bond1971@tpg.com.au 92 Posted August 9, 2012 Well firstly, the MOD is free. If you already have Combined Operations then download it and have some fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
okano666@hotmail.co.uk 81 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Right now the mod is full to brim of hackers, glitches if you go anywhere near a town that has dead soldier bodies on the floor the artifacting and glitches make it impossible to see anything. (towns such as; Cherno, Stary Sobor, Berezino, NW Airfied to name a few)Id steer clear of the mod dont ruin the experiance for yourself.Wait for Standalone or hate to say it WarZ Edited August 9, 2012 by Okano 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted August 9, 2012 Standalone is expected this year, October at the earliest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wombraider 20 Posted August 9, 2012 The standalone game is in development along side Arma 3. Expect to see it around November. (No guarantees here). The DayZ mod will continue to get support after the standalone is out. It will probably fade out around then but I'm sure there will be players. For the next couple months you can kill for beans, get killed for beans, and survive in the hell that is in Chernarus. Why not? The game is well worth it. I have spent 60$ for a piece of shit game that I play for 14 hours and beat it then what? I have logged 70+ on DayZ and I do not intend to stop. Get it if you like the idea of fighting for your life every moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grezvany13 56 Posted August 9, 2012 Right now the mod is full to brim of hackers, glitches if you go anywhere near a town that has dead soldier bodies on the floor the artifacting and glitches make it impossible to see anything.

Not only can you play DayZ for free, but also thousands of other mods! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delta (DayZ) 1 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Over 1million players for a mod in this short time.. You should buy it and take part in the hell that is dayz.. There is no other game like this out there.. And its nice to be part of a game in process with new things added all the time..Arma II is also a very good game itself Edited August 9, 2012 by Delta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
