There I am looting the Elektro Hospital. Now as you can imagine the 35 players have ransacked the hospital before me so my chances were slim. However on the second floor I find a player, dead, on the floor. Meagre stuff on him. To note at this point I have a fire axe, motorcycle helmet, assorted good and decent backpack. I carry on to the roof, as I break through to the roof I hear the swish behind me, turn to see another player attacking me with a hammer. I don't think I've ever laughed so much. I'm not sure who looked more stupid me for running around the hospital with my Flash light making a mini club or him attacking me with a hammer, he must hit me 10 times, I dispatch 3 shots and kill him. Now at this point my T-shirt is ruined and I'm bleeding with nothing to bandage with and the guy I killed is glitching and falling though the floor, I spend a few minutes trying to access his body but only get a 1 second chance each time and fail. This guy was loaded... He had so much food (something that is in short supply) and water. Now in this situation I have no idea why he attacked me with such poor odds in his favour. I was facing away from him unaware of his presence, so he could see my axe, he had more loot and could have easily turned back. Oh well Me 1 - KOS - 0 (of sorts)

I think it's people just hoping that you have something they don't!

I'm pretty sure the servers are tied to your region. So you'll have to wait till day to play.

I bought Minecraft in beta 1.2.5 for £16.99

Were you unarmed? Yeah I saw someone in the school and remembered the deathmatches that ensued there!

Great improvement over the mod! I was initially very cynical from the videos and streams, how the SA would be at release. 1. Melee is ten times better, now my axe actually goes where I aim it. 2. The inventory system is leaps and bounds beyond the mod. From Rocket's streams, I thought it looked very clunky and I wasn't impressed at all. However after using it I must say that it is a very fluid and simple UI, the combination actions in the inventory are glorious. 3. Night time is much improved, I don't have to use gamma cheats to see. I must say that the atmosphere at night is greatly improved. For example when I spawned in, I was creeping round a house with a flash-light and a zombie jumped me in the pitch black darkness, I have never been terrified in DayZ up till this point. 4. Zombie textures and animations are 100X better, I actually feel satisfied when I kill them. They are also much more deadlier than in the mod. The only problem is that there's so few of them and that is obviously a major concern at the moment. 5. The graphics are great again 100X better than the mod. I'm eager to see what days looks like, but the improved building textures but especially the player and item models are amazing. 6. There are some bugs that I noticed 5 minutes in but only very minor; Floating loot and flickering textures. 7. Animations are so much better. In the mod I gave up with 3rd Person because the animations were atrocious, while the SA does have some worse for wear animations; Zombie jump and ladders, they are a great improvement. 8. The world is much more realistic and dense. I don't feel like I'm in a world built for a military sim but in a genuine world. I will say that some of the buildings feel a little mashed together. 9. The text pop ups are horrible and need to be replaced ASAP, I never have a clue what is up with my character or what stage they're at. Overall I can perhaps see this being very barebones and eventually boring for the sole player but the SA is a bigger improvement than I could have ever dreamed of. I'm impress and this is from a previous cynic.

I was pleasantly surprised, just waiting for day time now!

I haven't tried that yet, that's awesome, running attack on those zombies haha

I expected a owner price but A. They know people will buy it B. The more money it makes, the better it looks to the producer/CEO C. After Arma 3 I knew BIS would make it quite expensive for an alpha!

I was playing Assassin's creed after giving up on today, then I sat on the toilet opened up my chrome on my iphone which happened to be reddit, refreshed it and saw the news... I was so happy!

Noobs again :D

I wish they'd just say ''hey guys it's not coming out today'' unless they literally only know a few hours before whether it will or not...

They probably ran in to another bug and are testing it out!

I'm sure it's not happening at least for today.

Looks like we might get arma 2 complete discount or pass? http://steamdb.info/sub/36118/#section_info this was the new app they added 4 hours ago

73 players on the steam graph

His lack of silence actually hypes me up for once haha

Yeah but I've never known a game release on sunday and do all server hosts work sunday?

Great idea but the text system should be done away with completely!

It is a sunday to be fair haha

Well at least the evidence is 100x stronger than in November :P

That part was so funny where rocket nearly let something slip and Hick's tried to cover! Rocket said something like "we have to lockdown the b..." Then he cauht himself and awkwardness and "mic issues" ensued lmao http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=16FGQQrE4To

I think it will be either monday or tuesday, if not 2014!
