The Day Z mod for ARMA II

Been playing this a lot. Here's me and the crew killing a cow for the greater glory:

I've only managed a small amount of play, due to real life and server problems, but so far I am underwhelmed. Arma II is clunky, man, clunky. The PVP seems to be pretty much constant. And I never liked fast zombies.

Reading through the Day Z boards, I see the most common response to the PVP thing is "this is realistic," to which I say:

1. Realism should always serve gameplay, not the other way around
2. and in a real total meltdown scenario, teamwork would be king. Lone wolves have shorter life expectany in genuine disasters.

But as it stands, the game inordinately rewards random murder and looting. I guess if that's the sort of thing you're into ...

Too a degree. Pack hunting is much safer and rewarding. Note how we all have automatic weapons above? We were able to hit the dangerous areas (airfields, military camps, etc) with more zombies and hostile players as a result of team-play. The problem is trust, no one trusts anyone, and I believe that is pretty accurate.

Hit-up Texas Server 7 (TX7) next time you play.
