ok so my question is. Should I buy Arma II and CO now while its on 50% sale?
I know that there are already posts on this but there might be more recent news. If not I apologize.

I'd be getting it mostly to play DayZ with some friends.

My doubts rely on the fact that with the Arma 3 coming soon, Arma II might go on 75% this summer sales,

And the fact that apparently there's an incoming standalone version of DayZ. that shouldn't be long..

At this point I would say just to wait for the standalone. This if you only want to play DayZ.

Anything from 15-30$ I assume, and the alpha version is soon to come!

Bohemia interactive gives equal prices for all regions, so if day z will cost 20€, so in USA it will be 26usd.
No way that it will cost 15usd

You should buy ARMA for ARMA, its a lot more than just DayZ.

Yep, ARMA II is really awesome, it has some bugs, but the story is really interesting. Also is the best simulator I've ever found, I mean, you can do anything in ARMA, not only shoot.

Well I haven't played any Arma games, so not the Day-Z mod either but my general understanding is that when the guy that made the mod is making a standalone version of it, that's gonna be much better

You don't actually need to but ARMA II to play DayZ, you only need CO. That said, it's a pretty bad time to buy ARMA II as you say, Summer sales are around the corner, ARMA 3 is coming out soon and DayZ is going standalone.

Personally, I would hold off until the Summer Sales, unless you plan to play with your friends (who already own DayZ I presume?) right now.

yea but to get the CO I need Arma.. so I do need the game and one of the DLC's.. My main questions is how long will the standalone take to be released.. cuz if it is like 4/5 months I might buy arma II and then the standalone afterwards

You can actually use the Arma II Lite with CO, you don't technically need the base game. It'll just look like shit.

I can only say that you must wait for a 75% off in the summer sales or wait for the standalone version. If you konw people actually playing it and want to play it badly then go for it now. Sorry that i'm not too specific but well nothing is worse xD

I'm not going to buy it unless they put 75% it was 50% several times.
The only reason I'm thinking about get it is Day Z xD

75% then I'll consider it. 50% is no go for me at the moment.

yea kinda my answer too.. It might go 75% sometime during the summer sales considering arma 3 is coming.. There I think I'll buy it no matter what.. 50% I'll only buy it if it is suspected for the standalone to take quite some time to be launched

DayZ is cool but the Arma II the real game is really cool too.

Remember than you need to have the Combined Operations (core game plus Operation Arrow) to run it. Make sure you don't just buy the core game!

yes I know :D
Thanks for the reminder.. the DLC is even more expensive than the game haha.
I'll make sure to get the CO pack cuz its cheaper if I do decide to get it

If you're just getting it for DayZ I'd wait for the standalone game.

On a slightly unrelated topic: I cannot find your favorite band for the life of me, whatever you're giving away better be radical!

Apparently the standalone version of DayZ is coming this month. So there's 4 days.
Rather not buy ArmA 2 for DayZ only, it's pretty dead compared to what it was 6 months ago.

The alpha of DayZ Standalone will not be out this month. It was said at E3 that the alpha release is a few months away so I wouldn't expect it until August.

DayZ stand alone is coming in the 2014

I personally do not advise you to buy it to play the mod DayZ as, pulling the conclusions, it is a bug with legs.

I made the same mistake that you're going to do just to try the mod ..... and I'm bitterly regretted

Buy it, I made this same decision 6 months ago and I wasn't disappointed. It may be an alpha mod but its truly amazing and what people seem to forget is that it's built of the already completely polished arma 2 engine, yes it has bugs but it plays exactly the same as arma 2 does.

It will be on sale again during Summer Sale, make your choice later. It was 75% off on Amazon 1 month ago, Steam will do again 50% or better (66% or 75%).

well like the hint says its on the same place as Q2.. if you found that one already you may have noticed something that will give you the lead.. P.s. it's a portuguese football club

IMHO DayZ is a little bit overratted. So, if you are not 100% sure, that you want to play it - dont buy Arma II.

P.S. Any hints on Q2?

Upd. Got it. Nice puzzle.

thanks for the feedback :) I thought the puzzle would be quite easy, but its a case where you have to know where to look.. It came out harder than I intended since its a bundle game.. I might do more in the future :D

for you guys stuck I'll drop a few hints as I didn't intend to make it that hard, Both Q2 and Q3 hint/answers are in the same place. So if you found the hint for one question you don't have to look in other places. Second hint is that the hints are pretty out there in the open, (someone who has done the puzzle can confirm it?). You don't have to look deep at all, the hints are hidden in plain sight.

let me know if you still haven't found it :)

Q2 probably is easy, if you know it... I'm starting to guess random words off of your Steamprofile soon :)
