I read about this mod on Kotaku last week. I could not get it out of my head and had to try it out. Well I spent the better part of Sunday just running around in this game! Most people wouldn't like that sort of thing but I for some reason do. It seems that a lot of us do, as the servers were packed all weekend.

I had never played Arma II before this, but I had read about it. Its a 'realistic' simulator which takes a little getting used to. This mod though takes it further..
Currently the mod is alpha still, and it can be frustating even just trying to get into a server. But once you are in, and comfortable with the controls, its an intense ride.
You are basically thrown into a soviet era world named Chernarus after an infection has killed off most of the population and now zombies inhabit the urban zones. You start off as a Survivor, and if you choose to kill other Survivors, you are then labelled (and your outfit changes) a bandit. Its a giant sandbox game where there are no rules basically.
If you don't feel like walking or running everywhere, you can gather up scrap metal and fix up cars, buses, even a helicopter! You will have to find a jerry can though and refuel the vehicle though!
Life in Chernarus is pretty bleak. I am finding a lot of people are trying meet up with each other to form gangs or packs in order to stay alive. Bandits are always tracking others looking to kill them and steal their inventory and of course the zombies are everywhere and fast!
Anyway, I thought I would pass on the fun/frustration I had with this mod.
