Should I get Arma 2:CO or wait for DayZ to be standalone.

Or will people who already have Arma 2:CO get DayZ standalone for free?

Should I answer him or should I tell him to use the search function ? :/

Get it if you just can't wait to play. Stand alone will be locked down better then the Mod. No we'll have to pay for DayZ the SA. Most of us will gladly pay for no other reason than to support Rocket and team. I'd say wait if your prone to whining about hackers, glitches, or balance tho.

wait for the standalone the current game is full of hackers/cheaters who destroy this awesome game.

as far as i know u wont get the standalone for free as u only bought arma2/oa and installed a mod and didnt bought dayz as a game itself

Ok I guess I'll wait for DayZ to be standalone because right now it's extremely buggy and it's still Alpha. Thanks guys.

I'd say buy the game, but only if you're interested in Arma and the Arma side of things along with what DayZ is offering, because you may find that it doesn't appeal to your liking.

I'm only interested in DayZ. Arma is a great war simulator but I'm interested in the zombie apocalypse simulator mod.

Well to be honest here DayZ isn't the only Zombie mod for Arma 2! Plus their are so many great mods out there.

Really? Can you post any? I haven't really found anything special except WarZ(which I also plan to get).

http://www.armaholic.com/ Always a great place to start looking for another mod. I've heard good things about Chernarus Apocalypse Although to be honest I been pretty much just rocking DayZ and Arma2 atm.

Also you can check around by going to Google. :D The sheer number of mods for this game is staggering.

It's not a compromise, Buy it now and be prepared to pay for the standalone when it comes out. You will miss out on so much if you wait till then.

Arma 2 is a great game as stated and there is a bigger community working at it all the time.

He didn't want search bar stuff he wanted an answer

No we already playing probably wont get it for free but it's worth buying trust me in a few weeks I've learnt heaps that I would have taken so long in the standalone it's better if you know what your doing and can get right into right away instead of messing with learning the basics. So don't be cheap pay the $30

tell to use search function

ok then...

Use the search function then you can see the same posts but in a different topic :)

Wait a minute. Will the DayZ mod die after Rocket will make a DayZ standalone? Will we still be able to play this one?

[joeoblong@yahoo.com 614]

We will still be able to play. He is going to open it up (the mod) so the community can mod the mod. Should be interesting to see what comes of it. He actually already has to think of it, look at the maps that have come out since the announcement of the SA.

Won't that attract more hackers and create more bugs?

I made my decision. I will wait for WarZ and DayZ standalone. I will get both of them.

Well the hacker problem will always be a problem for DayZ the mod. (as with any game really) The stand alone will hopefully curb the rampant abuse tho. But with the mod open like that is gives the admins of servers more options on how to police their servers.

Good luck in your future gaming adventures.
