The Dayz-mod (The best mod for a game ever made)

[Emil]

Anyone tried this yet? It's awesome. I've never played Arma2 but bought it just to play this mod. Best buy I've made in a long time.

You start out along the coast of this gigantic game-world (225 km2 open world) without any weapon at all. You got to sneak around looking in houses and stuff just to find guns, drinks, food, vehicle parts, bottles.... You have to watch out for other players and also the zombies. You can also cooperate with people and speak directly to them through your mic.
If you die you'll have to start over from scratch. If you dont die and log out your character and the stuff you have will load right up next time you connect to any server.

Arma2 is now the topselling game at Steam because of this mod. ;)





You only need to buy the expansion Arma2:Operation Arrowhead (~€14) since you can use Arma2 Free to play Dayz.

so you need
Arma2: free demo
Arma2:Operation Arrowhead
Dayz mod

I just grabbed Operation Arrowhead but not sure which Arma2 to get, there is a free demo and a $20 version

I bought http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4639/ which includes both Arma2 and the expansion but some people just use:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/33900/ (I think this is the one people use)
and then buy the expansion: http://store.steampowered.com/app/33930/

I think you can use this to more easily install the mod:

Make sure you read about the controls so you wont get a headache ;)

Some basic commands:
C = Standing
X = Walk
Z = Crawl

Interact with objects with the scrollwheel, scroll and click it.

V = Jump over a small fence (good when zombies are after you)
G = Inventory
Capslock = Voice-talk
Shift = Walk/Crawl slowely
Numpad Enter (Enter to the right) = 3rd person view
ALT = Free cam so you can look around

When it's night you wont be able to see anything, if it's night on a US-server try a EU-server.

And heres a tip I wish I had known when I stared: Do not run into the cities when you start because you wont find much there since everyone spawns at the beach.
Run straight into the woods and keep running until you find roads to other towns/Hunting towers... There is no zombies in the woods so just run through them. ;)
