yes, I assume this is why they had the 'flip' option in the Arma2 Warfare mod , because it was always way to easy to flip them.

When in the viciniy of zombies and : When on grass (making that soft sound underfoot) you can crouch run and get pretty close without aggroing When on hard surface (Road , or gravel ) , making either a hard sound , or a gravel-like sound - you must crouch-walk slow (holding shift) otherwise you will aggro closeby zombies. If you move from grass to cross a road, or a hard patch and zombies are closeby , you must crouch walk slow whilst on the hard part to remain hidden. Running will aggro zombies from long range no matter what surface.

There is only one map on the server , when you look at your map you are seeing the same one as everyone else , someone has just double clicked on it and made mark. of course , you can only see the map if you have a map in your possesion.

I agree , in the beginning I look for a hatchet and leave oter weapons , I see lots of newly spawned players running from zombie trains because they found a pistol and fired it and alerted every Z in the area. Hatchet is a good way to kill silently and keep hidden whlst you get the essential gear that is needed early.

I would like to see 'Random military incursions' in Dayz. For instance , surviving government forces decide that a military incursion into Chernarus is needed for some reason (rescue , reconnaissance, retrieving equipment etc) A helicopter would spawn , carrying a number of highly armed special forces soldiers, fly to somewhere and drop the troops. The soldiers would be instructed to engage all in the area (surviviors and zombies) , whilst they carry out their mission (securing an area basically) for a short time. These incursions would be pretty rare, but could lead to some fierce firefights if they turn up in certain areas. The prize , on those occasions when they taken out , would be all their loot , maybe even their heli ...., after a certain amount of time they will attempt to head back to the heli and evac. thats all.

I spawned in Novy the other day , stuck in the wall of a building , but I got out and it ended up being my best run yet.

Its much better starting without a weapon, you will find one in no time anyway. Use a Hatchet, kill quietly and find loot to build up your character.

how autistic do you have to be for robots to make you feel at home? haha ... good one.....

well, I dont bitch about them. ;) This idea is more about immersion - with the offchance of decent reward if you get lucky.

They would be instructed to shoot anyone on sight , cant take any risks in an infected area ;)

yep , would have to be a rare event.

damn thread title got me excited...

surely it's pronounced 'Days' ? you dont pronounce the Z on its own in other words, "Zee-ombie" . "Zed-ombie" , "Zee-oo" , "Zed-oo"

Good video , I enjoyed that. sounds like you were right on top of the enemy at the end.

I agree, games dont need amazing graphics to be great. Arma2 was always a bit buggy and quirky , but this just gives it more character in my opinion, it was one of the best gaming purchases I ever made. There have been some amazing mods/addons brought out for it over the years.

I get this a lot , only once did I find a body , it had sunk into the ground but a small part of the backpack was visible and I could loot it. every other time theres nothing there, I think its leftover from a body that was there previously.

silly hobbitses....try fishes.....no meet preciousss...nooooooo Press G to see the Meat.

"So you want loads of Yogscast Carebear Fans playing day z ok good luck with that." You should re-read the stickies , this is just the kind of comment that Rocket does NOT want in his forums or game.

how did you get the meat? , I cut a boar yesterday and it said that there were some pieces of meat on the carcass , but I could see how to get them , they didnt appear on the menu..then the boar dissapeared. should I have gone into the gear screen?

Arma2 always was a bit buggy , but still a fantastic game.

Lets make this interesting , what server are you playing on mainly OP ? let the manhunt begin :)

I spawned in novy sobor , stuck in between a wall with a zombie hitting me , I managed to crawl out and back into the building where I gave the zombies the slip after losing 4k blood. I ran out of the town and saw two helicopter crash sites either side of the road, so I sneaked throuhg the zombie pilots and picked up some black civvy clothing and an Aks Kobra. Added some binocs , hunting knife , tent later. turned out to be my best run yet , shame I died to zombies later when I got one-shot-Ko'd though...
