My experience with the Arma 2 physics engine

[Ziliphade 20]

So... i was in the middle of cherno, i had an AKM and a Makarov PM, tons of ammo for both, lots of bandages, good amount of blood, no one was around, i also had camo and tons of food. I decided i was going to move on to elektro after i looted one last building... i got to the top of it, seeing as nothing was there i went to the edge of the roof to look if anyone had entered the city, i went prone and slowly approached the edge then my character must have been on crack because he fucking GOT RIGHT UP, BROKE INTO AN INSANLEY FAST SPRINT, RIGHT OFF THE 4TH FLOOR TO THE 3RD FLOOR, dead. This game is really awesome -_-. Now on to why i made this post... the building i was in was under construction and it was all plain and solid, if anyone knows the one im talking about, you should also know the distance between floors, which is not that much, maybe 2 fridges worth of height, my question is 1. why the hell did my character start sprinting? 2. why the hell cant you survive a stupid short fall? The end.:@

Welcome to Arma2. :D

I'ts been like this for years. I don't know how many thousands of times I've died in the regular game when I get stuck on a rock, or can't get over a wall, or walk off a staircase, or parachute touches a tree or something.

The game shines when you get 60 players on a big combined arms battle with tanks, jets, laser designating targets and infantry moving in.

Up close and personal..just doesn't do justice to what this game is capable of. Dayz is going to be frustrating for many because it's taking the best working physics/equipment elements out and building it's game around what doesn't work as well. That doesn't make the mod any less GREAT, just have to accept what it is.

Broke my leg running in the forest, but i don't mind, start again and see if u can do better.

Also, today two zombies fell over in the forest chasing me and died was hilarious.

i think you start with a disease, crystal bones being the most common. Heard of a guy that spawned with syphilis.

[wolfstriked 143]

Change the broken to sprained.Sprained leg is bad enough as you can't run without a good shot of morphine but at least you can walk.Give some moaning sounds until your juiced up on morphine for added effect.I'm telling you Rocket is sadistic!! :)

I somehow hate this post more than i've hated any in a while. Its far better to not understand the nature of the game your playing and demand it conform to what you're used to than to adapt.

heh I spent a good chunk of last night and today stuck on the side on a pond.

Looked like I was going to fall thru the map, but I'd bounce back up before going all the way thru. boing, boing, boing....could not fucking move at all except to prone, crouch, stand. boing, boing, boing......

Somehow, while reading my map, my guy decides to swim in 1 foot of water....and I finally made it out before having to push respawn. Pretty mixed emotions there.

Someone said sprains... I think that would be interesting, perhaps painkillers can numb the damage from a sprain but can't heal it only over time.

Broken bones should be reserved for something more severe, although dropping a floor is... depending how much gear you have would depend on whether your legs break or not.

However I've had two moments of madness, one I went to go up a set of stairs and instead I actually ran through them until my head was the only thing above the stairs and then I broke my legs, passed out and died quickly after. Another, I went to climb over a fence near a dear stand, I climb over my character is on the other side... I go to move, *SNAP* left lying on the floor miles away from anything... Respawn
