Green957 4 Posted August 8, 2012 I bought ARMA 2 CO just for DayZ. It has been well worth it, I've even played a bit of the real game ;) I would recommend it, however rocket plans to release it as a separate game i believe. I'm not sure when this is happening but £20 for DayZ alpha is well worth it IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ingway 4 Posted August 8, 2012 You come into a Dayz forum expecting that someone would say no? lolBut unless you like reaslistic war games outside from the Dayz mod i'm not sure, maybe you should wait, because the game will get an standalone version for itself.

redfield-77 315 Posted August 8, 2012 Only if your expectations are realistic. You would be paying to alpha test a mod that is riddled with hacking and almost unplayable right now.Dayz is fucking awesome don't get me wrong, but the standalone version has been announced already so you may want to just wait for that.

dcskill 117 Posted August 8, 2012 $25 for Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead (Hours of campaign) + a free mod + ability to download custom missions (escape from chernarus, etc)Why not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dayzo 182 Posted August 8, 2012 Don't buy it for only the DayZ mod. If you like the military sim for itself, you'll get some fun out of the singleplayer downloadable campaigns and missions. However, the Arma II online scene has already been and gone.The next military revival will be when Arma III is released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Daem 15 Posted August 8, 2012 Yes! Buy it!I bought it ages ago and have just started playing DayZ.However, I was playing Operation Arrowhead (you need this as well for DayZ) with a friend online earlier (we were in a server with 60 people) and I must say, although the single player campaign may not be to everyones taste, the online is truly amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johan19 0 Posted August 8, 2012 Wait for the standalone game however If you can't wait buy it now, I know one thing for sure you will not regret! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

@ndreas 15 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) ... I bought ArmA2:CO only for the mod too (Steam Summer Sale) and haven't regretted it yet.It's really fun, if you are into sandbox-games and able to set yourself goals to reach and if you are comfortable with permadeath-experiences (and of course meeting a lot of head-counting little snipers with no more imagination how to play the game besides KoS).Best played with friends IMHO.
