rUafraid, you beat me by half a second and lol @ we both used Kamenka! :D lol, I spawned in Kamenka like 20 times to start off. It's embedded in my head.

When you start a game with a new character, or connect to a server/game, it'll display this message on the bottom right. It will say: "Chernarus Kamenka" The "Chernarus" doesn't matter, since that's the area "Kamenka" matters. That means you spawned on the far southwest border. You will only spawn on the border next to the water, so find a map and keep track of your location. There's also town signs and stuff if you happen to run into them. Here's a map btw: http://www.arma2.com/arma-2-chernarus/map-of-chernarus_en.html

Was a bad idea to convince your friend to play with the backwards-system currently implemented. Unless you want to waste 3+ hours spawning, respawning, changing servers, trying to close the distance, etc. only to spend half that time playing, then yeah, it's possible, but not worth it in the slightest. For a game perfect to play with friends, they made sure to make it as difficult as possible to achieve that goal.
