I remember seeing this game as only an idea for a "realistic zombie video game with extremely real survival and permadeath". I'm a little late on the wagon but I am absolutely enthralled to see that this idea has come to fruition and I'm looking forward to play! I also hope that it is not as difficult a learning curve as people say here on the forums, nevertheless I payed the $30 for Arma II and I'm going to try my best to play! I just wanted to express my gratitude with this post! -Michael
