M24 and M14 AIM for a MK with some mags?

I ran into a player, US 1244. I was moving through Elektro for supplies, and ran into a player at the inner city fire station. I called out friendly to him, and watched the area to see his reaction. I then proceeded up the stairs, and ran into him. He had a ghillie suit on, with his secondary out. I assumed he had no ammo for his primary, because normally a player running up to you, would mean it's the time to pull out the big gun. After trying to get him to speak on a mic, with no success... I decided to give him some supplies. Figuring his primary was out of ammunition, I gave him mine.. M14 AIM with 3 DMR mags, I also gave him 3 cooked meat, and a water bottle. Now, considering the player had the opportunity to shoot me in the head, take my Coyote Backpack, and the rest of my supplies.. But didn't, I figured it was actually a nice deed.

@Taltsi Not being on the "YOU ARE DEAD." Screen. :P

If he did shoot me, I would have just ran to one of my many coastal tents, geared up, and hunted him down. I'm not particularly worried about dying, I just play because of boredom.. So my primary, in the end, isn't too important to me :D.

Everyday I make a trip to Dobryy to see if any "Bandits" are lurking the hill. If I see somebody, I throw out the "Surprise Muthafucka!" from season one of Dexter and pop him in the head. :D

Although I do prefer the m24 to the CZ, if you have no other options for a sniper rifle, then the CZ is a great find. I currently carry a M24, and (M14 AIM, or FN FAL, depending on ammo availability for the FAL) for close quarters situations. I find the setup to work quite well.

I was taken over by a puppet master hacker on US1895 about 5 minutes ago.. He started shooting off my pistol rounds. The name I was taken over by is 'Jake'.

It was okay to shoot him in my mind.. A gun aimed at me, saying friendly, only seems like a chance to blow my head off. Seeing a player in general, I will try to avoid them.. For the most part I'm pretty nice about what I do.. If I'm in elektro, I sneak up from the west and snipe any snipers on the hill killing poor little noobs :D.

WARROCK. At least 5x worse. But today.. I did run into a hacker.. I spawned, and went into Elektro as I was right next to it.. Every building I could see was demolished, so I looked for some scattered loot. I found a Coyote bag, as50 LSW (Think that's hacked for sure) and a m9sd. After that I ran up to sniper hill and hid in the vast amount of fell trees. Apparently this hacker likes his explosives.. After laying up on the hill for a while, trying to get a grip on who was where and if I was safe.. This guy in a Ghillie suit teleports infront me.. "Badabing badaboom! Boom Boom! Badadadadalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabadadadadada." My first reaction was.. "WTF?" My second was the clicking to shoot. I killed him, and quickly logged off, ignoring his loot.

I've played the DayZ mod before, and didn't encounter this issue. I have the beta for Arma2 up to date, and the current DayZ update installed. I'm using DayZ Commander to launch the game (I also tried with PlaywithSix.) When I launch the game, everything goes fine. I click "Ok" to join the server and it starts the loading process. It says in the bottom left something similar to "Creating Character," and I head birds and the ocean for about 1 second, then it goes to a loading screen. It's all black, with no white bar, and no noise. I've looked all over the forums for a fix to this, and I've had Arma2 OA open for 15+minutes (Still currently open.) Anybody mind helping me with this issue?

Okay thanks, it would be much appreciated if you find a fix.
