Day Z

[Dr.Minky]

This looks awesome.

Downloading it, it all looks a bit confusing.

EDIT: This shit is really confusing.

Its confusing at first, I've only just got the hang of it all

Heres all you need to know:

Press shift to walk/run

z to go prone

x to crouch

c to stand up

G to open your menu screen, and right click on an item to use it (e.g. use a bandage if you are bleeding)

Scroll to do lots of things - Change weapon, open doors, climb ladders, heal team mates etc.

And finally press Enter on the num pad on the right of your keyboard to go into third person, this is VERY useful, and then press alt to look around without changing direction (glance over your shoulder to see zombies while running for example)

Pay lots of attention to the bar on your right of the eye and the ear, youre gonna want to be VERY sneaky because you start off with no weapons, so you need to find a place that looks lootable, go prone and crawl inside to look for guns. While prone you have very low sound and visibility, so youre much less likely to be detected and can get very close to the zombies

And when you DO get a gun, don't fire it unless you absolutely have to/know it is safe. If you fire once, you'll alert all the other zombies and then you'll get yourself into even deeper water.

After you have a semi-decent grasp on the game and the controls come meet up with us guys

EDIT: I'm at the north west airfield, the top side of the hangar near the bunker, Reaper said he can come pick me up in a van too but it would be good if someone could come meet up with me before hand anyway to give me some morphine (and possibly do a quick bit of looting in the bunker). Ill be on in a hour and a bit,

Thank you minkey..

..

Did I say I bought the game ? :<

I'm thinking about buying it, it would rock if there was a place to download it free though..

[Dr.Minky]

Thought you meant you'd just downloaded it. Never mind.

You only have to buy OA, which is £15. Its worth it if you ask me, if you can get a pound per hour of gameplay then its worth it in my opinion, hell you see a 1 and a half hour movie for like £7 these days anyway

If anyone wants to come help me, now's a good time :>

Yeah sorry about that

Good news though:

Edited so its accepted by clavus.

More pictures coming up!

I would love to show you car inv but currently server restarted and got all our shit gone. So we will have to wait for a another server restart to fix it.

I ran through Cherno to get to a hospital. Attracted only two zombies. ftw

Cherno ughhhh you would not believe how annoyed I was last night

After dying, I respawned in cherno and straight away found a commando backpack and a M1911. I then went into Cherno, and a guy was shooting meaning there were no zombies about. On the way to the hospital to get some blood for the guys, I climbed up an old factory and looked inside the window and saw a room filled with good weapons like AK's and M16s and stuff. Then my character bugged and slipped off the roof and killed me.

:< :< :< :< :<

Yeah sorry about that

As long as I can end up with that DMR back I'll be happy I think I'll stick to being recon support, since the game insists on breaking my bones and half killing me every time I walk through a bloody door

Whatever happens in cherno, stays in cherno.

YOU WEREN'T THERE MAN!

You weren't there

Ill try and come on this evening (depending on doing this homework), if I do I can rendezvous with anyone along the coast and then we can head north back to base - Maybe pick up some blood bags in Cherno or something too.

I like the new features, especially the spawning without weapons thing, and will give it another try today.

We only need vehicle parts, that is all.

Fuel Tanks and Engine Parts

[Mathematic]

Should I buy this game coming Friday? I don't like buying games at the moment people stop playing them, so let me know.

ARMA II - Operation arrowhead costs 15 $ in the shop,

You should of said last night, I was in a building last night that had like 4 piles of vehicle parts, a tool kit and 5 tires.. I didn't bother picking them up

Yes.

No it doesnt. You can use the Arma 2 demo. The only thing you NEED to buy is OA.

By using the free demo you get low res textures, but it doesn't affect the game in any other way

Ahum. ARMA2FREE you need, not zeh demo

Kickin' in the backseat.

Also we lost our MAIN UAZ due to a bug, so i barricaded our storage vehicles with tank traps. Then our backup UAZ exploded since clavus ran into a wall, had to save everyone who was bleeding and were unconcious.

More pictures of my new nuclear weapons are gonna showup.

Gingers are easy to spot

In loving memory of Frank the second, Clavus and Massi his friend. I got saved by Reaper at 95 blood. I freaking love you man. (no homo).

After the incident Massi and I went off to head back to base. On our way we heard some gunshots, seems like 2 guys looting a chopper crash site, we decide to kill them. Massi shot both while I failed to hit anything with my new gun (damn zeroing). While we came up closer one of the survivors we shot stood up again and shot Massi in the face.

Shit.

Nothing worked for me today. I can be as careful as possible yet still run into fucking walls and make cars explode. Shitnuggets.

And that's why you should not assume someone's dead just because he dropped to the floor.

This game sounds hillarious, I want in.
