The spawning is somewhat random, new players always spawn on the coast I believe. But the coast is pretty big :p So you won't find eachother right away, but that's part of the fun really. Once you find eachother you can stay grouped forever (provided you don't actually shoot eachother accidentally at first contact), it saves your character on a central server so any sever you log in to will have you spawn where you last logged out. This also means you need to be careful where you decide to log out, doing it in the middle of a street in a big city is probably not a good idea.

Many people play with friends and don't trust 'outsiders', since every player is a potential PKer. People with a lot of PKs do get a different skin, so they're easy to recognise and often shoot on sight. (But over time they lose the skin again if they don't commit regular PKs) There's direct comm, to (voice) chat with your surroundings, often making first encounters easier to manage (by the time you've typed 'friendly?' you can be dead) but it's buggy in this patch, being fixed real soon however.

Zombie and loot spawns are somewhat randomised too, though you will find much better gear in cities, military compounds, etc. There's also vehicles, you can fix cars, even find a rare helicopter, boats, etc. There's tents to save extra gear in, bigger backpacks (you often have to make choices on what to take with you, you'll generally find more than you can take) to find and you need to eat and drink on a regular basis or you can die. (You have a water bottle you can refill, you can kill cows and cook their meat, etc

if anyone spots any good deals or sales on ARMA+expansion,let us know!

[skaffa]

Looks pretty awsm to play with people you know on vent and work as a team. But whats the goal once you have some ammo weapons supplies etc. Running around to a village and killing all zombies with 1 shot is likely to become boring.

[smurfORnot]

some of you will probably die to bandits,lol
when you have juicy stuff,you become juicy target for others,hehe

[skaffa]

I would prolly rob or ambush other players.

this game seems pretty nice actually. think il buy it.

[Dnicee]

Its great, you will not regret buying it. They need more servers though. All servers seems to be full almost all the time afaik.

Anyway, once we have a group going and have all weapons and ammo etc and are bored with killing zeds I guess we will hunt other groups?

[LeoPhone]

Awesome mod .

Survived like 6 hours now. Was REALLY close to dying several times but I teamed up with some guys and finally found a knife for hunting so I could heal.

I was chased out of a town by 2 bandits when almost dying from blood-loss, accidentally aggroed a massive horde from a big town and now I hunt in the wilderness to store food in a tent. Loyts of stuff happen in this mod, very exciting.

I watched a video of some guy getting mugged in a Road flare at night. and he complied... he dropped his Rifle then tried to rambo with his pistol. I'd have just tried to cap the guy in the face with the rifle when they first appraoched me threatening.

[AmPM]

Going to download tonight and start playing. Where are you in the game world Sach?

[EIRRMod]

I thought it was ArmA: Combined Operations?

*shrug*

[brn4meplz]

All their forum says is Arrowhead. Combined operations is both the Original and the Expansion.

Arma2 has a F2P component but someone says it doesnt support user made mods.

I had a really fun run today. I ended up getting injured in a gunfight with roughly 3000 blood left, so I decided I had to scavenge enough food to get me back up to 12000.

I worked hard, and didn't find much. I had a hunting knife but no matches to make a fire to cook it. So I ran around for 30 minutes or so in a usually high traffic area trying to find prey. Nobody came, until finaly a noob moved in to loot a army tent. I normally dont kill people with only makarovs if they are no threat to me, but do to the circumstances, I decided I had to break my rule. I set up and waited for him to get in a position within 20 meters. Then all of sudden this other noob comes with his makarov, and they both decide to team up.

My luck, I thought, how shitty is that to have to finaly find prey, and then for another threat to come up and ruin my ambush.

I had a clean shot on both of them, but I was at roughly 80 meters and they were behind cover. I didnt want to kill one just for the other to run away and halt my attempts at looting his new buddy.

So I took a risk, I jogged over to some sandbags and got into prone. There they were, 15 meters away, good spot. There were two of them but I had to take the risk.

I put my AK74 on single shot and shot 3 rounds towards his chest. It ripped him open and he fell down unconcious. I shot another 2 rounds into the grass where he was laying to make sure he's dead. The other guy was alerted and began to advance to my position gun up and ready, I roll over and pop 6 rounds into his chest, he too fell down. I popped another few rounds into him to ensure he wasn't just in prone. Then I move on to ensure the first target was dead.

Then all of sudden POP POP POP, the guy I first shot was somehow shooting back! I was amazed and fired 2 rounds back into him. But then POP POP POP and I was wounded.

I wonder, what the fuck is going on? They are both dead! Then I realize I may have made a grave mistake. I have been flanked by another bandit!

POP POP POP, I rush back behind my sandbag and attempt to figure where exactly my enemy was. I realize he was shooting from the railroad only 20 meters away, but I just couldn't see him. I sit back behind my sandbag for a second then see that he is advancing towards me in prone position in the thick grass. I fire 4 rounds of my AK to him but I kept missing. It was incredibly hard to see him through the thick grass. Then BAM I got him right in the head. A satisfiying kill message is recieved in chat.

I proceed to loot the bodies and take some matches so I may finally cook my own food. A huge success.

So, in summery form, I attempted to do a risky ambush with low health against two guys and ended up getting flanked by a third side. 2v1v1. And I won. Tactical excellence and patience is key to being being on top of everyone else. But then again having a big gun really helps.
