DayZ to get some official support in the next ArmA 2 patch!

Apparently BI saw how popular it is. DayZ is developed by one of the main developers of ArmA 2.

Here's the news.

Anyways, BI saw how much ArmA's sales increased because of the mod and have decided to include the mod as a part of the 1.61 patch for ArmA 2!

This is exciting news! I bet that we see a stand alone DayZ game launch after ArmA 3. I know for a fact that BI will not mess this up. They are committed to the hardcore.

That is awesome news. I downloaded the demo for Arma 2 yesterday to see how it played. Definitely going to take some getting used to. I had to bring up the controls menu every 30 seconds :P

That's awesome. I just read the RPS interview a little while ago.. didn't realize that the guy who made DayZ works for Bohemia. So yeah, this definitely gives me high hopes that DayZ will be a part of Arma 3 in some way.

Yeah it takes awhile.

What you need to learn is that there is a context sensative menu for just about everything. You access it with the scroll wheel.

This makes a lot of the hotkeys unecessary.

I wonder how much they made in sales ever since DayZ's release.

I'm going to wait for ArmA III and play the DayZ mod then... no point in purchasing ArmA II at this point.

I hope it gets a standalone title release. I cant wait to try it, I may get Arma2 next time its on sale now.

This is exactly the kind of game we should be getting these days, the combination of realism, surviving against the odd, the unpredictibility of your fellow man. Its the perfect kind multiplayer game.

Thats awsome, they sales they have got must be crazy.

I would be shocked if there was not a standalone game. But i really hope that arma 3 is much smoother playing

Yep Wasdie, great news indeed.

If it's included now do you still need Arrowhead? I don't have the expansion yet and have been waiting for a good price drop to purchase an do to finally play the mod.xXDrPainXx

It will probably be for ArmA 2 Operaiton Arrowhead, not just ArmA 2.

Bet one day, it will be made in the ArmA 3 engine as well

That's actually some awesome news. BI have gained a lot more respect from me.

ARMA 2 is now a must buy for me. I've been utting it off, but now...now is the time.*

*Now being when I have free money

Awesome, this and Project Zomboid are everything I wanted in a zombie game.

awesome news, im still keeping my eye on steam to see if this ever goes on sale :P

I need to ask, I want to get this mod so first:

1) What version do you need to play it OA or CO?

2) Will it work with the greenmangaming version?

That's the thing I have Arma II from them and it was the free version that they did.

Awesome news. I immediately thought that Arma II being nr. 1 in the STEAM charts might have something to do with the mod.

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] You need CO. Which is ArmA 2 AND Operation Arrowhead. It should work with the greenmangaming version, as long as it is the full retail game and not the dumbed down free version they made.ferret-gamer

That's what I was wondering cos OA is only 10 euro on GMG now so I wanted to know if it would work or not.

Umm... it says nothing about including the mod with the patch. It just says that they they plan on adding support to the next patch for the mod. That blog is listing quotes out of context:

Ahh I see :)

Honestly I'd prefer if this mod came out for OFP a long time ago. This mod feels really late, and dealing with ArmA 2's awful engine to play it simply isn't a treat.Mcspanky37

Hopefully we get something similar with Arma III

I thought that the free version + OA counts as Combined Operations, but last week I heard that some people managed to make it work as such. Dunno if this is standard or an exception, though.

From what I was hearing CO only gives you better character models or something but there is a lot of misinformation going around. Way I figure it I only need OA to play it since I have Arma II already

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] By the free version I mean the dumbed down non-HD version they released for free. Not when they gave the full game away for free.

Sweet! Buying Arma2 now, this mod sounds and looks fantastic!

I'm waiting for a price drop. The idea of this mod is genial.

They should totally consider expanding it, putting more brains and effort in a project to bring it to their next ARMA.

I've been putting off buying it forever, this might give me that push.

Maybe during the Steam summer sale.

There have been ALOT of patches so Arma2 runs much better than it did near release.
