DayZ patch

[Greger099]

Hello guys, have you heard about the new patch, like week or 2 weeks ago? When the people were angry that game producer didn't care about this, and the patch we got... There are zombies everywhere, I just want to know if you people like that, because the game was made with 1 important point - zombie apocalypse, so it looks more realistic now,

I like that patch I want to see ideas from you.
