DayZ mod 1.6.0.1

Very well detailed mods are always something that is hard to come by. While there are many great mods out there, there are very few that get nearly as much attention to the great detail put into it like the Day Z mod for Arma II. In fact, this mod became so famous for its detail and fun gameplay that the developers eventually decided to make a separate game specifically for the mod. 

Day Z

The mod takes you into a different reality that does not exist in Arma II, in which you are in a world where you must fight for survival not only against a zombie apocalypse, but also against other players. It is you against the world, unless you choose to team up and make friends with other players in the game. This mod is also exceptionally fun if you play it with your friends. You and your friends can team up and protect one another from the dangers of the Day Z universe.

Once you die in DayZ, that is it. You lose all of your items and re-spawn in a different location. If you were killed by another player, you more than likely won't be getting your stuff back. The gameplay can be brutal for newcomers without prior knowledge of the DayZ Mod but if you hang in there and learn the ropes this mod can be extremely fun and guaranteed to keep your entertained for hours at a time.

The game tries to give you a realistic experience of how it would be if a zombie apocalypse was actually occurring in real life. You will skydive into the map on the server you choose, and will start. Your character will experience pretty much everything an average human would in real life when dealing with situations. It seems you have to worry about just about everything except "going to the bathroom". Though, that is alright. You will have a lot more to worry about, like your hunger, how cold you are, how wet you are, protecting yourself from zombies and other players as well. All of these things will determine your overall health in the game. If you become cold and wet from being out in the rain, you could die of disease. If you are harmed by another player or a zombie, you will start bleeding and if you do not try to stop the bleeding, you will eventually die. Basically, it is important to keep in mind all of the factors that are in play when it comes to keeping your character alive. Most of these factors would be things you would probably have to worry about in real life as well. So, it should be easy to determine what you should or should not do in the game when you are playing it.
