Dayzmod.com

This is the first community + development team generated update for the
DayZ mod. It is the culmination of a huge amount of work by both the
community and the development team. The half-done 1.7.3 patch was made
available to the community, who included many of their own fixes and
updates. While dogs are "in" there are some mechanics missing so they
cannot currently be used. Both myself and Matt spent a significant
amount of time playing this today, and it was a lot of fun.


Credits


A small summary of those involved in actual development of the patch are as follows (visit Github.com
for the latest list).  Many others helped with testing and such. Please
get involved with the community development project! There is much
being done, new features and content. Official support is also being
made available to community development team members for some requests,
where possible.

You have to have either:
- ARMA 2 Free(worse graphics quality) and ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead,
or
- ARMA 2 Combined Operations which is ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead.

Also:
- ARMA 2 Free is free.
- ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead is $20 on Steam.
- ARMA 2 Combined Operations is $30 on Steam which is a saving of $10 if you buy both together.

no, just no. first of all you're just gonna scratch the surface of this game with DayZ, it's just a mod, it actually gets a bit boring after dozens of Player kills, this game isnt about shooting, killing or whos got the best points, it's about surviving.

secondly you. will. suck. CoD and BF players are one of the worst ones due to them thinking they can handle it. they can't. you need to play the game before going DayZ or you will be easy prey for zombies and players.
make sure you know all the necessary keys and know how to navigate, communicate and use the gear/weapons.

ITS ALL ABOUT PATIENCE, if you cant handle it dont get the game or the mod.

1st of all you are completely missing the point now. by telling that I'm hoping that people don't buy the game just for DayZ + they would try the game itself.

2ndly I did NOT refer that ALL the players who buy this are BF, or CoD fans

3rdly I did NOT refer that those players are kids.

Highest Rated (7 agree) 10/10

As far as a free to play mod comes, this is the best it can get, and it is one of the best zombie gaming experiences I have ever enjoyed.

Lowest Rated (10 agree) 1/10

Very overrated and overhyped for being a mod similar to many others. I find other zombie mods to be much better than this one, considering this is a game of run as far as you can and see what kills you. 1/10 from me.
