Well last night it all made sense.
Joined a 'Noobs Play Ground' server, ran around for about 2 hours getting thoroughly dejected. Found an Enfield, with no ammo. Found a Winchester, and dropped it by accident. Found a 191, with no ammo.
Then I wandered into a farm, wow. Tractor!!!! Also found another Enfield with some ammo.
Decided to drive to the airport in the bottom left as I needed human contact and hadn't seen anyone in 2 hours. (50 ppl in the server!!) following Frankies advice I came to the north, parked up the tractor and when I wandered around I found a dirt bike!! Drove it up a mountain and hid it. Then wandered down to overlook and have a peek around.
Saw a few people, nowhere near enough to shoot at with an Enfield and no scope. Sat there for 20mins or so. Then saw a guy possibly 100-150m to my right getting down a ladder from a radio tower. Decided to have a pop.
Missed. *shock*
He fired back so I rolled to my right and back a few meters. Straight into a tent! Christ knows how I missed it first time round but half in a tree a nice tent. Surely it's empty??
Wrong! Stacked full of guns and gear! DMR, 2x M4's, M16, M24 + loads of gear. There were an increasing amount of shots close by so I grabbed a Ghille and DMR + 7 mags. I set a bear trap outside the tent as a thank you, ran to my bike and got the f
k outta there!!
Was server reset time so I got to the mountain near Cherno and logged out. Only problem being that in my excitment I totally forgot about food/water. Was on flashing water for about 5 mins. Hope to Christ when I log back in I can find water ASAP! Will be mighty fked off if I die now!
I now get this game. 8 hours in 3 days. 7 hours of bks followed by an hour of stealing and running about like a loony, such good fun.
Have started downloading ARMA 3 as I fancy trying Altis life (again after Frankie videos!)

Right, well. After a week. I've gone back to standalone. Been playing it with Nobatron.
I must say its getting a little tedious. Its a weird one, I'm starting to wonder what the point of it all is. After a week, I've got the hang of it and I can gear up pretty quickly, know roughly where I am etc.
A few times now though I get a gun, I get all my gear and then spend the entire time hunting for food or trying to get warm. Twice now I've died from hypothermia when I've not been wet even... extremely frustrating. Yesterday I was completely geared up (military clothes, AKM etc) and Died of cold literally 10 seconds before Rob arrived with a fire pit. Gutted.
Im spending my entire game time hunting for food or clothes. I understand the idea of the game is to survive. I get that, I like it but I want to explore, I want to find things but constantly being on the brink of death is boring.
Do different servers have a different amount of gear? I get the server reset thing, but I've hunted most of the places (although not a chopper crash site) but only ever found Mosin, shotgun's, pistols and some .22 stuff. Once I found an AKM but that was dropped by another player (as it had 1 bullet in the chamber but no clip etc).
The mod seems to have loads more guns?? Am I just in the wrong server?
