I used to love Dayz, but after the detection issues it kinda ruined it for me. I do hope WarZ is good though, but time will tell. I also hope DayZ retail is better then it is in its current state.

There are MANY reasons to dislike DayZ but the "Core Gamer" crowd will not hear a bad word against it and fury will be unleashed by them on anyone else creating a game, with Zombies. Not withstanding a casual, accessible Zombie game.
That is not to say DayZ is bad, it is an amazing piece of work.
I just find an unhealthy amount of elitism surrounding it.

I dont know if thats true anymore. I posted some negative stuff on the forums a while back and got about a 50/50 response rate. I think everyone knows Dayz has a lot of problems but i think most of those are around the very obvious abandonment of the mod by Rocket and crew to concentrate on the standalone. Cant say i blame him.
As to the vid, Hmmm well he has some points, i think theres no doubt the Co. lied about a 'zombie' game being in dev for a long time, no doubt War inc. was. But i dont agree its vapourware, whether theyre just cuttng and pasting a dayz theme into War inc. (and lets be honest, they are), there is a game there.
I honestly did not think it would be much cop in the first place, so my expectations are low. But ill give it a go, you never know. Sure wont be pre-ordering though ahaha. Nobody yet can answer my question - is it open world or instanced? Anyone who played War inc. know?

Nah no pre-order from me either on WarZ even though I will buy it anyway but will just wait a bit for a better price, whatever that is. Regarding DayZ has Rocket or anyone said the retail version will be different from what we have now. I am guessing he/they would not go to all the trouble if they didnt have big improvements for retail. I dont pick on Dayz but I played it from the start so I do know detection got real sucky, not just saying it after a few games, I spent hours on it and kinda miss it.
The main problem is that it's incredibly glitched but it owes a lot of that to being an ARMA II mod.
The other things are subjective really, if you are after a hardcore survival game with zombies it's amazing. If not then clearly it's not
Im guessing a lot is stripping out of arma everything that isnt needed (weps, vehicles, textures etc.) and maybe locking it down a lot more. dayz does not need that scripting fuctionality so im guessing that will go too. That will help the hacking situation. Plus a lot of glitches were caused by arma updates, silly stuff like revolvers becoming wimpy and stuff like that. Looking forward to the standalone, but dont want to get too ot. Hope warz is good but not holding my breath.

I like the look of it so far, it's certainly not a scam. I'm just glad it's off that horrid Arma engine.

Just name an engine that can do everything the Arma 2 engine can better cause I very much doubt the War z will come close I'm afraid.

The gun was silenced.
On to an even worse engine that makes it look like a budget generic shooter? Oh wait it is.
Whatever floats your boat.

Ah come on man lets at least wait until it hits retail and play the final version.

I'm confused what the oh dear is at.
Doesn't look bad at all.
Obvious Crysis rip off with the gun customisation though (The way, it looks just like Crysis 1)
Obviously the gun shooting wasn't great, that said, every video I've seen of DayZ has similar poor shooting mechanics.

looks good so far, arma engine is TERRIBLE, so this will be a nice change.
