Zeus is a gamemode in Arma for up to 16 players. The scenario starts empty with nothing to do, and up to 2 game masters (called Zeus's) have to create objectives on the fly for other players using their intuition and creativity.
I've seen some gameplay rarely found in traditionally scripted missions. Every scenario is vastly unique in Zeus because the Game Master can throw down little surprises with every objective and make some unpredictable missions.
As Zeus you can create far more unique objective types in one mission, as well as change the game play at will to keep things exciting. As a result, missions are always different.
I've also found some of the highest quality players in Zeus servers. There's always loads of decent people willing to cooperate and use thier mic. Most of the time, they are not kids and trolls. These are random mature people who play in squads realistically with some laughs, sometimes better than DAM does.
There is one BIG downside to Zeus however.
If the Game Master is shit, vote kick him or move to another server.
Else when the Game Master is good, the experience is great.
These are the kind of people who should join us, and the place to recruit good people into DAM.
Me and Mjac played some Zeus last night with me as the Game Master, and we really enjoyed it. Short story was we had to destroy a weapon cache. Only problem was when we returned to base, it was overun with AAF. So we had to destroy our base too. lol.
We think it would be a great idea if our group can play in one of these servers, or set one up with no mods. We can have some memorable gameplay. It's also an exciting way to recruit decent people into DAM since the guys who join are always willing to cooperate and play as a team. You would need a decent Game Master to really enjoy it however. I'm an experienced Zeus if you need help.
If you have played on a Zeus server before and didn't like it, I encourage you to give it another try. The quality of missions and players is better than before. You won't regret it.
