After trying out factions 3.0.2, 2018 and now Dayz X. I have to say it's probably the most playable Dayz single player mod out so far that I've tried.

Since factions and 2018 seems to have that really bad lag after about 10 hours of play. But I haven't experienced it yet in Dayz X. So far about 13-15 hours on Dayz X and non so far.

Though the zombies in this one is quite aggressive. Wider aggro range, and really fast. Also they tend to spawn right after another if you just continue to shoot them with non SD weapons. Zombies don't attack AI's and just stands in front of them, but this happens so far in all the versions I've played.

Sometimes zombie's will come after you from AI's gunshots, so you have 2 times the problems on your hand xD , so most of the time in this game you'll spend running away from Zombies, since they also chase you really far. But of course if you get tired of that, just call in Tank support xD

For Dayz X the AI bandits doesn't spawn in groups, but sometimes it does spawn 2 or 3 in different spots near the same area. In Daizy factions and 2018 there are multiple groups that spawn around Devil's Castle. But for Dayz X, so far I've only seen 2 bandit AI's in my entire playthrough there.

I've actually ran into no zombies and loot spawn 3 times. So I had to restart the game again for the first one. For the timecycle version, it happened 2 times, near the beginning of the game. So I decided not to play that version of Dayz X. Also I think the timecycle version is probably the most buggy? Since I can't add axes or crowbars to my back, and can only equip them when I try to remove them from my toolbox with the option. Also once you do that, you can't equip or switch it to your back, so in timecycle you can't equip 2 rifles. I managed to play it for 3 hours today without zombies disappearing. But there were some weird glitches like opening door option not appearing. So I'd say just go with the original Dayz X and avoid timecycle.

Dayz X is a really good mod. A lot more buildings to scavenged through. I totally recommend it to any new Dayz players. I'm really looking forward to the updates on this one =)

Once Haleks fixes the lag on the other versions, I'll try them again, since I like having a shootout against the bandit groups. But each time I get halfway to fixing the cars from parts I scavenged, the game just starts lagging. Factions and 2018 is still playable, and it really isn't a problem if you don't mind restarting every few hours or so.
