Admit the DayZ Mod was Better

[Garmo]

Sure the SA has better graphics... but the mod had so much more fun as in the settings the admins ran on servers. Such better gameplay. So much more to do... Here, the server settings admins choose to have are... repetitive... boring... too little for what it could be.

Anyone else agree?

There are still active servers on the mod, PLUS ITS FREE so if you are interested, definitely give it a shot. It's amazing.

The mod can not be compared to this version it’s too outdated

It was good for its time but the stand-alone is far superior

Graphically and animations yes, but gameplay, idk. The gameplay on the mod was so much more fun, vehicles were not as buggy, Epoch had far better gameplay than the modded servers on this standalone...

it probably cause it just came out but the standalone is far better I think.

I have not played the mod in over ten years, but I remember it having it's own fair share of issues.

I still miss the atmosphere from the mod. Standalone never felt as tense or bleak. It almost feels peaceful by comparison. Zombies are way too easy still. Without the pain mechanic, they pose little to no threat. Also they removed the zombies ability to finish you off once unconcious, which was a mistake for a "hardcore survival game"

one thing I did notice about the mod it had way more zombies chasing you if you wasn't careful and nighttime seem to lasted longer I think. the music too.

The mod is better...the problem is alot of people never played the mod and dont understand why its so much better.yea for the time the game still has bugs but i still boot up the mod and i still have fun for an hour then i ever did in stand alone.

Arma 2 and operationhead is not free but the dayz mod is.you need both arma 2 and operation head to install dayz mod.

i disagree..

coffee is better than tea.

it's subjective.

The good thing is that you can go play it or any A2 or A3 mod.

however, as they are mods for a different game I may close this thread if it becomes too grumpy or the usual grizzliers get too overexcited.

You have just "nostalgia".

Nothing more.

DayZ Standalone is far superior to the mod.

Don't forget how buggy was the mod in its time.
The nostalgia is blinding you.

What do you mean it just came out? The standalone has been out for about 9-10 years now and when I played in alpha to now, it isnt much difference besides the mods people made. The game is still terrible in terms of a looting/survival game lmao. Mods only make it fun by making pvp common. The base game itself is ass and not playable as a looter/survival...

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

oh, dear. I knew it would come to this.

it's fine you don't like the standalone, but as you know the mod is still playable, perhaps simply just go play it than post trite like "the game is ass"?

I'm all for giving threads a go even if they're not positive but this is just the same old and not even a good one.

oh, before anyone screams "freespeach" or "censorship"! we don't owe anyone a place to pour drivel.
