ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead
I'm thinking about buying this and downloading ARMA II: Free to play DayZ, as I want to save some money.
I'm not looking just to play DayZ though, so I'm wanting to know if the vanilla version of Arrowhead is any good, and what other mods there are for it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Deadly Monk Doesn't Day Z suck now? I wish I had a PC so I could play the crap out of ARMA.[/quote] It's buggy, but usually when you're playing with friends you can get past that....usually.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jross1993 I know some people like ArmA II, but in my opinion it sucks, badly. The DayZ mod was the best thing to happen to the game. [/quote]From what I've played on ARMA II Free, it isn't that bad; all you need is patience.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] l Supertramp l Well, I've played the free version numerous times, and I have hardly experienced any lag.[/quote]I've been told that the free version is harder to run than the normal, so I feel confident in saying that you can probably run Arma 2 OA.

Arma II in general is kick ass. Though a word of advice, take a while to get used to the controls, they are clunky, also the engine is buggy as hell and poorly optimized.
