I've been playing since around 1.2, and it really is something else. I have so many crazy stories and experiences from my travels in Chernarus I almost feel like writing a book.

Once, I logged on in the middle of the night. During my previous sessions I had been making my way through the countryside to what I was told was a town ripe for the picking, travelling with a friend who was now fast asleep. I decide to take a shortcut through a small village, which turned out to be a terrible decision - it was full of zombies.

So there I was, being chased along the road by a dozen zombies for what must've been half an hour, when I see a flare in the distance. It looks like it's on the roof of a building, but it's hard to tell from this distance. I stop running for a second to announce that I'm in need of help, during which time I'm struck in the face and start bleeding. Almost immediately I get a reply - "No problem, come on over". Slowly losing blood, I make my way over and find that it is indeed a building (and a pretty big one, at that). I climb a few flights of stairs, but see no entrance to the roof. Frantically searching, I hear a moan. They're catching up. Suddenly, I hear the flick of lighter, followed by a blinding red light - the guy drops a flare down, revealing the ladder that was hiding behind a stack of crates. I'm struck once again while I'm putting away my mostly-empty revolver. My vision darkens as I climb, gunshots echoing as my newfound companion covers my escape.

The gunshots stop as I finally reach the top. I'm safe. He points me towards a pile of ammo and we chat for a bit while he gives me a transfusion. In the first downtime I've had in quite some time, I realize how incredibly hungry and thirsty I am. I ask if he has anything to eat, to which he replies with a laugh, "You too, eh?"

A scream echoes in the distance. Blam. Blamblam. Another scream - no shots this time, though. I look toward the horizon, deeper into the city where I see a figure basking in the faint light of a distant flare. It's another survivor, and it looks like he's in trouble. Without hesitation, my savior whips out he rifle and, after adjusting his zero, takes aim and fires. The shots hit and the zombie goes down, as expected. What we didn't expect, though, was the massive horde that proceeded to sprint through the light towards us. Shit.

We decide that it'd be a waste of resources to try and take them out from all the way over there, so we wait for them to get closer. We manage to pick off a few before they round the corner of the courtyard and escape our line of sight, which uses up the majority of our remaining ammunition. Their cries now louder than ever, we figure they're probably in the building. "We fight to the end!", he says. No disagreements here. While waiting for death to shamble up the stairs, we reminisce about how we first met - oh, it seems like only yesterday! We expend the rest of our ammo on the first few to climb the ladder, though there are many still filing up the stairs.

We back as far away from the entrance as we can and wait. Guns as empty as our stomachs (and my veins), we watch as the first zombie steps floor on the roof. The chat was unusually dead, so it wasn't hard to see the message in my peripheral vision - ''Goodbye, battle-brother. We made a hell of a team.'' I turn my head as he takes a single step and leaps off the edge.

The rest, well, you can probably figure it out.

um certo alerta ao desavisados, segundo a minha propria experiência, e o site do mod, o mod requer ambos o arma 2 e o arma 2 Operation Arrowhead (que podem ser comprados juntos no pacote Arma II combined operations, logo 30usd$)

porém alguem me disse dentro do jogo q é possivel joga-lo com o arma II free. (porém ele é travado no minimo da qualidade grafica)


o jogo não é para nenhum jogador esperando left 4 dead, call of duty e battlefield, vc está em um mapa de 225km quadrados (em escala real, sem nenhum teleport ou equivalente) e os servidores (todos no momento pelo menos) comportam apenas 50 jogadores, logo se pretende compra-lo esperando um "team deathmath" vc vai quebrar a kra grande, agora se vc espera algo mais proximo a um experimento social, eu diria q é um dos maiores potenciais de jogo multiplayer q vc pode experimentar no momento.

eu recomendaria vc ler as "histórias" q rolam dentro do forum oficial, em uma delas eu e outros 2 amigos estavamos caçando um grupo de bandidos em uma cidade, observando a cena com atenção a partir de binoculos tentando encontrar uma chance boa, a coisa toda demorou mais de 1h. (se vc curte um simulador de "sniper/spoter" vc iria ficar impressionado com a cena, a gente tentando estimar a queda do tiro pra n correr o risco de se entregar errando os tiros, eles estavam em numeros maiores que nós)

um outro caso interessante foi um breve tiroteiro em um aeroporto, onde eu fui ferido mas os que atiraram atiraram na duvida, quando eu disse q "não era hostil", eles me deram bandagens (para parar o sangramento) e transfusão de sangue, até se desculparam pelo incomodo (e ainda bem q eu não morri, o seu char cai inconsciente antes disso quando perde muito sangue), atiraram primeiro pq o aeroporto é uma região particularmente tensa.

fora é claro os q jogam de bandido mas "bandido esperto", tipo "ok, somos amiguinhos", vc para para mecher na sua mochila de costas pra ele e BAM, vc leva um tiro de 12 na nuca, isso pq não existe nenhuma regra a respeito de cooperação/competição.
(ou seja, nunca tire da mira alguem que você não conhece, já escutei casos de "abaixa a sua arma q eu abaixo a minha" e deu merda)
