Horses

[blanewhite99@aol.com 6]

I think horses would be a fantastic option for transportation. I have some ideas

 

PROS:

-Can go through woods much better than cars

-Very quiet

-They can go up hills quicker than cars and players on foot

 

CONS:

-Can die

-Must be fed and watered

-Much rarer than a car

 

+also they can be tied to a tree or a spot in the ground

I'm pretty sure they've talked about adding horses to SA.  Horses and just more livestock with intelligent AI would be awesome to see in SA.

I think it would be pretty badass to be sitting on a horse overlooking Stary Sobor.

Hello there

 

I believe horses were discounted, for the moment due to animation issues.

 

Dont quote me though.

They've been discussed and all but debunked, like all animals, because a model, AI, and animations are not only normally pains in the ass, but extremely hard to do in ArmA specifically. Why do you think the animals in the game are so retarded?

Horses would be really cool as long as they wouldn't be glichy.

...one could "drive" them arround like a car, with the difference of falling off instead of crushing and tbe horse dying instead of being destroyed...

We could also attach a carriadge!

Pretty sure they were, they were just to big to sync up correctly.  Kind of the same reason big animals like bears were discounted as well.  The animations wouldn't sync up properly and it'd look like the animal was spazzing out.

EDIT

Also, Cherno would look a little something like this...

I'd like to see horses too. You should also have to keep them warm, give them midicine if they're sick too.

[wisper 61]

And they can be a fantastic early warning system with their heightened sences.

And then BAM! Your head explodes from a sniper.

"Early one morning, with time to kill, I borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill.  I saw a lone rider crossing the plain, I drew a bead on him to practice my aim.  My clanmate's rifle went off in my hand, a shot rang out across the land.  The horse he kept running, the rider was dead.  He bitched in Side, He bitched in Side."

[wisper 61]

Hordes of zs heard the shot,

that u fired with Jeb's rifle, with no second thought.

Now they r all streaming up the hill,

I bet u don't think, u have time now to kill.

The horse gets to be witness,

of your shoot and dodging quickness.

...

Before long a z appears on your right,

congrats methink that ur on the z menu tonight!

Bet u regret that shot now and plz explain your clan mate how u lost his boom boom. :p

Dey get spooked by gunshots and cars and probably zombies aswell.

Someone summon up the ghost of Johny Cash in a dark ritual so we can start recording 'I hung my Head(DayZ Remix)"

Hello there

 

Dont forget that most horses get spooked by many things. An unexpected leaf or log can upset them. I know this from personal experience. The can be quite flighty things,

My friend almost got killed by a spooked horse.  

 

He was riding a horse at some ranch, and as was riding by a blind horse.  The blind horse got spooked somehow by the horse my friend was on and started freaking out.  My friend jumped off the horse right before the blind one beat the hell out of the horse he was on.  It was kicking and stopping and going absolutely crazy.  Judging by where the horse kicked it's back legs first, had my friend not jumped off the horse, the blind horse would of kicked him right in the head.

Horses are one of the hardest things to animate, and in Take on Helicopters engine? I doubt it'll happen.
