I camp the south Stary valleys a bit (overlooking the crop fields), so many herpaderps cross those damn fields. I can't bring myself to kill em anymore tho.

1. there are teens who play dayz more maturely than 20 somethings. 2. most 20 somethings act 14 yrs old. 3. this would be good for the 40+ guys (and mature ppl in general)

good point here, so noobs will bypass the heli, making it less desirable. However they would probably still torch it first and then take a car. Still, heli would become less desirable overall - so good point :)

good idea fior 1st person, saw you post that somewhere else. :)

just make it 1st person only. most ppl will find that hard enough...

word up! :)

you were the first to make assumptions about my diet or can't you remember that far back?

here's the fix. continue selling current dayz mod & make the SA 1st person only. people will buy both games = PROFIT.

solid idea, with passive outcomes. very good :)

great idea :) as long as the SA is 1st person only.

awww, are you a pansy? sorry....did you actually read my last post? I don't really care which one uses 3DP or 1stP, it doesn't matter - it just makes good buisness sense to split the obvious 50/50 (not minority) playstyle groups into two games = profit. Do you understand profit deal? and really look at the amount of people buying arma 2, do you really think BI want to slow down arma 2 sales? Also, everybody currently playing will buy the SA regardless and if they hate it, will go back to arma2 dayz & new purchases will probably buy both anyway & then stick with one. It's a PROFIT DEAL! you need to stop shoving haggis/gamon/death down your gullet and get some vitamins.

the way I see it, the real money is in keeping the community 'divided and conquered'. 3DP stays for the arma mod & 1st person only for the SA. That way they keep both yo monies, 3DP pansies keep their comfort stew (and keep buying ARMA2) and the hardcore douchebags get their cake with the SA. ARMA 3 stays seperate (affording a much later/better release). Its a profit deal! (yeah I hate everybody :)) win.

one, he didn't choose shit, it's just a part of a game he modded (arma) intended primarily for co-op (redundant for competition). two, he'll prolly remove the feature that generates the most tears guys... and that'll be 3DP :) he'll drown in those tears baby!

you sound like you played dayz (& arma in general) only since 1.7.0. fail.

yup because features available for a game-mod ALWAYS carry over to finished product with the playstyle dictated by beta-testers and forum junkies (*rolls eyes*). I think they'll actually remove or severely limit 3DP, just as they reintroduced bandit skins (against the majority whiners) If they don't limit or remove 3DP, everything Dean said about limiting accessibilty was bunk. Customers' wanting a challenge will move on to the next thing. Seriously I can't play anything bar DayZ & racing sims (I can play competitively with only mouse and keyboard, since I'm ambidextrous & hate setting up my wheel). Nothing else offers any challenge for me except simulators, that's why 3DP sucks. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here, there are many highly skilled players who form the long term OFP/ARMA fanbase waaay before dayz.

i would say graveyard this, but it is the number one problem with the game. REMOVE 3DP = BETTER GAME FOR ALL.

I'm all for this, but in the nintendo Zombie U fashion. I don't wanna see shock pics plz, enough of that in TF2 & CS.

Your whole post can be destroyed logically as you haven't applied any. Forcing 1st person AFTER shooting barely negates the advantage of being first-to-spot and getting 'the drop' in 3DP. Besides rhyming, that destroys all those 'points' of yours. DiazWaffleCrabstro actually has a point here because he actually thought before he posted. The game would have to 'pre-empt' your behaviour thus adding unnecessary netcode & clunkiness'.

Options ... Options... Options.... games are fucking cars now. How is giving choice a good thing? players will just choose the easiest and most passive playstyle, as they are now doing. You have suggested nothing, that hasn't already been implemented. This idea has already been suggested (pointlessly) before, please read the entire thread. I understand ARMA has 3DP, but it's mainly used for the trainer/commander and mounted weps or just humping to some place. You will rarely find any proper ARMA player using 3DP in combat or even in the AO. Can people stop using that shitty argument? BI doesn't produce wishy-washy single player RPG's like Elder Scrolls (post MWind) with disconnected gameplay and viewpoints. Can the people still suggesting 'options' just actually TRY playing in 1st person? as every 1st person player is FORCED to the 3DP style. Question: Do ANY competitive multiplayer games (beside driving/flight) allow TRULY multiple viewpoint options?

oh god, some people here are missing the point entirely. The actual POINT of "FPS only" is not about immersion, or even necessarily the blatant misuse/exploiting of 3dp under cover/grass/roof/wall. The problem is you (the 3DP guys) see obstacles as “annoying and clunky to move around” and “vision hampering” whereas these things are actually part of the game, designed to delineate the fine art of small arms. The POINT of grass is to conceal hence also hamper your vision and movement. The POINT of obstacles, buildings, walls and pits is to provide cover hence hampers vision and movement. Negation of these basic small arms combat tactics with the use of 3DP devolves the entire experience into what you (3DP people) rail on about... COD. You see, these “obstacles” make the game interesting and fun and provide rules -in somewhat proximity to real life- thus providing some basic "real life" balance (not present with 3DP gameplay). ARMA in first person only is NOT like COD. Combat decisions like movement direction are actually important, unlike corridor shooters. Play ANY death match 3DP server and note your behaviour, is it not the same as COD? Strafing constantly left to right around buildings and shooting from the hip? if you said no, you're a badass man, i'm fucking scared of you (*makes wanky-wanky motion with hand*) PS. I really don’t care about the long-play super hardcore DayZ player (they mainly use 3DP anyway and are usually youtube/.tv whores). I’m a casual player, but I want a hardcore survival sim that teaches me small arms tactics, with little to no “hidden morons”. Like before 1.5.8. Goddamn, it was fucking beautiful, like the army's wet dream come true - a 24/7 realtime small arms training and survival 'world' - there was NOTHING like it. I MISS IT. I know I’m getting “super old” since I’m 30 , but it seems these kids really don’t want to enjoy the game, they would rather have it delivered to them in a more passive manner not dissimilar from COD. Sign of the times. P.P.S to those who follow the gregorian calender, you're a fucking moron aren't you?

yeah it's sad.... everything Roberta Williams said about the modern gamer is true.

can't someone just make a zombie mod for World of Tanks and just shut these c--ts up?

* PICARD SEZ: ahh I know, attention whore hackers like frankie iz why i don't play dayz either.... goddamn bitch boys....
