[In the end should i buy Arma 2 for DayZ or wait for standalone?]

As stated above. Buy Arma 2 for Arma 2 and enjoy dayz and the thousand other mods from Armaholic.com

[A way of implementing story]

Just a thought but what I think would be an interesting addition to the game would be a puzzle\search for clues as to what happened. Eg. Add say 500 or so clues throughout the country(documents,images on buildings,trees,books etc.It would give players something else to work towards and spend their time while adding story.If this has been discussed please disregard.edit never saw the suggestion topic,please move

The PMC is dlc required for dayz weapons genius which bohemia gives you a low res version of for free. But because you and COD buddies have never heard of it nor cared about it, It is a fail game. It takes a true Idiot to dis what is unfamiliar.

What do you think the real virtuality 4 engine is? But seeing how Arma is a failing IP(yes I read your thread) and those who created the most massive, realistic and in my opinion visually stunning sandbox allowing users the freedom to do what they please while constantly patching and offering free versions of their dlc(my guess is you never bought pmc)probably is a bad choice for rocket to go with. Arma 2 IMO was a technical marvel back in 2009 and I have not doubt the new engine will meet his requirements(especially after the sales bump).maybe watch some vids on Arma 3 and do some research before labeling things as failures.

Too those who feel the stand alone release should be on a different engine. I'm sure ea and activition both have clones being worked on as we speak that will no doubt cater to your interests.

[IF this was an actual game...]

If your sticking with BI(and I hope you are) work out the bugs with Arma 2 and release it as an expansion pack for Arma 3 similar to PMC and BAF. Also stick with community servers. Out of curiosity, what other engine could handle the size required while keeping the same visual fidelity outside of the Real Virtuality?

Same here. It works fine on my steam account but the one I purchased from sprocket has no PMC yet(I have PMC on that account). I was under the impression you could play without it with lower rez textures. Any fix?
