So I bought Arma 2 recently - specifically because of Dayz mod. My experience so far: About 5-6 hours played in-game. Haven't found a single drink. Haven't found a single piece of food. I did find a few weapons and ammo. Though they weren't compatible. Eventually I did find a shotgun and ammo that went together. I got killed numerous times by zombies. They spotted me from miles away at times. They can teleport through walls, de-spawn and re-spawn at random times. Shooting them in the head sometimes won't have any effect. When you shoot a zombie it also takes like 2-3 seconds until death animation. So I can never tell if I killed them or if I need to take another shot. The fact that they can run at 200 mph is stupid. The fact that they chase you forever is even more silly. I can't turn around and shoot them in the open because they will kill me... So basically I need to run in a building (where zombies suddenly walk at 1 mph???) to kill them. Where is the logic in this?? Apparently Dayz strives to be realistic? If a zombie would chase me in real life I most certainly wouldn't run inside a building where the zombie would trap me. I would run for he hills and escape. So yea, the game is certainly not like Youtube videos. I also realize that the mod is still in alpha phase - which is why I will give it a second chance after some patches. But unless they drastically change zombies I have no intention of returning. Zombies are just so anti-climatic. You spend an hour sneaking around... Being quiet and trying to survive. And then a zombie spots you and you run at full speed and zombie chases you forever (and he is faster than a car). Thanks, but no thanks.
