It can be zeroed up to 1600 meters, while the Barrett M107 can be zeroed up to 1200 (as far as I remember). And it has less recoil than the Barrett. I personally got used to the Barrett M107, and I like it more than the AS50 (in the DayZ plan).

I'm not paying $30 or more for the standalone, really. I never paid more than $12-15 for a game and if it will be really expensive, I'll just remain with the mod.

I don't really think Dean (the Founder) wants to make us a surprise with a really soon release of the DayZ game, as we don't get any news from him. IMHO some problem appeared, maybe they can't manage to do something... I really want to hear the truth, like somebody said it's better than silence. And no, all the news about the standalone come on these forums, on DayZ reddit and on twitter, maybe also somewhere else. But these places are enough. Good luck and if you need any more help, feel free to PM me.

You'll be on low FPS, really low. I'm running it on my laptop, I have a dual GPU that makes up 2 GB of video memory, and I get like 15-20 FPS in the woods, if not less. Also pay attention to your CPU. Mine's Intel Core i3-2330M with 2.20 GHz. The overall answer is obviously no, you won't be able to run it smooth. Like I said, pay attention to your CPU. Core i5 or i7 would be good I think.

YEAH, YEAH, CO is made of ARMA II and Operation Arrowhead! Search on Steam for "ArmA II: Combined Operations", it's a stable price. And reminder - you won't get the DayZ Game (the GAME not the MOD) for free after buying CO.

ArmA II - you can buy it, but you can't play the DayZ mod (and most of the mods) without buying and installing ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead over it. ArmA II: Reinforcements is an addon to ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead, but it's not needed for the DayZ mod. It just improves the quality of the characters and gives you some single player missions. Though it's a waste of money (for the DayZ mod), I still installed it over. Just buy it on Steam, don't complice yourself. If sincerly, I was just like you, and I was about to not buy anything when I was confused, but as you can see - I understood it well with the time.

Maybe, did you use Steam before? I don't really use it. Used it only one time when I played Black Mesa: Source. The disk may cost you more, I have no idea. If you want an easier method, without going to the store, just click a few times on your browser and you got the key for activating the game.

You buy ArmA: II CO on Steam, then you download the mod from the websites and follow some instructions regarding the installing of the DayZ mod for ArmA: II CO (I don't know how to install it on Steam, because I've bought the disk from a store, and installed the game manually). What's the best thing - you pay just $15, and you get two full games (ArmA II: and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead), and a cool mod reflecting realistic zombie survival, you play them all online and you may even get more mods for ArmA II: CO to improve the quality of your gameplay. I never regretted that I paid these money, because it's so entertaining!

So let's start from scratch again, seems like you didn't understand it well. 1. ArmA II is a game made by Bohemia Interactive. ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead is another military simulation game made a few years later after the ArmA II release (it's also a separate game). Both of these games (if installed in the same directory) make up ArmA II: Combined Operations. 2. ArmA II: Combined Operations is a military simulation game (reminder), and "Rocket", the creator of the DayZ mod, found it nice for creating a mod on this engine. The mod ended up in a zombie survival game, that "touched" many gamer hearts. 3. Since the mod is unstable and buggy, there are a lot of hackers and glitches, "Rocket" decided to make a standalone game from the mod. The DayZ Game will be released in 2013 (IMHO). But, what's the point of buying ArmA II: CO? It's made exclusively for PC, it's very easy to mod it, and it became a perfect engine for the DayZ mod. The DayZ mod is free, but ArmA II: CO is not. Why not spend like $15 for buying a such interesting game, and enjoy the simulation?

So did he steal your key or not?

Actually why not buying ArmA II: Combined Operations? It's really awesome, play Co-op with your friends and enjoy a realistic military simulator and do almost everything you want.

iPorn and zombie survival? You gotta be kidding me... Or I'm drunk...

Sure, and I can even speak fluently if we meet someone.

I've been there for like 3 or 4 times, but I didn't even notice the strange sound that everyone talks about...

You should make another map, like Namalsk, and if you manage to make up Pripyat and Chernobyl NPP, you're my lord :)

IGN: Barrett_killz Age: 17 Location: Republic of Moldova (Near Ukraine, ex. Soviet) Steam Name: N/A, non-Steam version Skype Name: myrcea699 DayZ Experience: Since August, I'm able to handle almost any weapon, and I know almost all about DayZ and the survival tips; Role you would like to play in a group: Actually it doesn't really matter since I'm playing for almost 5 months, but I'd preffer assault, sniper, medic or maybe even driver or pilot. Also I know Russian perfectly as it's practically my maternal language, I can read, speak and understand Russian, so I may be helpful sometimes... P.S. I've been learning English at school, so I may have some problems with spelling and accent, but I'll try to speak. And I never had a partner till now, been playing solo.

Go to a store and server hop until you find one...

I want a M107 with a rangefinder for my L85A2 AWS with 9 magazines, and maybe my camo clothing if you want, please...

We actually celebrate it on January 7th, depends on the region.

Mine are likewise, but I already played that much so I learned to ignore the lags :lol:

Seriously, I didn't understand anything from what you said, and I studied English for around 10 years...

I actually don't insist for the standalone's release ASAP, I just want to hear some news and more info about it. And wait, I think that's not only me...

Will there be a december dev blog report?

Only without the machine guns, .50 cals, rockets and other ammunition on it.

It's really interesting to play with friends I guess... I'm playing since August and didn't get a partner till now... Because no one of my friends have a good PC fitting for running the ARMA II engine smoothly...
