Got on last night but only for 30 mins and the server restarted so will have more luck tonight hopefully. Managed to kill 3 people in cherno though within 5 minutes and upgrade from an ak74-su? to an m4a3 cco smile (Shoot on sight until i am in a group and serving a purpose!)

I was making my way (blindly) towards a marker on the map with "downed chopper" on it but couldn't find it for love or money

Got to say this game looks fantastic but also daunting to learn. But Arma2:CO is for sale for £14.99 at https://store.bistudio.com/arma2-combined-operatio... so... it's a good sounding deal! Methinks I'll get it!

Its tough!

Had a few goes this afternoon, but every house, building and city is brimming with Zombies and even crawling I've not been able to actually get a weapon to defend myself!

It has been made very tough to get started on. I would advise just heading into one of the main cities and then loot until you find a gun. As soon as you do, get out and head north. Also, make sure that you evaluate all situations. Don't just shoot at people as you never know what is waiting in reserve. We had 10 guys running around today. 2 would raid an te rest would post up outside the town ready to come and help out.

From what I've read, until you have something, you can be very gung-ho and not fear death as you have nothing to lose. The guys with ghillie suits and sniper rifles are the ones that are most scared of death.

Get a hatchet as soon as you can. You can kill Zombies quickly and quietly. Stay out of the main cites until you have a rifle of some sort. There was a sniper over looking the firestation at Electro and there we about 10 dead new players frown

I did a few lone wolf raids on the northern airfields early this morning in the hilux and added a few weapons (even though we have them already) in the back of the trucks. I have also acquired an ATV from someone who hid it in a tree just north of our camp position and marked it on the map!! (moron haha!)
Not far from camp there is another downed huey which i will show you guys when i am next on! Thanks for the night vision too. Helped massively doing the runs smile I saved all the vehicles/tents upon logging also.

hopefully be on later.

I'm going to try and get some quality time on this later.

I speant last night updating the beta and then either being held on a loading screen or spawning in the middle of nowhere. Was a tad frustrating.

Sounds like you guys have got some good gear. Do you ever come down around Cherno? I need a pickup ideally from the northern side as every time I have tried to make a move out I have had a lot of rounds come my way. People are constantly looting the place and in over watch. I don't want to die with my M4A1 CCO and other gear though!

Fine, I bit the bullet, I bought Arma2:CO... about 30 minutes until OA is downloaded, then I'll download the other bit of the "CO" package. Might be all installed and ready to go by 8pm, hah. And then it'll be too dark tongue out

My first estimate was based on my download continuing at 2500KB/s, not the current 550KB/s it's doing, heh. God knows how long it'll actually be now.

Hey,

This looks good.

Am I correct in thinking I need this (Arma2 CO) and then the DayZ mod?
