Too bad my father is too old and too invalid to play games, but gonna introduce my son to gaming as soon as he crawls out of her mother.

Nothing against you personally, but it gets me every time when people here says "this is what I would do in a "real" zombie apocalypse". There's no way actually knowing, who could survive something like that, but video games aren't something that train you for it. Just being realistic, my guess is that 90% of gamer's, will not be around to tell the tales of a real zombie apocalypse. Have you ever really killed someone? Heard that even an accident can mess you really bad. Shooting pixels is easy, shooting someone who is looking you in the eyes, is a whole different scenario. No need to answer, just my opinions. But... enough about that, lets just enjoy the game playing it the way we enjoy.

Have you considered that in real zombie apocalypse you might be the first ones to bite the dust? no respawns.

Same for me, except I dont shoot even bandits on sight, only wookies with scoped rifles. And I'm no hero, if I need to kill someone to survive, I will do it, even if its just for beans to satisfy my bleeding hunger.

Upgrade might be what you need, new motherboard, cpu and memory, if you plan on pc gaming, getting new cpu for that old motherboard, would be just postponing inevitable. And your cpu socket is lga775? I would not get new cpu on that. And would be wise to just go with ddr3.

I'm getting 7.1 headset for this reason. I'm little annoyed by the zombies, with my current headset, theres no telling where they are. Sure its lame that have to upgrade, but I think better headset can be worth it for the future games too. Screen indications, that are in every other shooter, are what I do not wish for.

NVG and scopes should not be able to use together. And if night vision scope would be attachment, it should only be 4x scope at max, or maybe even just 1x like we had in the army. Dont know if there even is a long range night vision scope.

Best DayZ video I've seen :D

This thread is full of win. Lootz are just bits and bytes, pixels in your screen, line of code. If I want to play for lootz, I play WOW. If I want to play deathmatch with zombies, I play Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. And alt + f4 is for pussies, same as kill on sight, neither requires any effort on your behalf.

Bandits should get this http://shanesalta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/LED-Suit-4-624x1024.jpg

I have played so many deathmatch games, so trying my best to avoid conflict is a challenge, and makes the game more interesting. I wander aimlessly, from one interesting looking location to another, trying to find that one rare thing, called a friendly player. I only make exceptions on wookies with sniper rifles, I hate those things, quick kill and bury.

Maybe if you killed unarmed, or a man who has his weapon lowered, then you would get bandit points. Though that would still leave the snipers and backstabbers, cant think of anything that couldnt be exploied one way or another.

Only thing you should be spawned with is pockets full of dreams.

Only improvement this game (mod) requires, is a lot more zombies, 3-4 times more than currently, more dangerous and durable. But most of the improvements and fixes cant be done yet, because of arma 2. So I would just wait for the stand alone.

Been playing every session on different servers. Now I would like to find one server to stay on, and would like some help choosing one. Prerequisites: No crosshair. No player dots in the map. Server in Europe, english speaking. Others: 3rd person can be on or off (controversial about this, 3rd person is little unrealistic and easily exploitable, but 1st persons stiffness isnt that realistic either). Hoping the server would be home for friendlies and bandits equally, server full of deathmatchers gets boring as fast as server full of carebears. So any suggestion for a home would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Or they could get crabs when they die, they would randomly scratch their crotch making aiming difficult.

My three stages of friendliness: Stage 1 Me: I'm hungry, could you give me some beans? You: No. Stage 2 Me: Give me your beans or I'll shoot. You: No. Stage 3 Blam! Om nom nom. As long as I'm not in any danger, I'm friendly. And never shoot on sight, except for wookies, especially ones operating sniper rifles.

Because kill on sight is for pussies? But seriously, only because not everyone is like that, this wont reduce to a deathmatch with zombies. Deathmatchers will eventually get bored and go for the next deathmatch game, leaving the real sociopath murderers, and bandits who actually work hard to be a bandit behind.

This did give me something to think about. I did think that forced bandit indications would ruin authenticity of the experience, but I guess you can never have the real authenticity on game. You actually can in real life tell by appearance, if you should avoid that person, unless they were psychopathic sociopaths. Normal person would unwillingly show signs from far away, if they were going to kill you,

That looks like something that certain fighter's in middle east would wear. But I still think a player should be able to choose if they want to towel themselves. Btw, how do you get that? 1st kill? 5th kill? kills/day?

There is a point in both side. Normally, if you were on a group, and you died, normally your group would use your stuff then, or the new member of the group would get it (you rejoining them). But as for me, I dont want to ruin my play by storing items like this was a world of warcraft, if I put up tent, I will only use it during that life time, if I died, I would leave it there and forget it, only loot if I cross it by change, just to make it interesting. Though I havent yet found server to call home, so not my problem anyways. In the end, having everything, and not having to be so worried if you die, easily gets you bored.

Alt-F4 doesnt even work for me, but I dont even use it. Though it sucks I have to go through menus when I have to go. But, seems like most people who do complain about this, are kill on sight deathmatchers, correct me if I'm wrong.

I didnt even count how long I crawled with a broken leg, but I never give up, even if it looks desperate. My hours of crawling around ended with geometry killing me.

Only cure for KoS is more dangerous zombies, if you would have to really think, if pulling the trigger is wise.
