Day Z mod for ARMA II

[Bjord]

What about setting up a big camp with guard towers and barricades, and then split up into smaller teams. Would also be useful if you always reported your location so you wouldn't shoot each other by mistake.

Of course big bases are impossible to defend 24/7 so eventually that'd fail. But if you find an extremely well-hidden place it might work.

You can construct in DayZ right? I know you can as a commander in Arma II.

Seems like we are split into EU and NA. Most of us NA tend to play in the same group/server. We've even joined up with a mount and musket group!

Rufio is also right. I think we had 2 or 3 friendly fire situations between squads yesterday when we were keeping stary on lock last night. Big groups need a decent amount of coordination and communication in between groups.

Edit: You can't construct so much as repair. There are plenty of downed choppers and vehicles around on the map that require a number of items put into it in order to get the vehicle repaired. You can't really construct any independent structures though sadly.

Ex-Soviet states are weird for sure.I mean, matches are rarer than Guns.

DMR is the best sniper.

Seriously this. 300-600 meter zoom in range and 20 shot clips about as common as makarov mags in all military spawns. It also just looks very cool.

Seriously this. It also just looks very cool.

Just found one of those from someone's tent in the middle of the wilderness. The tent also countained AK-74 kobra and another AK rifle, but didn't have space for those.

DMR works with Night Vision too, which makes it über-awesome.

Today I was playing and found 3 DMR's and a m249 SAW, didn't pick up any, didn't even realize they are that rare untill I read this thread(except for maybe the SAW).

Silenced MP5 and M16 is all I need!

Kind of getting bored playing all alone all the time, so if somebody wants to group up: http://steamcommunity.com/id/sidje/.

Yeah, seriously. DMR mags are everywhere. Doesn't matter that the sniper is zeroed in to 300 without the ability to change it since you can just adjust the drop off with the mildots.

You know you can vault over barbed wire and zombies run through it. It barricades bugger all. Mind you I only discovered the vault key a few days ago 

[Xant]

Never been able to vault over barbed wire. Pretty sure you can't vault over it at some places.

[Overdriven]

I haven't come over one I haven't vaulted yet. It's buggy but you can definitely do it.

[Goldor]

I haven't come over one I haven't vaulted yet. It's buggy but you can definitely do it.

Careful, Rocket was talking about making it so you couldn't. It'll also 1/2 the time bug out and shove you back into the center of the wire, thus killing you.

[Vibe]

I could always vault over barbed wire - key is you have to be moving forward while pressing the vault key

Gotta love some of the smooth mechanics of ArmA2.

Was in the NW airfield, attracted a couple of zombies because of my stunning good looks. Had AK with 7 mags, DMR with 5 mags, Camo skin etc.. there was one more zombie left. I try to shoot it with my pistol but nothing happens and I'm like "the fuck?" then I see the throw animation... I'm throwing a frag grenade, must've pressed F accidentally at some point. And because of the lovely ArmA2 animations, I'm stuck there throwing the grenade and even after it's thrown, I can't move for five seconds.

So I die to the explosion. A GLORIOUS DEATH INDEED.
