I'll be honest, I don't want DayZ as its own game. It's not that I wouldn't/couldn't pay for it, but I think ArmA holds it up. Take away ArmA and what do you have? I'll tell you what you don't have;- a realistic simulation of HOW a survivor would experience a pandemic (movement, graphics, gunplay, etc). And unless you want to rip these mechanics straight from ArmA2 (which quite a few people would be very much against) and put them onto a separate game, you cannot recreate that same feeling that people have even gone back and brought Arma2 for! I think having it as DLC for ArmA3 would be the best option here. Run a small kick starter if you need as well as I'd be more than willing to give it a push. I love this mod and cant wait for the day the bugs are gone, so thank you Rocket and his team for bringing us this far, and here's to the future...
