DayZ
« on: July 21, 2012, 06:40:47 pm »

Many of you may have noticed people playing a lot of ArmaII lately.  This is because of a mod called DayZ, which puts your player into a zombie apocalypse.  You start on a beach in a mountainous area of Russia, with nothing except a bandage and a flashlight, and you have to scavenge guns, ammo, food and water in order to survive.  Once your character dies in DayZ, you have to start again afresh.  Zombies are not the only threat, you also have to look out for other players, they can be extremely dangerous (they want your beans).

All you need is ArmAII Operation Arrowhead, but I recommend you get combined operations as the mod will run a lot smoother with it.  The ArmA Games are also pretty good fun if you're into sims or realistic shooters, but the controls can be a lot to get around.

ArmAII Combined Operations/OpArrow are currently on special-sale on steam. Nows the time to buy.

Anyone who hasn't yet played this game is missing the GOTY of any year.
Definitely the most immersive games that I've ever played.

Here's a few videos of what will/can happen to you the first few times:

Where would we be meeting for this, because I'm currently way up in the north of the map and it'll probably be a long run/drive to meet up with everyone.

I'm NW of NW Airfield.

No doubt we'll have people coming in as new spawns, we'll just meet up in small clumps from wherever we are (I may be able to get use of a vehicle from another group to pick everyone up), and just gravitate towards each other.

Personally, I'll just head towards this pond here: http://dayzdb.com/map#5.021.035
Considering I make it that far. :D

So I was just running around the north of the map on the server I usually play on and I found a vehicle camp with trucks and such, all loaded with the best weapons you can find in the game and tools like nv goggles, rangefinders, gps and even ghillie suits.
If anyone's interested in getting some sweet gear ask me on xfire or something.

I'll play today and try to go North or something. Maybe I'll go to that pond Ati, though it looks REALLY far from the coast.
