Hi guys Ive been watching frankieonpcin1080p play dayz and it looks hella fun and i really wanna try it. I have the money to buy arma 2 combined ops and get day z. But i heard the standalone was coming out and if its like other big titles. Will be around 40-60 bucks (which i dont have). The standalone is coming this year but no one knows when exactly. So i was wondering if i should get arma 2 co now for 18 bucks on steam but im worried that the standalone will come out soon and draw away most to all the players and the arma 2 dayz will not have anyone on it. So should i buy arma? I have 25 bucks and no way can i get more and the steam deal ends in 1-2 days. I prbly wont play the regular arma either. So what do you guys suggest? Thanks

And Col. Kurtz thans for the tumblr page, very informative. He seems to be very enthusiastic about this project. A great sign

I wanted to get arma now too but after seeing most ppl saying to get the SA, im thinking about going that route. Arma 2 looks amazing but i like more bf3 fps types (sorry if that bothers anyone lol). And if it follows minecrafts model, then if i pick it up cheap, i wont have to pay to get to the beta anf full right? Im 99% sure but need the confirmation.

Thanks sheepdawg and all the other who helped

Guess im a waiter :D

Lol ik fagher sheepdawg u shall wait. But i really dint want ur butsacl if ur wrong. Lol. But thats good. Hey i might even be able to save up a bot bu the alpha....somehow.

Lol beans. So if it takes a long time to v1.0, can i buy it in alpha and still have it at v1.0? And wat about price?

Thanks gor the fast replies! Lol i guess i was thinking that since sich a popular mod is becoming a game, it would be worth alot. Haha my mistake. I wish i could get atma and dayz SA but its one or the other. I honestly dont see myself playing too much arma 2. Ive tried researching for the SA but we dont even know release dates, let alone price. But are u sure 25$ will be able to buy the standalone (if its great)? If i could get some more opinions i can make a better decision. Thanks for the help!
