Played it for about 2 hours and loving it. Teaming up with strangers is way better now. Zombies are relentless, me and my little group of survivors ran from building to building and they kept just swarming in through all openings.

This has got to be one of the worst arguments ever. You know why this mod is so popular? Because people were craving for a realistic zombie apocalypse game that doesn't hold your hands all the time for ages. And if that explanation doesn't satisfy you, consider that arma 2 is marketed as a simulator, thats why you probably never heard of the franchise before DayZ.

Cool idea but unrealistic and therefor won't be added.

Thanks again rocket for removing the spawn makaroni gun. Carebears will whine and complain but that's all they do anyway.

Woah, beware people, carebears are able to make threats! Seriously now, nobody cares. It's not like rocket gets money for every person that is playing the game. Leave, nobody will miss you. Tell your carebear friends too that starting weapons are getting removed.

That's the point. New players have to adapt to the game, not the other way around. New players will realizes that they are defenseless, so their only option is stealth. The first weapon could lay anywhere in a 100 meter radius for all I care, you're acting like I want to remove all weapons. This statement just further strengthens my assumption that you have absolutely no in-game experience. Like i stated earlier, you are invisible while prone. Zombies have to literally step on you in order to know you're even in their proximity. The most lethal, dangerous and unpredictable individuals remain the makaroni knights. Kids who heard about this game, installed it, spawned with a gun in their hand a thought "Yep, this sure is a FPS, better kill some people". Not only that but everything in this game should be precious seeing that it takes place in a survival setting. Something as valuable as gun shouldn't be given to the player for free, especially now that the game has blown up and everyone and their mom plays it. This game is close to sending out a strong signal to everyone in the game industry that this is really a balls to the wall zombie simulator.

1. Stealth is the key to success 2. There wouldn't be a point in killing new players because they don't drop any loot, this argument can however be countered by saying that some people would just enjoy killing new players for the fun of it. Early PvP on the beach however, in the month since I've played, is rare. Players that have been alive for a while spend their time in cities etc. looking for better loot. The pros outweigh the cons, I've been killed more times by makarov spamming survivors than anything. It's really annoying giving new players a gun out of nowhere when they spawn. People abuse the starting makarov, period. A few other pros for removing the starting gun: -Increases tension and the fear of dying, knowing that you'd spawn without a weapon -Survivors could meet early without the fear of getting back stabbed and work together

Pros of spawning without a weapon, for the people who think it's a bad idea: -Removes early makarov spamming -Removes early PvP -Early Emphasis on stealth in order to get a weapon -Sends out a signal to new players that this isn't your typical FPS

People complaining about the removal of global chat are the ones used to a common online experience like a MMORPG. Most of them just registered so I don't think their opinion has any importance. Removing the global chat was the best thing that has happened to this mod. Global chat was completely unplausible and unrealistic. If the signal hasn't gone out by now, it should next update. This is not your typical game, stop trying to enforce common gaming-rules onto it. Can't wait for the next update and all the threads regarding the missing starting-weapon. "I just spawned without a weapon, wtf, i thought this was a FPS"

Holy ****, thank you based rocket for removing the starting makarov. I requested this so many times. The heartbeat idea is cool too.

Removing makarov greattest idea in countrey

SHOOT FEMALES ON SIGHT. NOT EVEN BEING SEXIST BUT MOST OF THE FEMALES ARE JUST BANDITS IN DISGUISE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT EXTRA MOMENT OF HESITATION SURVIVORS HAVE WHEN THEY SEE A FEMALE. SHOOT FEMALES OR YOUR LOOT WILL BE GONE. DON'T COME HERE WHINING LATER HOW A FEMALE KILLED YOU.

Like I said, If you ever played any other online game that involves genders, you know how exploited female characters are. And why the hell are you bringing religion into this discussion. Mods close threads, your belief has nothing to do with closing threads.

Only for DayZ, no offense to the main game but I'm pretty much sick of any military setting at this point.

2, it's simple and not as cluttered as the other options.

Is it safe to play? The 1.5.8.3 hotfix ran fine for me but after all the stuff I've been reading I don't wanna spawn dead and lose all my stuff.

Confirming this, huge FPS drop since the hotifx.

The "fanbase" doesn't have any clue about game design. Rocket knows exactly what he's doing, including the fanbase in decisions would make this game a 24/7 daytime , respawn instantly death match.
