DayZ. Zombie survival mod for Arma2: CO

[Nekosan]

I finally found a gun last night, and while i was crouch walking around in a 2 story building i somehow manage to aggro about 8 zombies, wasted the 8 rounds of ammo i had and then, ran for my life into the forest, got rid of them and but now i need to get my blood back up as im at about half health.

Finding a gun can be pretty hard if servers haven't restarted in a while, if you walk into a store and EVERY item in there is either a vest pack or an empty can then it's a good indicator that you should change server unless you're into pain.

Could be worse though, I was on a server yesterday where EVERY enterable building in Electro was cordoned off with barbed wire, fkn griefing ****.

Alright, I don't get this. You realise you can just vault over the barbed wire, right?

Depending on how it is placed you can make it un-jump-overable.

I wouldn't call it greifing, but something needs to change. It gets hard when you literally can't go anywhere because someone knows how to place barbwire half in stairs. And it should stop zombies, not people.

Yeah I've encountered a few set up in doorways etc that I couldn't vault, it's a pain in the ****.

Swap servers, go inside, swap back, kill the barbed wire griefers.

I jumped on a U.S server last night, by some miracle managed to find my flatmate, and murdered one **** before he got me. I got myself a handy shotgun, but like a fool, I dumped it when I couldn't find ammo - not knowing you can convert ammo around. I felt a bit dumb about that, but elated to find it can be done.

We cleared Elektro, but on the way to Cherno, my flatmate got himself zombied to death. I fled, like the coward that I am.

And then, for the second time that night, while crawling over a step to get into a barn, I suffered a catastrophic injury. Some sort of bug, broke my legs, blood everywhere, unconscious. When I came to, I was able to bandage myself, but I'd used the morphine injector I had to fix the first broken leg event.

Rather annoying bug that.

I then decided to crawl 2 kilometers to Cherno. I killed about 12 zombies on the way. I made it, but I'm afraid to go back in while lots of players are on. I've also got a better pack, map, binoculars, compass, the works. But I'm crawling on my **** because my damn legs are broken and ruined, searching for a hospital desperate for some morphine.

Yep, pretty sure when I start to play, I'm gonna get shot in the head.

Hospital marked with a red cross on the North side of Cherno. You can get there and if you manage to break the window there will be guaranteed Morphine(about 20 sticks of it).

Don't go to the one on the East side, it's far more common for players to go there and camp.

Also, if you go on with a lot of players online, you may be surprised at how few you see. But definitely stay on the outskirts of town, and try do it at night if possible.

Barbed wire, placed on flat ground, cannot be vaulted over. You can only jump it when it's placed in barracks etc through the floor.

Thanks for the tip, but I instead managed to find out why the enfield is called the dinner bell. 50 rounds, I missed only twice, and I still didn't have enough ammo to hold them off. That house was knee deep in the dead.

Far and away the best link I've seen in a looong time. Thanks muchly.

Got a decent character going for the last couple of days now, although nearly lost him last night to some idiot camping Stary in the darkness.

I except bandits as part of the game but these fools that just sit there and wait for people really do ruin it.
They are not interested in looting the dead bodies, they are just after the kills.
It's like no one has explained to them that there are no killstreak bonuses in this game, and god knows how long they must just sitting there doing nothing.

Anyway thankfully he couldn't shoot for **** and wasted an entire magazine spraying at me while I made a hasty zig zag retreat.

Once behind cover I decided to lighten the mood a bit and tossed 7 flares over a building covering about 50mts of treeline and then went back into my building and watched him run.

If I had something better than a Winchester at the time he would have been toast, but at least I lived to loot another day.

[Clontarf[X]]

Yeah I find the bandits in the game aren't too smart. I was sitting in a barn in Prigor and some knob started flinging bullets around like popcorn. Needless to say he got hammered by Z's while I made a daring escape out north to the mountains. I did warn him over direct comm's that I had a double-barrel holemaker pointed at the barn doors though, probably why he didn't come after me...

Tried to add you but it seemed to fail when searching.
Try adding me with im_a_sly_dog

I am currently floating around the middle of the map.

Hopefully what ever is upsetting all the servers at the moment doesn't wipe my inventory as I just picked up a Bizon and a NV FAL.
