TheBambiAvenger 146 Posted April 8, 2013 I would, it's a great game and the SA has been pushed back past June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastoverlord 574 Posted April 8, 2013 The mod has things that won't be implemented in the SA till the end of the year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creep- 569 Posted April 8, 2013 Get it and get some practice with the controls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh225 129 Posted April 8, 2013 If you are sure that you can hold a stable fps then I say absolutely! There hasn't been a game that I've spent more time in than this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pokerguy12 218 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Dont be conned by youtube videos, they have been heavily edited to cut out the boring parts and make the dayz experience look alot more interesting than it really is.If you really do want to get it, make sure you have a friend FIRST or else its gonna get boring real quick (1 week or so).Be sure to get the standalone though Edited April 8, 2013 by Pokerguy10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK Richie 507 Posted April 8, 2013 The mod will still be played for months :) When the SA is released it will be in an Alpha stage and contain very little of what the finished game will eventully have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philbottle 430 Posted April 8, 2013 I went for Dayz at the end of October even though I was expecting the SA in December. It was a great decision and I'm still playing 5 months later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
v3c1c 86 Posted April 8, 2013 buy it! and after 3 weeks of playing go check out wasteland mod too you will not regret a cent u spent on arma :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrett_killz 229 Posted April 8, 2013 This was asked also in January when the standalone had to be out a few weeks before. Now what? People are still waiting, and will wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intensity 157 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) The mod is definitely still worth getting, not just for the mod, but ArmA is a great game in general. SO much more to do than just playing DayZ all the time.If you really do want to get it, make sure you have a friend FIRST or else its gonna get boring real quick (1 week or so).I don't completely agree with this. I've been a lonewolf most of my DayZ career and have had a wonderful time playing. Don't get me wrong, it's great to play with friends and as a group, but being on my own was certainly not boring.

okami (DayZ) 129 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) If you really do want to get it, make sure you have a friend FIRST or else its gonna get boring real quick (1 week or so).Solo playing since June last year, not bored at all.By it, there is so much going on in the community with new maps and mods (started breaking point this weekend, absolutely amazing!), and if you get bored with dayz you still havet he actual arma II game which is pretty damn good on its own...

OrLoK 16182 Posted April 8, 2013 Hello thereRemember, there has never been an official release date. The Dec one was just a personal aim for R and one suspects would have been a very different game from the one they now intend to release.Btw you don't need friends to play the game as others have said. You can solo quite happily It is easier with chums, but that for me is part of the challenge.RgdsL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boxman80 964 Posted April 8, 2013 ARMA 2 and Day Z mod (as well as Wasteland and other mods) justify buying it now. As others say you will get practice and a feel for the game anyway. Besides that I do feel the Day Z mod may remain steady fora while yet, even after Stand Alone's release! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomas8838 0 Posted April 9, 2013 depends how good your computer is and if your patient, myself im waiting to get my new pc so I can get the sa.So you have 1k post on a forum for a game you dont even own??? "fanboy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imafighter 236 Posted April 9, 2013 Don't just get ArmA 2 for DayZ. Play ArmA 2 as well! Its a fun game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sushi4breakfast7 1 Posted April 9, 2013 So you have 1k post on a forum for a game you dont even own??? "fanboy"hes talking about standalone not the mod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadofax 2 Posted April 16, 2013 Get it. Play the bootcamp on Arma2 to learn to play, then play Arma2. When you get bored get DayZ and wreak havoc! It's a great game all around. The standalone will most likely be something way different than the mod. For me part of the fun is the crazy glitches you get in the mod, lol it's funny shiz man. And it's what all the cool kids are doin :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do disagree with the "make sure you have a friend" comment. I really enjoy playing alone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
