Because the community hasn't tried hard enough/care enough to hack them

It's not the game that's riddled with hacks, it's the community.

I'm a little disappointed, as both of these questioned are answered in the OP, before you even asked them

Nope.

God I'd love it to be on Lemnos, but with more trees

Basically: 3rd person view + Standing + MG + Constant firing = will miss unless the end of the barrel was in your target's mouth I'm not even exaggerating

He states in an interview that the Arma 2 inventory system is the way it is because you generally use what you start with in military missions. In this mod, you pick up/swap/drop a lot of items constantly. He is definitely improving on the UI.Don't worry about it. The Arma engine can be customized more than you appear to be assuming. Just watch this space. If you are really concerned, some people have gone and designed some UIs in the suggestions forum. Theres something you can do to contribute :)

Arma 2 has realistic bullet physics. If he was far away, the bullets would have dropped a lot. Also constant fire from an MG will only have the first 2 bullets land on target.

That will happen when you say "This game is shit". That's not helping. What you need to say is "This feature is flawed, anyone else experiencing this?" or "I have a suggestion, what if..." (posted in the suggestions forum, of course) That is the premise of being alpha testers

:lol:If I had any more beans to give today, you'd get them

You can wait for everyone else to give their review if you want?And I got more entertainment from my Excel spreadsheet than I did from Eve...lol

I'm actually more proud of the constructive argument that's going on here (even you, OP). It's almost bringing a tear to my eye :) There's hope for this community

Your money will be contributed towards the development of DayZ and other BIS games. Thank you for buying Arma 2 in spite of this announcement :)

Dammit, why can I only give you guys only 1 can of beans? Have all my beans!

My opinion? I hope there are no more private servers. So much trouble from accusations of admin cheating, and admins not following the rules, and admins modifying the game.

Did I mention BIS...that is, the studio, offers mod support as well?Let that sink in for a moment... The developers of the game communicate with modders to help them make their mods, and change the engine where they can to support said mods.

No, they put a lot of time in to providing a powerful modding tool packaged with the engine, that makes mods like these possible.BF3 didnt. Such is life.

good thing this is in "alpha" development then ;)

I alone have been locking threads that don't criticize the payment model (why would you? Its cheap), but have been attacking the DayZ team, and demanding something for buying Arma 2. You bought a game with a mod you wanted to play. Now you have the option to buy another game. It's that simple.

If you had my job...

I'll remove that post. It's not exactly black-and-white. I apologise, I fell for what was in the article.

Updated OP. Dean will announce the engine DayZ is running on in the not too distant future

No idea, but Im really hoping for a new custom map. There is too much meta-gaming.If only you guys could have experienced what I did way back when before there were guides, tutorials, maps etc...playing for the first time in the pitch black (before the gamma exploit was known). I know this will fall on deaf ears; when the standalone comes out, do yourself a favour and do not look at maps/guides...the experience is 10x greater when you are truly lost in the woods.
