Season changes in DayZ

[Maplemayhem 5]

It would be cool if DayZ had seasons that change when they do in real life. For example, it would be summer now, fall in a few months.

Is this possible?

You could also have different types of camouflage to blend in with the environment, like snow outfits and what-not. The climate would also affect the zombies, like they'd become slower in the winter and faster in the spring/summer. You can also harvest things depending on the season, like the ability to use snow to fill your canteen, and being able to pick berries in the spring, use pumpkins in the fall, etc.

Similar to the time alignment based on server location? Beloozero seal of approval.

Some interesting ideas here

Sure sounds cool. Tough I think it will be very hard to implement, since you would have to remake the whole map, atleast 3 times, and more if you want the season changes to look smooth.

I thought about this too, in ARMA3 this will be a possible thing but with the latest game on the horizon I doubt the dev team will be wasting time on changing ARMA2 to include seasons. Since I believe that it would have to be changed into ARMA itself to work with the mod, or at least it would make it run better.

A winter mod has been done for Arma 2, although a seamless transition between all the seasons would be amazing for DayZ.

It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it's possible with the current engine. I'm happy enough with a day/night and weather cycle.

Need some snow to play in. This is Russia afterall. Russia isn't complete without snow.

Snow would be a great add

Snow would be a great add

But there is also the russian summer which can get pretty hot.

Man that video with the crunchy snow makes me tingle.

Sounds good.
