OneGunSalute 2 Posted June 16, 2013 So, as the title says, I know there's no release date as of yet for the standalone so, would it be in my best interest to go ahead and get Combined Ops now for the mod or should I just wait and get the standalone?The cheapest I have found Combined Ops is on the Bohemia store for $19.95. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thengeance 19 Posted June 17, 2013 Just my $.02It's $25, and if you're wanting to play now, just get it now. Release could get pushed back, and you'll have wasted time reading forums and twiddling your thumbs when you could be learning tons. I just started playing this last week, and if I knew release was in 2 weeks, I would still shill out the cash now. Having a great time, and learning enough to make me dangerous come SA release. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) We have no specific idea when the stand alone game will be released. I say buy Arma2 and Arma2's Arrowhead (the two together are called Combined Ops). You can find some good deals and every week or two there's a sale on steam. You will need the free mod, DayZ too from the dayzmod website. :thumbsup: Some people say wait but the stand alone is a different game based on the mod, it's not going to be the same thing, as far as I understand but I could be wrong. Me, I love the mod and just wish they'd stop messing about with it every time there's an update. Personally, I recommend trying it. Of course, the stand alone will be on sale via Steam so if you buy Arma2 and the get the free mod you will still have to buy the standalone game if you decide you want to buy and play that too.

Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted June 18, 2013 If you're not going to play just ArmA, I don't think it's worth your money. But if you plan on playing just arma, then yes, but it ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trollz0r 5 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) its not only for dayz. you can also have fun with arma operation arrowhead coop multiplayer. great fun. Its totally worth it. like statik said ;) Edited June 18, 2013 by Trollz0r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xucphra 453 Posted June 18, 2013 Steam summer sale is probably coming up in the next month, you could wait a bit and buy it for 50-75% off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OneGunSalute 2 Posted June 18, 2013 I've kind of been mulling this over still and now I hear there's an Arma 3 DayZ working now too so I'm back at the start sort of. I can do Arma 2 Combined Ops or Arma 3 basically at this point so which is recommended higher? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Arma 3 is not compatible with the DayZ mod. Neither is it necessary to later buy Arma3 when the Standalone DayZ game is released.I don't know anything about an Arma3 DayZ relationship.
