Aim for the head, young padawan.

Nope.

Clearly people need to learn the meaning of the word "exploiting". Cycling loot isn't as easy as you seem to think, and it sure as hell isn't equivilant to duping -- try locking down the most hostile place on the map for longer than 30 minutes. It's a tactical, well-planned and risky strategy.

Recycling loot? Nope.

Banditry and farming (the real farming -- loot cycling) aren't "problems", they're tactics.

To answer the initial question -- ARMA 2 just doesn't run smoothly.

ARMA 2 is more CPU intensive than GPU intensive -- I'm running two overclocked GTX580s and they always hover around 15 - 30% load (pulling 40-60fps). That being said, so does my 2600k. You could (if you're THAT desperate) overclock your CPU and maybe invest in an SSD. It will probably only get you another 5 frames per second if you're lucky. Your best bet is to (if you haven't already) set some launch parametres to enable the game to use more RAM, VRAM and CPU cores. Apart from that, there's nothing more you can do -- you've pretty much got to accept that you're not going to pull a constant 60fps in this game; It's just that poorly optimised. Also, how many frames are you getting at the moment? Note: The frame rate issues should be fixed in the standalone.

You need to install both Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead.

Yes, you can get it without buying it, but you can't play DayZ that way.

You were dropped at birth?

You don't.

Despite what everyone seems to be saying, hidden places do exist -- you just have to look. Our camp's been undetected on a stacked server since we pitched it over 3 months ago.

Gimmie some of those "canada goose pandora rings"!

The latest BattlEye update has increased hacking difficulty, albeit not beyond the hackers' capabilities.

Shouldn't have injected that .dll, my friend.
