DayZ is the multiplayer mod for ARMA 2 that has gained a following of millions of players. There are even plans to make it standalone in the distant future.
I was sceptical at first but after trying it out I can confirm its extremely addictive and immensely enjoyable.
You start at a random spawn with no weapons or items except for some painkillers, a bandage and a torch in a massive zombie infested map. You need to eat, drink and find supplies to survive and use stealth to infiltrate towns and evade the infected. The day and night cycle is in-synch with whatever nationality the server is. Once you're dead you start from scratch.
The only thing more dangerous than the infected are the players as there is nothing to stop people turning bandit and robbing/killing other players. There is also nothing to stop you teaming up with others. It really tests human nature as teamwork really does involve a huge amount of trust that they won't just turn around and kill you for your supplies. When you bump into someone it really is nerve racking.
Anyway, just saying I recommend it. Give it a go. I guarantee you'll be surprised by how much fun it is.
