Been playing the DayZ Standalone Alpha for a couple of days now.
Quite fun overall, I tend to avoid fully populated servers so I can continue to gear up without *to* much of a threat of getting zapped going into a major town. It IS an Alpha so there are some glitches here and there but overall its entertaining and will only get better as they add more models, tweak things here and there.
Fireman's axe is your friend! One hit kills on Zombies makes surviving that much easier.
Great purchase!
