there is this :
old arma 2 BR
I also suggest looking at Day of Survival here , and Olives Wasteland 1987 both SP "dayz-like" missions/mods.
No zombies in those, it pits you against AI. But you have to wander and search for some combat , and supplies.
I'm kind of in the same boat as far as multiplayer goes. I played DayZ epoch and overpoch ( even ran a server at one time) , and wasteland missions for a couple of years, I took a break from arma2 for about a year, came back and same ISP , but horrible ping and latency.
I can connect to some servers ... but I'm playing like at 4-6 FPS , which as you know is totally unplayble.
as far as a BR type of game ... thats not really my ideal thing to do.
When I played online, I wasn't ever bothered about PvP , but the fact that everything was PvP did bother me. There seemed to be no "moderation, no "in between" as DayZ was intended.
( or opposite , PvE ... where you were "forced" to Co-OP , couldn't take vehicles, items from tents with-out "permission" ... it watered down the game big time. )
Most the great "mods" for dayz didn't stay up long, or even get "finished" ... aftermath, re-load, and many more ... Origins , Epoch/Overpoch kept going.
I had ignored Origins for a long time , by the time I got interested in it ... my ISP issues were bad.
Since I don't play games like fortnight and PUGB , I'm not too certain on how to start really scripting or setting one up , specifically.
Closest thing I played to that kind of game was CS:GO ... and I only did that for about 10 minutes. I just don't get a "thrill" of player vrs player "combat" like others do I guess.
maybe because I play airsoft in real life, and do it for real... I dunno.
I've just never cared for or understood the appeal of PvP pure combat in videogames.
I've seen over time that "popularity" means little when it comes to video-games. I'm not trying to say, people are "stupid" ... but that they lack imagination, and lack incentive to demand "better" from game makers.
Very few actual "good games" gain attention and popularity ... if it hadn't been for DayZ mods, Arma2 would have failed and flopped. DayZ mods, kept it going, well beyond it's life-span.
Same players though, scoff at games like Stalker ... which despite it's age and bugs, is a very well thought out, and interesting game.
Metro thats coming out soon ... I guarantee it'll be a difficult game , and will get "bad reviews" , only die-hard Metro fans enjoying it ... because players just can't logg in , and go wreck someone easily ...
Game industry is full of "failed" 'survival' games , and over-full of PvP battle-royale games. Even "star-wars" made it's PvP debut ...
Players buy them , play them until it gets old ... they might jump back in to try latest "updates" , keep going for a bit ... but inevitably they will be as played as old street fighter , hand to hand combat games.
I mean, you don't exactly see FrankieonPC going at a full Mortal Kombat tourney ... , or PSi Syn doing a review on Tekken number 10 ( or whatever latest one was.) ...
Because, such games are well ... you can only go so far with em, and do so much ... they became "un-interesting".
Sorry, I'm just very picky when it comes to "gaming" really. I'm not even really a "gamer" , lol ... I like a few games , and the rest are for other people I guess.
I didn't even join in "DayZ mods" when it was ultra-popular ... I came in late.
Then I didn't join to PvP ... even though I found I was decent enough at defending myself. I wanted to immerse myself into a zombie-apocalypse simulation ... make my own "stories".
I even see potential and want to do things in the "dayZ mods" , that I don't have knowledge or skill to do ... and sadly, the folks that had the talent, have left and went onto other things.
