pegasus (DayZ) 0 Posted July 24, 2012 I want to start playing this game, it looks like a lot of fun.I'm looking online to buy ArmA 2 : combined ops, and my question is, do I need to buy a brand new copy of the game or can I still play online with a used copy?Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c4mpfire 2 Posted July 24, 2012 Just buy it off of steam my son got it for 20 bucks and its well worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mansa 5 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) All you need to play online is a valid CD-key, if your used copy has that then it should work. If not I suggest you just buy combined ops on steam. :) Edited July 24, 2012 by Inzann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The L!ne 31 Posted July 24, 2012 dunno... if no one is using the key while you ar eplaying, there should be no problem. But i think, all not banned keys were already bought :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaeLK 16 Posted July 24, 2012 I don't really understand the used/new question but here's my answer.You can play Dayz if you own arma 2 and arma 2 operation arrowhead.Also you can play the game if you have arma 2 FREE and arma 2 operation arrowhead.I do not suggest the arma free option because of low res graphics and some have said that it has issues.(not 100% sure) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pegasus (DayZ) 0 Posted July 25, 2012 Thank you for the responses, I think I'll just buy it on Steam ($29.99)Another question though...I have been watching many videos on youtube of DayZ, some have great graphics and others don't. I know this depends on the players computer rig, but are there graphic patches to boost performance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoorah (DayZ) 36 Posted July 25, 2012 Thank you for the responses, I think I'll just buy it on Steam ($29.99)Another question though...I have been watching many videos on youtube of DayZ, some have great graphics and others don't. I know this depends on the players computer rig, but are there graphic patches to boost performance?Keep in mind that some of the videos on youtube might be done at 1080, where others are only done at 480. Can make a big difference, but you probably already knew that.As far as some having better graphics than others in the game - it all depends on the detail settings the person making the video chose. If he's running on an older CPU/GPU, he might have the graphic options set lower. Also, some people making videos might set the graphics lower temporarily, as recording a video will cause a loss of performance, which generally makes for poor videos.

smithy0815 6 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) you can buy a used game as long the old key isnt in use twice at the same time Edited July 25, 2012 by Smithy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
