Wait till its out or at least have some kind of Beta footage to look at till you compare. Right now its just DayZ enthusiast that believe WarZ is not only a rip off of DayZ completely but is just a scam entirely. VS WarZ optimists who have somewhat of an open mind but still have very little to base their viewpoint on.
For me if the Urban setting is well done in War Z having almost every building open especially if they have a skyscraper of two open with over 10 floors it would have a better "real life" feel then DayZ because chen is mostly empty and most buildings are locked (will change with the stand alone DayZ using RV4)
WarZ looks promising it is a actual stand alone game so the quality compared too current DayZ will most likely be better unless they screw up. But who knows how much work stand will be on the alone DayZ BI focus currently is Arma III.
Well if you look at the controls Warz is better. If Day z had easier controls I would play it more often. But, I think Day z display looks much better then Warz.
Judging by the War-Z gameplay video's, the engine is based upon call of duty, or quake for that matter.
That implies that it's dumbed down to unrealistic run and gunning. Because that's pretty mutch what those do, unlike the ARMA one.
I predict that the War-Z community will be far younger than the DayZ one. Simply because DayZ is far more complicated.
An engine doesn't define the game and how it plays. It's design and how the engine is tweaked to compliment the desired design does as I stated in another thread we have seen very little combat in any of the current videos of the War Z. The TTK within DayZ is none really one shot one kill within the short 15 minute night video we saw for War Z it seemed to be the same thing at least to zombies.
But once again we have so little information about WarZ and all we know about the stand alone DayZ is that its coming out sometime and it works better on the RV4 engine then it does on RV3 because it's better optimized this time around. So when we know more we can pass judgement until then it's all hot air.
As for the communities... DayZ current community is crap compared to the older Arma II Community which mostly just conatian chair generals but due to DayZ we have reached the point that you have multiple videos saying WarZ is rip off and is just blatant lies from some unknown company trying to get your money for nothing at all. Many of the DayZ community plays DayZ as a run and gun shooter already, stay on the shoreline and have fun die and repeat.
WarZ doesn't have one yet it could be crap as well maybe not but if the game is supported well and it follows the model of Buy once have the option of getting some extras quickly (with the cash shop that certainly isn't pay to win by the way it is described currently) if you want but we won't charge an subscription and because you can host your own server we can support the game as long as we need because if the game is large enough and enough servers are hosted by 3rd parties we don't have to worry about that cost like other MP games do.
WarZ is A ING SCAM. A COMPANY THAT BOUGHT AN ENGINE FROM SOMEONE, MADE A INCREDDIBLY TY F2P GAME WITH IT, AND THEN TOOK PICS AND MADE A VIDEO OF A SUPPOSED ZOMBIE GAME IN PROGRESS LONGER THAN DAYZ.
It's impossible for me to play Day Z because of all the hackers and glitches. War Z doesn't look like much yet, but it seems like it'll contain more stuff to do than Day Z. If that's a good thing or not depends on how they pull it off
However, if Day Z upgrades to ArmA III and makes a new map, it'll win by far.
There were a ton of threads like this on the WarZ forums, glad they're gone now.
To me, The War Z looks like a better deal so far. We've only seen a handful of videos and screenshots, though, so no one can say how good it really will be. I think the people who are saying that it's a scam or a rip-off are just angry that DayZ won't be the only game of it's kind around anymore, which is why DayZ is probably so popular - because it's the only game like it right now.
That said, the idea behind DayZ is great, but the mod itself isn't. It's based off of the clunky and buggy Arma 2 engine, has a terrible community, and a great deal of hackers. But, it is just a mod, so I'd probably wait until the standalone is out before comparing it to The War Z.
What the [profanity="fuck"] are you doing posting adfly links. Here is the direct WarZ link, here is the direct DayZ link. I have AdBlock on, you get $0 from me. Stop trying to profit off someone else's work.
On topic: DayZ could be so much better if it didn't use the Arma 2 engine. atm it sucks balls. WarZ just looks [profanity="fuck"]ing terrible

i personally prefer warz. one because of the easier controls and two better graphics than dayz. I don;t know why people were hating on the game when it was indev. its better than dayz and even though they are similar warz is not a copy of dayz.

Guess what? That 'full release' was already out... Yes, the thing you could buy on Steam and still can buy on their website is considered "Version 1.0". Not an Alpha, not a Beta...
And not only there are ALSO hackers already, they don't even have any kind of Anti-Cheat software, just ban people at random apparently. AND they got a cash-shop, allowing Pay2Win.
Lol. For anyone who doesn't know the story, WarZ was put up on Steam as a full release when it was really in early alpha, with a bunch of advertised features it didn't actually have. The game was basically DayZ but worse, and people wanted their money back. WarZ devs refused, so GG Valve took it off Steam and are giving people full refunds.

Well i have not played either of the games yet but so far day z is looking wayyyyyyy better beacuse as i hav been researching them i will tell you why war z sucks mainly.
War Z
1. It has terrible graphics.
2. They have banned over 3000 random accounts to scare off hackers.
3. They lied about like half the features on the steam release.
4. It is full of hackers and bandits.
5. You cant enter all the houses
Sooo ya my pick will be day z once its standalone.
which do you think is going to be better?
Dayz http://dayzmod.com/ or Warz http://thewarz.com/ which one is better.
I would probably buy WarZ and like it way better, compared to DayZ graphics :/
For me if the Urban setting is well done in War Z having almost every building open especially if they have a skyscraper of two open with over 10 floors it would have a better "real life" feel then DayZ because chen is mostly empty and most buildings are locked (will change with the stand alone DayZ using RV4)

But I really don't care for either.

Thank you for proving my point.
