my good sir :)

I agree with most of the OP's points except inventory. tin cans are useful now and most of the backpacks hold quite a bit. it would be nice to see the CDF (green camo?) backpack hold more then the defualt coyote though. I also agree with it being too easy to just survive by killing everyone you see. I can stay by the coast at night and shoot all the new people I see without fear of them returning fire.

Frankly I love the mod, and I like that there is mistrust. but as of now its really just turned into deathmatch with some zombies thrown in. hopefully with direct comm's installed this will be fixed. but right now its not even about zombies. You are rewarded a lot more by killing other players then sneaking through zombie infested towns.

would love to get confirmation on this :C

downloaded all 3 as well :( no go

I'm also having this issue :(. was near devils castle

I'll try to cover why I dont like first person a little better Reloading: instead of removing the magazine, grabbing another, inserting it, and pulling the charging handle (there are no wet/dry reloads). the first person view just moves the hand to the mag, magazine disappears, gun is brought out of view and shakes a bit and POOF fully loaded weapon. in third person you dont have to watch this process as much and in my case lets me assume it is done correctly. its purely aesthetic. Resident evil 5 had very well done 3rd person model reloading Movement: In arma 2 you move very...oddly. its very passable and isnt game breaking, but its not as fluid as other games (or real life). if you are in 3rd person it will seem less sticky. hard to explain sorry :'c weapons: none of the weapons in arma are held all that well in first person. most of them clip through your hands. things like fore grips and GL grips are not used entirely in some cases. you don't see this in 3rd person as much overall the only reason I use 3rd person is for aesthetic reasons. and while I appreciate that reload/weapon modeling is the same as the world model its just simply not as smooth as using other games methods. Red orchestra and BF have very good first person reloading animations. and passable world views. I frankly don't care to see my enemy reloading with complex animations if it costs me the fact that weapon modeling in first person is worse I apologize for the poor grammar :(

same here, some guy had a gun in "nowhere" and killed me :( this is really lame, I had good stuff

frankly I like that there is PVP. but not in this sense. the idea of not trusting people is one of the coolest things about the mod. what I would like to see is more punishment to shooting your fellow human beings. anyone know if we are supposed to be civilians or PMC's?

I only play on 3rd person servers, I understand why some people would like first person for pvp. but frankly arma in first person is more immersion breaking to me then 3rd person. the first person view has very awkward movement and possibly the worst reloading animations I've ever seen. I'd be happy if arma 3 has improved reload animations and more realistic fluid movement. but if it doesn't I'm sticking with 3rd person

depending on how sever the infection is (isolated or full on apocalypse), it would be neat to see some rare small group government kill team AI that would wonder the area killing everything. I'm more for the idea though that a military helicopter would spawn sometimes and crash, giving you a "investigate crash site". this would lead to many players converging on the site to get the loot the fastest. would create a nice tension too

I like the idea of a mountain bike. maybe give them some hurt parts, this creates a use for scrap metal and tires :)
