Yeah makes it easy for new people to start playing now :)

I only saw it on there a few minutes ago, am I late to the party as in noticing it on there? :P

Should cause a slight decrease in 'HOW TO INSTALL?????' threads popping up. I wouldn't put my money on it, but it's cool that there's a straight forward, idiot-proof method to getting onto the mod.

I didn't see any announcement on Twitter or anything about them putting the mod on Steam, took me by surprise.

When I searched 'DayZ' and saw that I was about to freak...

[mzltv 2281]

It may also be a way for them to test the Steam data pipeline that they're going to implementing in the Standalone for the update in features and that...

Anyone tried it on steam yet? Does it use the same browser as arma?

If dayz commander is easier to use, i'll stick to it.

[eviljezza (DayZ) 39]

Same browser as ARMA.

Do I need to delete any files or uninstall anything if I want to use steam to play?

Pretty cool, more publicity...i use steam to launch anywy but it's good to see steam support!

Uses the same browser as Arma, DayZ commander is better. But i'll be using it for the hour counter.

If you make something idiot proof they just make a better idiot. You'll never win!

He's got a point.

[calthehunter 61]

What's the deal with it saying "Includes Level Editor" under where they specify "Single-Player", "Multi-player" and such? Is this just an Arma II feature or...? (I've only ever played DayZ, so I'm entirely unaware of everything that's included in it.)

Useless, as the Standalone is coming out soon.
