Blizzhackers

The game looks fine. Would love to play it but I'm starting my military service next week so have to wait

No success in joining any servers yet. This might just be a game I never get to play.

Arma 3 is in development, you can always play that when it comes out

They're having a sale for ArmA stuff. 25% off

23.99 right now on steam sale. i think i might pick it up.

Yesterday I had my most fun experience in the game so far. I had just spawned and only had a hatchet when all of a sudden I heard a very loud engine noise. This is noticeable in DayZ since it's not so often you see a vehicle. It was a truck and several people were around it, they stopped and start looting a bunch of military tents. I slowly moved towards the truck from the bushes and they didn't see me, I looked in the back and to my surprise there was a whole shit load of guns and ammo. Pretty much every gun in the game. I quickly hop in the drivers seat and start driving off. Only about 1/4 a tank of gas but enough for me to get a far enough distance and then drive into a forest for cover. Equipped myself an AK-47 with 5 clips of ammo and grabbed all the food and liquids I could find from the back of the truck.

Later I got bored and drove the truck back to the area I stole it from. They were waiting of course and shortly after I parked it in a hanger I got sniped out. Was really fun though and I wonder if they seriously put all the work into getting all those guns and why they would just leave the truck pretty much unguarded.

Managed to fraps some footage of me driving the truck around and looking at the gear in the woods. Didn't get any of me stealing it unfortunately (the best part) .

Nice write up.

I'm playing it again also. Found NVGs and alot of other stuff on a chopper site. Running around with a buddy atm to look for crashed choppers to find some good stuff and fill up our tents, in case we do get killed. Atm running around only on night servers, Bizon SD for close combat and stealthy zombie kills, and DMR (which works with NVGs) for long range, oh yeah and ghillie suite ofc. So far so good. If I get into any good combat I'll post the story.

I made a vid about DayZ that I think is a pretty good example of the game. Skip to about 6:40 and I find an m16 and murder a couple people, after that is the footage of me driving the truck around as well

I'm hoping there will be a flash sale for Arma II on steam so I can pick it up and try this out. I watched a ton of youtube videos on it, looks really fun.

no Day Z mod no care, Day Z mod for Arma III would be awesome though.

Steam sale is now. I doubt it will go much cheaper.








they already said day z would work with arma 3

It's not a ~daily deal though. It could always go cheaper through the Daily Deal, Community Deal, Flash Deal.

finally after like 2 hours of searching i found my first gun, of course i was being chased by like 5 zombies and only had 4000 health left so i didnt get to do much with it, but it proves there are in fact weapons in this game.

you gotta be sneaky. it took me about 4 hours to find my first gun but after you know how it becomes a lot easier, because you learn where to look. now I usually find at least a hatchet within 5 minutes of spawning



use this map http://dayzdb.com/map and head towards Elektro or Cherno. check out all the big buildings especially the red military buildings. you will be packing heat in no time

i find hatchets all the time but as far as i can tell, i cant use it as a weapon. seems to be used only for chopping wood.

EDIT: i find hunting knives a lot too but cant equip them either.
