pwnage13371 147 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) How Valve and all them say you need to buy both Arma II and Arma II Operation Arrowhead? You only need to get Arma II: Free. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but I did feel good saving another $10 on a game I'd never play.Edit: Even the front page of DayZ says you need both. :o Edited August 17, 2012 by pwnage13371 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thasik 79 Posted August 17, 2012 Not really bullshit considering it boils down to a company wanting money, like all other companies out there. It's the consumers responsibility to research before a purchase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amaROenuZ 144 Posted August 17, 2012 If you want the game to look any good, you need Arma II for reals.If you like your game looking like something from 2002, then sure, go with Arma II: Free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeasyrida 8 Posted August 17, 2012 I understand what your saying. And yes, you are correct, but I actually enjoy arma and durring the steam sale it was cheap and well worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grizzle 21 Posted August 17, 2012 ... but I did feel good saving another $10 on a game I'd never play.You do realize that when you play DayZ that you are playing ArmA 2 right? The game is 95% ArmA and 5% DayZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use common sence and you will get far in life.Let me explain it for you. We all know this game is a mod. Arma II is not the best game on its own. In other words, it sucks IMO. DayZ is a GOOD mod for a BAD (I know I will get attacked for this) game. DayZ is nothing like Arma II on it's own at all. It just looks the same.

brizz 7 Posted August 17, 2012 afaik arma2:free has low resolution textures or/and other reduced graphic options. in that case im glad i bought arma2:co Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1nexx 7 Posted August 17, 2012 It's arguable that it's better to purchase arma II, instead of getting the free version, as it has vastly superior graphics, which could help you pick out a bushwookie from the surrounding undergrowth. Not to mention, you're giving money to BIS, who pays Rocket a salary, if I'm not mistaken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Sloth 8 Posted August 18, 2012 The mod is developed for co but you can use arma 2 free it just requires a little more work to set it up and the graphics are a little worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Diealot 46 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Yeh, I'm just repeating what was already said: ArmA2:Free and ArmA2 are not exactly the same thing.And I don't blame anyone for not wanting to spend 10 bucks on something they feel they'll never use.I started with ArmA2:Free, I enjoyed it too much not to spend the money on A2:CO in the Steam Summer Sale.Then there was DayZ. All I can say is, holy crap what an experience for around 25 bucks. (or something like that)Chill ppl. Enjoy stuff and don't flame others for not enjoying the same stuff you enjoy. (did that make any sense?):edit: And just for laughs(?): Bullshit= The feces of an intact (i.e., not castrated) adult male of the species Bos taurus.Peace.SD.
