resausk 14 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Looking at the latest screenshots which look pretty nice. It looks similar to Arma 2...dont want to be incorrect here, but the standalone is based off Arma 3's engine right and not 2's? Most of the houses are pretty similar to those in DayZ...Just asking for new things is all...dont want something to look to similar to the original DayZ map. Personally Im tired of the woodsy map I wish the standalone took place in an urban area like New York for instance. Think itd be more creepy and fun. Get to fortify your own buildings, more realistic loot spawns, huge super markets, police stations with possible shot guns handguns and possible riot gear as a player model. Just an idea of mine...

otherd 5 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) The standalone will be based on arma 2 engine so that they dont have to recreate the entire thing. They are calling it arma engine 2.5 because it will be a modified version customized for dayz. I hope they can upgrade it somewhat. I agree the screenies look pretty nice.

I agree the screenies look pretty nice.Kind of lame :/ I really liked what they did to the Arma 3 Engine with the character animations and all...oh well either way Im still going to buy it provided that my damn serial doesnt get stolen again and Hackers are extremely scarce....If you want to hack....how hard is it to go to a damn private server to do it...

fatherjohn 143 Posted October 20, 2012 they would not be able to release the game, even as an alpha, so quickly if they used the Arma 3 engine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H@buster 1 Posted October 20, 2012 The only thing they stated was that they'd use the NETCODE of Arma 2.Besides that, everything Bohemia has is up for grabs, so if there's an easy way to get the nice Arma 3 animations into the game, they will do so.The map is still Chernarus, but it is being worked on heavily as we speak.AFAIK, all buildings will be enterable and servers will hold 200+ players - so if you want some urban fun, visit Cherno or Elektro.
