A mod for ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead
DayZ is a multiplayer open world survival horror modification (mod) designed by Dean Hall for the 2009 tactical shooter video game ARMA 2 and its 2010 expansion pack, ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead. The mod places the player in the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus, where an unknown virus has infected most of the population, turning people into violent zombies. As a survivor with limited supplies, the player must scavenge the world for supplies such as food, water, weapons and medicine, while killing or avoiding both zombies and other players, and sometimes non-player characters, in an effort to survive the zombie apocalypse.

This was one of the first mods and PC games I bought (Arma II) because of the huge boom around this mod. My crappy HP Slimline Office PC couldn't run the game so I saved up some money and got a Sapphire HD 5550 (I think) from ebay. Now it could run the game at all low settings at like 25-30 fps and I had the time of my life. RIP this era.
