An Arma II zombie apocalyps survival mod. Very interesting. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05 ... ore-107588 half expected to see derf in the comment thread |

Enticing. Like a cross between Stalker and Neo Scavenger. I actually have ArmA 2 from ages ago, but furiously dropped it due to performance issues and general clunkiness with the game. I'll admit the mod looks like a great idea. What puts me off is that it's alpha stage. Added to my "watch / want" list, along with: mow skirmish pack 2 Team Assault: Baptism Of Fire takedown lone survivor walking dead age of decadence dead state the banner saga skyrim diablo 3 heroes and generals anna deadly 30 avernum tactical intervention jagged alliance BIA warlock master of the arcane day z |

hehe, the more I read about it the more exciting it sounds to me. The fact that it's set in a persistent world with other players who may or not be friendly only ups the awesome of this mod. But yeah, sucks about it still being in alpha. It requires Arma 2 + Operation Arrowhead btw, so you'd need to get the expansion first anyway. In fact, Arma 2: Combined Operations (Arma 2 + OA) is actually making a surge on the Steam bestseller list years after release purely thanks to this mod. If any developer still doubts the value of providing modding tools for their game...(see screenshot) Some fun stories and advice I found: http://desolateshroud.blogspot.ca/ http://digitalpariah.tumblr.com/post/22 ... sters-dayz http://thurot.com/2012/05/07/day-one-in-day-z/ Also from the RPS comment thread

I suppose the "every-man-for-himself" element could be relieved by friends doing co-op... but then again, the words "Rinox", "Coop", "Survival" don't go well in the same sentence, much like "Derf", "Autoshottie", "Zombie-Rush". |

Haha, yeah I've thought about us playing this together. I would help you out and be all team-playish, but seriously if you get crowded by a bunch of zombies and it looks like I'm gonna get it too, I'll be out of there. Maybe come back to loot your corpse a little later. Then again, I'lm pretty sure you'd be capable of just shooting me in the back if I had some great loot that would allow you to survive much longer. So I don't feel to guilty. i'm actually not sure if you can log in together - I think you still may need to find each other after maybe spawning half a map away. And finding your way in unknown territory without a map is gonna be a bitch. I'm sure we'd manage tho. I'm a pretty decent navigator. |

When i read 'Some utter fucking sociopath had shot him in the legs just for the pleasure of watching him get ripped to bits' i was under the impression Ox was already playing. Sounds very interesting and atmospheric indeed, add it to the (bucket) list. |

lol, actually no dude. I HAVE integrity and honour (basic coop sense). If you find and M4 with scope and all I have is a shitty pistol, there is still more chance in us finding that "hidden weapon storage bunker" compared to me trying on my own. |

I meant it more in the sense of real-world survival than co-op. Especially when it's me & my 'ethics' you're out and about with. |

lol ok, thats more like it... But i question the point at which youd fine me 'unsavable'. E.g. If i thought there would be 25% chance of saving u from a zombie rush, id probably try it.... But i suppose for you to do the same it would have to be in the high 90's.. |

Back-up plan: if saving/running with Derf fails, shoot him in the leg so that the zombies take him instead of you .. no? |

I see there is some kind of Belgian theme running here. |

Why wait until he's about to die? Haha! I seriously had a dream about this game without actually even playing it. I dreamt I was out with a friend (not you Derf, surprisingly) surviving and sneaked into a church to loot something when I heard something in the other room, went back to the wall and shot the poor scavenger in the back without questions. I felt really bad about it in my dream, and afterwards. I've been reading too many of the stories clearly. They did a part 2 on RPS btw, really interesting. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05 ... -part-two/ |
