An Arma II zombie apocalyps survival mod. Very interesting.

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 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

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.

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.
