Sup guys, I have heard a lot about DayZero recently, if you have played it or have anything to say about it please tell me.

Thanks

All I've heard so far is that it will solve world hunger and of course all of the bugs in DayZ.

It a good overall experience, you see a lot of squads and the weapons are balanced. Though they sacrifice a lot for the framerate. i get constant 50 frames (which is amazing for DayZ), but the netcode and the zombies are quite glitchy at times and can drive you mad.

You beat me to it!

and the weapons are balanced.

 

That's the only part that prevents me from playing it... a 7.62x51 machine gun should do the same damage as a 7.62x51 rifle, and a Lee-Enfield shouldn't be totally underpowered simply because it's common...

 

Ya, 95% of players couldn't care less but for me that type of balancing is the worst - possible - thing. Especially in ArmA.

 

Edit: my new mission is to get them to change it back. ^_^

Say what now?? i didn't realise they'd changed weapon damage values like that,  disappointing.

 

I've only had a brief go on DayZero, first impressions were,

 

Runs smooth.

 

The new buildings interiors are very well done, though there's not really that many different ones.

 

Loot seems well balanced, as in there's not guns around every corner, you actually have to search for survival gear unlike most mods.

 

Didn't find any new guns so can't comment on that.

 

Vehicles spawn in random locations which is cool.

 

Zombies, there's more of them but they are weak. so unless you get yourself trapped it's still too easy to just run around not paying much attention to them.

It's standalone. But it's not.

I think you're severely under estimating how different the standalone will be to the mod.
