Puchatek16 4 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I'm going to buy one of this games and I can't decide which one would be the best. I know that there were so many similar topics in internet, but you know, they are old, something could change (I mean bug fixes, updates etc.), so I'm asking you now: Dayz Standalone or Dayz Mod? I know that people saying that Standalone is worse, but... It's still alpha, right? So, what should I do? :)Sorry if it's wrong section :) Edited August 16, 2015 by Puchatek16 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of people here will tell you otherwise but right now its a better game/experience.That will change some day but that day is not today. Plus arma 2 is a great game in and of itself with lots of mods and missions and maps, oh shit maps maps maps.

The longer you wait to buy the standalone, the more it will cost. So, if you can you should buy ArmaII and add the DayZ mod to it. You should also buy the standalone, but only dabble with it or participate in testing the experimental branches, and save yourself a few bucks now. Check in often and play the standalone when it gets released, or hit beta at the least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S3V3N 1402 Posted August 16, 2015 Hi guys, I'm going to buy one of this games and I can't decide which one would be the best.

I know that people saying that Standalone is worse, but... It's still alpha, right? So, what should I do? :)Sorry if it's wrong section :)A shame you missed the big Bohemia Sale earlier this year. It had both Arma II and Dayz in it, basically for the price of one game. I would not want to have missed my Arma II-Mod experience and there really is a lot different stuff to do in the mods. Also, in the current Dayz SA build there are no zombies or very few. The mod is much more feature complete and you have cool vehicles and different versions of the mod with focus on different playstyles. I particularly liked Namalsk where you could really feel the cold. There are lots of different maps for the mod(s), so you will have much more to explore there. However, having said that. I played the mods for years and had a great time, but since I have the Standalone I never played the mod again. The standalone drives everyone crazy with its bugs and work-in-progress systems. But if you can have patience, it will come out the better game. If I were you, I'd buy either one of them now and wait for a sale to get the other, if possible. Can't go wrong that way ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puchatek16 4 Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) If the price was the same, I think I would choose Standalone. But i still don't know, I mean, they are still working on standalone and one day this game will be awesome, I'm sure. The question is, when will this day come. How do you think? Will I have to wait a long time before this game will be better than mod?Damn, it's hard to make a decision :D But well, I think it's a good idea to buy DayZ mod now and maybe just wait for a sale to get Standalone, for example, when it will be at least in beta.One last question: Can I buy just Arma 2 or I have to buy Combined Operations version?

You need both, the map is from Arma2 and a lot of the other assets are from the operation arrowhead expansion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
