Because a lot of the fun times I remember from the mod were when my squad was getting and repairing vehicles, riding in vehicles (party bus!) or flying around in helicopters for a laugh.

The thrill you got when you're flying down the road in a bus and a jeep comes around the corner towards you and everyone piles out trying to shoot the others first was insane.

Gameplay & fun comes before absolute realism.

Ahh happy days :)

Tempted to reinstall Arma2 just to run the mod and buzz around in vehicles again.

Anyone know what the mod is running like nowadays?

So....i'll ask again as I do after every update...did they fix the zombies yet?

Frankly, until they're sorted, it's not worth playing.

Depending on when you last played the zombies are better as in easier to hit, the don't usually come through doors, you can lock them in rooms.

But, they're faster, more aggressive and the crawlers are a bugger to kill. Oh and they can still sometimes hit through walls.

Zombies aren't the problem anymore anyway, the weather is the real problem. The most important thing in your inventory these days, after an axe is a box of matches ;)
 
The problems with zombies is nothing to do with the actual AI code, but is to do with server network desync. i.e. if you run into a building and close the door behind you, if there is a delay between sync with what you did and what the server sees, on the server the door is still open, and thus the zombie comes right through.
I think this is the same with hitting through floors. If desync hits whilst you are going up stairs, the server still thinks you are downstairs, and hittable by the zombie.

Therefore, if you are on a server with no or minimal desync, you should have no or minimal issue with zombie wall hacks.
 
They need to really sort the zombies out, so they are the same as the early versions of the mod.

Jeez 1.2 or something like that had 1800 zombies on the server at one point, and there was very little or no desync.. That was on a 50 man server and it was virtually full all the time...
 
its a lot better. inventory stuff is very quick now just little things you dont think about but it makes playing there game easier.

fps for me is better.

zombies seemed better but not how we wanted them yet but i understand why so not to bothered yet. the other stuff needs doing before adding the zombies how they should be hopefully in next 2 months for beta.
