I'm still a little confused. What I meant was if I got arma II right now and installed the dayz mod, will it still work when the standalone version comes out? Will I be able to play with the people with the standalone version? Also, when the standalone version comes out, do I have to pay for dayz ? Sorry, I just found out what standalone means like 1 hour ago lol, I'm a big noob when it comes to mods for a game.
