OT: Welcome to the Wasteland

[M-Type]

I know some people have mentioned having ARMA II here before, and I have just recently purchased Combined Operations myself. I haven't had the chance to check out the lauded DayZ, but I have had a chance to play Wasteland. It's technically a 'mod' that doesn't require an install, you just need to find the right server and get going!

Wasteland is the perfect tie-in with T2000. The game is broken into three teams, BLUFOR, OPFOR, and Independent. BLUFOR is basically Americans and the OPFOR are Russians. Independents are like marauders, as they can prey on anyone in the map. Each team spends their time trying to survive in the map while achieving secondary objectives to help them out. You have to find food and water, fuel and ammo for your weapons, and fix up vehicles when they break. You can also find props to fortify your bases, creating cantonments if you want to look at it that way.

In the brief hour I played, I teamed up with a BLUFOR convoy, helped fortify their base, help fix up a helicopter they found, and lay low as we were besieged by a bright orange Independent BRDM. After killing the driver, I gained our team a free BRDM I unfortunately had to quit, but there was talk of using the helicopter to assault the OPFOR base...

So if you've got ARMA II (I think you need Operation Arrowhead as well, I got it in the Combined Operations package so I'm not sure), check out a Wasteland server and choose your team!
