Day Z (ARMA 2 Zombie Mod)

what a epic night! i played till freaking 1am!!

Here is what happened. i respawned all the way in cherno and made my way north and met up with manble along the way and we teamed up together and followed the power lines going north east towards the damn where the helicopter is.

we avoided most towns along the way and came across a couple of zombies. one i aggroed that split us up briefly. i took the zombie down and met up with manble again who waited for me but could have left me(cheers).

We managed to end up where the helicopter is which took us an hour or two to reach their!

we waited for Marker to join us there and he came with a couple of other guys in a jeep!

manble had the final missing piece to fix the helicopter so hefixed it and we was off!! but it had low fuel so we all decided to take the jeep and go to the airfield nearby and get some fuel.

We reached their and took as much as we can and came back to the helicopter to refuel.

after that we went flyed back to the airfield with he heli as it was still not much fuel so we went their and refueled the heli as much as we can.

LOADS of zombies just popped up near us and we moawed them down! all of us with rifles so it was cool :)

after refueling we flies around the major cities of the map and basically killed everything that moved around the big cities with the machine guns attached to the helicopter lol.

Was the best night i have had on DayZ. soo good i was up till 1am when i normally goo to bed at 11 during the weekdays! was well worth it!

Last nights antics :)

Quite an interesting night anyway, we managed to find a second heli and get that secured. Then Jonney caught a cold so we did the most humane thing and executed him on a hill (fireing squad style) to stop the infection spreading to the rest of us.

After that we sorted out the heli's for take off but then it turned out jonney had come back from the dead and spawned again on his corpse, so to be sure he was dead i put a couple more rounds into his head killing him off once again.

We then proceeded to do a couple of victory flyovers across the main cities and picked up some fellow ocuk'ers. Sadly one of the choppers went down due to some unfortunate lag spike or something killing most of the passengers although marker survived briefly before bleeding out.

Luckily the other chopper was landed and saved so hopefully that will survive for another nights antics.

I was in teh second chopper when it went down by the way :(

I'm glad this mod is getting so much attention its really well deserved, I'm going to be jumping back on in-between D3 sessions again soon!

It's amazing as long as there are a couple of you in a group.

For an alpha build, it is pretty amazing.

I've had a few plays on it, and frankly scared myself silly. I love the overall dynamic - very simple. Most of the time not much happens, but it is the bleakness and tension from the anticipation....it drains you.
Get some fantastic moments, hiking up the side of a forested hill, to emerge at the top, amongst some old castle ruins. The rain is clearing, sun is started to set, and mist hangs over trees in the valleys. Magical. Except for the oppressive sense of dread that pervades everything (helped by the music of course).

I really want this! Not sure whether to wait for it to come out standalone though

I think it will be a while before it comes out standalone though. It will get released for Arma3 (2013) and then probably from there released standalone on the Arma3 engine.

Do you have a copy of Arma2:CO already, if so just download the DayZ alpha and get playing! I would highly recommend.

Although the game has quite a few bugs at the moment, the game is a lot of fun to play, especially with a group of friends at your side. As for the standalone thing, I would say it would be quite a while before this happens tbh. It was only really brought up recently =[ - I am inclined to agree with Nocode - it is most likely that the game will be transitioned to the ArmA3 engine first when that launches, and then a standalone game - I can't wait for that though - no more of that hatchet reloading XD

Yep, I'm absolutely loving playing DayZ, even if my current PC doesn't play it all that well.

I believe the current cheapest place to get Arma2:CO is via Bohemia Interactive Studios (BIS) online store here or Steam, either way it's £19.99.

I think they're planning to make it standalone when it uses the Arma 3 engine in 2013
