    Finally got it to work and found a server, after wandering around some empty village for ages i found a rifle in the top of a barn but disconnected before I could pick it up and it wasn't there when I connected again. Went outside the barn looked around a bit more and suddenly zombies just spawn out of thin air right in front of me, maybe im just bad or idk but it seems to be almost impossible to kill them up close cause their so fast. I ran down a road bleeding for 5 minutes with 6-8 zombies behind me and then died.

    2nd time round i found a house with food and a crossbow, going well

    My strat is to face tank the zombies until they stand still, and then shoot them in the head. It's not the best.

    Nah on my first try zombies ate the shit out of me and my guy didn't get infected. Also on my current character I found a church, shot up some zombie monks which seemed to alert a horde of yet more zombie monks and ran the fuck away, managed to climb up a crane to save myself lol, I hope they cant climb ladders .

    to anyone thats playing. How long do zombies chase you for? is it forever? After i climbed away from them some seemed to wander off but it seems that if you just run they will follow you forever.

    Finally got the game started and ran around semi-randomly for a few hours, now have all the bandages, water and food I could ever need. A winchester and M1911 and a cool looking backpack. Only seen other survivors twice so far. Currently logged out around castle zub if we want to do a survivor meatup.

    This shit is great.

    e:welp, on playing again I got rolled back or something as I only have a revolver and a CZ now. AND IT'S NIGHT

    e2: welp, just figured out how to use the backpack

    Running round in the dark no idea where I'm going for several hours, manage to find an M16A1. A few minutes later I go to press the options button except I miss and hit the respawn button.

    "Kransthow has been killed"

    "YOU ARE DEAD"




    I'm going to go somewhere and cry for a bit.

    I would take some screenshots but I don't think you'll enjoy pictures of pitch black landscape with creamy sky.


    this little series gives you a good feel for what it's like.

    We should probably choose a main server for us to try and use so we can meatup more easily.

    Zombies are completely useless i swear, the last 3 times ive been killed are by players . Most recent one i managed to find a school that for some reason was full of good weapons, only to then instantly die, didn't even hear a gun shot

    All the servers are constantly full atm. Makes it hard to play together. I would host one, but my box runs linux. A server open for all but who always lets fhc joins would be sweet.

    For just trying out the game don't worry which server to choose - gear and location is saved globally.

    So, I tried this mod out.

    Was fun and terrifying at the same time.

    Managed to down a few zombies and pick up some useless things, I dunno why. I'm a packrat, what can I say.

    Snuck around a city with a mosque, saw a decent vantage point, snuck up to a factory building and climbed the ladder.

    Got to the top, and took a few bullets to the chest.

    At least I unloaded 6 rounds into the guy before I died.

    Not yet possible to host private servers (except I think UO who have a resident BIS dev). The 'mod' requires custom built exe's, external database links, and runs across multiple servers at BIS. The dev has said he's not willing to release them yet but hasn't ruled it out in future. Meanwhile the rest of us are experimenting with the likes of ArmA2net and ArmA2Uplink to provide Multiplayer persistence between server sessions and learn some of the lessons about clientside AI spawning that DayZ uses to reduce server load. We've got a proof of concept in place, but it's nowhere near as advanced as DayZ yet.

    As tech demo though it's brilliant - having achieved this much with ArmA2, the possibilities for persistent, cross server and cross session warfare in ArmA3 are very exciting.

    You can however contact the devs and host a server for them. Which was what I was referring to. It has some requirements though, only thing I can't fill atm is windows. Or rather don't want to fill, I have my server set up nicely with ubuntu and would prefer not redoing torrent, web hosting and mumble server.

    So, the setting takes place in the USA. Might give it a shot.

    Never even played ARMA 2. Is it on Steam?
