Knighter 1 Posted May 13, 2012 Hi!Me and my friends are interested in this mod, but we don't have arma2 yet. My question, is it worth buying the game or should we wait a bit, because i've heard this mod might become a standalone game in the future. So buy for the mod, or wait? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fox808 40 Posted May 13, 2012 It's full of bugs, doesn't work all the time, almost all of the core features are missing and servers are always full, nevertheless many people consider this the best zombie game ever made. I think that tells you something. If you are unsure why not check out various streams or videos around the web or on this forum. Even if it becomes a standalone game it will take some time. I'm pretty sure Rocket said he will work on this as a mod for Arma 2 for at least a few months. Decide for yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonicle 2 Posted May 13, 2012 Get it.If you want to save yourself some money you can use the arma 2 free with operation arrow head.As for this becoming a standalone game, this is the first time I've ever heard of this rumor and it appearing as a stand alone game is unlikely. Since this is been taken into arma 3 after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dronin 5 Posted May 13, 2012 i think (but im not promising this)That as rocket has been much quieter than usual BI have been talking to him about the future of this project perhaps.Although we(the community) have no idea whats going on behind the scenes i for one guess that BI may have offered to support the dayz project as a Paid DLC for ARMA3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmler 4 Posted May 13, 2012 I bet they contacted himthey must be veeery thankful to him 'cause he's the reason why ArmA2 CO is 4th in top-selling games of the world via Steam now :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dronin 5 Posted May 13, 2012 i doubt they contacted him, more like had a lil chat at work, Rocket is a BI employee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capital 5 Posted May 13, 2012 I'm gonna echo what Rocket said when we were playing with him on stream last night: http://www.twitch.tv/bashurverse- DayZ will be a mod in development for at least 6 months from now. - BI have been very supportive but there is no "official" word yet on how they're going to approach it. They're likely just watching and waiting.- The mod will always be free. Rocket was very adamant about that.- If it does become a standalone game (which is the goal) it will be "reasonably priced."- Rocket got a raise because of the new sales of Arma 2!Hope it's cool if I say that here. He did say it in ventrilo in front of 500 viewers so...yeah...And to the OP: I suggest downloading Arma 2 free and the OA demo on steam, doing the training. If you can learn how to move and shoot (not as easy as it sounds) and you like the tough, milsim realism, thenyes, you should absoluytely buy Arma 2 CO in order to play DayZ.

forbesy 1 Posted May 13, 2012 Game doesn't work with the free version of Arma 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rinaun 26 Posted May 13, 2012 I would avoid purchasing the game just yet. I think that this game will become huge in ARMA III, and buying ARMA II might just be a waste of cash for such a buggy version of the mod currently. My 2c is to wait 3 months.
