I believe you can use A2F but if I were you I would MUCH rather buy A2:CO. Its worth the money that you have to spend.

Grab ArmA II: Combined Operations on Steam, and grab the two DLC packs while your at it. The DLC is not REQUIRED for DayZ, but they are for alot of the other ArmA mods and non-DayZ servers.

Add me on Steam if you want some help getting your feet wet, my Steam ID is in my sig below. Hope you enjoy DayZ!

Well Arma II:OA costs 15 € on steam. At the moment there is a special offer for Arma II:CO on the BIS store though (18.74 € instead of 24.99 €).

=> if I had to make that decision right now i'd probably go for that special offer.

or you can wait until Monday and most likely a steam sale

A2F doesn't allow user mods I believe, so I thin kyou need to pay for it

For the record:

DayZ works with Arma2free. However with the extra cost for the full arma being only 3-4 € that might be the "better" option.

Hey guys, sorry if my question is stupid ;p but ... Can you tell me whether I need to buy Arma2 and Arma2: CO separately. Or just CO is enough because I couldn't find any information about that.

Thx for responding

Combined Operations will give you both Arma 2 and Arma 2:OA, so there is no need to purchase Arma 2 and Combined Operations.

Some of the DLC will also give you higher quality textures.

Arma2:Combined operations equals Arma 2 + Operation Arrowhead.

Or better yet go and buy ARMA X: Anniversary Edition for 29,99 EUR on Steam sale which includes :Arma 2, British Armed Forces, Operation Arrowhead, Private Military Companies, ARMA 1 Cold war assault & Gold edition.

To clarify as it is easy to misunderstand.

Arma II Free is Arma II but with lower resolution textures. I.e. poor blurry quality. It works with dayz, but as far as I know it only allows mods when merged with OA making it a poor texture Combined Operations.

There are DLCs for this game. Everyone has the DLC content, but at this low quality we keep coming back to. This means that no mod actually requires you to buy the DLC, but it won't look fantastic!

What makes you think there will be a steam sale with CO on Monday? And what makes you think it will cost less than € 18.74?

Yup I was wandering too because I'm ready to buy this game but if there is a discount tomorrow, i'll just buy it tomorrow ;p
