I came across a site recently called the Single Player Project and found a single player project for DayZ Epoch 1.0.6.2
And it is literally as easy as double clicking two batch files. Interested? Well, read on...
Basically, visit this page, it tells you everything you need to know and where to download the single .zip file (it's on Mega 1.78Gb). You'll be running both the server and client on the same PC.
Follow the instructions (helpful, I know) and much to my surprise, it worked!
Actually, to be honest, it didn't work - the server couldn't connect to the database. I already had MySQL installed and when the game tried to launch mysql.exe it couldn't because it was already running. I uninstalled MySQL and tried again and then it worked.

If you are having a problem first try verifying files through Steam.
You might also need to edit a file to bypass version requirements - see this post on how to modify the build requirement in config.cfg

So, how is it?
You know what, it's really nice to be back in Arma 2 DayZ Epoch. There's no shortage of supplies so don't think you'll be doing any hard core survival. There are guns but ammo is not exactly plentiful - you'll need to liberate some from the dead...
The map is Chernarus (although you could probably change that), there are traders (in the "usual" spots) and there are plenty of vehicles.
The game uses 3 "AI systems" to add life to the map;
DZMS - DayZ Mission System: Provides missions with a variety of risk and rewards
DZAI - DayZ Artifical Intelligence: Provides static and random AI spawns, including helicopters and vehicles patrols.
WAI - Wicked AI: Even more missions but a more diverse range and challenge.
The helicopters are not to be underestimated...
These AI systems are pretty relentless. It's easy to get caught in an endless gunfight with them. They do see the zombies as a threat so you may get a warning they are around before you actually seem them. There are also Heros and Bandits - they will fight each other and you will gain / lose "Humanity" points depending on you how you play. My humanity level stays near zero....
I have made a few changes, modifying the AI spawn rates and adding a towing system (as above) and a few other minor things but at the end of the day, it does work as advertised.
EDIT: Grammer and speeling
EDIT2: Just to be clear, this is not my work. I found it and thought others might enjoy it or not be aware of it.
