i just bought combined ops :Dyou need arma 2: combined ops to play day z. it even says it on the page.
Please stop saying "Combined Ops" like everyone else in this thread, you're the ones confusing Darkness ZXW.
You do not need to buy Combined Ops, you JUST NEED Arma 2 free and BUY Operation Arrowhead though you get low res arma 2 textures.
Have fun with 99% of the models not showing up, and not having a player model/any interaction on the servers. You need both games, and these things will happen to you as fact if you don't have both.
You're autistic as this clearly has never nor will never happen to me, nor any of my countless friends who run DayZ off of arma 2 free.
NOTHING is different except low res textures, how are you guys really this dumb. You have never even tried, please stop.
When people say "Arma 2 Free" they mean arma 2 free AND Operation arrowhead (this is a GIVEN). They say Arma 2 Free because they didn't actually buy ArmA II.
