DayZ Video Camera's!

[Gopher (DayZ) 5]

I was thinking of an idea of having a video camera implemented into DayZ where you could record your gameplay in first person, like a gopro camera IRL. You could find it in game and there can be a press to use button to record first-person gameplay for an "x" amount of time before the battery life runs out, and then you'd have to find a new battery to continue recording. The "gopro" would also record direct coms and sounds that can be heard normally in DayZ. It'd be nice to find one and record your characters interesting moments in that life, such as fire fights or scary encounters. And once you die the player who loots your body can find a video diary of your encounters during that life for your character and possibly how you spent your last moments. It would be a nice change to see another persons P.O.V in Chernarus. This could also be really easy to record hackers to get them banned. Also, it could also server as a way to show if you've killed someone who has slaughtered many people or someone who's helped out many. Either way I really dont think that it would cause any bad gameplay interferences and would be a fun addition to the DayZ mod.

I like this idea simply for recording what you and friends ahve done, and posting on net, as "your story" which is the sloggan for this game.

I think it should just be an option for people to always record not just with a camera, thoguh.
