Hello everyone! I just thought I'd share my first impressions of this mod. I decided to give it a try since one of my friends has been playing it. After a particularly obfuscated installation procedure, I was able to log in. Here's how my first two deaths both went: Spawn with no gun. Find some town with a bunch of houses. Fail to find any houses with doors that actually open. I'm not familiar with Arma so maybe this is just a limitation of the Arma engine. Discover that my sneaking skills aren't as good as I thought they were when a zombie pops out of nowhere and hits me. Die in a stupidly protracted manner. So my first impressions are as follows: it is not fun to spawn with no means to defend myself and very little means to acquire said defenses. It is not fun to be chased by enemies that run as fast as I do, will never stop chasing me, and who I cannot damage. It was unrewarding, not fun, and frustrating. I'm sure someone can hop on here and suggest that there is either A) a deficiency in player skill or B) misconstrued expectations. That may be, but my first impressions are that this game mod is needlessly difficult to the point of being unplayable. I am aware from my brief perusal of the forums that difficulty level is valued around here, but this is like a thousand times harder than Dwarf Fortress (whose barrier to entry is like a swift kick in the nuts to your higher level cognitive abilities). I mean, everywhere I go is either completely devoid of anything at all or it is swarming with zombies that will aggro on me despite my sticking to cover and shadows and creeping slowly along with a crouch. Further, once a zombie has aggroed you, you might as well just be dead since he will never stop chasing you but it takes him like 2 minutes to actually finish killing me.
