Revisiting the ORIGINAL DayZ 11 years later | ARMA 2 DayZ Mod 

For anyone asking: server info is in description and yes it does have a decent amount of people playing during peak hours.

The feeling when u find tents, vehicles loaded with guns far away in the woods is undescriable..

It's been a decade... damn we are getting old

Played this back in 2012 with 15 fps 12 fps good times

Every sound took me back, the nostalgia is insane with this video. First played DayZ in 2013 and this makes me need to revisit it. This game was perfect

The sounds hit hard man, looking at all the active servers and only seeing like 2 days servers with like 15 players at peak times also hurts. Without a doubt the greatest game I have ever played and will probably remain that way forever, and to see it so dead really hurts tbh. And to think that this game was the beginning of so many ideas for the games we see today.

Man i loved this mod and i found it hilarious that i had to "reload" a melee weapon when I picked it up

All this time later, and it's still making memorable experiences you craft with your mates and remember for decades to come. This mod and Arma 2 are timeless.

as an early mod player, this bring so much great memories of playing with my mates - thank you!

The goat DayZ. Spent thousands of hours in this mod

The Dead Return is still on that list. That use to be my main server!!! I recognize that loading screen when you had to log back in.

Some of my best gaming memories were from mod. I went back a couple years ago and stood up my old server and tried it again and holy crap it feels so bad now. Something about the atmosphere was better...but the jank is real. Another thing about the mod I feel is lost with standalone is how rewarding and substantial it felt setting up a small camp with a few tents and some barbwire.

2:30 Huge agree - im not even a mod player, but visiting a number of times to analyse in comparison to standalone, the colours of the mod has this very depressing but still vibrant atmosphere, the greens are super rich, and the shadows are dark. The sky is bright but not blinding. It's really unique and something I'd love to see replicated with colour correction in standalone. I actually think the game that had the closest to this colour grading is Miscreated, but i think that game had a clarity issue.

im happy to see a vet was supprised to see how little of the new player base doesnt know this exist XD

Dayz epoch was the shit

19:22 You were tempting FATE with that stunt, bro, especially in Arma 2 of all games

Hands down the music and enviromental sounds make A2 DayZ, as you said. Id love to see some kf the sounds passed over!

Haha you even made the thumbnail with that classic Frankie DayZ Mod vibe, even if it's not intentional. xD. Very good video! I honestly get kinda sad and glad too when I think about the days that I used to play DayZ mod before moving to Standalone in 2014-2018. Sadly the group I used to run with back then no longer gets online anymore. Hell my old buddy Kolton and Bunkakes that I played the mod with all the time.. WOW I remember the first time I met Kolton bro... Met in Elektro Firestation in DayZ and honestly both of us had a shady meetup but that was the thing with DayZ= It's hard to trust anyone but man the cool thing is that we engage in a good o'le fashion Axe off to the death! He ended up winning but you wanna know what he said to me before I respawned? He said bro you wanna meet up and team up with me and my friend (Bunkakes) ? It was at that moment I met two good friends and I said yes. We ended up meeting at the edge of Elektro outskirts in the hills and we all teamed and went looting. We shared a brotherly bonds for the next 4 years but then the Mod became depopulized over the years and Standalone was becoming more and more big and well, we all grew up.. Tiss the way of life. I actually hate saying this but I havn't seen both of my Comrades in arms for over 5 years since 2019 man. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have kept playing DayZ maybe and got into Epoch/Overpoch. As always, all we can do is move on. The memories we shared and the times we had will never go away. Thanks my Brothers, whatever you both are doing I hope y'all are doing well and living your lives in peace. I hope we'll get the chance to speak to eachother again. But until then, the present comes first.

It is time to give the Mod a go again. I remember in 2015 there was a server that ran on a version from 2012. I wish someone ran a server like that these days. Also, clever play with the car.

DayZ Mod is better than SA and we all know it.

Yes bro more of this please 😎 Nostalga 100

This server is amazing!!

I like this more than DayZ

Original and best! Epoch mod is still getting updates and interesting servers are still popping up.

Would love more videos

the goat 🐐 🐐

The game is still scary and epic.

I played the fuck out of this game back in the day

LOL, the crowbar shotgun

This seems like a later version than I remember playing and loot seems turned up alot. Getting a decent gun was very difficult

WOAH MY FAVORITE RU-vidR IS ON THA DAYZ MOD

the best game ever ! best mod !

I like your channel is the best in the world 🌎🌎

go play some arma 2 day z epoch on the genesis server. Lot's of fun.

Did this a few months ago, wasn't a lot of loot 😂

i wanna go back :[

Honestly this video just show that cyber bullying is a thing

Good old game! Almost vanilla... but not good enough

are there even people on servers anymore?

IF JUST DAYZ SA HAS VERY SIMPLE CHANGES LIKE, BASE SPAWN-CONSTRUCTION, LIKE 10X MORE LOOT, AND 10X CARS TO MOVE OR BIKES AND LESS DEAD ZONES LIKE 10 KM OF ONLY OPEN FIELD OR FOREST, AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRADER TO GO AND SAVE YOUR SHIT TO NEVER LOSE IT, IN THAT WAY U CULD TAKE SOME STUFF AND GUNS QUICK AND GET IN ACTION FAST. OTHERWISE DAY Z SA IS A RUNNING SIM FOR ME BY NOW.

they ruined a2dz when they introduced buildable bases instead of tents, it forced everyone into clans and as per usual power corrupts so ends up with the admin clan hoarding everything. As a lonewolf I had so much fun in 2012 but it's almost impossible to lonewolf a2dayz now. What I don't miss (tried again a few years ago) is the dynamic lighting, you look upwards (like up a hill) and everything goes dark, you look down and everything goes too bright. Hard to aim at people. I'd love to just take arma 3 and then make a dayz mod for it based on a 2012 patch. There was one patch which froze all the zombies too so made the game much more PvP which was really fun, once you get to know the game and access to baller guns, zombies just get in the way and become an annoyance.

How you downloaded DayZ mod, i try through dzlauncher but file seems corrupted and cannot download it fully

so u played this game for years now and did not buy the hd models for 1 dollar in the dlc?

Click Bait!!! We never found an AN-2!!!!!!!111!!111😠

rat

dayz standalone is an insult and a disgrace to the masterpiece Arma 2 dayz mod. 1 hour on overpoch can be like 10 hours of progress in standalone. I could and did get a safe within 1 hour of spawn. How is standalone better? Some parts perhaps but overall its garbage. My opinion i know but most people haven't played or experienced Arma 2 dayz, so they like standalone. I just hate how older games are better ( still ) compared to newer games. Example COD. Standalone has and will get better, but its too late lol. But it takes too much time. And i can't have fun that way. The mod was just perfect. And they gave us utter trash tbh. I don't even like watching standalone that's why I'm here, trying to find recent vids on the mod.

Lmao that CDA pic at NWAF. I remember that shit. Good memory. Has it been a decade already?
