So cool, reasons like this is why I wish I had a better internet connection. I hope the graphics in those pictures are as good as the game graphics, if so I think we may have a winner here.

War Z, really? Love the idea, akin to DayZ(love the game) but I see the amount of time put into the naming is staggering.rolleyes.gif

Depending how it is out of the box I'd think this game would be best sold at $30. I would happily pay that as long as it's polished and has the Arma realism. I'm skeptical of the mmo system that it seems to talk about.

As much as it is a copy, I would still buy and play it DayZ is fun but so difficult to handle with its own bugs and general ARMA2 bugs, it can just be so incredible frustrating especially with your prone turn slightly and break a random bone.

Well, they didn't even bother trying to come up with an original name. It's almost like they want people to know they completely ripped off DayZ (trying to 'steal' some of the 500,000 players DayZ already has?). I hope it's good and all, and competition leads to motivation, but just looking at the pics I can tell that they played DayZ for a few hours and said "Let's release this before the original developer(s) do." And if that's the case, it probably won't be anywhere near as good as DayZ.

The major difference is that DayZ is a fantastic mod for a hardcore military simulation game...We are creating a standalone game, with the entire world designed around a zombie apocalypse, so that players feel completely immersed in that environment.

Major difference? Isn't this exactly what Rocket is doing? I just don't see how this can be better when Rocket is not only making it a stand-alone game with the Arma3 engine, but also taking into consideration the feedback of half a million players. If you go to the DayZ forums, you will see him responding constantly in threads suggesting this exact same concept.

I want to like this upcoming game, but I can't help but see it as a complete rip-off. Trying to win over DayZ's fan-base by giving this game such a similar name is so tacky, seriously.

Honestly, It looks like it could be a great game, but they should really try coming up with something more creative. I read through the features and I felt like I was reading an overview of Day Z. I'm not sure I really want it to be a MMORPG either, I kinda like the way Day Z has things with no quests or leveling up. (If that's the route War Z is trying to take). If they can come up with something really game changing then I'd really support them. Regardless I'll probably end up getting the game anyways to play with friends.

Hopefully people will realize the amazement of the open world pvp. So many things listed here apart from few are from ultima online. Nearly nothing they feature is unique.

Hopefully the mainstream MMO mentality that is grieving the term mmorpg and having nothing to do with the genre will disappear. I really do wanna see UO2 but not from EA.

You have a source saying DayZ will be on the ArmA III engine?
