DayZ wasn't made possible by the latest engine or algorithm, it considered itself a simulator, both at heart and down to its implementation. Anything that wasn't crucial to the experience was cut. Anything the server could get away with, it did. DayZ had to sacrifice everything just to show it was possible.
