FA reunites for DayZ

[IceBlade]

Hey, guys. I trust life is treating you all well? Thought I'd come on and see if any of you would like to join us for some DayZ.

Recently, several FA members, and some new people, have gotten together to play. I haven't had this much fun playing a game since the old days of FA. At the moment Arma II: Combined Operations (needed to play the free DayZ mod) is available on Steam for only $8.49. Whether you want to get seriously into a game or just shoot the shit with old friends on Vent, this is the opportunity to do it. At less than $10 why not?

Hope to see some of you around. If you want to get in touch I will subscribe to this thread so just post here and I'll receive an email on my phone.

DayZ is an award winning 2012 multiplayer open world survival horror mod designed by Dean Hall for the 2009 tactical shooter video game ARMA 2 and its 2010 expansion pack, ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead. The mod places the player in the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus, where an unknown virus has turned most of the population into undead, violent zombies. As a survivor with limited supplies, the player must scavenge the world for supplies such as food, water, weapons and medicine, while killing or avoiding both zombies and other players and sometimes non-player characters - in an effort to survive the zombie apocalypse.

DayZ has been widely praised in gaming media for its innovative design elements, with Kotaku and Eurogamer describing it as possibly the best zombie game ever made, PC Gamer calling it one of the most important things to happen to PC gaming in 2012 as well as one of the five scariest games of all time, and PC PowerPlay giving it its Game of the Year award as well as ranking it as the overall fifth best PC game of all time. The mod reached one million players in its first four months on 6 August 2012, with hundreds of thousands of people purchasing ARMA 2 just to play it.

The mod version of DayZ remains in continued development by its community, whereas the standalone game is currently in development by Dean Hall and ARMA 2 creators Bohemia Interactive.
