Top 7 Reasons to be excited for DayZ.

[carbine781 (DayZ) 131]

Before you comment "It's over 1 year late", "The game has so many bugs", or some other unnecessary comment of hate, please read this.
 
Now, let me be honest with you. When DayZ was taking what seemed to be forever to come out, i was losing a lot of interest. However, after seeing a couple of the streams and some other videos about the game, I must admit, the game is coming along really nicely. It makes the long wait seem necessary (Without the long wait, The DayZ team wouldn't of had enough time to implement all of these cool features into the standalone game)
 
So anyway, here are the top 7 reasons to be excited for DayZ.
 
7. New Sound
In one of the latest streams, Dean Hall announced that somebody from Bohemia Interactive will help create new sounds for the standalone. Many people have been complaining about the old sounds, so now, you guys can shut up :P
 
6. Clothes
Yay, clothes! Now, there is a large variety of clothes, backpacks, and more. There are also helmets, too. Some clothes, such as bullet proof vests, have certain helpful traits. Other clothes just give you a unique look. These clothes will make you look pretty, and could help you survive in the wilderness too.
 
5. Better Zombies
Zombies have been completely reworked. They no longer zigzag, they can now run indoors, and more. They also can give various diseases, making them a constant threat. This should encourage players to team up, and this just makes the game harder and scarier.
 
4. Better Inventory
The inventory system is a lot cleaner and easier to use. You can easily drag and drop things on. No more confusing arrows!
 
3. Better Hunting
Hunting is becoming a much bigger part of the game. New animals, such as dear and birds, will be added to the game for people to hunt. They even added rats... yummy.
 
2. Better Items
Items are now more dynamic. What do I mean? First, items can get damaged from bullets, etc. If you shoot somebody on sight, you may shoot a pocket or there backpack containing there gear, and you may damage some of the items inside. A great example is the damaged acog scope.

 

 

1. Better Map

 

The map may be the most exciting part of the standalone. First of all, it's a lot bigger. Also, 95% of the buildings are now enterable. Many places have been expanded. Chernogorsk is now 3x bigger then it used to be. Holy Crap. ( and don't forget, most of the buildings there are now enterable too). In some of the streams, they showed off big apartments, which were enterable and had many rooms to loot. There is also a swamp, Utes island is floating around nearbye, and the NE airfield has had an upgrade too. Thats all I know of, but i'm sure there are a lot more changes for us to find.

 

So thats basically it. If there are bugs in the alpha (which there most likely will be), remember, it's an alpha. The game hsa improved a lot from the mod, and i think it will be a success.

7. That's what they said about ArmA 2...their flagship sound was that of the UH1 everything else still sounded like 10yo OFP sounds...i doubt they will reach JSRS quality unless Jarhead is now working part time at BIS :P

6. Yes finally...but if they haden't made ArmA 3 they might not have that either but i'm also happy about that.

5. They still act kind of weird, apart from the pathfinding let's see how far the zeds have changed.

4. I never had problems with the "old system" arrows for the win!!!

3. Looks like hunting players will be a big part of the new game, too.

2. Still won't change KoS...how many items will be broken? Take the risk and still shoot the player? YES!!

1. How much is it bigger? Seems a lot of the current space is more usable hence "bigger"?

8. There are many more items with different functions and more are planned :)

 

What I'm really looking forward too though are two things.

 

Cherno (why my fps I won't see shit anyways :P )

Clothing. My char will look so badass ;)

1 reason that rules them all. Everything is IMPROVED

I didn't need those reasons. I've wanted the SA since it was announced. I didn't even get mad when they postponed it back in 2012.

[blurhitz 244]

I was already in the massive hype and reading this just made me want it more and more. Damn dude... No game has ever did this to me before hahaha

I've heard that the map has expanded quite a few kilometers north.

I've heard that the map has expanded quite a few kilometers north.

 

And the west as well.

 

Don't forget Utes is going to be included.

7) JSRS.....is what I call a new sounds, just put those in SA and the world will rejoice

6) oh yea......like in arma 3.......sounds new.........gotta love those helmets

5) better zombies? wait were talking about SA here right?.......if not running in a zig zag is what you call better, then god bless but compare them to ama 3 breaking point and then come back and say that. I glad they are just place holders hope they completely rework it. 

4) One good point, really liking that inventory. 

3) hunting animals sounds fun but they have a lot to do before they even think about that

2) Items seem good, like the damage on them. But please this won't solve kos.

1) Will be fun to explore the new areas of the map, I  hope there is more players to compensate for the bigger area.
