Most of you are familiar with the ArmA II mod DayZ. If you are one of those people than this thread will definity interest you.
So what is War Z? War Z is a stand alone game influenced by DayZ. It is a MMO survival, post zombie apocalypse, pvp and pve (player vs environment). It will feature multiple maps ranging from 200 to 400 square kilometers. Note that DayZ is set in Cherstar fish which is only 225 square kilometers. Public servers will have a player limit of 250! The highest player cap server on DayZ is only 100. Now before you start yelling "COPY!" understand that this game was being developed before DayZ was out.
