griffinz 2816 Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) Thread unlocked. I don't want to see anyone posting anything like;"I paid for Arma 2 for nothing, what a waste. Give me DayZ for free!"You bought a game for a free mod, that was the decision you made. By the time the standalone is released, you will have 2 games (Arma 2, DayZ) for less than the price of Skyrim.People who fail to heed this warning will receive one.

iamblazelflack 33 Posted August 8, 2012 That would be amazing if you got a limited edition like item or something, or a gun color for having both arma 2 combined ops and dayz before it came out. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NightFire661 13 Posted August 8, 2012 I paid for Arma 2 for nothing, what a waste. Give me DayZ for free!=DI'm too bored with my life... Anyway. Glad to see this is finally going standalone. And I am more then willing to pay 20$ for this game, since it's something I have been looking for my whole life. That is quite literal by the way.Good luck getting there though. With hackers and bugs being quite a bitch, it may take a few years to get anywhere near that point. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
