You guys should give DayZ Mod another shot, it's inmproved a lot since it's original days, taking a lot of the features of the stand alone (crafting, weapon attachments boiling water etc etc) and implimented them in a far better way Performance is a solid 60fps at least now too.
I've been playing on the Europa servers (1st & 3rd person) for a few months, both run the vanilla mod how it's intended, it's still the definitive survival experience for me, and the dynamic has changed quite a bit as it's now hard to just survive with enough to eat or drink, so player interaction is not always bandit now and you'll see more people in the wilderness than just finding them at Stary or NWAF.
