I have said above that ill buy the standalone anyway so I'm buying both but I have bought the mod already and having fun on epoch with dayzC right now :) on payday I'll be buying the standalone (2 weeks) :)
Also I'm worried if I find out there's little to do in the standalone I may get bored and not play it anymore and I'd rather that didn't happen as the game looks awesome lol
Also I know that this is probably a bad move and I'll regret it but I'm going to go for the dayz mod to start with, I think that it's base building etc will have me more satisfied initially lol (I like safety) so are there any guides or tips to get the most from the mod? I'd also like to stress that I'll probably get the standalone in a few weeks when I'm paid so I'll have both anyway :)
Yeah that's exactly what I'm trying to weigh up lol but it seems there's more to do except survive in the mod? As I said I'll be getting the SA anyway just wondering if I should get the mod now and wait 6-12 months until the SA is more complete to transfer over to that?
I thought it should play them as the graphics card is a reasonable dx11 card and the processor is again reasonable :) Not sure what the fps actually relates too ( I know its frames per second) as I'm generally a console gamer lol is 30fps playable?
I know the standalone is still alpha and iv watched loads of vids on it so I know its basic but I'd still enjoy it I think, but I'm asking both as training myself in the game and as a multiplayer experience for me and my hopefully 'hero' friends lol
Okay well thankyou for your help anyway! A little closer to the solution from your information anyway so thanks for that :) Laptop arrives tomorrow so wanna jump in lol Cheers
So why the complete collection and not the combined operations? May seem like a stupid question but I just bought a new laptop specifically to play dayz (needed a new one anyway lol just needed a reason) and I want the best first experience of the game and the best to re comment to my mates that are considering the game! Just figuring out the best options for first time players of arma and dayz seems difficult :) Thanks again
Hey guys, I'm trying to decide what to buy first? Iv been looking on steam and arma 2 is £7.99 and dayz mod is free and the standalone alpha is £19.99! So which should I get? I love the idea of the base building and trade etc in the mod but the standalone is.... The standalone lol I'll get the standalone anyway but I thought it may be easier to train on the mod as it's more complete? Cheers guys
