Whats this new strategy you speak of? Running around unarmed as an inventory mule for others?

Dayz central is getting DDoS attacked for about the past 10 hours. Usually if the central website/forums work then the servers should. It's been sporadic at best.

The details of this look great. Honestly if they just kept re-releasing Rome Total War and Medieval Total War every 5 years or so with a new engine and new mechanics, I would be happy.

That's really odd Shinobi, We played for a couple hours yesterday and it seemed to be working like usual. What time do you usually play? Where do you teleport back to? There is a bug where people are spawning in a debug zone (literally several kilometers off that map). When the relog they always spawn back at the debug zone. The only fix I know of so far is to hit respawn and start a new character. Though this is supposed to be fixed in the next patch if you don't mind waiting.

Love it!

Nothing I know works yet. It will require a fix from Rocket. I've tried the same things, running them over, packing them up and moving, shooting them. After a restart they always come back.

Sweet, I'll see about getting this working when I get off work.

Hmm, sounds like it was either moved, stolen, or blown up then. It had enough gear to last someone months so it wouldn't surprise me if they just high tailed it out of there with it.

PM'ed coordinates. Hopefully it is still there, if there are no vehicles or tents then it might need a restart. (I just restarted it about 5 minutes ago)

My review is based only on the single player portion of the game. Cutting to the point I don't believe it is worth the full price of the game and I would wait for it to be on sale. However, most GR games in the past have thrived in multiplayer. I don't think this one will shine as bright though. Frankly, there just isn't the freedom you would expect from earlier titles. You basically have three load outs to choose from (LMG, Rifle, Sniper) then for a secondary you have (Pistol, SMG, Shotgun). You can modify scopes and cosmetics but the deeper customization appears to do nothing. It's odd, but you can 'modify' everything from the stock of a rifle to the trigger and gas system. But they don't appear to have any ballistic characteristics. Rather the way it worked for me was that if a rifle was suppressed it took 2 hits at center mass to kill and an unsilenced rifle took 1. All of the other little customizations didn't do anything noticeable. There is also no real difference between the standard weapons and ones you unlock. Meaning you will likely use the default rifle, sniper rifle, pistol for the entire game. Level design is highly scripted with 80% of it giving you one path to go down. Certain levels might look more open but you are really only given 2 options, all leading to the same point. The 'story' is just a loose connection of environments that supposedly lead you to the final location. Again, the style and look of this game is top notch. But there is little substance in my opinion. To me it feels like another interactive action movie ala Call of Duty.

I haven't played the most recent Ghost Recon games but from my experience with Future Soldier so far is it feels like a rail shooter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rail_shooters Basically, I remember in earlier GR games that I had tons of options to choose from in terms of how I complete an objective. The paths I take, the weapon load outs, stealth vs loud. This game has style down great, but content wise it feels closer to a COD game in my opinion. I think multiplayer COOP on a higher difficulty might improve this feeling, but it is still hard to shake when you get a "You are leaving the battlefield" message when trying to flank a group of enemies. Forcing me to attack them up the middle.

Good Luck J! Keep us updated !

The whole ban issue has been dealt with. I think from now on we should discuss all bans on the thread in the member forums. It was completely legitimate and its unfortunate that it had to happen in the first place. In other news, here is a great article if you have 10 minutes to read: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/22/day-z-arma-3-interview-on-left-4-dead-skyrim-player-emotion-and-in-game-disease/

Won't be able to for about 4 hours but I will then. EDIT: Actually Ill head home for lunch and be on in about 30min

Well from the screenshots it looks like this DLC introduces flooding (blowing up a dam maybe?) Might be interesting. Map size is more what I am concerned about, anything less than like 25km square is getting too small.

Im curious to see what the maps will be like for this upcoming ARMA 2 DLC, I wonder if they will be of any use for a domination map: http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/04/arma-2-army-of-the-czech-republic-dlc-will-add-new-army-new-guns-new-missions/

Ebe make sure you have the latest ARMA OA Beta patch (It won't overwrite anything for regular ARMA) Green bar at the top: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Also make sure you follow these instructions wether you have steam or retail: http://dayzwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_install_DayZ#ARMA2_Beta_patch

There are very strict guidelines for running a server. And it is true that we don't have the same liberties that we could take on our own server for ARMA. Unless we can prove hacking, disconnecting in firefights, or racists and abusive chat, there is really nothing else you can be banned for. We won't get blacklisted unless we were banning people for reasons that weren't above. That is why I make sure to only do it when we have evidence of it happening. EDIT: I will say that we experience similar desync lag earlier in the day when Crispy shot someone in the face at point blank range, that individual didn't go down for several seconds and was able to return fire at Crispy, injuring him. I blame the ARMA/DayZ net code which is constantly improving, and according to the next patch notes, should be improved.

Thanks for the heads up, I will deal with it. It's amazing how people lie in this game, I don't know what they think they are achieving.

Looks like an interesting combination of RTS and FPS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZoohC7IwIH8 Didn't know if anyone else is following this. http://www.heroesandgenerals.com/community/

I got RCon up and running which should help admining the server. I found out one of the individuals. It is someone we have dealt with before. He logged in and out several times using different aliases. I can tell there were more based on the logs, but if you have their names I can look into it.

Yep, we'll just double check the player ID's and make sure they match.

It is neither confirmed or denied...
