Some of you may know of the interesting(good and bad) Military SIM Arma and Arma2. Today I found quite possibly the most ambitious mod for, I'd like to say, any game this decade. Basically a persistent, sever based, PVPVE, survival zombie game. The map is from what I have read 215 KM^2 Huge.
The easier way to explain it is to show a Video(coarse-ish language and gets into it at about 4 mins if you hate intros).

Great thanks for that I now feel sick. Not sure why but Arma just makes me feel ill.

If you like zombie games check this out - I played the demo a while back, it's pretty intense:

"You are" = "You're" - Not "Your".  "They are" = "They're" - Not "Their" or "There".  You probably mean "lose" not "loose".  There's no such word as "Alot".

I am not alone...

I had a guy watching over my shoulder and he felt sick before I did. It is the motion it uses. I am fine with most games but Arma2 does have an issue with making some feel sick.

Ah well DISCLAIMER: has been known to cause nausea! :S Guess I can understand that. It would be interesting to see if it's just the older generations or what
