I was really intrigued by the amount of detail the environment of ARMA in general gave when I first got the game for DayZ. I didn't believe my friend somewhat when he said that servers used realtime clocks to make day and night. I also recently read that the game also copies the lunar cycles and day times which is extremely neat to me. I don't know if it does it yet, but I would really like to see snow and frost effects as well as things like wind condition and more adverse environmental effects. It would make stealth and everything else really interesting in the winter as well as making things more interesting in the summer; mosquitoes and other kinds of pests could be added as a detriment to player health and heat exhaustion could be a constant factor. It would also add room for things like generators to fortify buildings and keep warm. Water could even freeze and helicopters and vehicles could be hampered and require more maintenance to upkeep.

These are just a few suggestions, but I really don't care much about the specifics. I just want to see a more intricate environment for the game. It's really unique, fun and interesting in that aspect to me.

I'd like to see tides, if it can be done. Those low-lying bridges by the beach? Maybe you would actually have to use those at high-tide.
