Hi guys,
Just thought I'd tell you about the recently released zombie survival horror mod to ARMA 2 and that is 'DayZ'.
Wow. That's all I'll say. I don't even have ARMA 2 and I love this mod, it's incredible. In a massive open-ended world you have to survive for as long as you can, tensions rise when confronting other survivors in whether they can be trusted or not. Let's not forget the zombies, these guys are terrifying. This isn't one of your 'normal' zombie first-person shooters where pulling the trigger and moving backwards keeps you alive, no...not at all. One zombie is enough to kill you and pretty much all of them sprint in zig-zags.
Seeing as this is a mod designed for the most realistic military shooter out there, DayZ can get pretty hard. Let's not forget the permadeath. Oh yeah. If one missed zombie takes one too many swipes at you or some asshole with a rifle shoots you from the treeline, your character is dead and not coming back. You'll have to start again, with all your looted weapons and equipment taken off you.
For hardcore zombie/survival fans this game is amazing, although I'm a bit annoyed you need both ARMA 2 and it's expansion ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead, in order to play the mod. Then again this mod alone is making me consider buying a whole new laptop. And I will because this is worth it.
Thanks for reading.
Kaizo.
