Ello all,
Have you guys heard about this DayZ mod for ArmA II? I’ve been playing a bit of it with one of my friends, and it’s pretty awesome!
Basically, the gist of the game is that you and a whole mess of other survivors are on an island that’s been overrun by a zombie infection. Aaaaand that about covers it, good luck and go make your own fun!
It’s much, much more involved than that of course. It’s actually quite similar to STALKER in many ways, being a vast open wasteland with structures hiding supplies and weapons, and the prospect of that other player you spotted in the distance either being someone you could go to for help in the event of zombie attack, or a bandit waiting for a chance to kill you and take your stuff. It’s a very desolate and tense game, with every player interaction charged with high nerves. It’s quite an experience to go from being shot at by another survivor, quite by surprise, making the decision to leave him to his death at the hands of the zombies he attracted, and drag your beaten-up carcass a mile and a half through dark, blurry forest, guided only by the voice on the other end of your teamspeak connection, as you both vaguely guess where your current location is. Sneaking past zombies, circling around potentially threatning players, challenging unknowns and the horrible feeling of being all out of ammo and meds; It’s a damn thrilling mod, and certainly well-worth looking into. I’d advise playing it with friends though, as it’s a lonely wasteland out there and you’re gonna need all the support you can get.
Oh, and one additional thought: Has anyone noticed how my pixies are much more hardcore than most modern fictional vampires? 😛 /troll
Catch you all later!

So you have played S.T.A.L.K.E.R before? Well always nice to meet a fellow stalker! *Gets attacked by a Bloodsucker*
Worst Bloodsucker I ever encountered was right outside the Agroprom Loner camp in the first STALKER. It just stood outside the window in the middle of a thunderstorm at night, wheezing at me. It didn’t come in though, so I didn’t kill it. Pretty damn creepy though!
Although not as weird as the one time I was in the hills in Yantar, and a Bloodsucker just strolled right past on the path, like it was on the way to the shops. Just… Odd.
If you’re a STALKER fan, I highly recommend the DayZ mod! It feels very much like STALKER, just without the anomalies. Honestly, the biggest danger is really from the other players, and that makes it feel really tense!
Well i would try it, but i dont owned Arma 2 and i do not know if Arma 2 free will work with mods. Speaking of mods, Have you ever heard of a mod called misery? Its for Call of pripyat.
Ok turns out you can’t use mods with ARMA 2 free and i’m not cheap to buy the game oh well.
Haven’t these people ever heard of ‘faith, trust, and pixie dust’? I thought that was a pixie campaign slogan or something…
Actually, she makes a valid point. The different races don’t exactly get along. The hornet guard in the hallway earlier proves it. “Because of the crimes committed by YOUR KIND.” Plenty of racism going on there.
