shadowfire27 1 Posted August 3, 2013 I once seen a post you can get Arma 2 free through steam. How is this possible. Secondly im confused about the stand alone version of this mod. When people say that its going to be a new game they also still call it a mod even though its a new game. THat confuses me. Yes nooby questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes nooby questions.You can get arma 2 the free version on steam, but you will still need Operation arrowhead to play DayZ.

Devon206 (DayZ) 77 Posted August 3, 2013 As Man V Wild said, you need to buy ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead through steam also. And when you say "why people call standalone a mod" is due to them just being used to call DayZ a "Mod" Probably. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted August 3, 2013 DayZ Standalone is the game that has not yet been released, it will be its own game, meaning you won't need any other game to play it (thus, Standalone, I'm sure they're gonna come up with a better name later on). DayZ Mod is what we currently have, and requires Arma2:CO to play. The two games will not be connected to each other (meaning if you were playing DayZ Mod you would not be playing with people playing DayZ Standalone). Hope that clears it up for you.

Petunia-Server 10 Posted August 3, 2013 Just to add to the spot-on explanation that BigMike gave below, DayZ 'mod' will of course continue even after the release of the DayZ Standalone, provided a community stays playing & hosting it...DayZ Standalone is the game that has not yet been released, it will be its own game, meaning you won't need any other game to play it (thus, Standalone, I'm sure they're gonna come up with a better name later on).

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted August 4, 2013 Not sure if its a demo, just a free version of Arma2 (very low def graphics, lot of stuff missing, so on) but yes, you can get Arma2 free and buy Op Arrowhead. The graphics will just be shitty from my understanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted August 4, 2013 You can play dayz if you have Arma2 free and Arma 2:operation arrowhead. The free version doesn't appear to be on steam but you can download it from here http://www.arma2.com/free If you use the free version the graphics will be much lower quality than using the full version.

No, you need Arma 2 free, and the full version of Arma 2 operation arrowhead. here's a guide http://kodabar.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/how-to-install-dayz-with-arma-2-free.html And the link works fine, you just need to enter your date of birth the first time then try again.
