hmm well I tried on another PC and it works so either it's norton or some other problem. hmm edit: yeah it was norton <_<

Hello everyone I am considering purchasing arma 2 to put the DAYZ mod on, but have a few questions before I do. I will first say that I want to play single player. I know there are some mods and you can set up a server of your own, I have a quad core xeon blade server that I could run the server on so if someone could point me to a tutorial that would be great. I am looking for a game where aside from running around, you can set up a base of some sort or barricade yourself inside a house, or a barn or something like that. I would love to be able toe stablisha base like that, maybe put up fences or something like that, and then be able to take a vehicle I have found out for supply runs. Is that possible in this game? I am also looking for possibly a video of gameplay aspects. Is it possible to use barbed wire, or maybe a string with a bell to alert you when zombies approach he perimiter? can you set traps for zombies or maybe snares to catch food? I am looking for something that is really immersive. So, can this game do that? What are some of the aspects like that which it is capable of doing and those that are not. Perhaps if someone has a video showing off those types of aspects they could hare it. I'd just love to be able to barricade a farm, sit up in a window or on the roof, and snipe zombies down. What kinds of weapons are there? (I imagine since I would be running the server I can just give myself stuff, but finding it would be fun.) Also do zombies despawn when dead, or would you have to deal with cleaning up their bodies and stuff like that? I look forward to your replies.

Okay cool. If there are windows I can probably make some wooden stairs to the roof. Can you bust down parts of the walls of existing structures or just things you have made? I imagine it's the later.

Oh yeah when I set up the server for the first time will everything spawn as it normally should (like cars, weapons tools and other things in their usual places) or do I have to go and define that stuff in a configuration file?

aww man, I need operation arrowhead too? Well there's another $20 :/

Awesome. I guess since there aren't many zombies near barns, (sadly though if makes sence) maybe I would set up a base using the tops of buildings or something like that. Are there military bases or, maybe even better, parking complexes I could clear out? It would be wicked to have the first level or two boarded up, have different levels for storage or vehicles, and have a helipad on the roof :)

Okay, AWESOME! ittl be like micraft but way better lol. I'll wait to hear some more from you guys and maybe watch some gameplay footage but it totally sounds woth the $13

Ah epoch looks awesome. I suppose since I have a server I can run it on and it adds NPC's I could just do it like that so I could invite someone if I want. I am wondering,what happens if you die? do you just respawn somehwere and have to find your way back to your stuff? Can you set a spawn>
