7 Most WTF Mods Of Recent Video Games

7. DAYZ

Let's start off with something that can only be described as a passion project of a mod.

Whilst there is now a standalone version of DAYZ available, let's remember what it was originally: a modified version of the tactical military shooter, ARMA II.

Now, this isn't the first game to be borne of modding: just look at Counter Strike, which was crafted from the Half-Life engine. But whilst CS was a different kind of game to its "father" game, DAYZ is not wholly removed from its roots.

Such was the popularity of the DAYZ mod, that three years later a full title of the game would be released. Whilst it may have had a slow burn of a start over five years, with Early Access and all, it's a real testament of progress that the mod for a military shooter has gone this far today.
