Face mapping

[dacane 0]

Hi, i have a little suggestion here. 

Since its not realistic to have someone's name display on top of their head, so like in real life the only way we recognize people is by looking at their face, how they dress up etc. 

 

Could we please get the feature of face mapping in the game? so ppl can recognise each other by face instead of only appearance like what they have in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8rwRzXb-LY )

i don't think this is an unrealistic suggestion. as long as it looks waaaaay better than that video

He recorded with a phone and uploaded, thats how I do DayZ videos XD

But I would love this. As long as theres a face detector so theres no penis face bandits runnin around.

IMO, it's not neccessary to be better, something like what we see in the video is good enough for u to recognise your friends (lets not over burden the devs right now),

I wouldn't want face mapping.. I'd like to be able to adjust the shapes of facial features like something we'd see from games such as The Sims, Saints Row, APB Reloaded, Perfect World and more.

• No custom faces (scanned in, like rainbow six) due to TTP and performance hit.

Sorry guys, this looks like a non-starter!

Yeah I agree. At the bare minimum I'd at least want some more faces to choose from and some more hairstyles.

as long as you don't look like a little kid on halloween with facepaint slathered all over their face, I think this is a great idea.

 

If not, something like Skyrim or Saint's Row would be cool.

Hello there

 

Performance issues aside, in all my years of playing OFP/Arma (around 2002) etc and using custom faces, I never saw one "willy" face. (the [lol] squad dis have some odd ones though)

 

If they did appear it would most likely be because dean keeps bloody mentioning it! *deanslap*

 

But tbh custom faces dont really help I.D. folk in game, its more about the kit they have.
