    Hey folks,
    just wanted to know if anyone else here is playing this. Had some fun times yesterday with our peeps and thought i might try getting this more attention.

    Wasteland is basically a survival sandbox not unlike DayZ. The basic premise revolves around conflict between three factions that are fighting over resources in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Like in DayZ you're scavenging weapons, supplies and vehicles while trying not to survive. Dynamic missions which give you access to advanced equipment are generated randomly and become hotspots for all-out warfare.

    Originally developed for ArmA 2, this popular mission file has been ported to Arma3 ever since the alpha release.

    To give you an idea, here's a video:

    Installation:

    Being a mission file, you don't have to download or install anything. Instead the required files are being transferred automatically when you enter a wasteland server.
    Just use the "fiter" option in the server browser and search for "wasteland" under mission type.

    There are a couple of different versions of this mod, the most balanced, stable and advanced one of these being the "Wasteland by Sa-Matra (v3)", running on the WS.ARMA.SU servers, which i highly recommend.



    If this sort of thing piques your interest, give it a try! If you don't own Arma 3, shame on you! Go buy it right now.

    I definitely like the looks of this mod, going to be a month or two before I can afford to buy and have the time to play any.

    it's a lot more stable now, although it does crash sometimes. In ~8 hours of playtime i experienced 1 crash.
