I find myself strangley hypnotised by some of the vids for this, never been so enthralled by watching nothing happen the majority of the time.

Anyway, some dude is streaming now on twitch, roliing as part of an elite unit or something. 4 or 5 guys all with ghillie suits, NVG and silenced weapons moving from place to place in a truck.

This game is making me strongly consider getting a desktop.

So true. I watched a guy who kinda sucks play alone running around with pathetic weapons for the first couple days, then found an ex marine doing tactical ops with other marine friends. Went back to the original guy and its lol boring now.

Although I still cant stop.

So is it the game Arma2 that is demanding on your computer or the actual mod? I can run the demos just fine on my laptop, should I be okay to play the mod?

I still might wait for a Steam sale. People on the forums are saying that the big summer sale always starts on a Thursday and runs though the 4th of July, so were looking at a June 28th start date. No idea if this game will go on sale though, it seems to be selling just fine.

BADLY misjudged where i was in the game and ended up running to literally the most northwest corner of the map. took like 3 hours

came back down south east to the airfield, at this point i had a shotgun and a 1911...saw a guy being chased by zombies, waited until he killed all of them, i could hear he had a silenced M4....and then PEWPEWPEW with the shotty.

killed him ****ing good

of course that attracted the god damn horde - one of them got a hit on me and i couldn't apply my bandage, got me down to like 3,000 health before i was able to get bandaged and stop the bleeding. killed a few zombies.

went to loot the guy, he had:

silenced m4 rifle with 5 mags
silenced M9 (pistol) with 5 mags
night vision goggles
gps and a map

that's a win IMO.

turns out he had 2 night vision goggle sets, didn't even notice when i looted cause I was in such a rush. double score!

how's everyone else doing

?

I died a couple times, then wandered in the woods for a half hour, checked out a town with nothing living or dead walking around. couldn't find any weapons or control my creepin speed and then I felt dizzy so I logged out and played some scramble with friends.

Can you give me a few tips so I don't lose my mind.

Where to head when you spawn? Inland away from the coast?

Where do you find weapons?

How do you get around Zombies, or have them not notice you?

Does the ingame map work for you?

coast = noobs, inland = vets. For the most part. So do with that as you will.

crouch or crawl. try to be silent. Noise will attract them.

in buildings/deer stands or from killing other people.

yes and no. It is an accurate map of the area. it does not however show your location. You need to get a GPS for that I think.

You also have to find a map first.

Thanks.

What is a Deer stand btw.

Should I just avoid towns alltogether as they seem to be totally made up of houses that you can't get into.

Im at about 15 attempts now and still no gun with ammo, found a gun twice though at top of building but with no matching ammo, I mean cmon wtf.

What sort of building should I be looking for, and how can I go in and get loot when I have no weapon to kill Zombies that are there.

This starting with no weapon needs a good rethink imo.
