Arma 2: Combined Operations is on sale for $23.99 (20% off) at GOG. This is the DRM free version.
This comes with ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead, which is required to play the DayZ mod.
Awesome mod btw. There’s a really good DayZ stream that I can’t remember at the moment. I’ll edit this post when I can remember what it is. Has a lot of good tips for new players.
I would honestly say that people should wait and buy the “stand alone” edition for the day-z mod. It has been confirmed that the game/mod will be focused more on that version (also enhanced with a new interface and such) which will not happen to the mod on Arma2:CO.
But if you’re going to play both the original games and the mod then i would clearly say “DO IT! NOW!”.
But as i said. If you only want the mod then wait for the standalone game. It is cheaper, it is different (As in an all new interface, tweaked zombies and animations).
Good post. Will the standalone be using the ArmA 2 engin or the new ArmA 3 engine?
