Why is that?

That would be so awesome. Especially if you could get makeshift Miner helmets to go exploring for treasure.

Me too. We have a server which should be up and running by the weekend so if you want to pop on we'll teach you some basic tricks. The group I play with are all sound and helpful to new guys.

As random and vague as this thread is, that's a pretty nice system.

Agreed.

Vanilla is boring but to each their own I guess.

It's only a mod. ;)

Good luck Jessie.

Change optics mode to Y. It's at a nice distance and doesn't take up any other keys binding.

When you're in a vehicle driving through a town, the zombies spawn. I'm wondering if this causes FPS problems due to the amount of people likely driving around Chernarus. Anybody know?

Scorched Earth is going along very well. :ph34r:

Zombieworld.eu has great servers. The admins are unbelievably great lads too.

Day 3. Berezino. 5:30am The darkness around Chernarus was an extra shade of black that Wednesday morning, the cold chilling winds hit my face as got up from the bush I had slept in that night. My stomach rung out for food and my thirst needed to be quenched, reaching into my ALICE pack I pulled out a slightly older than normal Sardine can and a surprisingly cold can of Pepsi. Taking my hunting knife I pierced the Sardine can and poured the foul tasting vinegar out of the hole I had made, slowly and very carefully I cut the tin to make it easily accessible for my finger to take the salty fish out of the dirty can, opening the can of Pepsi I ate the Sardines and masked their foul taste with the cold fizziness of the Pepsi drink. Wiping the slumber out of my eyes I began to move north east, not many people are active at this hour so moving to more dangerous areas was a good idea, before I set off I realised I had no chemlights in my back pack to light my way through the dark murky woods of Chernarus however on my tool-belt was my flash light which truthfully wasn't that great but it would have to do if I was to make it to the North East Airfield before sunrise, running through the woods their was nobody to be seen, the silence cut through the air as I ran north west to my destination. 5:55am Arriving near the airfield I slowed my pace to a crawl, the silence was cut dead as the cruel moans of the infected entered my mind, oblivious to my presence I slowly crawled and made it to my first destination which so happened to be the ATC tower, once a vibrant communication beacon was now as silent as myself as I held my breathe upon entering, exhaling I slowly shut the door behind me and headed up the stairs to see if there was anything useful for my survival. Looking around I found some blue Chemlights and some G17 magazines, only taking what I needed I lit the chemlight and left for the hangers, undetected I searched through the hanger bays but only some useless Lee Enfield magazines and empty tin cans where there to greet my anticipation, checking my map I decided to be bold and head to the most dangerous and personally unexplored North West Airfield. Heading south west at this time wasn't so bad of an idea, Krastnostav was peaceful as I headed on my bearing, suddenly my radio buzzed and a voice entered the silent woods 'Hey, anybody out there?', lowering my radio I kept on my way, this guy could be anywhere, he could even be a Bandit after my FN FAL, again my radio buzzed 'Come on man, anybody know where to find a Ghillie suit?' answering to keep the guy quiet I told him I only ever found one in Chernogorsk or Elektrozavodsk he thanked me and the radio went silent with only the blowing wind to keep me company. 6:25am The trek was long, maybe 8km and my journey would take me past Devils Castle a place I didn't want to be anywhere near, too many bad memories haunted that area, so quickly checking my map and eating a tin of Beans and drinking one of my many cans of Coca Cola. Not wanting to spend much time around this area of Chernarus I kept on the move north west past the castle and towards the Airfield, slowly I approached the barracks in the center of the misty airfield, attracting some unwanted attention I ran inside and found an Uzi on the floor with one magazine, taking aim I shot the grotesque creatures one by one until silence resumed. On my way out of the barracks the rain started to drip down from the slowly illuminating sky, going prone I crawled for 10 minutes to keep my presence here to a minimum, it's better to be safe than sorry I told myself as I approached the other barracks on the south west area of the airfield, stepping into the barracks I had to maneuver my way over a bench which blocked my way, during my maneuver one of the infected seen me and attacked me. 'Fuck!!' I shouted aloud as I pressed the muzzle of my Uzi against the undead face of my attacker, two shots rang out of my weapon as he hit the floor. Wanting to get out of this death trap I meticulously searched the four or five barrack dorms in the third room lay an M14 AIM, my eyes lit up and adrenaline running I picked it up and left my FN FAL on the floor for some lucky survivor to pick up. Bandaging I stopped the bleeding however my vision was blurry and I needed blood if I was to survive the day, remembering the guy on the radio from earlier I spoke 'Test, test, hello anybody there, did you find the Ghillie suit?' as I made it out of the airfield and back into the wilderness my radio buzzed. 'No man, no luck, how's it going?' weary of the guy on the other end I told him I was ok but could do with a blood transfusion. He told me he had blood and was near Grishino. I brought my map out and told him I was pretty near and asked whether he was friendly or not. 'Yeah I'm friendly man, you want to meet up so I can help you?', I agreed and made my way north to Grishino. 6:45am In the distance I could see a blazing fire, 'survivors?' I though as I made my way slowly towards the crash site, to my dismay the only sign of life was that of the flames and that of the dead who patrolled the glowing area, heading into the nearby bushes I took aim and shot the infected. My radio buzzed as I ran towards the crash site 'Hey...is that you shooting? I'm friendly man'. I laughed as I told him I was taking out the dead and to see if he wanted the weapon from the crash site, he agreed and told me his name was Andy we exchanged pleasantries as I found only ammunition from the downed chopper. 'What weapon do you have mate?" I asked in a pleasant yet worried tone, many people appear friendly in this world but will take you out in seconds if they need to. 'An M4A1 CCO SD' he replied with an obvious accomplished smile across his face 'Nice well it's your lucky day my friend I have just found plenty of STANAG SD magazines at this crash site' He thanked me and told me to meet him south of Grishino and to look for a tower with a giant ball on top of it. I agreed and made my way there. 6:55am 'I'm illuminated by a chemlight' he told me as I new we where getting closer, suddenly I see him running across my field of view, in a split second he turned and shot his gun, instinct took over my body and adrenaline done the rest, my M14 AIM rose and put his chest in the cross hair, aiming down the site I shot twice into his torso, he dropped to the floor in an instant, the radio buzzed one last time as Andy spoke his final words 'I...was shooting the ...infected.. I'm friendly.'. The raw emotion of guilt hit me hard as I checked the guys pack, he had a bit of food which I had to take, on my way back east I couldn't control my guilt, however half of me thought he could have been shooting at me and that it was definitely to be safe than sorry in Chernarus. Ohhh you said no more?.

It seems a strange decision by the powers that be. It'd be interesting to know how much of an issue this can cause on populated servers.

Nice script list mate. Good luck with your server. :)

Would the community prefer the blood system we have now in Dayz or a more violent (not kill bill style or Django) game when shooting Zombies in the head or shooting other survivors? I feel that the gore system in Arma 2 is weak compared to something along the lines of Gears of War 1. So my question is simple, keep it as it is or enhance it?

I think the first thing you should do -If you're good at shooters/movement/reactions- Head to one of the main cities, dive right in. You will likely die but dying in the early days is good for your initiation period when you're new. You should head to the white building with yellow doors, this is a supermarket and your best friend in the early days. However be careful as it is also other survivors best friend too. You will need to get some food and drink here and any tools you can find (Hunting Knife, Box of Matches, Binoculars). You may also find a pistol which realistically are only for killing Zombies, which you'll likely need to do in the early stages of your game. Make sure you find a map before you leave for the north as you can get lost extremely easy in this game and end up in places you don't want to be in (Stary Sobor, NWAF and NEAF). Once you have obtained your map head north and explore, you can lose your zombie aggro in the pine trees (green triangle shaped), just crouch in them and move slowly in a crouched position. Once free of zombies you should explore but do not be naive and think the first player you see is friendly, most people in this game will kill you for your supplies, you'll definitely learn that as you make your way north. You should head to Berezino (North east corner of the map) it is a relatively safe town with two super markets for food and military tents at the most northern part for possible military gear, perhaps you'll find a vehicle on your way here so make sure you find a Toolbox from the smaller towns you will likely come across. Make sure you keep an eye on your food/water/blood/temp meters in the bottom right hand corner. Good luck.

18. Lose your conscience. The first kill is always the worst but with time you won't care as your soul will blacken... lol.

Terrible idea, really.

It depends on how adventurous the server admins are. Some enjoy it as vanilla but our group will be creating a worthy military airport.

You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to uh, somebody, You're gonna like this guy, He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us. You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys.

Good luck to all involved. Our team had so much fun thinking this up for you guys, sorry we can't attend. :)

I've never had a gf.

I can't allow that to happen. Nothing annoys me more than mutated Zombies. (bloodsuckers).

I think it'd be great in Breaking Point. Tazer the guy, take his gun and kill him.
