Everything looks great except the GPU, you will get better FPS with a brick.

You wanna talk about realism, OP? Go to a post-Soviet state and tell me how many AS50s and M107s you find there. Then explain why they shouldn't be removed: they are too easy to use. You find it, point it at anyone, anywhere, any range, click, boom! Dead. It gets very aggravating actually trying to play the game properly: Scavenging for whatever you can find, only having 1 magazine for your gun, evading zombies everywhere, just to be sniped by someone sitting on a mountain with an overpowered point-and-click death stick. Also, you are being very selfish. Basically, you are saying: 'Oh, well you've just started playing the game? dont be such a fcuking noob learn to hide beind things dont go in the open fag retard...' If someone has just started playing, they can never learn to play properly getting raped by people sitting motionless with an AS50 / M107.

Right click on the backpack and then click the arrow that is in the top left hand corner, that will transfer the item over to your inventory and vice versa. Be careful, like everyone said, putting too bigger items in small backpacks will eat it.

The CPU is way too weak. I don't think you can, you can't change a GPU that is intergrated. If you can go for the 680, keep it, otherwise the 7870 is about half price and is pretty damn good I hear. 40+ on max settings. An average of thirty??? My DESKTOP had a 4000 series GPU and ran under 20 frames most of the time. He said he's playing on a laptop, I doubt he will get anymore FPS than ~15. Everything on low.

2/5 times I get kicked for high ping. I try to choose the servers with the lowest and they are happy with me. I always thought the closer you are to the host the lower your ping will be. Or does it have to do with how fast my internet is? Because if that is it, there is a chance I may be fucked. Thanks

No problem, 30 - 40 FPS on high.

True, but alot of them are made like 'I've had it with these shit guns, f*ck this game i hate you fags play it its gay'. At least this guys negotiable.

No chance, if there was it would be at negative 50 frames. 1.6GHz is way too slow, and the GPU is too slow. A desktop is the way to go.

You'll be able to run it fine, 30+ FPS on normal - high. Uprgade your OS to Windows 7, otherwise make sure you AA, Post processing effects etc turned off.

...what?

The GPU is very weak but other than that, the only thing you might want to upgrade is the RAM to 8GB. You should get <~20 with that build.

You'll be fine, 30+ on high. You'll be lucky to play Minesweeper on that. If you do manage to run ArmA, it'll be very slow. Like, very slow. If you're budget is between $1000 - $1200 I strongly reccomend getting a desktop. Laptops suck balls when it comes to this game, they're just not strong enough. You'll easily be able to get a good rig with that amount of $$$. Most likely very slowly, I would suggest more than 3.0GHz for ArmA, laptops just wont cut it.

i think there should be something you have to do beforehand to fly a helicopter, ie: A helicopter manual you can find and then have to read, then that will let you fly a helicopter. Maybe there could be different copies, the more you read, the more responsive and easier it is to fly.

Yeep, remove the .50s and make the others (DMR, M24 etc) harder to find. There needs to be more civilian weapons. - .22 rifle - .243 rifle - .308 rifle - Double barrel shotgun - Sawn offf shotgun - Single barrel shotgun - More lever action rifles

Heres my other hardware: Intel Core i5 3570k ASRock Z77M Nvidia 650 1GB 8GB RAM 1TB HDD Windows 7 64bit 750w PSU Also, I'm looking to upgrade the GPU, what would be better, a 7850 or a 7870? I was thinking the 7870, but after hearing the 7850 can give you ~40+ FPS for a lower price, I was considering it.

First page! yay! How well does a 650 1Gb run ArmA II?

Not just cars and bicycles, we need lots more. And no, I'm not a whinging little 9 year old who gives up on DayZ when he can't find any vehicles, I mean more vehicles and less petrol / parts for them. It would make more sense too, as soon as the apocalypse started, people stocked up on fuel and left, their vehicles didn't. Heres a list of things off the top of my head. Dirt Bike (Found in houses and on countryside buildings) Moped SEGWAYS Cement Mixer (Found in cities, could be used to help build bases?) Trucks (Found in cities, trailers can be attached and have loads of inventory space.) Van Minibus Forklift Station wagon Trams Excavator Bobcat (You could use these digging vehicles to make traps...?) Dump truck Water vehicles: Fishing boat Tug boat Yacht Kayak / Conoe Air Boat - I think thats what they're called, the ones with the big fan on the back. Louisana rednecks have them. Air Vehicles: Cessna Some houses could have garages left open with damaged cars inside or fuel tanks that can be scavenged, others could be locked and need to accessed a different way. You could also use different parts for different vehicles too, like a bicycle tyre on a motorbike, however it will break very quickly so it would only be useful if you desperately needed to go somewhere. And if you want to be really annoying, you could add 2 types of fuel. Diesel and Unleaded. A ute might need diesel and won't work with unleaded fuel.

I like what Terminal Boy said. Depending on the round and range, you should still be able to cripple / kill zombies, with a large caliber bullet and a strong weapon.

I like the idea of leaving a big mess if you give yourself a blood tranfusion, and also the crossbow damage increase.

Should having a wrench or something like that be necessary for removing tires and stuff like that? Also there should be some kind of car repair shop, it would have some tires and other vehicle items like that. There needs to be more variety of buildings in the cities, not just apartments and random buildings.

Thanks for the replies guys! I've added a couple more suggestions too.

Selling your computer might get you $20. You could build a pretty good computer for ~$1000.

I figured it'd add to the world, tin cans and toilet paper are useless(ish) but it just adds to the immersion.

Yeaahh, a couple of bucks won't get you very far. Good processors are around ~$200 - $300, and good graphics cards are around ~$200 - $400. You would need at least 3.0GHz of CPU speed to run ArmA relatively smooth and GPUs should be somewhere around 7850+ for Radeon or 660+ for Nvidia cards.
