From what Rocket has said they are going to be using a combination of the current arma 2 engine and the new one for arma 3 for the standalone, taking what works from the old and using new features from the new. If you get a chance check out the reddit AMA thread, has some pretty informative information on the direction they are headed.

Wow that's pretty cool, amazing job by BI capturing the likeness.

It's going to be a combination of this engine and the next iteration, we are still testing the general premise of the mod/game, and how new features work in gameplay rather then code.

Nightime scares the shit out of me, wish people would stop changing the server time when dusk hits, so very fun scrambling around through the night. Just need to make sure you wear your already marked up trousers.

I don't think the game needs currency, the value of items is highly fluid based upon what you have. You might be a fresh spawn who would trade all your survival tools(matches knife compass w/e) for a weapon for defense, or you might be a well geared NWAF farmer who never found matches and would trade something normally of far higher value for them because he's in dire need of health and can't cook his food. Think up whatever scenario you want, but an items worth in a world without a ready supply of it will be pretty subjective based upon your need, rather then some perceived currency who's value people try to set. When the world ends who is to say my beans are less valuable then your AS50 when you're starving to death(except for you when you shoot me in the face but that's another issue there).

Not a fan of sidechat, takes any immersion and throws it out the window. I would however be in favor of the rare radio idea, and maybe some stationary broadcast towers with radio equipment inside. or maybe just like listen only for radios and some preset broadcast messages that players can send out from the radio tower so we dont have to listen to some idiot blaring music. Could be simple like "Need assistance at location" or "Warning bandits at this location stay away" with maybe the option to set them on loop, even bandits could enjoy them to lure people into a trap promising aid, or asking for it.

280 ping is pretty high, it sucks but it's a risk you take when you play on a server outside your region, nobody really like trying to shoot someone who is lagging.

I killed a bandit at 2500 and stayed there so...assuming it's just a rumor for now, unless it only works at lower humanity levels.

night time? I was on server when they were banned, and the time in the video is right... Edit: and I certainly did not hear a helicopter flying near me(I was in the forest to the south when they were banned on my way to the colony)

Would have looked better, and people might actually buy them, I myself have been looking for a black shirt with the DayZ logo on it.

After several attempts to approach and being murdered I've just about given up, you guys seem to have no control over the area, bandits are running wild(unless its your teams who are killing me which I would hope not...).

No, i was civi cloths with an M16.

AS50 from the bushes, can only remember being killed by another weapon like once this past week(was hunting this bandit sniper and some fresh spawn ran up and shot me in the head with a makarov lol).

Sandbags and Barbed wire are amazing, they add so many options for players organized or not. Sure it can be annoying to walk into your favorite spawn spot and find some wire blocking you, but that is the whole point, people are working against you, might as well just take out guns because you keep getting shot(extreme example but still). More options to alter your gameworld are always good.

That would be pretty cool, but I can't see them doing it until standalone.

That chart is way off after the latest Arma update though, most the damage was lowered, hopefully we will see infected and player health reduced soon to compensate. Edit: Although taking more hits to kill the infected does make it abit more tense, hard to complain about that.

Yea it seems the ammo tracking is working now, which is great, now only hackers will have infinite AS50 ammo instead of every jerkface who logs off after a few shots.

Just happened to US196 on 1.7.2.5, guessing its just battle eye.

The only person I've killed with a crossbow was a 1 shot to the head while he was crawling toward balota. pretty sure it's more then 3k to the head.

US196 6:38pm CDT Not sure if he got everyone or just me, bumped into someone out in a field while following a treeline, no shots were fired so I was trying to prone in slowly to attempt contact and try to find out if they were friendly, after a few minutes of approaching them I started being lifted off the ground and got a message something like "Would you recognize me if i lifed you to heaven?"(or something silly). proceeded to alt-f4 as its the only real defense legit players have atm. Then the message was changed to like "naw i disabled the alt-f4 function" and i was killed, then my game went into shutdown.

reporting another instance today, 8:54pm CST got turned into a dog, guy is standing next to me but no nametags.

I just saw that also, right before I got domed in cherno. :o

There's nothing to take back at the moment, the fort was leveled by satchel charges.

US196 10:15pm CDT Hacker is teleporting around in a ural picking up people and teleporting off to the next person, hopefully one of the CQF ppl will see this and you can ban them, couldn't see their name though, seemed to be atleast 3 people in the back, i jumped in and was teleported around and managed to bail out around NWAF i think.

awesome, now i am a cow in the ocean because I didn't want to get back in.
