I usually just KOS now. I used to ask if friendly all the time. It's funny because I had literally asked if someone I saw at Balota was friendly just 30 minutes ago. I was in a good mood. I had the chance to kill him multiple times, he kept asking if I was friendly over and over again which seemed odd since the only reason he started talking on mic was because I asked first so I knew he heard me the first time. I was inside one of the tall military housing buildings near the hangars on the top floor, ended up shooting me in the head killing me instantly through the window from ground level on the outside as I was looting something. That was after days and days of terrible sessions where game glitches and lag ended up killing me multiple times after I had gotten all the gear I could have wanted. One of them I spent 2 and a half hours walking from the eastern part of the map to the other side on accident because of newly added roads which got me lost. Now it's either KOS if I have the chance or give them fair warning to stay away

"ArmA 2 is shit, DayZ is amazing" I've been seeing this type of message everywhere lately. On these forums, YouTube and BIS forums. Really guys? Give some respect to the game that makes DayZ...Well, DayZ. Without ArmA 2, DayZ would just be another typical zombie shooter. Seriously get rid of this mindset. Give some respect to BIS for creating an amazing series since OFP and give some respect to the game itself for making the mod so awesome. I don't care if you just bought ArmA 2 for DayZ, that's your money you can waste it however you please but calling the game that makes DayZ actually good terrible is just low. No disrespect to Rocket and the team. Just getting sick of all these people.

Well that's the thing' date=' the idea isn't new. There's tons of zombie mods available for ArmA 2, ArmA and OFP. I still to this day do not understand how DayZ got to popular so quickly. I'd suggest browsing http://www.armaholic.com Home to tons of addons for ArmA 2, ArmA and OFP. There's not much I can suggest myself. I haven't actually modded ArmA 2 for a long time.

Okay' date=' tell me what do you like about DayZ. Maybe I should point you in the direction of other zombie mods for ArmA 2. I'm sure they'll be better too without riding on ArmA 2's back. I mean I'm SO sure DayZ would be amazing without the large maps, collection of weapons, vehicles, player models, buildings, simulated weather, physics, night and day cycle, simulated ballistics, simulated wind that affects bullets, trees, grass, etc...I want you to tell me what DayZ is, in a nutshell. What does DayZ contain? Let me lay it out for you. Okay, what you generally have in DayZ is, mission scripts, UI scripts, a few custom zombie/melee animations, some custom object models, custom zombie sounds, custom soundtracks, hrm... What else is there? Can you name something that DayZ NEEDS from ArmA 2 to make it as interactive and hardcore as it is now? Oh wait, hold on I can answer that for you. It's ArmA 2. DayZ NEEDS ArmA 2 to be as good as it is now. Trust me, it's not like that. Go into any Warfare server and you can do whatever you want. Take an F-35, fly around and shoot Russians. Nobody will tell you anything to do. Unless you're playing on a hardcore ACE server...Yeah that's a different story.

I find these posts every now and then. The place where they're pretty much everywhere in on Youtube. Find any popular DayZ video and you're bound to find them somewhere in the giant clusterfuck of comments.

Inventory priorities of ArmA 2. Drop or store in your bag what you don't need. Take what you must. It's not a bug.

I don't smoke but my character in APB smokes. Why you ask? Because I can. Seriously what's the harm? Whether it looks cool or absolutely disgusts you. Sometimes those little details can greatly improve a mod or a game. It's just immersive. As for the pros and cons... Eh, I don't know. I think it would be better if it was just for looks but that is just my opinion.

To OP, these changes are possible but it's more work than it's worth. Trust me. I don't see this ever happening.

I wish everybody was like you. Civilized and sophisticated. Hopefully Rocket will see your post. Very good argument.

And this is why newbies need to explore the game more. Most of the buildings on every island are destructible. It's been this way since the original Operation Flashpoint. The reason the building crumbled when you threw a smoke grenade at it is because of an old collision glitch. When smoke grenades collide with buildings it sometimes causes a large amount of damage to the building causing it to fall.

There is a melee system in some mods but it's extremely choppy and useless. Are you really going to try and punch your way through 10 zombies? I can guarantee you melee won't happen in DayZ.

Sound mods don't usually impact server ping. Don't see why they would be not allowed.

They aren't idiots, they are correct. It's not a bug.

Does the add-on work with the DayZ mod, and can I turn it off for auto-fire/actual firefights? No. It has to be included with the mod.

I can't remember if you were able to import 3ds into Oxygen. Only used it for a month or so a couple years ago. Oxygen is the default "addon" modeler for all BI developed games and I'm pretty sure the only way to create models for OFP, ArmA and ArmA 2.

Christ guys, losing your gear in the water is PART OF THE GAME. It's an old feature. You can't TAKE. IT. OFF. You don't even have to swim in the water to fill up your water bottle. Move into the ocean/lake/river till it goes up to your knees, aim at the water, open action menu, fill water bottle.

That might help a bit to at least have some feel of direction' date=' but the towns are scattered over the map so it will still be pitch black everywhere in between. It probably also takes up a lot of resources to light up every town on a server. [/quote']The lights would cause stress if they were an addon but they're not. They're part of the game by default. It won't cause any stress.

Gotta love the people who don't fully know about ArmA 2's physics engine. You run down a cliff, you'll go airborne. Plain and simple.

That's really fucked up to be honest. If I see anybody doing that on the coast I'm picking you off from the mountain tops with my M40A5. No regrets.

If you really want to practice sniping, use the editor. Place yourself on the highest mountain on Chernarus and place a group of enemies at the bottom. Different scenarios, maybe 500m down the road sniping 2 moving targets. Stuff like that. There is bullet drop on every weapon. Rifles, pistols, anti-vehicle rocket launchers, etc.. Some of you new guys need to remember, ArmA 2 ISN'T a zombie simulator. It's a military simulator. Learn what the game really is about, play through the entire campaign and just learn all the features.
