ArmA II / Day Z Mod

[MediEval Profile]

I am buying ArmA II specifically for this mod. It's a zombie mod, and from the hype going around, this is by far the best zombie game ever made. You have 50 people to a server. You're not just against zombies, but you're against the other people. All fighting to survive. You have to eat, drink, sleep. This stuff can only be found in towns, but that's where the biggest concentration of zombies are. You have to scrounge for your own ammo, weapons. You can find parts to repair vehicles/helicopters. See another player on the server? Do you welcome him and trade some supplies, or do you say fuck it and put two in his head and take everything he has?

For those of us that played Left 4 Dead, I think this would be AMAZING!! Let me know if any of you are going to pick it up too. You have to buy ArmA II and it's expansion, which is $30 for the two on Steam right now. The mod is only in Alpha, but it still looks awesome.

Yeah, I watched a video on that a bit ago. I love the idea behind it. I'm considering buying ArmA ll because it, as well.

Do it. It will be awesome if we can get a group together and run through this. It's open world. Not mission style like Left 4 Dead.

It has it's own in game voice channel as well, when you talk, your characters mouth moves. It allows you to talk to other people in the world too. Pretty cool.

I'm heading home from work in about 15 minutes and will be buying it from Steam then

Hopefully they are making this for Arma 3 also. Bohemia Interactive is releasing an Alpha to mod developers so they can have their mods ready to go when 3 comes out.

Pretty cool they are that open and forward thinking with their game.

Id love to play this.

If Arma 2 goes on sale on Steam or elsewhere let me know.

On Steam now ARMA II is $19.99

Does anyone know if you need the expansion packs to play this?

ARMA II: Combined Operations is $29.99
Includes 2 items: ARMA II, ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead

Get the Private Military Company expansion to have HD textures on the zombies and other classes. That's what I supposedly heard about it. Sprocket, a branch of Bohemia, has special deals on Bohemia's products like Arma. I bought Combined Ops and British Forces for $15 from them.

What's up guys. I already owned this game and just got the dayz mod and am looking for other ax guys to team up with.. It's a lot of fun..get the 1.7 alpha. Hey rhino can u set up a ts channel for dayz?

[milkman29 Profile]

Oh and for those of u that never played the game that the mod does it start u off with a makarov some ammo and some food then it's up to you to survive. It's awesome cause u can find some good gear in the game but if someone kills u u lose everything so it adds to the realism

Oh yea the area of play is 220 square miles!

[zraupp Profile YIM]

Lets go to the The Airfield !

[milkman29 Profile]

Z u play?

[Till Lindemann Profile YIM]

How realistic is this game? The mod would be cool but only if you had your core group of survivors and 1 maybe 2 lone gunmen also trying to survive but hunting the core group in the process

[milkman29 Profile]

Pretty realistic. Most servers handle up to 60 players. Plus u have the zombies in the world. As far as guns go they are modeled after the real life and the world includes very actuate bullet drop and it's pretty much one or two shot depending where ur hit and ur dead. Zombies attackes are a little more forgiving but can leave u bleeding until u bandage up. It really is an amazing mod.

[zraupp Profile YIM]

Z u play?

no.

EDIT: YES !

[Abe1 Profile]

If you aggro a lot of zombies or you feel like making a lot of mess in town without caring for ammo or noise, just lead them inside a house. Be sure to be at least a few feet away from any of the walls. Zombies go into slow walking motion when they are inside. One headshot with the makarov per zombie.

[Till Lindemann Profile YIM]

looks interesting. i'm assuming that with the modding tools that you can change settings within the mod

[milkman29 Profile]

Yes u can although if u change any dayz mod settings u may get kicked from the servers but u can make ur own mods n scenarios. There is a lot of possibility but what I am waiting for is arma 3. With its new engine it is supposed to be more streamlined and since it will be coming with the mod tools i think it's gonna be amazing

[TheSnuggleBunny Profile]

I'm playing this now... I joined a server earlier and saw a guy in there named Lindeman... not sure if it was you or not Til, but if you're playing, hop on TS..

[Till Lindemann Profile YIM]

not me. I'll be Till Lindemann or TillLindemann or if limited name characters apply, jimbobtil

[MediEval Profile]

I'm headin' home from work now. I'll hop on TS a bit later tonite. We'll want to get on a server that is daytime. Not fun playing on a nite server. Also, I haven't died since I started playing a week ago. I have some nice stuff...kind of.

IF I DIE WHILE HELPING YOU GUYS, I'M GONNA BE PISSED!!!!!

Snuggles Kill him when he is not looking !


Just kidding .

[Till Lindemann Profile YIM]

alright, total cost to play this? i'm liking the idea of being bandits and am totally in favor of cannibalism in this post apoctalyptic world

[MediEval Profile]

$30 on Steam. You have to get the Combined Operations that contains the base game and Operation Arrowhead

[SturmVogel Profile]

I just downloaded the mod and it hot-mikes the shit out of me every server I get into. takes 5 mins of mashing caps lock to get the mic icon to go away. and some times it locks me in group channel.

has any one else had this issue? its a great mod. but just a while ago when this glitch happened to me all the zombies and loot dissapeared and some one said it was because that I VOIP'ed the server or something??? idk what the hell I even did...

[milkman29 Profile]

Check under options then cOntrols and see if deleting the bind for push to talk. Idk just an idea I never had this happen to me

[SturmVogel Profile]

okay i just got kicked twice now for VOIP'ing the channel.
the god damn thing hot-mikes the instant i join ANY server. remapping the keys dosent help.
this headset is just evil. im leaving it unplugged. FFS

[NIGHTMARE Profile]

Anyone else have a problem with the download page coming up on the dayz website?

[milkman29 Profile]

What problem ? Can u describe it better?

[NIGHTMARE Profile]

Just comes up saying It cannot establish a connection to the server at us.armafiles.info. everytime I click on the USA mirror.

Didn't know if there was a different place to download it from or what not.
