yeah DayZ commander is what I use it's really easy to find servers you want

easiest way to team up with people is if you know them outside of the game and you can arrange to play together and trust each other

sounds great though, maybe if a few friends wanted to get on and have some fun without risk of hackers etc and complete control over the server.

Just be careful when moving, like don't run unless you have to. It's a good idea to crouch-run most of the time, and if you are heading into an area with zombies (especially in daylight) go prone, it will save your life. If you get alerted by a sudden noise or movement you should get ready to attack and drop down prone if you can. It is good to play on servers where it is night time or low light because it makes it so much easier to avoid zombies. Don't use your flashlight unless it is an emergency, that thing is a bandit-beacon. If you are shooting anything stay calm and don't waste ammo. Speaking of ammo, remember if you reload with a few bullets left you will eventually go back to that mag and that could mean trouble (it also takes up an inventory spot so you should try to empty mags). If you find a hatchet you should be able to handle any lone zombie fairly easily. A way I lose zombies if I have to run is to try and lose them between buildings and when I am out of sight I go prone and stay silent. If you see a player it is probably best to stay hidden and let them pass unless you badly need some supplies. Chernogorsk and Elektrozadovsk (aka Cherno and Elektro) are frequently visited areas and should be avoided since you have a high chance of getting shot. If strange stuff is happening like mass deaths or teleporting you should disconnect from the server incase it's a hacker. sorry for the wall of text but that's just some tips that can help, good luck :)

that's an awesome tool! You can spectate suspected hackers and catch them red handed and perm them before they knew what hit them. Only problem would be admin abuse but as long as admins are kept in check it would be a good thing.

I got an M4 CCO with a few stanags, I guess I could trade for fal with ammo ofc. Or maybe something else depends what you got I guess :P

First confirmed kill was about 20 minutes ago :P it was half "if I dont shoot him he could shoot me" and half screw this guy I want his stuff haha. I can't remember what town I was in but I was inside a house prone in one of the rooms, because I knew someone was running around. I only had some supplies, M1911, revolver in my bag (for a friend) and some ammo. Anyway I waited for a couple mins and sure enough a I hear footsteps in the house. The adrenaline gets pumping and a bit later he came into the room I was in. I took aim for his head and just as I popped him in 1 shot I saw he had written Friendly in chat, poor bugger. He had a ghillie on and he had the best coyote bag, bunch of cooked meat, M4A1 CCO with some ammo, NVG, Rangefinder, most if not all equipment like GPS map matches etc, some medical supplies and another revolver and ammo. I'm convinced he was a hacker since he had all that nice gear but he also had a radio that he either spawned or picked up. Oh well, mine now :P he timed out shortly after I killed him too, idk why maybe he force quit the game. A friend of mine on the server said there were hackers teleporting people shortly after I killed the guy so I quit after I took everything.
