Going to buy Operation Arrowhead, do I need to copies to play DayZ with my brother?

So basically as the topic says, I'm thinking about buying Operation Arrowhead in order to play DayZ and I would like to be able to play this mod with my brother as well. So if I bought a CD copy of the expansion, would both my brother and I be able to play DayZ on the same server with that or would that cause some sort of issue with the CD keys being the same? Pretty much every other PC game I've bought on CD has been just fine with that, but as this game is newer I just felt like I had to double check. Thanks to anyone for any insight they can give into this. :)

You need to buy both Arma II and Operation arrowhead x 2 in order for you two to play together. Hope this helps

Ah, well that's unfortunate. That's another $20 out of my pocket that I don't currently have. Well thanks for the help though, and the quick response!

yon dont nessecarily need arma 2, since you also could use arma 2 free, to get dayz running, but that might get you some minor disadvantages

but you defenetly need a original key for each of you

Not really, actually. Luckily, if you install DayZ to all users on your computer, the other account will have a separate one than your main computer account. It's a great workaround.
