Considering To Buy ARMA II Questions

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I am contemplating if I should buy this game. I saw the DayZ modification and it really drew me in. What games do I exactly need to have this mod?

Also, can you play offline with any of the ARMA games?

1. ArmA2 Combined Operations (ArmA2 + Operation Arrowhead expansion). DLCs are not necessary, PMC is recommended though.

2. There's no always-online DRM if that's what you asking. You'll need to be online to play MP obviously, and if buying from Steam you'll have to be online to activate game when running it for the first time.

If you're asking if DayZ itself can be played offline, answer is no, there's no SP version of this mod AFAIK.

Also DayZ has it's own forum, if you have more questions about DayZ specifically. Link

All you need is Combined Operations (ARMA 2 + Operation Arrowhead) considering you can get the lite versions of the DLCs

By offline do you mean singleplayer or LAN? You can play singleplayer offline but LAN you're going to need another copy or else FADE protection might kick in.

DLC notes:

Private Military Company brings you higher res textures for basic survivor skins

British Armed Forces is also best if you want to get high res skins for the survivor camo skin (and maybe some vehicles ?)

Army of the Czech Republic might not be needed, but as I've seen Czech weapons have been added in the last DayZ patches, maybe this DLC will bring you higher res textures for those weapons as well

Anyway Arma 2 Complete Collection is not that expensive and it's a great game :)

Yea i agree! There's some servers that require you to have either the British or Czech AF pack.
