You get free tires, but you complain because you don't have a car to put them on, and don't want to buy one.
Someone gives you a free mod, but you complain because you don't have the game to run it, and don't want to buy it.

Some people feel entitled to everything on this forum. Sure has gone downhill in recent years.

It's not a game, it's a mod. Because it's a mod, you have to buy the original game. Just like back in the day before Day of Defeat, Counter-Strike and Red Orchestra became stand alone games.

You need Operation Arrowhead to play it (Really you need Arma II and the Arrowhead expansion, but the free-version of Arma II works.) So if you have Arma II you're screwed and need to buy Arrowhead before playing the mod; if you don't have either I suggest buying Combined Operations so you have both (It's $10 less than both the base game and the expansion and you'll get higher-res textures compared to the free-Arma II and owning OA.)

Misleading!

The Combined Operations package costs 25€/$25(?) on Steam, ARMA 2 alone costs 15, as does Arrowhead, the bundle saves you 5 quid.

Have we really fallen so far as a community (Gamers) that we forgot what modifications are? I don't get why people are up-in-arms about having to buy a game they don't own so they can play a Mod for that game... You really want to play the mod? Ok, it costs $20-30. If you don't think it's worth that, then don't play. It's rather simple. If you don't want to buy Arma II to play this, and would rather wait until it gets finished and is possibly released as a standalone package, I hate to break it to you, but it will probably cost $20-30 if not more.

But you can get the Operation Arrowhead expansion to work with the free version of Arma II, so it technically costs more.

Makes perfect sense, and I agree with you.

The analogy is fine.

You get free tires, but you complain because you don't have a car to put them on, and don't want to buy one.

Someone gives you a free mod, but you complain because you don't have the game to run it, and don't want to buy it.

All of NOPE.

I have a computer. I want to play this game. I am forced to buy a game that I DO NOT want and will probably never play. I can't buy Day-Z alone (yet) regardless of me willing to pay $20 for it. I'm not given that OPTION. I HAVE to buy another particular game just to play that one. That's fine, some day I may be able to get it standalone. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm simply flat-out saying I'm not buying Arma 2, yet I am being called a cheapass/etc. for voicing that.

A vehicle analogy equivalent would be: I have a car. I want this cool set of titanium lug nuts that I saw, but I am forced to buy the full set of wheels if I want those lug nuts. I can't buy the lug nuts alone, regardless of me willing to pay $50 for them. I HAVE to buy the $500 set of wheels. You are basically saying that it is totally normal for this to happen, and that you SHOULD have to buy the full set of wheels to get lug nuts. In most cases in the real world, you CAN buy a set of lug nuts that you like. That's the point I'm getting across. It's too early, but Day-Z SHOULD become standalone just like DoD/the other games that were once mods have.

Dayz is a mod using content from Arma II though :|
That's why your analogy is wrong and his isn't.

You don't have the requirements to play the game.

The mod has no game engine. It is a shell that wraps around the existing engine, which is being sold for $30.

Spend money to obtain the prerequisites, or don't play and stop complaining.
