DayZ might be the talk of the PC gaming town at the moment, but for all its qualities at the end of the day it’s still just a mod. It’s using the engine and effects from ArmA II, which play a big part in helping the game achieve its brooding atmosphere.
The ArmA series can be mean, sure, but stick with them and they’re also hugely rewarding. Kind of like this E3 trailer for ArmA III. Kind of.
