No, the DayZ concept in itself is loving handicapped but every ambitious indie friend wants a slice of the pie that even Bohemia Interactive couldn't pull off. So you basically get one pile of garbage and several rip-off piles of garbage that each do a worst job than the last. examples include H1Z1, WarZ, ect. The forget even is DayZ anyway? I tried playing it again the other day and I ended up spending several hours walking around doing loving nothing until I had all sorts of crazy military gear and more baked beans than I could ever possibly need. And then you get your head blown off by some guy you didn't see and you start all over. I hope that 'Escape from Tarkov' game or whatever it's called doesn't follow DayZ too closely and actually has some sort of functional gameplay element other than 'walk from point A to B for no reason at all'.
What gameplay elements are you looking for from DayZ OP? Zombies? Permadeath? The hardcore aspect? Survival (managing hunger + stuff)? Truth be told I want to recommend STALKER: Call of Pripyat with the Misery 2.1 modification to you, because it's the closest thing to DayZ I can think of that actually retains some form of entertainment. It's nowhere near the same scale (it's also singleplayer) but I'd rather play on a small populated map than 30 billion square miles of jack stuff.
