How to get dayz without arma 2

[AssGolf]

Well all you have to do is download arma 2 free, and put it in your arma 2 operation arrowhead folder located in steamapps.All dayz needs from Arma 2 is the map, and a couple guns that arma 2 free include.

Hi. As far is i know, if you using Arma 2 Free + ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead, you may have low-quality textures in DayZ. Check out the link - http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/110266-will-dayz-mod-work-with-arma2-free/

Yes this is True..... you can just get Arma 2 Free and Buy Operation Arowhead, then you are set to play DayZ, BUT in Much LOWER graphics quallity.

If you do it that way using arma 2 Free then you will see players a good while AFTER they have seen you in the distance as the quallity of graphics is Grately reduced ! Just buy the Full game from steam for £24.95

if you are gonna buy them, then I recommend that you wait till a holiday for the steam sales
