If You Like DayZ, Why Should You Play Arma 2 In 2022? 

This game had a unique atmosphere that Arma 3 lacked. It just feels right and that you really are in Eastern Europe.

Arma 3 has better mechanics and a better feel than Arma 2. But Arma 2 is way better in my opinion. I don’t like how all the maps on Arma 3 are the same. I’ve never liked dessert combat type gameplay. I love going through to forests of a real place fighting real enemies with real vehicles. I always find myself trying to download maps and vehicals on Arma 3 from Arma 2. Arma 2 has a special and nostalgic place in my heart. Time to get it back.

Fun fact: The artifacting in this recording is because OP's graphics card is dying. It isn't arma's fault.

ArmA 2 is my favorite because it's great vanilla, no mods required. The perfect era of weapons and units. It has great ambience, realistic lighting, distant skybox, the built in ambient combat module combined with the secops manager is just hours of fun for us who like small team special ops behind enemy lines. Built in medical system that allows your character to fire their weapon and crawl around like a last stand before being healed or bleeding out, it also allows dragging. Built in civilian life and vehicle manager, ambient animals, ambient effects module that creates snow for example depending on time of year. The list goes on. ArmA 3 has none of the above, it's just an empty shell for modders.

I love arma 2. if the dated look of arma 2/oa holds you back, you can install SSL mod and the reshade present (ultimate graphic improvement) in moddb arma 2 oa. That insanely improve graphics

Arma 2 and 3 were alwways too much for my pc growing up..i plaues a total of 8 hours intil i got my modern rig last tear ..yet arma 2 is still my fav game ever. I sometime load in and just sit in it. It odd it feels comfortable. The ambience, the sound, the clackikg of my gear as i run

Arma 2 is was awesome. I created so many cool custom missions in the editor. I spent so many hours playing dayz mod too. Never played SA dayz. I had mostly stopped playing video games by that time.

I recently purchased Arma2 and OA. Having a blast!!

I was planning on buying this but I had no idea what this game was about and could not find really any video explaining what this game really is but your really summed it up for me! Thank you.

I'm playing Arma 2 OA & Dayz Mod since 2014 and i'm still playing this game every day. In my opinion arma 2 Is Better than DayZ SA & Arma 3. Bye :)

4:50 is that Mr Beast

great, just to say i have a group of mates arround 10 that play this games in coop on weekends great stuff with mods and stuff real fun

Good old ArmA2 gotta dig it out sometime

Arma 2 truly is the masterpiece of Bohemia. When comparing not just this game but this work of art to its successor products it really shows how Bohemia has slipped from the pinnacle product they created. Really it’s hard to believe the same company made arma 3 and dayz as they don’t even compare to this masterpiece. It’s almost like completely different people made this game and then left. Very bizarre especially when you check the credits of both games and see it is the same people. How does that happen? How do you create arma 2 and then with the same exact people create a watered down piece of trash like arma 3 and consequentially dayz standalone? How does that happen? I don’t know

i believe in arma 2 supremacy

0:40 its 2012 during HR

Guys Arma 2 still work on win10 64x???. Because i play in operation flashpoint long time ago, and its amazing. I play in arma 3 and its not very good for me. Sorry for my english?

Bis Forums: on Home page. 1. Select ArmA 2 box. 2. Select ARMA 2 & OA - USER MISSIONS. 3. Go to page 1. 4. SAS COMMANDOS 2024 Singleplayer

I missed the arma 2 wasteland days. Dayz was cool, but I only really liked dayz overwatch.

I would love to but all the servers are overseas now.

On arma2 dayz vanilla and gonna check epoch soon

Surprise DayZ maps come from joint operations and first Arma

I still load up and play Arma 2 with the Domination mod made by Xeno that I edited to my liking got a few vids up playin it .PS love your content Scalespeeder

why are the zombies walking dead slow n different ?

I literally have to buy a special pack. That’s almost $100 to play Day Z like can’t they just put the stuff in the game

The gloomy, eastern-European look and atmosphere of Arma 2, and the ambient sounds makes Arma 2: mods so much better than both Arma 3 and Standalone. It is impossible to not like the Epoch mod, which, by, the way, had an awesome update as late as earlier this year with 1.0.7.1 Epoch. New servers are coming up still and new scripts are being added by creative people. Arma 3 feels like a holiday in Greece and SA will never be a finished game. Looks pretty good but feels empty compared to Arma 2 and has some of the worst and dumbest features in gaming history. Arma 2 mods are the original and best and everyone should just go back to them now. :)

Thanks. Love DayZ and will reinstall Arma 2 again!

Awesome video thank you!

anyone can help which one i should reinstall..arma 2 or arma 3? thanks

Hwo do you get it in full screen

imagine releasing a promotional video for a game on the day when the successor to the successor is introduced.. 😁 just a joke - arma 2 is great 👍😀

Why does he (apparently a Brit) pronounce it Day Zee? Be better than Murica and make it Zed. ;) Always found ArmA 2 so much more interesting and fitting for a MilSim title, just the proper look and feel for the setting and not a Mediterranean sightseeing tour in Greece. The DayZ garbage was already the first obvious signs of retardation and mongrelization of the playerbase, just like Altis Life with its "roleplaying" crap. And didn't ArmA 2 invent the Battle Royale genre already or was that 3? I remember squads closing in on ever smaller areas with the ability to buy stuff beforehand like in Counter Strike. OR were these "domination" servers? Can't remember anymore.

Arma 2 OA with JSRS sound mod and Blastcore is way better than Arma 3. I can't stand Arma 3's ugly muzzle flash and also lack of smoke when shooting

Arma 2 is for when you can't play Arma 3
