Good memories for sure, i really wish i could play the version from back then. I remember that at some point they made infection so obnoxious that i have quit the game and never played it again.
Infections obnoxious? I have played the mods (vanilla, epoch, origins) every week for 11 or 12 years and infections have always been treated with antibiotics or wipes. Pretty simple. In Origins it is a bit more complicated, since you need to gain knowledge and create the antidote yourself, so maybe that was what you were playing? One sollution is to go and die strategically and just respawn and get back to your stuff :)
@kane2239 This is how I remember it. Hit by a zed? Infection. Drank unboiled water? Infection. Stand near someone sick? Infection. I think I also got an infection when getting transfusion but I'm not sure about that. I don't remember the wipes item you mentioned it wasn't there yet most likely. Antibiotics? Yes, but only at hospitals and crash sites anything else ring and it only had one use. I took an antibiotic? Cool I'm treated. 5 minutes later, hit by a zombie. Infection. Vanilla chernorus official servers only. You pair this with cheaters and bugs. Well you get a straw that broke the camel's back. And I had no interest in either unhinged modded servers or admin abuse or both. I remember good times but the more I write the more negative things I remember as well so i better stop until I realize something contradicting my previous comment
Standalone is sheet? Mod good both in terms of optimization and the fact that it does not contain many unnecessary details. So much time has passed and they still haven’t been able to do anything normal with this pile of money.
I've been working on an Arma 3 DayZ for 9 years, Arma 2 DayZ Overpochins (DayZ Overwatch, DayZ Epoch, DayZ Origins) was my goal for feel but went me own way eventually. Standalone just never felt right to me and tried too hard to be a survival game with zombies which it devolved into a cluttered, clunky, soulless zombie game. Been seeing more of Arma 2 gameplay recently and the way Arma 2 engine handled skys and distant terrain makes me sad Arma 3 doesn't do the same still, seems reforge took a note out of Arma 2 in terms of distant terrain which is nice.
@@Yagdrol It's always been a survival game, they just added more to it in standalone than "just surviving" and there's more tiers to the loot than just "gun spawn in military bases" it's actually dependant on how far from spawns you are now so you don't have new survivors w as50's and people up north with nothing worth looting bc they already have the best shit before getting there. As someone that's made mods for both versions, standalone is far superior on a mechanical level because that's what it was made for.
Thats how is how arma 2 dayz mod was.. I kill at 600mts with akm. Not was hack,the weapon gameplay is the best in arma 2 because is a military simulation.
Vanilla Flashback (EU) server, has an active owner and active players. It usually has about 3-9 people on during the daytime. Occasionally there is 10+ players on the server.
It's hard to tell how many players still play Arma 2 mods, since not everone is playing at the same time. If you need many players and PvP there are 1-3 servers that has that. If you do not need lots of players there are lots of servers with cool custom locations, custom scripts and so on, both pvp and pve.
@@JeDoubleUTube There was a hack that instantly crashed a server and it was a problem with the game not the servers so there was nothing that server owners could do, i remember there was a span of like 2 weeks where the server would crash straight after coming back up and it happened to like the last like 10~ populated servers and after it stopped they average like 10players, was sad.
Not exactly true. The game peaked in 2014 and then very very slowly the playerbase decreased over a long period of time. Now the playerbase is quite small after about 13 years, but is increasing the last few months for some reason :). Sure, hackers have been around in all of these 13 years, but they didn't take down the game.
@@kane2239 they did, like I said dayz had like 1k players left after the streamer boom, it was like a month straight of every single server getting insta crashed and the player count just never recovered
They ruined this. Had the best time with it over 10 years ago, but they simply ruined it. And it felt like they did it ob purpose. Standalone has always sucked compared to the arma2 mod, and it still sucks to this day.
Both Epoch and Origins are better than Vanilla. Epoch is probably the best, because so many things can be done with it, and it is still being developed, believe it or not :)
I miss the old sounds. The footsteps, the guns clacking. Like ASMR to my ears.
glad im not the only one
still got ptsd from ladders in the arma 2 dayz mod
More doors than ladders for me, especially those damn fence gates😂
or switching guns mid pvp, peaking, running downhill,uphill, getting or getting on a rock. all classics
@rafox66 just remember mounting the ladders and boom broken legs just like clockwork 🤣
@maniac12098 laying down under trees and get bugged underground
@@rafox66stairs was the ptsd
man i loved this game soooooo much. Beautiful piece of art
Guys we gotta combine all our friends and bring the og gamers together to revive this game. No servers in NA ever have players ):
Im down
Im down too @@novitch0k705
play on vanilla flashback its gets 20 players just about everyday. ping doesnt matter unless its above 500
Fun to see that UA-camrs still play this 😎 Will you upload some more of a2 Dayz ?
i have my best gaming memories in the orginal dayz mod!
i miss the good old times, low fps and the nice arma 2 sounds😃
The golden age of DayZ
I loved the old AI bandits, its a shame they haven't been added to the standalone
They have, but for some reason servers dont run it
@ oh really? I wonder why. Maybe it causes massive server issues
DayZ Origins was the best❤
Is the best. Played it yesterday.

I remember being able to climb to the ladder through fire station wall
There are still somewhat populated EU servers guys
great! I played it too. and I miss Origins lol
team immunity requieM? damn man I remember you from way back in the old BF days after Ministry clan died out
cars work better than dayz today, wtf
It wasn’t dayz engine it was running off arma
inventory system in dayz mod is 1000x better than standalone
that's just blatantly false
Standalone is sheet? Mod good both in terms of optimization and the fact that it does not contain many unnecessary details.

best game oat

@@Yagdrol this is a wild and out of touch take

how did you get this to work ?? i have tried and it just won't load up
Make sure you launch both arma 2 and combined operations once before playing the arma 2 dayz mod. Hopefully this helps :D
u need to start the game on its own first without the mod
@@iMrequieM yeah that worked thank you
I still play it :) carpe diemz server
we still dont have ai missions and roaming ai on most servers issa shame
There are mods out there but no servers use it for some reason
is this on steam?i want to play ....butnif this arma 2 on steam i cant afford it
What server are you playing on? Maybe the game can get revived lol
@5:12 why you cheating bruvva
what the fuck are you talking about
Blatant as shit i couldnt hit those shots with my eyesight
Thats how is how arma 2 dayz mod was..
I kill at 600mts with akm.
Not was hack,the weapon gameplay is the best in arma 2 because is a military simulation.
@@AlejandroMagnoRivas it wasnt the ak it was the fast flick
How many still plays the DayZ mod? Is it worth looking into again?
There are still some servers that have people playing. If you wanna play for some nostalgia definitely give it a go :D

this is wasteland right?
What`s wrong with the DMR
What are these opponents in the beginning? Paid actors or non-players?

Hello! Server name?
Sad man, such a perfect game, it's crazy how the game was at its peak and was taken down by a group of like 10 hackers and just never recovered.
Yo what? Ive never heard of this

I disagree that its ruined, but I do feel like the movement and gameplay changed way too much from what it was.
I'll half agree with you both. In my opinion, not ruined per-se but nowhere near as good as OG
thanks mate for your video. what is online on servers DayZ mod? good luck.
the blatant aimbot is insane
you must be on something if thats aimbot
@@SNIPER-gg9ci so after 9:30 thats not aimbot, my man you are blind
bros cheating against AI lol
Suck’s nobody plays
There are still players and great servers. Depends what you are looking for.
It ain't DayZ Mod if it's not Vanilla :/
Both Epoch and Origins are better than Vanilla. Epoch is probably the best, because so many things can be done with it, and it is still being developed, believe it or not :)
i have it on steam
