Day Z: An ARMA II mod that coud be the Zombie game we've always wanted.

I don't know. I do think it looks like navigating around objects is less clunky. I just really dislike how jerky movements are. It's like, when you try to move 1 foot forward, your guy goes full sprint mode then slams on the brakes all within half a second lol.

I suppose as long as gunplay and zombies movements are smoother, I can get past that, but we'll see.

Thats because they have motion blur and head bob still on for that video. If you play with that on it's always going to look like that.

Yeah I suppose.. I don't even know why they use that ****. To be cinematic, i guess?

venice empire77 · 02-05-2013, 12:35 PM

Yea most likely

Fun game

PaInTeRjOe_BkO · 02-05-2013, 02:16 PM

I don't think it's the head bob and motion blur so much as its the fact that running us always on, unless you want to literally walk everywhere. They just need like a slow stride, and a sprint key like every other game. I saw when he came to the door, he still had to line himself up and walk in, which is totally not what you want to do when a zombie is chasing you. Maybe they need some kind of funneling-type effect for when you come in doors you kinda just get funneled into it. Not only that, they need to make the default FOV more. There's something about the arma FOV that just doesn't look good. Too cluttered. Especially in houses.

Other than that, the interiors looked amazing. Along with the loot spawns, I could just imagine finding a gun behind a bed, or under a bed or against a wall in between a desk and the wall. Just a lot of possibilities with that.

But if they release it, and I still feel like I'm playing Arma 2 when it comes to controls and perspectives, I'm gonna be upset.

Stand Alone is gonna be dope... Also, come play on this PVP server with me.

venice empire77 · 02-06-2013, 10:39 AM

It is 100% head bob and motion blur. Turn it off and it doesn't look a thing like that.

paintballking72 · 02-06-2013, 10:45 AM

Oh I know that. It's the first thing I turn off. Motion blur is the most pointless thing. Buys highend computer...plays with motion blur and can't enjoy the crisp graphics..

Still. The movement are so fast. When he's in the house getting the cans of beans. He's literally trying to move 2 inches forward, and ends up sprinting almost across the room in half a second. Wayyy to fast and unnatural.

Those are the things I was hoping to see fixed in SA. Who knows.. it might still come, but I have my doubts.

Yeah, the motion blur and head bob have an impact but regardless, they didn't make the players controllable. They just need a slower default stride, and make a sprint key that you have to hold. Then it's fixed.

... I'm confused.

You do know you can toggle walk/run, right? Double pressing shift does this.

Also, sprint is default dedicated as double pressing 'w'. I have mine changed so that you have to hold spacebar to sprint.

While I agree the movement is definitely too jerky, you have to understand that you can fix these things drastically with rather simplistic methods. I am hoping they smooth out the movement though.

I know the whole double tap 'w' thing will sprint, and I usually keep 'always run' on, solely because the walking is way too slow. I just think when they release it, make the strides smaller, make the default run slower, almost like how you would with a rifle while still holding it up in the game. Then just make it default hold left shift to sprint.

Movements improve and become a lot less jerky once you get used to keyboard and mouse more at least thats what I have found.. Also when you are running around try 3rd person seems easier to move, plus you get a better FOV

paintballking72 · 02-08-2013, 01:54 AM

I'm used to keyboard and mouse. All I play is PC games. Still way too jerky and unnatural feeling compared to other games. I also play arma mostly in 3rd person unless I am shooting.

PaInTeRjOe_BkO · 02-08-2013, 10:21 AM

I'm a pretty seasoned Arma player, and I play a lot of other pc games. I'm used to the mouse and keyboard. I understand you can increase your fov by pressing + or - or I can switch to 3rd person. However, I don't think we should HAVE to do that. Every other game gets it right, I don't see why they can't. No one's got time to switch to 3rd person view and ****in toggle off the sprint key and line yourself up in a door during a firefight or whilst getting chased by zombies.

WSBALLER · 02-08-2013, 05:24 PM

I guess I just don't notice it as much as you guys, I think there is lots of other issues that are more critical to Dayz. Plus Im not sure how much they could truly correct the issue since they are still running off a modified Arma II engine, though if the Arma III engine is smoother than thats a different story.

Wasteland is DayZ for vaginas.

IncompleteSpork90 · 02-12-2013, 01:04 PM

Lingor definitely made me play this more actively, after 9 months of Chenarus I got tired of it.

I need to try out Fallujah though, I miss playing on the UO servers and spending 8 hours on a mission finding wounded teammates, destroying weapon caches and getting blue on blue fire from a friendly Cobra who saw our DBAL's at night.

PaInTeRjOe_BkO · 02-12-2013, 06:08 PM

When they added the new maps did they add **** to chenarus? Or make more buildings enterable?
