I had ArmA II on my sight for a while now. However, it looks like its expansion, "Operation Arrowhead", is a standalone game. Does it means that it includes content from the original game? If so, is there a point in buying "Combined Operations", the package that includes both games, or will Operation Arrowhead be enough?

Being a standalone means that you don't need the original game to play it, not that it includes the base game contents. So, if you want to get the full experience you should get the Combined Operations pack.

Also, both games in the pack are required if you want to play the popular mod DayZ

I don't have enough points to comment on Kappei's answer, but just note that Day Z is going to come out as a completely separate standalone at some point in the (hopefully near) future, and owning Combined Ops pack isn't going to automatically get you a copy of that game - just noticing your original question and that you've had your sights on this game for a while might mean that you're possibly concerned about spending the money

Having said that, combined ops is on sale on steam at the moment, and it is well worth it even without Day Z in my opinion.
