[XeroK]

Nah, I'm a Steamfag, I praise Gaben, I buy all my games on Steam, or at least all the CDKeys I buy have to be activatable on Steam.

(and even if ArmA2 will be on sale in the summer: the links I posted are probably still cheaper than Steam when it's on sale.)

I tend to reinstall my gamepc's and servers alot so steam is also my main place for games (38 games on my account, 4 on the gameserveraccount, 16 on the misses's account)

When you spawn in 1.7.1.1: Run around the coast until you see some buildings or city signs. (or know the map).

Then check http://i.imgur.com/ZmQMJ.jpg to find a valuable place. Take your gun. Done.

The pistol is not necessary for survival. You can easily outrun zombies.

This game does not need cheats. I must admit I started to use cheats after 30 minutes of gameplay myself but it was too easy and destroyed the game for me. I am now playing legit and it is more fun (since some hours of fun by destroying the game for others is not fun anymore now).

Also if you have no idea, check out the tutorials at dayzwiki.com

Why did you quote that?

[Pozzuh]

Not your usual style.

[SuperNovaAO]

Yeah, usually I don't start playing 30 minutes legit. Just did here because I lost all my old ArmA 2 stuff and just wanted to see what the hype was about.

I was such a bad person yesterday. I was playng with a friend, we met up in chero, looted the entire city. He got a revolver with like 5 mags, I got a remmington shotgun with plenty of ammo.
Then we went to the supermarket and found 2 guys, they were nice to use, didn't kill us, didn't even threaten us. I asked my friends if we should kill them, he said no. I kept worrying, I thought they wanted to kill us. Then all of a sudden my friend is like "3...2...1..." meanwhile I'm screaming "NO NO NO NO". I hear a revolver shoot *oh god oh god oh god* the first guy dies, the second guy shoots me, legs broken, can't stand up. He runs inside, I'm screaming like a bitch to my friend. I die. SILENCE. My friend isn't saying anything, I ask what he's doing. He died. WHAT THE FUCK.
WE KILLED HIS FRIEND, WE BOTH DIED, HE GOT OUR STUFF. Well, karma evened out for him. I feel really bad though.
