I would love to put my blinders on for this game and try it, but every video/review I watch points to a cash grab. This is what I've learned by being an informed consumer:

1) Game is a mod of War inc. So I checked reviews for War Inc and the engine it's based on is very unstable and buggy. Mind you it has been out for over a year and is apparently riddled with bugs still.

2) WarZ has no vehicles, but the map is the same size? wtf

3) All the hacks available from WarInc will easily work on WarZ, because they are same engine. Same reason why Arma 2 hacks worked for dayz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CeAhqcJG_0

4) The mod has only been in development for 4 months. You are going to get the same amount of game breaking bugs as Dayz, except they charge money for it. Yes, you can die laying down on rocks in WarZ (you get stuck inside them and then starve to death). Maybe they were realllly trying hard to emulate Dayz. lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXGt4ruPhg8

5) Right now there is an account-wide bank so you can store your best items and never worry about losing them. Weapons are extremely easy to find, and ammo is extremely hard to find. That's because ammo is going to be purchasable with RL cash. It's obvious they want every to get guns easy and then force them to buy ammo.

6) Can't loot other peoples banks. No tent system or ability to find an enemys stash. Another Cash option they plan for release is allow your character to insta-res himself after death and ability to open your bank vault from any location. (Right now you can open your bank from any location, but that's just meant for alpha, that functionality will only be for paying customers come beta)

7) Food/Drink is hard to find and the rate in which you starve is extremely fast. That way when you are in a really tight bind, and death is imminent, you will be forced to spend RL money to buy pasta and keep your guy alive.

8) No real survival elements other than hunger/thirst. No broken legs, no bleeding, no fucked up vision. No peaking/leaning around corners. Only thing I can't find out is if there is independent head movement, but I don't think there is.

I still have Dayz on my computer with about 4 unique maps installed, and I'm white listed on several private servers where hacking doesn't exist. On top of that I've learned not to lay down on anything but flat ground.

My biggest gripes with DayZ are:
1) Not enough place-able/baracading objects. Causes screen tearing when more than 10 barb wires placed in 1 spot.

2) Not enough people in 1 map so large. 60 not close to enough

3) Server hoping for goods or to get behind people (apparently plex says this exists in WarZ)

4) Bugged choppers that eat your repairs and don't fix themselves.

5) To many high powered assault rifles. This isn't BF3. In a real zombie apocalypse not everyone and their friend is going to have an AS-50, Machine Gun Combo.

6) Buggy tents/camps.
