Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Some of the major gameplay differences you'd notice within the first hour: Mod:- Lots of variations of the mod, possible difficulty finding the right server.- 90% of buildings can't be entered. (Depends on the specific mod, I guess. All of these apply to the original DayZ Mod.)- Loot spawns in random piles around buildings.- Very clunky inventory, lots of clicking, no drag-n-drop.- Lots of guns and ammo types.- Can't punch.- Clothing is rare to find, can only find full outfits.- There is no actual melee system in ARMA. Weapons like the axe, crowbar, and machete are actually guns that fire a bullet. They just look like melee weapons and the firing animation/sound is a swing. Standalone:- All servers are available.- Every building has interiors.- Loot spawns in realistic places, sometimes easy to miss.- Much better inventory, can drag-n-drop, containers are easier to understand.- You have a hotbar for quick access to any item you choose.- Most weapons are melee, guns relatively rare.- Can punch!- Individual pieces of clothing, very common.- Real melee combat! Hit detection is based on the model of whatever you're holding when you swing. Edited March 8, 2015 by Dancing.Russian.Man 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topvicious 1 Posted March 8, 2015 Hey buddy Thanks for getting back with me, you know you i was thinking the exact samething,about the mod version servers its so hard to find the right server, i appreciate you taking the timeto help me my friend, looks like i may just wait and buy the standalone version, or may just takethe chance and purchase the game, i mean come on now! I purchased ArmA III the first thing i heard this game was on steam, and went through the whole beta game without nothing to do.Usually i get tired and frustrated, trying to find the right server hmmm so i just may get the standalone version someday, i've went to youtube and just about everywhere and like what i see so far.. but i knowthat i am playing over Bohemia's work that not 100% completed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
