Convenience, I would assume, but only if it properly updates ArmA 2 and DayZ after install.
Wouldn't you need to install the latest beta of ArmA 2, though?

Yeah if you zig zag between trees and stuff zombies will de-aggro after a certain distance now.
Nice to see DayZ mod on Steam finally.. too bad DayZ Commander makes it completely obsolete.
How so? I used Six Launcher before reinstalling everything through steam.

Ugh, I hate Six Launcher--tried to use it when it first came out for ACE and it was a mess. DayZ Commander is soooo easy to use--I wish the devs made a complete ArmA mod management tool.

So bohemia on PS4 and this?
......
Death and comfy couches don't seem compatible. This reminds me. I hope Rocket and crew figure out a new night time system. The current 24 hour cycle pushes people to daytime servers. Which is unfortunate. Nighttime play is amazing, but not great every single night every week.
It's a utility that lets the user take a hands-off approach to file management for DayZ. Tells you when DayZ is out of date, or if there is a new Arma2 beta and will download and install for you with the click of a button. VASTLY superior server browser, search for friends, filter out servers with 3rd person or name plates, built in compatibility with custom maps like Lingor, Namalsk, Origins, 2017 etc etc which it will also install for you automatically.
I used Six Launcher previously as well, for like a week. It's trash in comparison.

They have redone or included more drinks in the game while also illustrating deterioration of quality over time.

Actually it's a takeaway from Mug Root Beer. The second best root beer behind A&W

Edit: Jsrs Mod...BEST...MOD...EVER. Makes everything sound so epic. Also the sound is much more crisp and clear.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Actually, it's much more playable.. especially on a server that starts you with revolver/hatchet/compass/map/etc... found a server that's not full of griefer's and have had a great time the last 2 days playing again.
Been able to do things I never lasted long enough to do back when this mod really first hit. Having a melee weapon made a huge difference since you're never completely fucked anymore like you were without ammo back in the day.
Just sucks you can't carry a second gun and have the hatchet equipped.. but I realize it's a workaround.

Still haven't fixed crap falling damage.. or the fact something like a tractor explodes from the slightest damage.
This game is going to be amazing if they can get everything to fall into place.
Animations were one of my biggest complaints. HYPED.

Love that they're still pushing out updates.
Some pretty awesome changes! Lots of nerfs to zeds though, hope the game doesn't feel too easy...should make for more encounters in high zed population areas, though.

I know for sure it won't include all content from DayZ--they've said as much, at least related to weapons. However, I am hoping that the DayZ mod is a testing ground for a lot of the game behavior changes they've been making.
It's because they're all based on the names of forum mods that had nothing to do with the creation of any of the assets in the game. Everyone thinks it's unprofessional and in bad taste.
The forum mods still represent the developers in the online community.
True. However the assets were made BY the developers who wanted to give a friendly nod to the mods while still keeping in line with the games feel. Sounds to me like a lot of people are just butt hurt

People (including me) got a bit angry because this is a game based on realism. Most of the names are fine and actually pretty good but some of them...
- (Soda) mZLY yZLY (mZLY)
- (Soda) R4Z0R soda (R4Z0R)
- (Can) FraggleOs (Fraggle)
- (Can) Herpy Dooves Canned Muffins (DerpyHooves)
That just completely breaks emmersion in the game

I highly doubt these will transfer to the stand alone, since they where talking about starting from scratch in terms of items on that one. To me this looks like some dev fun with the mod in its last couple of months.
edit: nice vids littleworm, the haunted hatchback was hilarious!
Oh btw, what are your specs? since your framerate looks silky smooth while still having high quality settings from the looks of it.
What I find funny is the mumble conversation in the background. Me and j sharing the storys. Good times
Edit: You might wanna edit your videos down next time. Its like half an hour of me talking...and you didnt let me finish my story
littleworm, your game is a blurry mess 
.
I guess some people are fine with the bad motion blur and all that other blur (I don't even know what to call it, heh. It's like a bad depth of field effect) that the arma 2 engine has unless you disable it from the options (I think it's the post processing option, it's been a while so I'm not sure).

I'm playing again after a long time (basically I was playing during the initial exploit of the mod, following the "The Days Ahead" videos from CHKilroy).
I'm very resilient to clunkyness but undoubtedly it is still over the top: moving inside small rooms-corridors, climbing/descending ladders, deadly 1m falls, framerate woes. I really hope this gets fixed in the stand alone but.. the engine is going to be the same, so I have may doubts.
Also the game now is: deathmatch. The thrill of encountering a new player "will he be friendly or not?" is lost, everyone is unfriendly, nobody seeks collaboration anymore and people just kill on sight. So I hope the standalone offers more meaningful enticements to a different behavior than "everybody dieee".
Also: don't you think that Chernarus map is too large for 50 (server average) players?

actually its not.. its a mixture of arma 2 and arma 3 tech, put into its own branch. so they have their own dedicated dayz branch of the "Real Virtuality engine". This means that they can modify the engine from the ground up and modify it to fit the requirements they think it needs to fit the game.
I fully believe the dayz stand alone will be a totally different game in the way it feels, behaves and looks then the arma 2 version.
check out their development blog for some more information about this.
I understood it was still arma2 engine, just upgraded to its latest version, the one from Take on Helicopters (so, something like half life 2 source vs portal 2 source: improvement but still the very same engine).
I'd like to be as positive as you are, but I can't after all; I hope I am totally wrong of course.
You are correct that its the Take On Helicopters engine at its core, but they've modified it immensely for DayZ, from what it sounds like, you could almost say it's a different engine. And I do think they are incorporating some aspects of ArmA3 into it, though I doubt any of its graphics in nature. At the end of the day I think it will be a marked improvement over DayZ mod and ArmA2/ToH in all areas but still noticeably below that of ArmA3 visually and probably performance wise, but hopefully not by much in that respect.
