Should I get Arma 2 expansions?

Recommended Posts

So I heard things like new/better textures and such if you get the expanions. Is it worth it? What do you get in DayZ? Does it lag more?

No it doesn't lag more, and if you can afford them, why not ? Textures will look way better :)

The game can actually look very nice and a lot of people are missing out on it - it doesn't change anything about your DayZ experience other than the texturequality, though - if you don't have the money for it or you don't care - don't get it. But judge yourself:

Question : Does that mean that you don't have hero/ghillie skinns when you don't have the expansions? I always had all the arma2 content, so I never saw the difference

Hello there

 

You will have the skins/meshes but the skins are at an ultra low resolution.

 

Dont forget that the expansions come with Arma mini campaigns missions etc, theyre alot of bang for your buck armawise.

No, of course not - just as orlok explained, you have about 3 pixels clumbing together to form your skin. ;)

 

Direct comparison from 2 of my screenshots:

So extra player textures. Is that all you get for the expansions in DayZ?

If not, what all do you get? (Besides Arma game content)
