Crooze 0 Posted June 21, 2012 As the title says, I am curious as to whether or not it is worthwhile, purchasing Arma 2:CO(30 bucks) for DayZ. I do have the money to spend but I was just wondering how much replayability the mod has, and I figured you guys could provide the insight!Thanks,Crooze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunnobe 3 Posted June 21, 2012 Look at the number of players online;http://arma2.swec.se/server/listAnd there is more to Arma 2 than DayZ only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eegore 23 Posted June 21, 2012 Im not sure many people that actually play Day Z are going to say that you shouldnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CactuarLOL 0 Posted June 21, 2012 I wouldnt recommend it, Arma II is a fantastic game and there are some amazing opportunities for huge coop gameplay, But that said, DayZ is a mod, its in early alpha, and from what i've seen so far people who havn't played a milsim before tend to complain a hell of a lot about the development of DayZ.Try the free version of Arma II for a while and get to grips with the controls and the playstyle of the game, then make your decision to buy or not.

commiedic (DayZ) 0 Posted June 21, 2012 I wish Island Life would get popular again =P. People don't like being forced to RP and lots of rules though I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knoxmickey 0 Posted June 21, 2012 I Had the same dilemma, After watching about 20 minutes of youtube videos I bought the Arma2 w/expansion for $30 and have not regretted my decision at all. Totally worth the price IMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fackstah 31 Posted June 21, 2012 armaII in itself is worth it not just for DayZ there is a million mods and missions out there so yes buy iti personally spend most of my time on Tonic's Wasteland Mission server more then DayZ while alot of the bugs are worked out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexYedoff 0 Posted June 21, 2012 Purchasing Arma for DayZ, Worth it?I did. and it was. Havn't even touched Arma yet, I have played with choppers in boot camp on A2OA but that was only because I saw one in DayZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crooze 0 Posted June 21, 2012 Alright, well thanks for all the replies and I will definitely check out the free version. I may just wait and watch the development a bit more. But thanks guys!Edit 1: Oh wow, way more replies than I thought I would get. I think some of my friends might be getting it so I might be forced a bit :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NigeyS 16 Posted June 21, 2012 Echoing what has been said I guess, even if you find dayz isn't for you arma is an awsome sim and has a lot to offer on its own, and via other mods, try to think of arma as an ecosystem as opposed to just a game.Just my 2 cents worth...

sarlac 10 Posted June 21, 2012 It's not expensive. Just go for it. You could spend more on a meal at many places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
