If you already have Arma 2 you can acquire the mod for DayZ here at dayzmod.com
This mod came out around the perfect time just before The Walking Dead's second half of season 2. As you might have guessing this mod takes place during a zombie apocalypse in a post soviet-state. It's an open world game that's around 225km squared. One of the biggest things about this game is that it has PERMADEATH! That's right. When your character dies, it's dead! Permanently! Everything you gained and found is lost. Not to mention ammo and weapons are scarce. You'll have to start a brand new player spawn somewhere in the world again. Knowing this you'll probably get attach to your player and be very careful then how you would play other games.
Now that intro to the game is out of the way, lets get into what I really wanted to talk about.
Yes it is an open world with crazy sprinting zombies, but there's not objectives really other then survive. So you can go it alone or team up with friends or strangers to survive. As expected there are people who just like to troll and kill people and groups of gangs that will kill and steal your weapons and yes even kidnap players. Which brings me to this article on Kotaku where a man was kidnapped and used as bait. The man that was kidnapped was Adam Ruch who tweeted his entire ordeal and even sympathized with his kidnappers. It's amazing to see how we would react in these situations and how it affects morals. You can check out the story here on Kotaku or on Storify.
Speaking of morals. Watch this video as these guys are being chased by when one guy decides to pull a Shane from The Walking Dead.
Yeah. That just happened. Would you have done it? It's interesting to see how differently a game is played when there repercussion and how people react to it. I myself don't know if I would have done the same thing but in the heat of the moment when your survival instincts kick in who knows what you'll do. You might even surprise yourself.
