Day Z?

Steam has a demo

Awesome. Don't expect it to be like CoD/BF, though.
There's tons of mods for it increasing realism even further, a LOT of maps, units, vehicles etc.
However, I'd recommend getting it at store.bistudio.com, as the developers get the most for their work that way. Also, Steam does some scary sh*t to the game's folder structures and how it's launched, and Steam in-game overlay does funny stuff as well.

Looks like a cool mod, dont own it Arma II also.

Remember that you need also need Operation Arrowhead - not just ARMA II.

looks fun but i dont have arma 2 =(

Just a warning to everybody here: You need Operation Arrowhead (or Combined Operations) for this to work; Arma II by itself will not allow this mod (and many others) to work.

I've found this out the worse way possible, if that's what you're wondering.

I brought Arma II for this reason alone. Can never have enough Zombie Love.

Kids these days and their zombies... sheesh :D

you need to get arma 2 oa and normal arma 2 to play dayz

Amazing mod, you can play for hours. Even by yourself.

Also, you need Arma Operation Arrowhead, you can use Arma 2 Free.

The textures are meh, but they aren't bad.

Edit : It's worth the money, don't wait for a sale on Arma: CO

Just buy it. :D

I've played about 200 hours of it, its pretty darn good. Models are nice, other than some human models - Gameplay is not going to be like COD/BF, u will find it to be a bit more stiffer but it has a good variety of different weapons. Flying is more realistic than your average game (for example helicopter flying in black ops 1 or bf3 helicopter and fighter jet flying) but I enjoy it more in arma - there is a mod for easier flying anyway.

I hope it'll be cheaper during the steam summer sale. By then I'll actually have some money.

So I'm kinda curious about this. I'm more interested in the player interactions more-so than the zombies. With the bandits and the like, it sounds like the closest you could get to something that feels like a "STALKER MMO".
Personally I like the idea of shooting some fleeing half-dying survivor of a zombie horde rather than picking off the Zeds. There's something almost animalistic about gunning a man down for his baked-beans.

However I assume there's going to be no decent servers form my region right off the bat.

google it

or reddit it

This mod is the bees knees.. it'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, it'll make your run screaming into the forest with a horde of 20 zombies wanting to eat your brainz. I highly recommend it. Fk sales

Also, if anyone is interested.
You can buy Arma: Combined operations for around 15 US dollars on amazon.

Day Z is very fun. Just be prepared for the massive amount of dickheads/trolls that infest it.

From the short time I played it - awesome, be warned tought - it really isn't a zombie shooter, AT ALL. You'll be crawling around zed's hoping to find some ammo, food or meds while being scared to death that a bandid shoots you and you loose your sniper rifle with 3 bullets. At night it's even more scarier and awesome, especially if you have a nice set of headphones and turn the light off. Go watch some gameplay of it and buy it! Totally worth it and as a bonus you get the original ArmaII wich I heard is a nice military sim btw =)

In a few words, what DayZ is all about?

Offtop: anyone playing that want to team up? I'm in electrozavodsk at the moment
