There is no difference if you buy Arma and install the mod or buy a standalone game and you would miss a lot more content from the main game and from the massive amount of community mods, it would be just the same game since Arma is the sandbox engine. But it is really amazing that Arma 2, released in 2010, beats Max Payne 3 in the charts.

Geez, I just found out about this game two days ago and I must say it looks like it's full of win. The gameplay videos are insane lol. Just might have to give it a shot.

Originally posted by Zaltark I thought the same thing. But I bought it anyway because my friends were playing. It looks like crap, the AI are crap, the interface is crap, its buggy as crap. And I cant stop playing. And when I'm not playing, I'm thinking about playing. Even had a few related dreams (nightmares) about the game. This game (MOD) is a true gem, and if you decide not to play your seriously cheating yourself out of an experience in gaming that you never had. At least, I havent. EDIT: I have not posted in these forums in months and even forgot my password, but I did a password renewal just to post this in hopes that you change your mind. |

When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world. |

i'm thinking about it too...
Not sure if it's worth buying Arma 2 at this point, with arma 3 coming this year i guess. But this DayZ mod is tempting me every day ! I like every aspect of it. Maybe i'll wait a steam sale or something like that. For the ones playing the Mod, how is its longevity ? does it gets boring fast ? |

It sounds like it's loading but on some servers it can take upwards to 3-5 minutes to actually spawn you in-game. Also there are not only servers with at least 2 different versions of the mod there is also about 5 different versions of the game as well so finding the right version of both with what you have actually installed can be tricky. I have version 1.7 of the mod so how I narrow it down a little is I put "1.7" into the Host dialog box and DayZ into the Mission Dialog box on the server filter screen. This at least filters out all but the version of the mod I have so all I have to do is make sure the game version is correct.

For me personally? No, With the harsh world and very unpredictable game play I can see myself playing this for a long time to come. As for whether or not you will find it boring I can't really answer that. I can tell you that it's like no other game you've ever played. There are also a lot of different ways to approach survival in this game. If you need to have constant action you will want to hang out in the 2 major cities on the southern coast as that is probably where 60%-70% of the players hang out on most servers. Expect to die from this play style however... a lot. If you do head inland expect to have a lot of time devoted to just running through forested areas with brief stops in the many farms and small towns you'll encounter to gather supplies. Basically this game can cater to many different play styles it all depends on how you personally choose to approach it and how many risks you're willing to take to get what you need to survive.
Edit: Oh and on a side note the base game ArmA 2 isn't a bad game either. I highly recommend anyone that bought it for DayZ to check out the single player campaigns as well as the normal multiplayer. It does take some getting used to if you are used to games like BF or COD however. There are also many other great mods for this game as it is a true military sandbox through the use of the editor that is included with the game. Most of the other mods do center around the main military/war theme of the ArmA series however.

I've been debating this too. It looks like crap. But it looks like fun, while looking like crap.
