A nice read similar to my previous Day Z posts from my buddy. Check it out.

Your posts are really making me want to get this game; here's to hoping ARMA II goes on sale during the Steam sale!

It is a lot of fun, but it is very annoying when you get killed by a random ass person for no reason.

Yeah it sounds amazing up until the "can be randomly killed by other players for no reason" thing :\ maybe they'll come up with a "PvE" server. I get that people like that style and more power to 'em, but a more "co-op" would be fun.

Yeah, they need to make it so you can actually form squads and such. It is only in Alpha though, so there is time.

I think a part of the reason players randomly kill each other for no reason is that it sounds like there is not much else to do once you get some supplies and weapons. I feel like this mod could get really good if they make some PvE "quests" or random events such as defending your camp from zombie hordes, etc. Many players need a reason/reward to unite with others. And I think it's more fun when there are things to work on.

One thing I'm wondering about is that you seem to break your leg for pretty much anything (fight zombie, get shot, fall down, etc)? Or is "breaking leg" the game's way of saying you're too hurt and have to crawl around? Anyway, I'm still very interested so I might pick it up if it goes on Steam sale.
