Brand new player - a few questions

[arma2zombies 10]

Hi all,

I hate to make one of these threads but I'm really looking for some guidance. My friend has been playing Arma 2 for a really long time and he wants me to get it. He mainly plays the zombie mod which is what I'm mostly interested in too. I will also play the regular game and single player all the way through of course though.

My questions are,

- Is it worth it to get Arma 2 right now with Arma 3 out?

- Are people still playing zombie mod?

- Does Arma 3 have a zombie mod yet?

Thank you so much for the help.

1. Arma 2 is still played by many groups. If you are looking to enjoy the base game without DayZ, you still can. I suggest you find a clan or squad to play with though.

2. Yes they are. Just look at the server list.

3. Yes. Zombies and Dynamic Zombie Sandbox

Thanks man. Still don't know which to get :) Oh well, probably just pull the trigger on Arma 3.

I own both but beyond just trying a few things out in 3 I have went back to 2 for the time being. In a nutshell, 3 does not really seem finished yet. I tried making a few missions to play with friends but too many bugs and things not working as intended led me to keep playing 2.

3 looks really pretty (if not in a closer to mario kart grass sort of way), but for now I think 2 is the most robust and least buggy of them.

Also if you are looking for playing zombie mods personally I think Arma 2 has environments that are more toned down and fit the "spooky" environment more than arma 3's high saturated super blue skies and super green grass.

Agree i own both games, But still Play almost exclusively Arma II CO. I try to play ARMA III time to time, but i always only end up pissed off and go back to ARMA II.
