At last the wonderful zombie mod for the brilliant open world mdern shooter ArmA II has been re-released on Steam. It was taken down back in January follwing lots of complaints by the community that what was touted on the cover wasn't available in game (bunch of whiners as far as I'm concerned; especially as the mod was free) :)
You can check it out HERE. You will need the ArmA II: Combined Operations to play the mod. The combined Ops is a combination of the opriginal release armA II and the expansion ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead. You can get both of these games on Steam for £16.99. That's a grewat price considering both games cost me £60 when released. The game isn't on a deal at the moment. You may get some money off if its available via GreenManGaming ((steamworks version) as they usually have 20% off digital games.
You can find it HERE on GMG, but its not a steamworks version. That said you can still install the DayZ mod directly from the developer.
The ARMA 2: Combined Operations pack includes the award-winning ARMA 2 and the stand-alone expansion; ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead. Each game can be played seperately or you can combine the new features, weapons, units and vehicles of Operation Arrowhead into the original ARMA 2 for the ultimate military simulation experience.
