(Warning: the biggest downside to this mission is it's not persistent like DayZ. Keep in mind that if you log out, you lose everything. Though it's very quick to get back in the game, so it's not much of an issue imo.)

Hey guys, I figured I'd put this up for anyone who plays DayZ with a challenge to give this mod a go.

All it takes to run (on most servers) is a copy of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead (you should be right to go if you play DayZ).

Start the game up without any mods (except beta), then filter by "Wasteland" and there are about 8-10 servers, which are often full at the moment.

So the gameplay is kind of like DayZ in the sense that you have to find food and eat, but the point of it is faction warfare. You can choose one of 4 factions (Bluefor, Opfor, Independent, Civvy) and then you spawn in Chernarus.

From there, you need to find a vehicle (there are lots, it's not hard) and start searching them for a weapon. Every now and then, a mission will occur, such as finding a downed helicopter and stealing the weapons cache, or attacking an AI base.

The reward for completing the task? PvP action (where you can get money to buy weapons from the store) and parts for base building!

You can load sandbags, deerstands, bunkers etc into vehicles and place them anywhere you want to make a base.

I've only just started playing it myself, so I don't know a whole lot else about it, but I do know that I've had an arseload of fun.

Here's a vid to PsiSyndicate's first video on it, he goes through and shows some basics / talks about features / etc.

Hmm I can't seem to find it inside the game with the server browser.

Did you filter the server name with "wasteland"?

Leave the game type blank and you should get a few servers popping up.

If that doesn't work, might want to check your filters aren't excluding a bunch of stuff / setup for DayZ or something.

Yeah in the Steam version of the game I've got no filters set, no games seem to show up. I normally use Play withSIX to launch DayZ these days, the launcher doesn't have wasteland on it yet.Edit: Does it require the beta patch?

You could try that, but I would have thought it'd show up regardless.

I have mine running beta as a default, so that might be what's causing it.

::EDIT:: I am running mine through the ArmA II launcher 3.1.1.

Only thing I have turned on is the beta and then I just click "Launch OA" and it throws me in.

Hmm ok I reset the filters and it seems that there's a lot of wasteland servers but not australian ones?

Nope, sadly, but the game plays fine even on the Russian servers, imo.

Was playing on a US West server last night (230ms latency or so) and didn't even notice it.

I'm hoping the mod picks up and takes off like DayZ did, so we end up with a few Aussie clan servers, but it's still fun without them.

wow looks good.
will be giving this one a crack tonight!!

Quick update, there's an Aussie server up that's full most nights. They've mentioned they're trying to integrate the mission to a dayZ style hive, so that might be interesting :D
