ImperialRed 2 Posted August 17, 2012 Hey guys, I'm wondering if I should buy Arma: CO to play the Day Z mod now? Or should I wait later when the standalone is released and buy that? I read somewhere that its going to be released around the end of the year? Not sure on that though...But help me out on my decision please!! I would love to start playing, but I'm stuck with this!

BobDole (DayZ) 129 Posted August 17, 2012 i would wait unless you have alot of money to throw at games full of hackers, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velox (DayZ) 0 Posted August 17, 2012 This game is definitly worth it, but you will have to deal with a lot of bugs and hackers. If you don't mind that go on and buy it, I did and didn't regret it by now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sir_renzo 0 Posted August 17, 2012 i havent even encountered a hacker, just dont play on servers with 30+ people, BUY IT ! so worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CyberTyrant 6 Posted August 17, 2012 If you're just looking to play the mod: Don't buy. Wait for the standalone.If you're going to put some hours into Arma CO itself: Buy now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Night Stalker (DayZ) 9 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Get Arma CO now, god knows when the standalone will come out. Edited August 17, 2012 by Night Stalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas 5195 Posted August 17, 2012 If the standalone is released in November, you should still be able to squeeze enought hours out of DayZ to justify buying it now. The mod will still be continued after the standalone, but it the standalone is even barely playable at release, I plan to leave the mod behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aaron8001@hotmail.com 0 Posted August 17, 2012 id buy it now. assuming your going to enjoy the game, I'm sure you will play it enough to justify $30 bucks. Ya there are bugs, but you get used to it and learn what not to do; and i dont run into hackers half as often as other people seem to. but like the other guy said, i also don't go in massive servers very often.Buy it now! you wont regret it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chopzzay 4 Posted August 17, 2012 I say you buy arma 2 now. Cus ArmA 2 is an awesome game in my opinion :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobDole (DayZ) 129 Posted August 17, 2012 i havent even encountered a hacker, just dont play on servers with 30+ people, BUY IT ! so worth iti dont think the 3 servers i play on ever hit 30 people not even 20 and still alot of hackers join, you know not all hackers just want to join populated servers and teleport around the shore killing noobs. almost everyday some hacker joins and teles to all the vehicles and blows them up.

BobDole (DayZ) 129 Posted August 17, 2012 it is worth buying it now if you can deal with not getting attached to your gear or have a base Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarin4med@gmail.com 10 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) i would wait unless you have alot of money to throw at games full of hackers,Lol@ a lot of money.Arma2:CO is $33The standalone is supposed to be what, $15? Less is you buy it in alpha.So that's less than $50 for 2 games plus an expansion for one if them.Seeing as most crapy games cost at least $50, that is neither a lot of money or a waste.

ImperialRed 2 Posted August 17, 2012 The Standalone is suppose to be only 15 bucks!? Thats awesome. Ill guess Ill buy Arma CO for the mod, I dunno how much Im going to play the actual game but, if the Standalone is only 15 bucks sure Ill buy CO.Thank you for the response guys! Keep discussing.

Blindingsun 233 Posted August 17, 2012 I bought Arma 2 CO and PMC and BAF. JUST to play DayZ. but. I've been a little bored of getting killed by hackers recently and have been playing just plain old Arma2 + expansions..and as an ex service-man I'm really quite enjoying it, the campaign is quite enjoyable... not always realistic but still fun nonetheless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
