I'd say WarZ is the more arcade version of DayZ.

Why do you need to 'choose' one? Just play them both, and if you don't like one of them, stop playing it.

WarZ = Devs are lazy assholes that added 1 new feature to their previous game and rebranded it, known for not giving refunds (didnt give me one then stopped responding to emails) and being asshats.
DayZ = my choice (if you cant tell). Large community, much more 'survival' than WarZ.

If you're that poor, idk. Pirate DayZ and play on private servers and form an opinion based on that. Or go read the WarZ/DayZ generals instead of making an entire thread on /vg/ about it.

wow, that helps, thanks though, but isnt warZ still in alpha, wouldnt the real game would be pretty cool? its a standalone too.
i guess DayZ is pretty good as well, but i did heard of a lot of hackers there.

ability to perfectly secure your items, safe zones, currency, in-game missions, limits, no big risks when playing, very small map, arcadey simple FPS mechanics that encourage PVP, no views for the future, really bad greentext stories (>found a sniper >stored in global inventory)
while dayz on ARMA 2 engine seriously sucks giant balls because ARMA 2 is made for ARMA 2, I have really big hopes for standalone - Rocket really knows what he's doing, and Bohemia simply has no reasons to casualize their games, change their targets during the development or lie to their fanbase.
...while WarZ devs show how really unprofessional they are, and I'm not talking about this very dodgy moderator's whine. For example, they outright refuse to answer questions about hosting your own server, even if it was promised ages ago, and instead keep advertising the ability to rent servers in game for laughably big prices.

WarZ has cancerous devs that dont know what they are doing
DayZ has more players and is more difficult, dev knows allot more than the WarZ team. also, DayZ's standalone looks kickass

Yes, Dayz currently has a lot of hackers, but also a lot of anti-cheat community engines. But on your place, if you aren't interested in organized Arma 2 Coop (you should, it's really fun but I'm not forcing you to do anything), I'd suggest waiting for DayZ standalone. It's gonna be cheap, be coded for Dayz type of gameplay (mmo instead of coop), more dayz-related content, overall how it should be in the first place.

so a standalone for DayZ is really official then?
woah, if thats the case, i really might get that, but when can i expect that though?

I wouldn't trust either /vg/ generals about getting solid opinions of the games. Watch a livestream.
They both have hackers, they both have sketchy devs, they both need more polish and development, they both pulled most of their content from another base game, both are bugged up the ass(DayZ more so I would say though). Asking what one is better is like asking what tomato plant will grow more tomatoes when it first sprouts.
Right now though, WarZ is winning the race. I look forward to DayZ standalone but the DayZ as it is now is shit. Infected with god hackers unless you join a private or low population server. You actually have a chance to kill hackers in WarZ. WarZ is actually in a position to fix its problems. The devs are actually trying to do something to curb hacking in WarZ, unlike in DayZ where it was left to stagnate and ruin the user base.
WarZ is designed to be more approachable and have a more casual experience for the players(this is compared to DayZ mind you). If that is a good or bad thing is up to you. DayZ is more military survival sim than zombie apocalypse sim with a much deeper experience. It has more features currently in game because it has been out longer, and it was able to pull things straight out of ARMA. WarZ did the same thing, but WarInc is a simple military shooter, not a fully functioning mil sim. I don't know how far the DayZ standalone is going to set back the clock of progression.
On the games being set in a zombie apocalypse. WarZ wins this round too. The zombies in DayZ and not a threat, they are a joke. High end DayZ play has nothing to do with zombies, it's sitting on top of a mountain and sniping people gearing up in campos/electros or people on the other hill. WarZ is basically the same, but the action is in the towns so you get zombie aggro.
Play WarZ now, wait for DayZ standalone.

>Large community
Where? On 4chan maybe, the DayZ community is fucking tiny now that everyone jumped ship to WarZ. It was tiny before that too because everyone got fed up with Rocket being an incompetent moron who wouldn't fix any real problems.

I tried to be as objective as possible. Honestly I loved DayZ more than I love WarZ now, but DayZ has stagnated. The good times are over. The majority of the population are script kiddies who think the game is improved when they spawn in crates full of every item in the game so they can skip that whole gearing up part(99% of the game.) Or speed/tele hack so they can skip that whole walking around the massive map.
WarZ actually has items that feel like they are worth having, worth finding. DayZ feels like a barren wasteland with nothing to do.
As it stands right now, I would NEVER suggest anyone buy DayZ.
