I've been looking at Arma 2 for a while now.

I think I'll download the free version and have a fiddle around before commiting to the rest of it.

Long time lurker here so hello!

I'm currently playing the Dayz mod on different servers but haven't found a decent one to stay on consistantly. I'd be happy to tag along in a group of people or help out doing scavenging runs for supplies etc. Anything to change playing as a lone wolf 24/7

Ign is the same as my username here smile

Downladed it last evening - did a few of the tutorials, jumped into online and had a blast.

There's far much more discipline than BF3, for instance, lots of patience and they really takes the team work seriously.

It was funny that out of the 4 scenarios we played. I had the best stats for the first game, no idea how, I guess being ex-mil does actually help a lot as I found I was getting into good fire positions and dropping the enemy successfully without really thinking about it.

So, next game, I was the leader - I simply said that I have no idea what I'm doing and it's best for all of us if someone else takes over. Really nice bunch of lads that were in the lobby - helpfull and patient with me.

Really impressed so far - I'll give it a few more tries then I think I'll upgrade to the full game with all the packs if it keep being as engrossing.

Just as an idea to put out there, servers cost approximatley £60.00 a month for a 50 slot server, can we muster 10 people willing to chip in £6 a month?

Quick question you guys may be able to help with.

I'm going to upgrade to the paid game tonight.

Do I have to uninstall the free version before I download the other or will it sort itself out?

Can you have private servers running DayZ?

DayZ is solely run by privately funded servers. You need the devs to jump on and initially configure it I think and from there on it is independently managed by yourself. I wouldn't be willing to chip in though as I am already commited to a server. I play the UK 22 server exclusively.

Not sure on the free to full upgrade path though. Must be something on the BIS website about it?

I've got a ghillie suit too. It looks pretty cool but I can't help feeling it acts as a massive neon sign saying "kill me and steal all my awesome gear!". A shoot on sight policy is definitely in effect ..

What a bonkers game.

Just sat in a barn for half an hour while surrounded by zombies. I was happy with it.
