Petition to make ALL Doors Openable.

Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm new to Day Z. My biggest problem is the fact that only SOME of the buildings are enterable and you can't tell until you get to it.

I was scavenging with a new character and was running cross country away from a horde of zombies. I saw a house and ran to it figuring I could go into the front then out the back. The door wasn't openable. I died.

I see a large mansion with zombies roaming outside. I slowly creep around, careful to avoid all the zombies, get to the front door and... can't be opened. I can't escape. I died.

Exploring industrial area. A guy in a car shows up and starts shooting. Dive to what looks like a small boathouse. Can't be opened. I died.

Either make all the buildings openable or give the openable doors some different color. I know that wouldn't be very realistic, but having a small cottage in the middle of the countryside impenetrable isn't very realistic either.

UPDATE: Consider this thread closed. The commenters made very good points that addressed my issues.

Its just a problem with the map, Arma 2 isn't about indoor combat and that's why a lot of buildings are not available to enter so at this time nothing can be done.

You can enter all the buildings with transparent windows.

No need for a petition, Rocket has stated on many occasions he wants to make all buildings accessible. Whether that's going to happen as a mod or when it's released as a standalone only time will tell.

ArmA 2 wasnt made for indoor combat thus only a bunch of buildings are actually enterable. Its a big job to make more buildings enterable as those buildings needs to be modeled on the inside aswell, dont expect to to happen anytime soon.
