Great news! Taken all day to get to 60% Steam install on Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead -_-

I'll wait for them to turn it into a proper game. Does sound amazing though.

Sat and played this for around 7 hours today

Killed a few bandits too

Listening to you and StayDead play made it sound like one of the most frustrating games ever.

We need videos of the PC supremacy lot playing this.

Got it working, after waiting all day for downloads and installations. No time to play now

Didn't help that it was nightime and thus pitch black, but I cheated and turned up the brightness and gamma. After he left I found some other cool stranger and teamed with him. We raided this little apartment building and somehow a group of around 7 zombies somehow noticed and attacked us. The stranger ended up getting knocked down and attacked by them, but I managed to fend them all off before he died and gave him some painkillers to save him. Sad scenes later on when we were creeping around one of the main big towns and a bandit (normal players become "bandits" after killing a certain amount of people and their appearance changes) creeped up on us and killed him Managed to avenge his death by one-shotting him with my Lee Enfield rifle, which is apparently the loudest weapon in the game but luckily didn't attract any attention from the other zombies as they had already been killed. Looted him for his shotgun plus 30-odd shells just before I saw another bandit through the window creeping, stalked him and shot him in the back. Had to quit out after that because things were getting too tense

I'm feeling the same. This looks absolutely amazing, but until it moves past Alpha I'll hold off. Have to say, having watched a fair few DayZ vids that I love the atmosphere, the gameplay, etc. To me, this is the nearest I've seen yet to what I'd want in a zombie videogame. A great sense of reality, lots of quiet interludes interspersed with moments of absolute panic. They seem, almost by default, to have captured the feel of 'The Walking Dead' in terms of setting, etc. Not so keen on the fast zombies, but overall this is looking very, very promising. The developers could be on to a real winner here. If it goes commercial I'm absolutely in. As $ilva says, I can't believe this mod has slipped under the radar for so long. This thread is the first I've heard of it.

I agree, this looks promising but after watching the videos it seems too unfinished for me. They really should just make their own game.

It was only frustrating for me Cuttooth as ladders in this game and some of the enviroments are buggy as hell sometimes. I climed the same 3 ladders on 3 seperate occasions and every single time it glitched out and made me fall to my death.

Eventually got up a lighthouse and killed a Bandit who thought he'd come for me. Then fought my way to a factory and hid out for a while before logging off.

I Love the fact the average life expectancy is only 4 hours 42 minutes.

On my first playthrough yesterday I had just about got onto the road when I was held up by 2 players who wanted my gear

I was laying down on the ground and luckily 4 or 5 walkers had snuck up behind them. One of the guys panicked and fired shot and then they were both over run While they were firing at the walkers I managed to sneak off to the next town but ended up being completely surrounded (I guess from all the fired shots) so I managed to find a ladder and got up onto a roof.

I just logged in to eat some baked beans but then I lost connection with the server.

btw, Zombies can climb ladders.

Well that will make things interesting I should be okay now as when I logged in this morning there didn't appear to be any zombies.

Has anybody figured out what the face icon is on the right? The others are food, water and bleeding from what I can make out.

I dunno what that icon is either. Maybe something to do with whether you are a bandit or not?

I logged off in the middle of one of the big towns. I bet when I log in I'll be surrounded by bandits or something

You can all die in a strawberry floating fire.
