Is it worth picking DayZ up before standalone?

Buy it. The SA may be many months away, so while you wait you can play and get experience and most of all, have fun.

I would say Dayz SA will not be out this year.

No it won't.

The mindset of the player is to kill people, that's it.

No surviving will be going on, just like the mod, just like war z.

Guessing you're going to be helping with that "Hey lets pvp guys :D"

TL;DR yes, buy it if you can. It's neato.

There was a similar argument about Left4Dead2

I'm very happy to have played both.

I'm intentionally avoiding Minecraft so I can focus on DayZ. For one thing, the models are better. Still, it was a big mistake not allowing girls to wear camo/etc. If I'm going to watch someone's backside for hours, female is better. Tomb Raider understood this well.

Watching backsides? Use first person, then.

I don't recommend getting the mod, it's better to just wait for the Standalone.

If you're dead-set on getting your "DayZ Fix", then go ahead.

But I don't think it's worth it.

I think you should wait.

Since standalone dont come out for another year id say get the mod if you want to be bored.....

I say do it, DayZ is super fun to me. I was told to wait till standalone but I couldnt. Bought Combined Ops, downloaded DayZ, Loved it. and I cant wait for the Standalone.

The best purchase i made was getting Arma 2: CO for dayz, dont get me wrong Arma2 is a good game but DayZ is well worth it

Why do you keep saying SA won't be out this year? Read up on the latest info guys

Well, Alpha's not coming at least until June, so figure in alpha, closed beta, open beta, we're looking at a September release at the earliest, so Yeah. The mod is worth getting.
