Thread unlocked. I don't want to see anyone posting anything like;

"I paid for Arma 2 for nothing, what a waste. Give me DayZ for free!"

You bought a game for a free mod, that was the decision you made. By the time the standalone is released, you will have 2 games (Arma 2, DayZ) for less than the price of Skyrim.

People who fail to heed this warning will receive one.

Oh My God!

Excellent news, I hope they do put a good price on it too $60-80.
This will keep the idiots and hackers away.

This is fantastic news for Dayz.

There's a lot of community questions incoming I'm sure!

Engine? Will it be ARMA 3's?

Amazing news!  Cannot wait for more updates.  Hopefully some more details come soon!

DayZ will have exponentially more potential now that is is being built as a standalone game I am extremely excited to see what Rocket and the BI Team can do.

Congrats guys. Fantastic news. I have a 3 week break between semesters starting on the 17th, If you could go ahead and release by then, that'd be great.

That would be amazing if you got a limited edition like item or something, or a gun color for having both arma 2 combined ops and dayz before it came out.

Great News on the stand alone Project,
Just wanted to ask what this means for the mod, Will the Mod stop receiving support after the 1.7.3 patch ?

[Chutney]

Nice, after reading up on the changes in the AMRA 3 engine this should be sweet.
