Yes but you cant just run around in some random forest doing whatever the **** you want in it lol. This place is more fun to explore than skyrim.

Skyrim wasn't too fun to explore in the first place. Out of all of Bethesda's games, I think Fallout 3 had the best overworld. I agree though, DayZ looks like the most explorable world by far.

If you can get off to a zombie apocalypse, you might want to go get that checked.  

;( i found this mod 5 weeks ago but have a mac... So i converted it to a pc, bought the 2 games, started it up, arma 2 combined ops said my cd code was invalid when i bought off steam meaning someones used a code generator to illegally get the game by using the cd code, so i couldnt play that or get the mod, and arma 2 had a misted blue screen when i tried to play it, and lagged so badly it took 1minute for the mouse to move an inch on the title screen... Shattered my dreams forevaaaa  

Battle field 3 has good gfx but this game dayz has nice graphics and all but alot of trees and bushes are 2-D and they look good from a distance but up close they fail

I'd like to see an image of this, because so far I haven't seen any 2-D trees.  

Little video of DayZ for the uninitiated that want to see what its like acquiring tools:

cloning equipment.

also, DayZ is not really ultra realistic, but it would be hard to be ultrarealistic anyway, the controls suck, the game itself is complicated to even install and get working, and until a actual game itself for it is made instead of a alpha mod it should not be getting the attention it is getting as it isnt even technically its own game.

Controls suck? Its easy to use. And its graphics are fantastic. As for installing all you need to do is install the six lanucher and click "Install" its super easy. How can you even say any of these things if you own a Mac?  

I'm curious, what do you do on the game? It looks fun, I had an itch to play it with a few friends/guild members earlier, but I watched a 20 minute video and all it seemed to be was non-stop walking around and running from zombies. I understand if that is the main concept, but is there more to it? Also, what happens when you die?

Basically, you start off with nothing on the coast of a mysterious area. You need food/water/weapons to survive, so the whole goal of the game is to obtain these materials by any means possible. These materials are mainly in urban areas (Where the zombies are) so you have to strategize, sneak around the village, and think ahead to get weapons and supplies to defend yourself, hunt animals for food, and eventually make a base for yourself. If you get hurt, you don't auto heal so you need a bandage to stop the bleeding (They are rare) Thats the catch. But zombies aren't the greatest threat- people trying to survive and take your gear are. When you die, its perma death and you loose everything usually unless you can somehow find your stuff in the 8 mile wide free roam world.

Tl;Dr: Its a very strategic and unique zombie game in an open world format based on survival of the fittest.  

Ehehe...

I'm gonna delete my post now.
