DayZ Mod for ARMA II

    Yeah, I see what you're saying but it was working for me. I was using it close range, one shot to the head. It works well is you're like ninja. But if I was surrounded by zombies or bandits I would switch to my revolver and run.

    Welp, after discovering I need to have my eyes checked, I have tried this mod the last few days .. and it's getting addicting. Last night, I died due to my own stupidity, ran for 1,5 hour to find my corpse, only to die again 20 minutes later thanks to my brain thinking it was a brilliant idea to use my Enfield rifle in the middle of an open field and attracting every zombie within a miles radius. Now I'm being extra careful (again) and got myself some fine loot from bodies found at the edges of PvP-active areas, though I am too scared to use the frag grenades I found, since zombies loves players making noise.

    Barns also have bugged AI-pathing, if you want to rack up some zed kills.

    And here's another Day Z map, complete with icons showing where things are : http://teamfackin.com/moocow/dayz/map/

    I found an AK once, died before I was able to use it. If you find something cool, just use it It's the best advice I can give! Throw that grenade somewhere, see what happens!

    The chances of encountering a situation where it's useful (guy stuck in a corner of a room or something) are pretty slim! + someone is likely to kill you before that happens anyways

    Word. It's a bit like IRL, you shouldn't just stockpile stuff. You gotta live a little.

    Since you're all actively playing this, any chance someone could be a huge favour and take some screenshots of the ruined orthodox church in Arma II? I don't have the game and I need screenshots from multiple angles as reference. This is the one I mean;

    Be very grateful!

    Ideally I could do with some shots of the model itself but I don't know how you would do that...

    Rarely any good loot there

    i think arma2 comes with an editor, that you can look at stuff with.

    Also Stary Sobor and the area around is some high level pvp danger zone, I only go up there when I'm all geared up and with nothing else to do.

    Managed to loot an AKM with ammo at the northern airfield, in the cover of night. The barracks had a bench in the hallway, making it a one-way passage to anyone not aware of the Vault button

    New update coming soon: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10353

    Plus new sounds and animations.

    Does anyone know when the beta patch for Arma 2 goes live? I don't really wanna mess with all that stuff, just let Steam do the job...

    Took a break now anyways since the mod was somewhat broken, servers running 1.6 and 1.7 as well, such a hassle. I'll just wait for a bit and drop back in.

    Reading that hurt my head, also missed opportunity to say "I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger" 4/10

    You have no taste and/or havent played.

    Update (1.7.1) is now out ... and here's the changelist: http://cdn.armafiles.info/changelog.txt

    And Rocket really went with this:

    * [NEW] DayZ: Now with additional cruelty!. Spawn with only a bandage, painkillers, and a torch.

    weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, bandits lining the coast shooting new players all day every day then...

    The new patch ruined it for me (before the hotfix, so I assume it's semi-fixed now with 1.7.0.1 )

    Had all "gadgets", super cool camo sniper suit, shotgun, bloodpacks, you name it. But the zombies, QQ... They spotted me from a km away and I soon found myself out of ammo.

    I also blew myself up with a frag grenade and had 28 hp left (no shit). Then it was a slow struggle until the zeds finally got to me.

    Oh well, good times. Perhaps I should revisit my tent up in the hills but it's probably already been raided... there were like 4 tents nearby. xD Seems like everyone goes to the far north, left of the dam Finding a good spot is really hard, saw something in the patchnotes that it's easier to place it now? Good!

    Walking up the stairs in a castle ruin was a painful experience. Especially when you have no painkillers, morphine, and you somehow slowly climb the stairs while prone-rolling up the steps ... only to find a zombie halfway up, and YOUR SHOT IS BLOCKED BY A GOD DAMN LEDGE, AGGROING THE ZOMBIE AND ... well I was dead anyway, meh.
