FINALLY, GODS BE PRAISED.

 

This update will basically turn the mod into a better version of standalone, LOL. I see why they delayed it so much.

 

waiting with my cock in my left hand and f5 in the other.

[Vex_Vehix 436]

Nice. Can't wait to try it. I bought Arma II & OA, still haven't played it or the DayZ mod. This will make me want to play.

The current buggy zeds in the SA are aggravating. Walking through walls and such. I love the game, besides that.

[zombieland78 42]

All sounds good. Glad it's still getting developed for us Arma II players!

 

But still no way of keeping zombies out of buildings. Even with closed/locked doors. For me that's the only thing I'm waiting for (besides the odd bug fix).

 

Oh and Breaking Point style fog.
