Windmill 1521 Posted May 21, 2012 So, if you have no idea what Arma 2 is, it's essentially a modern military simulator placed in Eastern Europe (and Afghanistan in the stand-alone expansion Operation Arrowhead). Now, there's a mod that has recently come out called DayZ. It is a persistent-world zombie-survival mod in a 225km^2 chunk of space. You find food, water, arms and ammunition, medical equipment (bandages, blood bags, morphine, etc), automotive parts, binoculars, compasses-- the list kind of goes on and on. All the while you are trying not to disturb the hordes of zombies that hang around mainly in the cities (where supplies are also most prominent) as the game detects how visible you are and how much noise you make. Not only that, but you have to be paranoid as fuck if you see any other play-- sometimes they're friendly but more often they're little fuckers. There's a sort of karma system in the game where if you kill another player it makes you a free target, so if anyone else kills you within a certain amount of time that person will not lose any karma in the process. So, ya, it can be pretty fun.Oh, and if you die you stay dead and have to start a new character, losing all your items.It's still in alpha so there are still a lot of bugs. 2 Tristan. and jc4x4 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windmill 1521 Posted May 21, 2012 I enjoy it. Especially in the DayZ mod. Since the release of DayZ, Arma 2 sales have increased by like 500% lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shiny Kneecaps 37 Posted May 21, 2012 I remember when Arma 2 came out, I was gonna buy it but realised they released specifically for people to mod it. Now that good mods are rolling out Im more interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MOFLSTOMP 899 Posted May 21, 2012 Absolutely loving DayZ, although the one downside is that 90% of the non-beta servers are completely full at all times, at least they were the last time I played. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even servers that are not in the beta patch.On another note, we should all try to meet up and make a big ass group of bandits and terrorize a server.

Windmill 1521 Posted May 29, 2012 The mod looks pretty cool, but I don't really want to shell out 30 bucks just to play a buggy-ass Arma 2 mod.A lot of other people have been doing just that. But, a lot of people aren't exactly intelligent consumers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
