If you die as a hero, you're doing it wrong.

First, you'll actually have to BUY ArmA2 instead of pirating it. (If you actually did buy it, sorry. The way you say you "downloaded" it makes me think you pirated it) Second, you also meed Operation Arrowhead, which I'm sure comes with Combined Ops but you should double check. I also highly reccomend DayZ Commander instead of Playwith6

Maybe everyone should start with a radio but no battery to use it

If that were in, people would complain more about the game being clunky

I put in my two cents. You didn't need to write a snooty response and a high school essay to prove me wrong

Pretty sure zombies shouldn't instantly die after getting hit in the arm or leg with a firemans axe

Something else is missing. GLOVES

I don't think DayZ is in the Armaverse because ARMA 3 takes place in the near future and there sure aren't any zombies there. Unless you get the mod for ARMA3

SKS

If it was 100% completely empty of guns and ammo, yep! I would support it. Think about it. Where's the FIRST place everyone will go (besides police stations, grocery stores and churches) during a zombie apocalypse. The gun store would be either filled to the brim with dead rotting bodies because some maniac wanted all the guns, or completely empty.

0. Get Energized and Hydrated (or get saline bags) 1. Get a friend 2. Get him to knife you 3. Bandage 4. Repeat 2 5. Repeat 3 6. Repeat until you have a DayZ mummy halloween costume

But there IS recorded evidence:

how rude.

I did that once with a Mosin and a long range scope and went all guardian-angel on these two new spawns. Every zombie they came across I just gunned down for them. They had no idea where I was and after every shot I took they would put up their hands and do the friendly dance. I protected them for about an hour before I lost track of them.

Good idea. But I still think that players should only bleed like that if they're shot or hit with a sharp object. You shouldn't just spew out a fountain of blood after getting punched by a zombie.

Nothing more to be said.

haha.. ha... yeah.. uh.. I may or may not have 6 pistols right now...

Anything that helps make the game not look like a crappy lego stopmotion by a 5 year old, I'll be happy with. (like this one)

that would be amazing. But all those "24/7 Daytime" wimp servers will ruin it

I'm going to suggest this before the server-side day/night cycle option is available to server owners. Night time in DayZ is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately nobody likes to play on servers where it's night time because they're either afraid of the dark, don't like using flashlights, babies, scared, or prefer "24-7 100% dey evertim" servers because there's more people on them. I think that EVERY server should have the SAME day/night cycle at the SAME time as every other server. So say it's night time on one server, EVERY other server will be night time as well. There should be no such thing as thumb-sucking "24/7 Day" servers. The server owners out there who object to this, or own a "24/7 day server" should really rethink owning a server, because it's pointless playing a game with a day and night cycle, just to turn it off because some babies can't handle the dark. Night time adds a drastic number to the Horror/Thriller part of the game which should be emphasized a lot more than, say, payday masks.

I never said night time would be as long as it is in the real world.

Here's the suggestion - and I'm 98% sure it's not been suggested before. From the moment you spawn to the second you die, the game should save a screenshot every five minutes. Not to steam or anything, just a folder or something in your program files. Hopefully this can be done without 'screenshot lagspikes' if anyone knows what I mean. Now, the point of the screenshots is this. Many people who have near-death experiences have told tales of "Life flashing before my eyes" or something like that. I say when you die in DayZ it should play ALL the five-minute screenshots at a very quick pace - maybe 5 screenshots a second - and as it does that, have some epic video effects of them slowly fading to black with smoke wisps or something on the corners of the screen. When it's done, it says 'You Are Dead' and then you can respawn.

... Tactical vests have been in since day 1

My question is, why do you need two DayZ games...?

Replace M4 with AKM.
