Arma II worth $15 or should I wait until the standalone?

Alright i've been hearing alot about DayZ and I want to get in on some of this action. But just wondering if its worth $15 or if I should just wait for the standalone. How much will the standalone cost if anything? Also looking to pickup torchlight 2, hope it goes down to 50% off.

I'm wondering the samething would anyone be kind enough shed some light on this subject. I am also under the impression that Day - Z won't be stand alone game but will be included in follow up of Arma 3? correct me if I'm wrong.

DayZ is a fantastic game that is plagued with its engine and hackers. You might want to wait for standalone at this point.KHAndAnime

Alright thanks for the help guys, since the only reason I would get Arma II is for DayZ and it seems to be filled with hackers, i'll pass until the alpha gets released on steam.

Thanks!

Yeah thank you guys gonna hold out for the stand alone version.

What everyone fails to mention is that if you get the mod you can install a program called DayZ Commander which automates the install and you can also download and play on extra maps (about 6 at the moment)the standalone will have only 1 map, plus the mod will still be worked on and it's where they can try stuff before they put it in the standalone.

I would get both basically.

People blow it way out of proportion, almost to a ridiculous level. Hackers aren't that common. The game is easily worth $15 if you are willing to invest some time into an incredibly deep military shooter. There are many things you'd have to learn just to attempt to play Dayz. I think it was well worth the effort, personally. There is still NO game out there that compares to this mod when it comes to tension, I still say Dayz does a better job at creating it than any other game in recent memory.

I use the PlaywithSix launcher, it has been simplified and works very well for a lot of different mods right out of the box. Very simple yet still pretty powerful.

I've not been killed or warped in literally months. I'm not sure how your luck is so bad when it comes to this game. I've been playing on and off private hives and the worst I've seen in a long while were some obviously moved cars and a few bandits that were a bit too skilled to be believable but I had no proof they were in fact hacking to win.
