DayZ Mod for ARMA II

Got the game too !

Absolutly cool gameplay, but meh, those zombies running like flash gordon ? And spotting you from 2km ?

Hope they'll add a var for servers that want choose their speed.

I think they should run a bit slower but be able to take more damage (atleast that is what I thought the last time I played). If they just ran more slowly they would lose some danger.

Will probably give this a go again soon to see what's been changed.

Yeah, i prefer also slow zombie. They should only walk and be stupid.

Instead of having the feeling of being surrounded by zombies hordes i just have the feeling that the game is unfair and unbalanced.

I would love zombies behavior like in NoMoreRommInHell, where you can easily beat 2 ou 3 zombies, but can't defeat a larger group de of zombies.

That is true fear.

I think the strafing is just a bit unfair, gameplay needs to be somewhat predictable to be fun. Cause and effect. I need to know where I'm supposed to aim to avert the danger. Now I'm just waiting until they start hitting me otherwise I just end up wasting ammo, at least for those crazy runner types.

Yup same, I wait until they are really close unless they happen to be running in a straight line (very rare).

he complains about them copying dayz, but what.. did they just whip up an entire game in 3 months? great reporting as usual from pc gamer, but i'm not sure i like how PC Gamer have suddenly appeared on the scene with their gaming reviews, it's like they are just copying kotaku or RPS or the escapist, it seems liek they are jumping on the bandwagon and i'm not really a fan of such underhand and unoriginal formats such as internet game journalism. they should do something original like make a place where people can post their holiday pictures and catch up with friends. maybe they could call it PlaceLook.

Well, they could've staged few screenshots like that in less than 3 months

yeah you've swayed my opinion they totally did that. those cunts.

When are you reviewing this rick

i've already played this shit to death.

one time i was in elektro, i saw some idiot running around like he wasn't in the middle of a zombie apocalypse so i started stalking him. i followed him out into some fields, and like a bad loony tunes cartoon i was running between bushes and hiding everytime he turned around. i managed to get within 2 metres of him and he turned around. i shot him point blank in the face with a shotgun and he dropped like a sack of shit. so i go to open his backpack and steal his beans, but apparently i didn't kill him, so there i am dragging him along, rofling like a chucklefuck when he wakes up, breaks free from my grip, blood spurting out of his face, panicking like a child. so i shot him again, this time actually killing him. i felt really bad about it but he deserved it for even daring to go into elektro alone during the daytime. i stole his beans and a can of pepsi and left his body for the undead.

nice video! shows what kind of awesome (and funny) narrative that can emerge from gameplay like this.

is there a way to make the controls less cancerous? so it's less like having AIDS and more like playing a game?

The one thing that has put me off of this mod whilst watching videos is how terrible the movement looks. Of course it isn't them ods fault as it uses ARMA, but Jesus it is like you are wearing drainpipes on your legs.
