DayZ Zombie Mod for Arma 2

FlyingIrishMan

TheWarZ alpha started today, was considering paying 25$ to get access to it (along with the full game when its released of course) but after reading all the reviews today not a hope in hell.
Apparently its terrible, it has more bugs than DayZ (considering that was a mod with limited editing capabilities and this is a full game with full engine access thats not good.)
The graphics are decent looking, sound is meant to be okay, but very limited and loops a lot, and that the starting map is so small that its just like a COD game where everyone runs around trying to kill each other with their flashlights (melee weapon in this).

There is also a one hour wait time before you can respawn after death...

Yea, I basically watched psisyndicate and oshiseven stream it (even tho they weren't allowed to) and the respawn takes ages, the movement is still **** and apparantly the game crashes every 5 minutes or so.

With the dayz standalone so close to being released and the prospect of it + new idea's actually making it better than it already is there's no way in hell i'm even getting WarZ anytime soon. :D

I know its not a DayZ video but I'm now as dangerous as I am in game with a sniper rifle :P

Was driving from Vegas to Flagstaff & pulled over at a place that said "Fire a Machine gun" I went to have a look and they had a Barrett on the list. YES PLEASE!! It was unreal! Anyway thought some of you lads might like this.

It does sound a bit low in that video alright, but I seriously doubt its an airsoft version :P

I was in Vegas a year a go and fired an M4, AK47, SAW and a beretta. It really is crazy how easy it is to just walk off the street and be firing one of the above within minutes. Great craic. They don't need to use "lesser" versions of these guns, its easier to get the real deal.

At a guess, I'd imagine its just poor quality sound in that video (its also in the wrong orientation )

EDIT: actually, here is my clip:

Good afternoon lads

I was briefly reading through some of your posts in this thread and it is more than clear to me that we are facing same annoying

enemy - Cheaters.

I am speaking on behalf of dayz players mainly from the Czech Republic and I have to say we are having exactly same problem with

cheaters as everybody else.

Some time ago our frustration with cheaters reached its limit and we decided to set our server with password protection.

Problem was that the amount of active players decreased rapidly and the day-z gaming experience suffered due to lack of "unknown

survivors". Because of this we have recently decided to temporarily unlock the server to see what is the story with cheaters.

It took less than 24 hours and some (now excuse my language) kiddie ****tard started a mortar script.

So here's the proposal. Let's join our forces

Haha no it wasn't an airsoft gun its just the bad audio on the phone. It was as loud as that one. The one I shot was the shorter barrel version but other than that it was the same.

The one in arma is an M107, the newer version, this was the M82A1. Not sure how accurate the sound is in game.

Thats brilliant.

Just read off his twitter there that loot will be in drawers, cupboards, shelves and tables now rather than just scattered on the ground. I like that a lot.

With a whitelist and lock they do.

Rocket has said it's going to be based on the ARMA 2.5 engine, whatever that means. Basically modified ARMA 2 code to make it, primarily, more secure.

Its a cross between take on helicopter,arma3,arma 2 and something else iirc

being honest i'm happy it being released on arma2 (or 2.5) The game has being around for a long while now. They know what needs to be done (or least i hope they do) in terms of current bugs and hacks that the dayz mod surfaced. In mind i believe we can get a polished product upon release.

Locking it down is going to piss off the normal Arma 2 userbase but they hate Dayz anyway.

If it wasnt for hipster Arma players you wouldnt have Dayz :pac:

I would be happy if the standalone comes with the editor but unlilkely if the game is locked down Some scripted missions in Dayz would be awesome.

I seriously doubt there is going to be any content from arma 3 implemented in to standalone. Arma 3 content is being apprehensively kept for its release in December. That's why both projects are being developet pretty much independently. What i heard from my mate who works for BIS was that the standalone DAYZ is going to be closed A2 engine with extra zombie apocalyptic features never introduced in current dayz code by rocket, They are going to implemend better clouds from take on helicopter (seriously that's the last improvement i care about lol ).

I would be happy if the standalone comes with the editor but unlilkely if the game is locked down Some scripted missions in Dayz would be awesome.

I am affraid you are right. Open editor is the main cause for 99% of the mallicious script. Back in times us hipsters who play Plain arma2 were untouched by cheaters because all the kids were not interested in arma at all.
