Is DayZ harder to run than Arma 2 Free?

[Andrew0085 0]

I downloaded Arma 2 Free to check out how my PC can run it. I managed tp get an acceptable FPS, but I had to turn the settings down so far that if DayZ is even slightly more intensive than Arma 2 Free I won't be able to play it. Thanks for your help!

I tried this very same thing before buying everything necessary to play DayZ. It works perfectly. I couldn't play arma2 free with anything above lowest graphics settings, BUT With DayZ I can play with everything set to normal! It's awesome.

Andrew0085 if you have further doubts just post your PC specs and I'm sure its possible to figure out how the game will run on your machine.

Yes it can, but you will have low quality textures and you still need to buy Operation Arrowhead no matter what.

Don't think so, he should just watch some youtube videos before buying it (if he will), I did the same with minecraft.

or he can just buy ArmA 2 OA over steam for 20$. Last suggestion is to wait to the discounts, and then buy it, I think it'll be around the 5$ range only for OA.
