all is new, all is fresh (at least for me). It feels great to run on an island you don't know, it feels like DayZ again in the beginning. On the weekend I tried a Arma3 mod I did not know about.
I also own the DayZ Standalone but it lacks content and options for me, since I was more the 'stay in the woods', hunt and survive in a small wolf-pack kinda guy. DayZ finally pulled me in and I played the mod a lot. the modding capabilities and options to choose from were always great though. So, I've never been a big fan of Arma in general.
