I must have it.

It's an open world, real (server) time zombie apocalypse mod for Arma 2 and looks freaking awesome. I don't know how it's escaped my attention up till now...
The object is to survive either as an individual or as groups while you battle the zombies or fight to rob others of resources such as ammunition, food and drink, etc.

Yeah I've known about this for a while. In essence it is a prisoner dilemma machine, if you cooperate with others it is piss easy, but there are players out their who don't want to co-operate, they want to kill you for your stuff. However some of those doing that are cooperating with each other. From that P.O.V. it's quite fascinating.

There is also, The War Z. Which is coming out soon and as you can see is similar in many ways except it is it's own game rather than an expansion.

It seems that Dayz mod for Arma 2 is being released as a standalone game (soon,hopefully). Several issues have/are being addressed such as optimising the zombies (they were causing lag because they were too complex, apparently), hacking issues are being seen too and other things being discussed...such as introducing cannibalism into the game ( http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/top ... nnibalism/ :twisted: ).


I repeat.......I must get this game!
