The general consensus atm is that is a casual gamers version of dayz, smaller map, COD style shooty guns, and you can pay for ingame items (real money that is ).

I think I'd just wait for DayZ standalone.

But the whole idea hasn't been my ideal for the platform. When I'm roaming around in ArmA2 free-roam, the kind of game that comes to my mind is more Empire-Rebels or Red Dawn like, with the empire as NPCs... So you have a monolithic heavily armed empire (their own gov't, or an occupying power, or even an alien occupying force) and a ragged band of rebels is out there trying to survive in the wilderness, and they can try to plan strikes on empire facilities to get food and arms, or even attempt to "liberate" certain areas or neighborhoods (and gird themselves for reprisals), or they can sell each other out to get favor & supplies from the empire, or just cap each other to survive like DayZ.

I guess it'd be similar except instead of Zombies you'd have empire strike teams going out periodically to clean out areas, and there'd be heavily armed cities or facilities. Maybe I was thinking of something that could rally players to think of themselves in it together, them vs the evil empire, while still having that paranoia that you could get sold out too.
