Battle zombies in a former Soviet state post apocalyptic wasteland!
DayZ is a post zombie apocalypse survival game set in a fictional former Soviet territory called Chernarus. The game is a first person shooter, in an open world setting.
The game began life as a 'mod' (independent player modification) of ArmA II. This mod eventually morphed into a separate, professionally developed stand alone game initially known as 'DayZ Standalone', eventually abbreviated to DayZ by the developers at Bohemia Interactive. Using the ArmA II engine as a base of development, the standalone DayZ updates the Chernarus map and offers a plethora of gameplay and technological improvements that delivers a chillingly realistic zombie apocalypse survival struggle.

To my fellow Mac gamers on TD, here are the steps to get DayZ working on a Mac. I got this directly from the DayZ forums 1. Install windows on your Mac using Bootcamp.
The game offers players a chance to go solo through the wastelands of Chernarus, or team players can interact with their friends in multiplayer mode. Helpful video tutorials are made available for first time players who may need tutoring in specific aspects of the game like foraging for food, treating injuries and wounds and even eating and drinking. It is advisable to talk to other players for advice in surviving the difficult early stages of the post apocalyptic game.
There are a wide selection of (damaged and rusted) vehicles available, both civilian and military. Buses, pick ups, tractors and amusingly a Skoda Octavia are left lying around in various states of disrepair. Further foraging is required to obtain the missing parts to get the vehicles motoring again. Military hardware like Hummers, ATVs, off roads and helicopters are also available in later levels.
The game boasts a wide variety of weaponry, but the inventory system feels somewhat counter intuitive and cumbersome. To pick up a melee weapon like a crowbar or a hatchet, the mouse must scroll over the weapon while it is on the ground. An indicator mini screen asks if the player wishes to store the weapon in the inventory, but it is not ready to be used against the zombie hordes until right clicking the weapon and pressing 'R' to reload. Ranged firearms are common place and diverse, from crossbows and Glock 17s to Lee Enfield and AK47's.
Pros
- Brutally realistic and detailed
- Excellent graphics
- Impressive weapon choice
Cons
- Already available to owners off ArmA II
- Game seems to get hacked easily
- Requires patience to master the game play

1. Install windows on your Mac using Bootcamp.
Full instructions on how to install windows using bootcamp here
2.You must download a catalyst for your integrated video card
Go to this LINK
Fill in the information about your BootCamped Mac under 'Download Drivers'
Download & install the suggested catalyst for you
ex: Mac Graphics > Apple Bootcamp > MacBook Pro > Windows 7 - 64 bit
3. See if your Mac is capable of running it.
Go to this LINK
Select ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead
Click 'Can You RUN it?'
Note: Ignore the video card information, because it doesn't register the catalyst on this site. As long as your Mac is OS X version 10.5 or greater you should have no problem. It will most likely tell you that you failed, when in reality you didn't
4. Buy Arma II: Combined Operations, which includes: Arma II and Arma II:Operation Arrowhead, BOTH are required to install DayZ. I recommend buying it with Steam cause its all digital.
5. Install DayZ. I recommend that you use DayZCommander.
6. Play DayZ

Running parallels and gaming would seem to drop FPS correct?
Why no install of Windows 7 or 8?
