Day Z mod for ARMA II

[Vibe]

So, while browsing the internets I stumbled upon this interesting mod. It's getting a lot of heat these days, lots of new forum posts about it so I reckon it's quite new.

Here's some info:

Basically it's a multiplayer zombie survival mod with persistent chars/world.


Now I haven't tried this mod yet, neither do I own ARMA II. However I've seen a few people mention it on cRPG forums and I'm asking if it is any good or even worth buying Arma 2 for it.

A bunch of us CHAOS have been playing it.  It was rather frustrating to install (because of the multitudes of errors with arma 2, the lack of mod support, and the fact its still in alpha) but now that ive got it installed im addicted.

Ive already got about 20+ hours into it and for 25 bucks its not bad.

Dont bother if you have a lower end pc though, even on low my pc lags a bit and ive got decent specs.  The main problem now is all servers are full all the time (that tells you about how addictive the game is)

To minimize the search time for everyone

Full install video in the first link also good guides in there.

Also be aware that you need both, Arma2 and Operation Arrowhead installed to run this properly.

A shame I don't have OA =[

Don't have Arma 2 or OA.. but this one seems to be worthy, judging by how popular it is.

Dammit I have both but my laptop can't even run it. I could barely run Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis

Even though I have no money, I bought OA just to play this 

I created a DayZ channel on Nditions, come play!

Yep, bought ARMA 2 and OA to play this, downloading now

Worst community ever...

I come into the game, I ask a few question and people tell me to shut the fuck up and press ALT + F4.....

then I reply by saying go fuck yourself and I get a 4 hour ban.....

Lol

Either way, we should stick together, I have a feeling this mod requires a team to play well
How can you find your friends even?

I prefer normal ArmA: 2 to Day Z, but Day Z is fun.  Good spin-off of the persistent RP servers that became so popular with ArmA: Armed Assault.

Okay...

Here are my first impressions:

First server I join, I get insulted and banned from for asking a few questions...

Second server I get insulted again and it takes forever to join then it disconnects me...

Third and final server: I join, I manage to get in game after 20 minutes of waiting.
I crawl towards a house for 2 minutes to not be seen by anyone, I go into crouch mode once there and I get shot.

Then, of course I can't simply respawn, I have to disconnect and reconnect.... Why would I be able to respawn without doing that??
I have to wait 20 minutes again then I spawn, my spawn was buggy and I have no gear and am in the middle of the forest.
I see 2 guys running past, I run up to them, note that I have no gear at all. I write "hey, my spawn was buggy, I have no gear at all."
The answer was a shotgun blast to my face.

Really not worth playing in its current state.

Well, survival in a zombie world is harsh. That's why you get friends to help you, not random murderers
