Lesbian Dad 555 Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) We all like zombies right? And I am sure you've heard of Arma ... probably one of the most intense combat sims available. Well, I myself am not too much into military sim stuff Arma offers but, when I saw the Day Z zombie mod and heard some people talking about it on a podcast, I knew I had to try it.So anybody already have Arma or some people want to give it a try with me?http://dayzmod.com/about.php[media=] Day Z features such things like:Persistent Server - Fed up of spending so many hours working towards a goal or finding supplies and then the server crashes on you losing all your progress? Well with the DayZ server all stat's are saved to our external database so where ever you log off, whatever you have will be keep on you next time you come back in. This means you can spend however long you want doing what you want to do. As long as you don't die during the night!Hunting and Survival - Eating and drinking is a core part of gameplay, you can tell if you need something by a very subtle GUI which doesn't effect the atmosphere, and if you don't fulfil those needs. You'll die. Wandering animals can killed and gutted (with the right tools) to gain access to their meat which can be eaten so you live longer but also to gain blood. For once these animals actually have a use.Custom Medical System - ArmA II's magic medic feature is a thing of the past with this medical system - If you get shot, expect to bleed and to lose blood until you're bandaged up. Lost too much blood? Then expect to fall over unconscious. If you get shot in the leg then you won't be able to walk until you get morphine so you can man up. Pain is also a factor taken into consideration so without pain killers after taking an injury you'll continue to shake. This is medical at it's best!Average life expectancy per play: 30 minutes Edited June 28, 2012 by Lesbian Dad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salv 199 Posted June 28, 2012 I've been wanting to play it myself. Waiting to see if it goes on sale I know of a few people that do play together though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElectronicDrug 7496 Posted June 28, 2012 Is Arma II all you need, or do you also need some of the expansions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lesbian Dad 555 Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Is Arma II all you need, or do you also need some of the expansions?You need Arma 2 and the expansion, Arrowhead aka Arma II: Combined Operations which Steam has for $30.http://store.steampo...d.com/sub/4638/I should also note that the mod installation is a whole different process, just like with any other Source mod.

Tristan. 1053 Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) PRO TIP: Kill everyone except your friends. Everyone is out to be the best and they will back stab anyone to do so.PRO TIP#2: When in a firefight don't make slow movements. Either rush at them and move side to side or try your best to flank them.PRO TIP#3: Never ask if anyone is friendly in Cherno due to obvious reasons.PRO TIP#4: If you have no clue where you are in the world, every time you log in it says where you are at the bottom right of your screen. It goes away really fast so be sure to look for it.PRO TIP#5: Drag zombies into buildings because they walk and it's 10x easier to shoot them. Exceptions are aircraft hangers.Zombies are a nuisance but the real problem is other players.

Phoenixx 75 Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I've been playing with Polloloco, dead silent and specialbrownies on CA1 everynight for the past few days that i have been playing the game theyve been great help with helping me understand the game more as to what cities you should stay away from if youre new & where to find good items. I find the game to be alot of fun. As to the running around part its not so bad because you can go through cities and find more items. I reccomend you use a map until you find one in the game its definetly helps out alot. Edited June 29, 2012 by Phoenixx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
