It's a mod for a military simulator called Arma 2, here's the recommended and minimum sepcs. (Don't play it on minimum specs, the game is buggy as it is, without a decent pc you are just making more problems for yourself.)

Minimum specs:
• Dual Core CPU (Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, Intel Core 2.0 GHz, AMD Athlon 3200+ or faster)
• 1 GB RAM
• GPU (Nvidia Geforce 7800 / ATI Radeon 1800 or faster) with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM
• Windows XP
• DVD (Dual Layer compatible)
• 10 GB free HDD space

Recommended specs:
• Quad Core CPU or Dual Core CPU (Intel Core 2.8 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or faster)
• 2 GB RAM
• GPU (Nvidia Geforce 8800GT / ATI Radeon 4850 or faster) with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM
• Windows XP or Windows Vista
• DVD (Dual Layer compatible)
• 10 GB free HDD space

You really need a good graphics card to get the most out of it though. Runs great with my GTX-560. I was playing Arma 2 on gtx-295 and it worked just fine with medium settings.

Good luck.

The day Z forums are great for game info, but if you can't find what you are looking for there feel free to ask me here.

Also if you are a new player and you want someone to show you the ropes and you live in europe I would be happy to help you get a start. Might be able to play on east coast servers too.
There is a lot to it since the original game is a military simulator and not just a straight up fps, so having someone to help you get started in this unforgiving game is a good idea. Even the best players get caught out sometimes.
