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.

This is the easiest way to install Day Z You can all thank me later...
You do not need the ArmA2 beta patch to join (but it is recommended).
The lastest version of Day Z for Arma 2 Combined Operations.
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.

Is it possible to make the axe secondary weapon in the game? Its kinda unproductive to switch it with a rifle than a pistol (witch is way way harder to find) since I wouldn't do that in real life, who the hell would.
I know this is just a mod but this thing has kept me from playing it because its just so damned annoying and makes guns like the Enfield and similar guns useless because of the noise they make, I know a axe would be pretty difficult to carry along with a rifle in real life, but how difficult is it to make or find a melee weapon in real life either?
Amazing game if you like 5 minute respawn times and dying a lot.
will this work on A2F?
WarZ = WhoreZ
Vote me down because you are bitch? Yeah, go ahead noob, WarZ is ****** **** **** and you know it deep down inside that you bought into a **** puppy scam artist named Sergei Titov and his WarZ box of used *** wipes. It will never be any good and DayZ is much better than it will ever be despite its shortcomings.
Goddamn fanboys ruin most things.
To be Honest, you sound like a DayZ fanboy :\
You seen any of my comments on here? Certainly not a 'fanboy'. WarZ is **** and so is DayZ. At least DayZ is free and is in "alpha" or "beta" and they admit it has problems. WarZ costs money and is full of glitches, hackers and incomplete BS just like DayZ is.
War Z is released as a full game yes, but keep in mind it is being constantly updated with new things and fixes and such (comes with the territory of being an MMO), although I do agree both are pretty ****. I mean War Z has about a dozen lies in the description on the homepage, they had to pull it from Steam because of the same lies being there as features.
The only time Sergei Titov said sorry was when his scam was uncovered and he was shown to be the true **** he was. Seriously, I got a freaking long *** letter from Hammerpoint Interactive saying how they were so sorry and that it will all be better. Bull ******* ****. If it wasn't for good online citizens warning others about what a scam WarZ was and basically warning the people that this is **** and do not buy it (which people did anyways) Sergei and friends would still be using hacks in their own game (yes, that is confirmed), still calling people faggots on their forum, still banning anyone who challenges their opinion and still telling absolute lies about how the game was. Yeah, DayZ and WarZ are both pretty shoddy overall but WarZ was released as an actual game and not a mod. Granted, Rocket has said some nasty **** to a few posters in the past but nothing like Sergei.
The point of DayZ are other real people. If you want single-player experience wait for State of Decay (PC, X360), which is being developed since 2010. It's the closest to DayZ you can get in single player in terms of world and survival but also very different in some aspects.
