I'm all for the diseases in the game. Though it has to be added that if your going to expand the need for that many antibiotics/vaccines guns.. and vehicle parts, and every other type of item you may wish to add. It may be necessary to expand the world map by an extremely large amount and increase the amount of players proportionally. Because unless the loot table is greatly modified chances are many problems are going to arise, in which obtaining the wrong antibiotic would be next to useless and obtaining the correct one before the disease actually brings you to death door would become next to impossible. Adding such difficulties may encourage/discourage player trading hubs though to trade antibiotics with each other, and i am actually a supporter of those, but larger more stable player bases would become a necessity. Though according to rocket such an increase of players may be possible. In other words we need larger maps with bigger more complex hospitals if such a plan is going to work, because if antibiotics become even more wanted hospitals + bandits = very bad stuff. Though, i support in making a threat even the bandits fear. Is that body that i'm going to loot infected?.... yeah, give pk's something more to fear, and if the bodies are out for a longer amount of time a higher chance of infection..

A seagate momentus XT.. is a good hard drive. Got, one recently, and the loading for Arma became way faster than it was when I had the old 5400 hard drive. SSD's are too expensive at the moment, so make sure your other areas are covered before trying to get a SSD. Law of diminishing returns.. tends to apply. I also suggest getting a water cooler.. That way you may overclock your cpu... gpu.. later on. Though i only suggest it if you are comfortable with such mods.

Well.. the more I think about it it may be possible that most of the custom map makers may be waiting for the actual architectural code. No use making something new if you don't know if it may run, but i'm all for making a open source asset bank where devs/modders work together and share work and experience. Should the server truly be able to support 1000's of players it may be necessary to obtain a subscription. This subscription may allow for a constant expanding map with fully committed developers. You cant expect the world to be free, and for that world to come out in a quick time frame. Dayz devs focus on the bugs and issues that are bound to arrive, map devs focus on the world map,everyone earns beans and is happy. If they work together even more beans for everyone :) . Will there be free custom maps of course.. though remember they are being made on free time.. Free time these days is on a premium. And to people who don't want to pay subscription, i ask how much do you pay for entertainment for an hour.. movies.. etc. ? But that's just me.. should the world building aspect of this game ever be created and even come close to its older brother.. (you know who i'm talking about) the only thing that will hold people back is server power.

Right now, I bet rocket is working on the overall structure of the game. Adding new maps is like adding a new bathroom to a house that hasn't even got the plumbing working yet. Though it would be nice to see other areas opening up. Some people have mastered the map to the point seeing a landmark and the sun would give the direction they need for the airfield. Heck there are stream hunters that hunt people who are streaming live. Right now, we have to wait but if there is a group of modders that would like to assist in the creation of a larger more explorable city, i don't think anyone would complain. But considering this may be ported over to arma 3 things would be weird. If an entire city was created and unable to be ported to it.

I agree with this suggestion. It would add a scouting element to the game, right now somebody would be able to run around the area without caring if they knew zombie spawns were unlikely. With hordes, they have to scout. If they are planning to kill somebody they have to scout or risk alerting your friendly neighborhood horde o doom.

Humanity based respawn. That way, if an accidental bandit wouldn't be as affected as a bandit by nature. Though it also has to be added that bandits that give other bandits assistence would not gain humanity. This way, we can avoid bandit groups screwing with the system by helping each other, becoming survivors and once again shooting people. The extra time given to the humane players would allow them to gear up enough fight back against the bandits. It's an alpha, there is going to be some experimentation, but something we all agree with is that we don't want this to become COD.

Well the whinny has become a lot less useful. I was ok with the damage reduction.. i agree with it.. the sound that it now has is insane. Sure it needed a sound nerff.. but bringing in a entire city should only be given to sniper rifles for obvious reasons.

Couldn't be the Ati cards. the Nvidia cards are also experiencing the problems. The hotfix itself must have a bug that is affecting the gameplay. Oddly enough.. i wasn't affected as horribly yesterday (when the update came, as i am affected today.) Which makes me believe is more of a server problem.

I believe i had the safe issue. Turns out sometimes you need to copy the files in the addons folder from the orignal Addon folder of Arma 2, and you add them to the Addon folder of Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead exaxt location below from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\AddOns To C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\AddOns this is what helped me and i hope it helps you
