learn to crawl, and use the sight/hearing sensor wisely also white dots in the edges of your screen are zombies if you see 50 million of them, theres 50million of em.

After you get used to zombie aggro mechanics and learn what buildings you can enter, the only real threat is death by other people. Scavenging in places with a lot of people, like Cherno or Elektro, will eventually lead to a meeting with someone else. Some people will announce that they're friendly, but most shoot on sight. After one too many deaths by bandit, I tend to shoot first now too.

Same here. It seems like EVERYONE just shoots on sight now so I don't even bother talking. I'll just shoot on sight or run/hide.

Try being around Sober/NW Airfield. This place is a fucking cluster fuck of fuckery duckery. So much fun tho.

**kuronosan** · 2012-07-09 13:42

Hmmmm, worth dropping money on?

**Odon** · 2012-07-09 15:45

Yes buy it.

**The Blackrose** · 2012-07-09 21:52

Haven't been able to get on a single server today. Shit sucks.

Krye sent me this

When I logged in after the update it freshly respawned me as if I had died. Not a huge deal just something too look out for. The one problem I'm having now though is aggro seems so messed up now. Is anyone else having this issue? Zombies will seriously come sprinting at me full speed from like 3 miles away when I'm not even moving or i'll be crawling at the slowest speed. The thing thats weird about it is sometimes it will be a zombie super far away that actually a lot farther out than other zombies so he'll run right through a few more to get to me. Anyone else having this or know whats causing it?

**Kaisha** · 2012-07-10 00:07

Given the crap I had to deal with the 'last' big crazed alpha game/mod, Minecraft, I think I'll just sit around and wait this one out until it's either much farther in development, or its own stand-alone release.

Looks cool, but also looks real rough. Curious if it'll end up being more than a flavour of the month title. Is crazy though how many copies of Arma2 it's been selling. It hasn't dropped from the top-10 on Steam ever since it exploded from those couple youtube videos that showed off gameplay.

Finally got to play around a bit. Spawned on the east coast. Made my way to Por, picked up a Revolver and some supplies there. Started making my way towards a military installation. Skirted around Elektro and got to Cherno. Was going to stop by the hospital but ran into 3 people instead. Tried to negotiate, they got cocky. Geeked two of them, got dropped by the 3rd. Good times.

Really want to pick this up after watching the videos, but has the lag improved since the OPs videos? A little disappointed to see so much lag, but really want to play this game

Degenxerate · 2012-07-12 14:34

I think some of the lag is fixed I started playing after most of those videos came out and never really lag. The choppy zombie animations still exist though but its not bad. Right now Arma II is actually on sale because the steam summer sale is going on so it might not be a bad time to pick it up! :D

The last update did mess with some things though so I'm having to get used to the game all over again. It doesn't seem quite as beginner friendly right now as it did over the weekend before that update hit.

**Siya** · 2012-07-12 14:43

Yeah I saw it on sale which is why i'm thinking of jumping into it, got 2-3 friends who are also interested it in and telling them it's on sale as well

seems like a lot of fun

**TacoTaru** · 2012-07-12 14:50

I'm a little confused and at work so I can't watch the videos. Is this a campaign mod or something that I could play with a buddy or is this a dumped in a sandbox, survive as best as you can thing? The PvE not the PvP stuff.

**Siya** · 2012-07-12 15:11

As far as I can tell it's more of a dumped in a sandbox survive the best you can kinda thing (haven't played it yet)

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-07-12 15:24

You wake up on a beach in a sandbox world forced to survive in Chernarus against the environment, players, and zombies all at the same time. Some people may be cool with you, then kill you for something.

Even got it's own wiki page now

I was looting a place, freshly spawned, with no weapon yet when I met two other people. One was weaponless like me, the other had an ax. We all declared friendly in direct chat, and I walked in a building. I came out and heard the guy with the ax saying, "Why are you staying away for? No reason to be afraid, just because I have an ax. JUST KIDDING, DIE MOTHERFUCKER."

He then proceeded to chase us both around Benny Hill style. I managed to live and get away, but that's the risk you take when dealing with ax murderers.

**BadKarma** · 2012-07-12 17:14

I found an ax once and couldnt pick it up
