      I think I just came

      DayZ Mod

      A 225 km2 open world
      post-soviet state and one of the areas hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few who have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population, now infected with the disease. Go Solo, team up with friends or take on the world as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive.



      Permadeaths. You die, you lose everything, your entire character. This looks awesome.

      Looks like a bunch of jack-offs pointing pistols at each other.

      It'd be cool if you could start your own clans and create safe houses together, then network with other places like stores and shit... set up a post apocalyptic infrastructure. Like in Left 4 Dead they got spray paint telling you where to find the safe-house, that would be cool.

      I like the perma-death idea though, I wish more games were like that.

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.

      It looks promising and it's only in alpha stage. I might try it at some point. We should make a DV group.

      The idea is good... but it looks kinda silly right now... especially with a huge group like that... that doesn't feel like surviving at all... more like hunting...

      The character movements seem exactly like in HL2... which is funny..

      I don't think that video does the game justice. This guy has made a great series about the game:

      Yeah, well that is what they do. Not the whole stores thing afaik, at least not yet. But you would naturally separate in to your own groups or go solo.
      You can then make a house with them etc.

      Yeah I agree with all that. But I think this was just at the start of the game. It would be natural for some of the people to get pissed off or desperate for supplies etc. and start killing some of the people in the group.
      So it will end up with little groups of people.

      Oh i totally forgot that it's permadeath... Then this will be fun for trollers... get behind the group and act like you are a watching their back... then when they get into a fight you just shoot them in the back... lol.

      It looks good. I think I may get it sometime. The DV group sounds like a good idea too if a few people were interested.

      This game looks so cool, always wanted a zombie survival game with decent survival elements. I'm getting a better PC for gaming early next month so I'll probably end up getting this mod. Definitely be up for a DV team.

      We should definitely make a clan.

      Irken and I have played and teamed up on a few servers last night. Was pree awesome. I found an AKM and shot some dudes. We looted a couple towns until I got sniped outside a village while we were being attacked by zombies. Lol.

      ShockWave's currently downloading it ;D

      EDIT: The survival elements in this game are pretty hardcore. You have to eat and drink regularly, and maintain blood levels. If you get shot or attacked you will bleed and need to bandage yourself. You can do blood transfusions and take morphine and pain killers to stabilize yourself.

      Weapons do realistic damage so if you get hit once you get disoriented easily. You can also catch infection from the zombies.

      Additionally you have to maintain your temperature, or you'll freeze to death. So you have to build fires etc. And at night you can't see SHIT, so you'll have to move slowly or find a flashlight.

      The map is 225 square kilometers of awesome, a whole country. And it's seamless. Get on IRC if you're interested in joining the DV clan.

      Well there goes my summer.

      But yes, I'm definitely up to this. I want to be something like a tactical scout - someone who takes point in the group and determines the best and worst places to go. Oh, and it's finished downloading after 50 minutes. Now just to install the mod

      You need both ArmA II and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead.

      You can buy both on steam for $30, in a bundle called ArmA II: Combined Operations. It discounts the total by $10.

      Good fucking thing I already bought the base game.

      Oh well, I might as well spend some time dicking around with that, it seems like there's a lot to it, and a lot to learn and get used to.

      It only makes the characters look better from what I've heard. So you could probably just deal with that for a while and decide whether you need the arrowhead one too, I'm sure it wouldn't detract form the game too much.

      Might need to hold off on building my computer until tomorrow
      Unless more people tell me my build is good to go in the next couple of hours. No one's responding though. We'll see how it goes.

      So I can run the mod without the expansion? Well damn, I've been wasting my time

      I have installed the game now. I just need to download and install the mod, but I have a question. How am I supposed to find you guys if I just spawn at a random location in a 225 km2 open world when I start the mod?

      We're going to use ventrilo to talk with voice. There isn't a clan chat built into the game, and it would be tedious to chat in text in a different application while trying to play the game, so voice is the best thing really.

      Very slowly
      While trying not to get bit!

      Kinda failed on my build here, couldn't get screen or power supply. Hopefully I'll still get up and running tomorrow.
