The animations seem better. Hopefully the hacking wont be so bad.

Items spawned serverside? Yes please.

Finally we'll have a hack rate similar to other games.

I'll take it with a grain of salt though. The shittiness of that engine is the real reason their developers were imprisoned in Greece.

I dunno about you guys but running around in my underwear in the zombie apocalypse is awesome...I guess I'll have to hack to have my wolf tail and ears though.

Was really hoping it would be on a new engine. Hopefully they worked out most of the bugs atleast.

[Aviva]

it is a new engine, they built it from the ground up.

Nope. New engine is based on "Take on Helicopters" engine, have some features from "Arma 3" and few changes from Rocket (like FPS, hacking and other stuff). You can play "Take on Helicopters" to check your ingame FPS rate, + 5-10 and will see your DayZ standalone FPS.

^this, Take on Helicopters has done a good job on the "soft" shadows and lighting. Things look less "brighter" and more natural. Hopefully the dynamics on the helicopters will improve!

From dev blog: Our lead programmer, Ondřej Španěl, continues his work on redeveloping our server architecture. Contrary to some who say DayZ will be releasing with no anti-hack mechanisms, one of the key things we are doing with development is entirely redeveloping how the engine works.

[Jack]

Yeah, server engine but not game engine itself.
