No, it scares me, too addictive! Also, the zed animations piss me off, too jerky.
I'm looking at this one myself:

Oh shame on you! Day Z is a mod that I don't think has even been released yet. The island it's set on is massive something like 120km square iirc. It's very realistic so you need to eat, drink and patch wounds or you'll bleed out. The best part is that you don't know if other survivors are nice or will simply kill you and take your kit. Tbh the zeds are a small part of the game. Thing is you can repair vehicles and all sorts. A few people have managed to get parts to fix choppers and everything. The only problem is that when you die, you die. Restart all over with the basic kit. Also, you can die pretty quickly if you are alone, which leaves people playing VERY cautiously and earning it the title of 'best running simulator'!
Have a look at some of the youtube stuff out there, it's cool. Like I say, the zombies themselves annoy me

To tell a DayZ story you'd first have to start with the beginning:
I spawned at the edge of the water and was immediately shot in the head by a guy with a pistol who proceeded to shuffle through my decaying corpse.
Repeat 12 times at different spawning locations, and different servers.
Oh also, Yahtzee's review of the game pretty much sums up much of the "normal" experience.

But there are also a lot of groups that form in the servers and make a big mess of things or make the game seem worth it as they get into some real adventures.

As a zombie fan I wanted to get into DayZ, but the controls are all wonky and the AI is retarded and most of the servers don't seem to be monitored or policed in any way (I.E. too many hackers). I guess most of the problems are that it was done on the Arma 2 game, which is fubbed right up in the same ways, I get annoyed with simple things that don't get improved or fixed. See picking things up/looting or breaking your leg swimming beside a rock. The fact that the zombies are a non-issue, kind of puts me off as well, if I want a sniper versus sniper battle with the occasional annoyance I have to walk around a corner from, I'll play TF2 on 2_Fort.
WarZ I haven't seen much of, not sure how it compares, it's on my list of things to look into.

Well today DayZ is only playable on a private hive server with password and administrators that kicks hackers. I agree zombies are a no issue and also said that it is so by the developer. mind the game base was not created for Zombies, theys sig zag as soldiers should do or something... ARMA II engine.. well not to good. DayZ addictive YES.. Why? it is unforgiving.
What is the game play about now days? mostly diffrent groups that look for gear and fight eachother. the zombies are not a threat.
There is an interview with the developer of the mod about the standalone game that is supposed to come out q1 or q2 next year I belive. Where he says that hacking and duping issues are on the top of there list and also to bring the game into a survival game they will add more content to make zombies (.. and other things) that makes life harder and perhaps the highest threat is not going to be other people? we will see.
There is one server where the zombies is a little bit more annoying since they have better hitrate and damage there... they do break your leg more often, but still you can just run away from them and through a house and they are lost.
In any case I am still playing and enjoying dayZ on a private hive somewhere in Sweden.
