If that's the case then this game is ruined from the start.
no offense but if you think this company have developed an mmo game in 3 months from ground up you're pretty thick , it has z in the title so what?

lol... no. I've played DayZ twice
Based on what I read in OP, and the timing of it, it seems like they are cashing in on the hype of it all. I don't have a problem with that though, if it's good I don't care 
From reading your first post, it sounds like you are the one with some sort of grudge.
ARe you kidding me? Do i need to point out the guy with the cap and the backpack, the 80 other similarities to Day Z, the fact its called War Z and the fact that every other person in this forum, the staff of PC Gamer, in fact EVERYONE including the War Z devs Who point out the *major* difference is this is standalone... And you still thnk its coincedental!!!
yah, im thick.
It has been in development longer before Rocket ever came up with DayZ, as the developer said; it was a great opportunity that DayZ came out while this was in production as they've taken a lot of things DayZ have done well (just features, not a whole concept), it was originally called The Z World or The World Z, and got changed to WarZ to mimic DayZ, not sure why but thats what they did.
To be quite honest, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the development team Rocket left and refuses to talk about, I won't be surprised if we hear that he ripped off their IP down the line.

Evidently you are
Its possible but i would have thought there would be law suits galore as that would be theft of IP. The other way round there is no IP for a mod so this could happen. i have no doubt this has been in development, possibly as something else. But this is pure Day Z inspired now, you only have to look at the survivor in that ss.
You do realise there is a very well known book called World War Z? Also it's being made into a movie.

Good rebuttal, you must practice inbetween grammar lessons.

Funny how you call someone a fanboy whilst sounding just as fanatical as a fanboy in a negative way.
In regards to the game, it looks great, but sounds a bit meh. Still, hopefully it will be good.
Similar games were always inevitable, given the success of Dayz. But we can say we were there when developers realized there was a market for hard, unforgiving game worlds that don't patronize the player. Thanks Rocket
Maybe, again, Rocket could have had a usb full of files and concept art and just made the mod based on what was on it. Its just as easy to twist this to say DayZ ripped off WarZ.
Not too sure if they had a patent on the IP, its extremely rare for developers to do that, so Rocket could have legally walked away and started by himself, just look at Torchlight.
All I've done is twist this whole 'DayZ ripoff' rubbish people are talking the other way around, hardly being a fanboy.

This will beat DayZ, as long as the movement's better than ArmA 2 engine can produce, which shouldn't be hard.
