DayZ Standalone

Really wish my computer could handle DayZ, looks like so much fun in a group.

 

It is amazing fun in a group

It is even fun when you're alone - sometimes I like one wolfing it because I can be stealthy and rely on myself

We just had a massive firefight in Electro with a few casualties (Everyone except Tim and Free!)

 

I've been putting off buying this for a while because I've been under the impression that it could regularly take up to an hour to find somebody who has died in your group - but according to some people I spoke to I learnt this is not the case. I might have to pick this fucker up now.

 

We got in a fight before where literally all of us ended up dying at least once each, and we all just literally ran back to the battle and picked up our old stuff/got stuck in and it took hardly no time at all, about a 10-15 minute run for some and that was just one side running. Usually we have both parties running to meet halfway if a side isn't pinned (in this situation they were)

Eventually we came out the fight on top with Hooch and I as the sole survivors (after running back and getting stuck back into the fight)

Tim almost made it but died last second

 

god damnit tim

 

vid or didnt happen :p
i miss out on all the fun when at work

 

Me too, I miss out on all the fun when I...oh wait no, I just can't run it.
Joking aside, when I do finally get a decent computer I will definitely invest in this, looks like such great fun, especially in a group!

 

It all started when I walked of a building.

 

whos that swag mofo in the ushanka

 

Def not @Hooch .

 

Aye that'd be me. also had a Dallas mask (clown mask from Payday) but i threw that away like 10 minutes before

after the entire fight where we all died once or twice i managed to find and escape with my ushanka so i'm still running about with that.
