  • I still don't have this game but I want it so bad :( I just haven't been able to save enough money for it with all the new releases coming out lately :(
  • It must be pewdiepie's fan base. Just saying.
  • ARMA II ? stands for what
  • Impressive.

  • I have a feeling many game companies are looking at this now, and seeing the dollar signs. Probably wont be long before there is a formal game made around this concept.
  • Well done not played it (dont have a good enough computer) but i do LOVE watching some of the videos on youtube about it :)
  • I don't doubt the peeps who are playing it are having fun with it, but when I watch gameplay of it I can't imagine myself actually playing such a rough (good lord is is rough) around the edges alpha with a stack of properly finished titles at my disposal. Perhaps down the road when it's late beta...
  • Only wish I had the money to download it online.
  • this is a kotaku-tier article right here lol.
  • The mod would be a whole lot better if it was not for hackers. They really are out to ruin every game.

  • i wish i had internet to play this...
  • This is how games should be if you are going to make an MMO.
  • I just recently heard about it, looks like a lot of fun. I don't have time for it unfortunately but later i may check out the War Z when it comes out.

  • A little info on what the game actually is would have been nice. I've heard of this and been wanting to play it, but I can't find a really good explanation of what it is.
  • They killed the mod with the recent updates.
  • I don't have a PC that can handle this but I love watching devildoggamer's "Survive" Day-Z videos. They started out a little shaky but they're real interesting now.

  • If I had a gaming PC I would love to play this.
  • It's funny how barely playable it is from a control standpoint and how successful it is. Definitely has a magnetic atmosphere that makes it hard to put it down, but it's so unforgiving in its difficulty that I'm surprised it found an audience this big.

    Guess that dozens of iterations of lackluster zombie games were just paving the way for a legitimate zombie experience.

  • It's cool and all, but I'm waiting for some it's serious problems to be fixed before I play. I've been watching a ton of videos of it and it looks fun, but I just don't want to deal with all of the problems it has at this moment.

    I'm also holding out for War Z.

  • And people said PC gaming is dead...
