I got into a slight discussion with a few players off Steam , on how another "survival" game made in Arma2 isn't "worth doing" , from thier point of view.  

 I think there is ...

 DayZ is nice, it's cool ... it's something we are familiar with big time.  

 But, are we not at times semi-bored with "infected/zombies"?  The Ai "bandits" one or two pest, or roving packs of heavily armed aimbots ... these things can only be experienced and done so many ways, so many times.

 Different isn't "bad" ... , it's just "different".  

 Take for example ... the AlienZ mod.  The AlienZ mod has some forms of "Alien zombies" or at least aliens that have "zombie like behavior" scripted to them.  There were so very few "AlienZ dayz" servers back in the day, but it to me ... a good concept, because it changed the game slightly for interest.  
 
 I thought before a full on "Alien occupation" mod/mission , where it'd be way less about Humanity trying to kill each other off, and more co-op in effort to pull a "resistance" to the occupation , a decent "plot" or "theme".
   But, many didn't even know about it , or rolled thier eyes at "alienz" ...
It never got popular enough, the server makers folded up, and we lost the files, the ability to keep it going, once thier ship sank ... everything went down with em.
 
 Thats just one example ...
What if you were a CIA agent , caught in the middle of a ongoing civil war? ( like DOS?) ...
What if you were a Bank Robber, on the run from Police , have to "survive" by theft/scavanging ... can't be seen or you get reported or cops show up?
 On the flip side, what if you were a Cop, the LAST one left after a huge criminal surge and war for gang territory, left you in the middle of it all?

 see , theres soooooo much that COULD be done , that dayz/daizy alone just doesn't even touch ...

 "Survival" after-all, doesn't absolutely need to be souly "dependant" on Dayz code ...
If dayz code was easier to work with, maybe some more conversions using it ...

 But for now, I gotta find alternate means , because dayz code isn't easy to work with, and daizy SP is a bit out-dated in dayz versions too.
