Day Z

[Cowboy1600]

Dang, I've been playing the Arma II demo and have to say, it sucks.

First mission running up off the beach. Creep up slowly, using houses for cover. Peek around corner, scan for enemy, nothing there. Move up to next house slowly, look around, can't see....oh I'm dead. Where is he? Tell my troops I'm hit....they are going to rescue me....waiting, waiting, waiting, tell them I'm dying. They're on their way! Waiting, waiting, waiting. Scan around look for the dude who shot me...no where to be seen....still waiting.....Esc, Restart Mission.

Rinse, repeat.

I'm yet to shoot a bad guy yet have died about 7-8 times thus far.

And the controls are horrible although that's something which will improve with practice I suppose, like all games.

Single player ARMA sucks tbh, look at joing a virtual unit and or download some better missions

[bozodos]

yeah Arma and Arma 2's campaigns really SUCKED compared to the original Operation Flashpoint ones

Still a noob @ Dayz, 5 lives later, have only ever seen one other player lol and found a weapon once.

I gave up on the sneak around thing so now I just run like a kunt into a city and look for shit.

After a while the game will glitch and you lose all the zombies and possibly your life

The patches fixed a number of major campaign issues. Also, you can alter the difficulty specifically by changing the accuracy of enemies as well as allies. Theres a bunch of stuff to make it easier.

Usually you send your troops ahead of you and stay back with the sniper. You have to really use the squad commands to to keep everyone together and alive.

I'm glad people are buying Arma2 just for DayZ. Arma3 comes out in October and its only a matter of time before the next DayZ pops up. Will be excited to see what the engine can do. Heaps of customisables this time

[Madaz]

Word is dayz might become a stand alone game, can't be bothered linking as I'm on my phone but just Google dayz stand alone

[zebra]

I heard that too.

Be interesting if it does

[Damit]

it is confirmed stand alone - http://dayzgame.com/

also for anyone who may be interested an Aussie group is setting up there own server and hive which will be password protected to stop all hackers and server hoppers and will be based in AUS - will provide details once up

[zebra]

Any idea on a release date?

Looking forward to a non hacked server, but dosent everyone cry when servers are passworded?

it will run on its own hive and will start with 1 server more to be added depending on how full it gets and is designed for Aussie groups and players which will for players on there own be good and allow for some constant struggle between groups for gear and vehicles

only downside is because it runs on its own hive your player wont go onto other servers
