No it doesn't, and I'll leave it at that.

Animations would be great. My question is, would these animations be in first person or third person for the person performing the action?

I'll admit I've been playing on private hive servers which require some type of white listing to avoid hackers. It seems to be the only thing to deter hackers until the standalone.

Rocket said himself he doesn't see the full release of DayZ ever costing more than 30 dollars, and he's mentioned a few times 15 Euros for DayZ alpha, but that's not official yet.

I'm with you on that one, the grass doesn't even need to be good looking far away, it just needs to do it's job of concealing.

I never said "it's an alpha" I said we are alpha testers, we aren't customers, it is our job to test the game. Though we are free to come and go as we please. (The message below is not specifically just for you, it is meant as a general statement.) My suggestion is that if you are getting graphical artifacts and you have already posted what settings you are using, what beta patch you are on, and information regarding your graphics card (what card, what drivers, etc). And haven't been able to find a solution via tweaking your settings, then you should go play something else until the next patch. A majority of what we are seeing are people just blatantly complaining that they have artifacts, yet they don't post any useful information at all. Rocket and the dev team are busy, that much is obvious, when the patch is ready they will release it, and we can resume testing/playing.

Let me just say this. Why don't I get the graphical artifacts, but some of you do. You don't know right? Do you think rocket knows? It's going to take some time, this is a mod and we are alpha testers, we aren't customers. I know, we bought arma 2 combined operations, that doesn't entitle us to anything but the ability to play arma 2 combined operations. There are plenty of other games out there to kill time. I'm sure you all have other games as well. Why don't you take some time off from DayZ, go have some fun, and come back when the patch is out.

21 dollars is pretty high for alpha/beta, If I'm not mistaken minecraft is $26.95 as it is now. The plan is you buy it low in alpha, and you never have to pay again even when it's released. Rocket said he doesn't see DayZ being more than $30 (when it is complete), so I wouldn't worry about the price.

The standalone is going to be released in Alpha, I don't know why you are under the impression that all the bugs will instantly be fixed.

Yes.... why would it be more likely that Stanag mags were removed, than that the list you're viewing is flawed.

I've found stanag mags just the other day, they are not removed. Likely the list is flawed.

Pretty much the only way to fix the hacking is by going stand alone.

You never bought DayZ to begin with. Therefore you can't buy it for a second time. If you don't think buying a game like DayZ for less than 30 dollars is a steal then I have no faith in humanity anymore. People will buy call of duty for 60 dollars when it's the same game with new guns and maps every year, but they wont buy DayZ because they feel entitled to have it for free.

You need to locate your profile file which is found in the "Arma 2 Other Profiles" folder which is located in "My Documents". Then you need to open the ARMA2OAPROFILE file with notepad, find where it shows your face and add _camo4 to it, or any number between 1-6 of your choice. Then select save. For example, mine shows face="Face101_camo4";

I doubt you can get banned for it. Just make sure the file is under 100 kb or others won't be able to see it.
