With all these different types of mods an game types, do you hve to download anything ? or just go into Arma 2 server browser and and find servers that are running them ?

First it was a Crossbow, if were counting that as a gun, then a Makarov

I would prefer above ground ones, i know they would cause lag etc though. but underground i think is abit farfetched, being able to make underground bases as a single person is abit much. If i remember correctly they will be instanced, so that will solve the lag issue, will see how they implement it.

Can anyone please explain where / how to download and install the wasteland mod ? really interested in trying it !

Thanks for the update Rocket, I think most people are just happy see some officials still reading the Forums !. I think we all understand that your working on the Standalone, and quite frankly, I think we would rather have you working on the Standalone more than the mod, but what about opening up the mod to the community more ? I know you / your team has said that eventually that is the plan (once the standalone is released), just make it more open source, allow the community to make more maps and private / modded servers, I think this will keep the population happy with new content until the Standalone is released. As you would know your self, its amazing what some modders can do ! Keep up the good work !

If im not mistaken, as long as you didnt bring said item into the game, then you can use it, The scumbag hacker who spawned it can get banned.

The thing i found with DayZ , is that when you are decently geared and feel like theres nothing more to do, you need to set yourself a goal to work towards, it just gives you that incentive to keep playing, you need to always have something to work towards, other wise you will end up feeling like you dont want to do anything. KEEP SETTING GOALS

I havent run into artifacting for awhile now, and iv been running around Stary Sobor aread, suppose iv just been lucky, the thing that has worked for me was the FLUSH command, if it happens again il try the windowed mode trick, seems like an easy fix.

I am currently on 12 days, my longest character so far, me and a friend have been playing together, looted Stary about 3 or 4 times and found 2 crash sites in the area around there, so doing pretty well on the survival side, got everything we need to survive in the wild, just really looking for Gillie suits (we have the normal camo's on) and vehicles now really, gonna hit up the NW airfield for the first time to see what we can get.

Il pay for the standalone no problem, i bought Arma 2 and not Day Z, Arma is fun to play by itself anyway, worthe every cent ! Once they release the standalone, im excited to see what will happen when they open up the mod to other modders and the community, the amount of user created content and additions could be awesome !

I think i need to go visit Green Mountain at night to see what all the hype is about...

Rocket said he wants the Alpha of the standalone out before the end of the year, some say possibly eve by October / November. As long as they keep fixing up the mod until then, im happy to play it, the only real problem for me, is that i have absolutely no desire to play any other game other than DayZ ....

Im from Durban, me and a friend play fairly often, usually between ZA 2 / 3 , and other low ping EU servers. There is quite a big Dayz Following over at the Web Africa forums. You can find alot of people there !

I killed my first bandit last night... Me and a friend were on top of the mountain between Cherno and Elektro (where the ATV spawns), anyway, we were just chilling out up there after barely escaping Elektro alive, we had transfused eachother an were both back to full life. I was trying to get the ATV unstuck off a rock (it was missing one wheel anyway), when my friend says he see's 3 people coming up the other side of the mountain. We move abit away from the ATV (presuming they were coming up here to look for the ATV or repair it), after hiding abit i decide to move to a better place to get a better view, when suddenly i look up and see someone looking down at me with a Lee enfield, he shoots but misses, i get him in my sights and let off a round of my Lee enfield, he drops, i run abit down the hill to get some cover expecting his 2 friends to come help him, after awhile we move back up abit and the other 2 are gone, we loot and press on. First kill, of any type of player, it was quite invigorating

There seems to be some family issues in this thread.

As Ivell said, you can kill bandits no problem, you will however loose humanity if you kill survivors / non bandits. So get slaughtering everyone with a white cloth around their head !

Found my first bike last night, dam it was awesome

This isnt even a rant about hackers really... this is just about a guy who gets killed alot. Please tell me how they are going to fix other players killing eachother ? Thats part of the game, play a single player shooter if you just want to run around and not be killed by other players.

People must stop saying the ArmA 2 doesnt run well or is broken etc (it might not be optimized well, but still) ... Arma 2 as a game is fine, DayZ is so heavily modified and it does things the Arma 2 engine shouldnt even allow, the mod is what causes the problems, BI didnt make ArmA 2 to run Dayz...

The answer is technically no, as Rocket stated in his Reddit Q&A, the standalone will be using a "branch" of the Real Virtuality engine, which is what Arma 2 / Arma 3 is based off.

As soon as i read that i thought of postal 2
