    AKA, someone watched Walking Dead and wanted to make a game about it so they made a mod. Actually looks interesting but $20, $30 if you get the expansion or whatever that thing is. Would anyone be into trying this?
  • If it goes on sale I would.
  • That's basically my feeling as well.
  • Arma has always sounded cool, but playing it is basically the domain of crazy people.
  • I'm lazy. Tell me why.
  • YOUR JUGULAR MAN!

    I haven't seen the show, it's this supposed to be a reenactment or are they just really into it?
  • Basically it's a super-realistic sim people use to plan out real battles, so only crazy people have enough dedication to play it.
  • Just like EVE Online, this is something that I would be fascinating to watch youtube videos about and hear stories, but I have absolutely no interest in playing it.
  • I wouldn't consider myself a super sim guy but I did have a lot of fun with ArmA2 when it first came out. Having a 32 player coop and all. There was a server I frequented where they had many Osprey pilots that their job was only to ferry us from city to city to take out Russians. Then after the cities were taken out we would throw down a smoke grenade and they would pick us up and move on to the next. I love that kind of stuff in FPS's.

    I think I will try out this mod after they worked out some bugs. Looks fun.
  • Criken streamed it on saturday. He and the 4-6 people he was playing with made it look so fucking fun. Context for Criken below.

  • During the two minutes I had a weapon before dying I found out the best part of this mod, that ARMA 2 was clearly not designed with melee weapons in mind. Before you use a hatchet or crowbar you must first reload it. Changing into a third person camera will show your character looking down the sights of your hatchet/crowbar.
  • I just got this thing two days ago. I crawled across half the map on my belly before being trapped and eaten by walkers. It is nightmarish. I also rather love it.
  • Those hopping ones scare the shit out of me. I can't even imagine living long enough to get a helicopter running.
  • It's really hard for me to get out of the mindset of most zombie games where you run up and play whack-a-zombie. Having to Solid Snake around the undead to gather supplies is a change of pace.

    Of course the clunky inventory and equipment set up doesn't help. I hate it when I line up a shot on the sole zombie that won't leave a doorway to goodies, and pull the trigger, only for me to throw a road flare and attract the attention of a bunch of zombies.

    So, I looked up some stuff, and it turns out that server admins can't do what Xavier did. He was straight up using a hack that you need to pay $20-$50 for. Or he wrote the hack himself, but I doubt it.
  • Anyone on here hear about this Dayzgame.com the guy behind dayz is actually making it into a full fledged game. It is supposed to release this Christmas and have a minecraft like operation were he sells you the alpha and you can play that as he updates it over the months. So anyone looking to get dayz now i would just wait for the mod to release because your gonna have to pay for the full dayz game when it releases.

    but anyways i got on today on dayz and it glitched out and i was sea turtling my way across the zombie wastland

  • Does that give you extra protection from zombies?

  • unfortunately no zombies can still aggro you it does however make you harder to hit when other players are trying to shoot you but if you stop you just start falling threw the map so its doesn't really help you out. It is fun to go sea turtling threw elektro listening to a sniper miss shot after shot.
  • Yay, we were able to log out alive for the first time.
  • VICTORY

    IT WILL STAY A BUS
  • nice ever since they took away spawning with a weapon its almost impossible to survive i still haven't found a 2 handed gun since that update only a makarovs and crowbars
  • I still miss my bicycle.
