Steam with DayZ, 2 accounts one use help

[Radekofboktor 0]

Hello! I have a question concerning the use of DayZ. My friend on steam has ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 operation arrow head and we both love to play DayZ. There is one problem. I dont own it. so my question is, if i had the files from arma 2 and arma 2 operation arrow head installed on my computer, would i still be able to play DayZ or would i have to be signed into my friends account? because he uses it during the day and i use it during the night and im tired of switching back and fourth between the same account and i just constantly play it. To make up for it my friend bought me WarZ, and i absolutely hate it. i play it but i absolutely hate it. he said it was to compensate to play DayZ during the day. I dont want to suffer anymore by playing WarZ. i need to know if that can work. Thanks

no, you need a uniqe cd-key else you'll just play on your friends char. me and a friend tried it before. you have to buy it.

WarZ costs just as much as DayZ if not more depending on the package... why didn't he buy DayZ for you instead?

i dont know, i question him. personally i would never buy WarZ since it would just be a waste of money

So break down and spring for the small amount of cash... It goes to a great game company, why holding out for so little coconuts?

I think you can buy combined operations on one of those cd key sites if you cannot afford the $30 on steam.
