Also, I don't believe anyone learned the map without an online map. Maybe it didn't have dayz loot spawns on it but there have been online arms 2 maps for years. Having the loot spots marked is just a convenience. It would take no time at all to learn what buildings have loot providing you can FIND the buildings.

I respectfully disagree 100%. He already tried that it seems. The map is simply too large to run around blindly. First time I played this, like op, I ended up running through emptiness for what seemed like forever. Just hills and trees. I probably would have given up without SOME kind of guidance. Without an experienced player to show you around, or a map to go by, anyone just starting is going to be completely lost. Now I know there will be holier than thous saying that's just lazy, whatever. I've never seen a single streamer or youtuber that didn't use a map. I'm sure there are people who wouldn't mind running blind for hours possibly missing all of the 4-5 worthwhile spots to loot on the map, but its certainly not for everyone. Probably not for the op considering the thread we are playing in.

Edit: haha super lag post on my phone. everything pretty much covered already but ill just leave this here anyway Look up a loot map online. There's one I use but I forget the name as I have it bookmarked. its called dayz database or something. Just Google it. Pay attention when you spawn in, it will tell you approximately where you are on the lower right of your screen. Find that area on the map, and work out exactly where you are using geography and landmarks. Using the map, hit up high yield loot spots. Look for big barns, houses, deer stands, and military spawns. It should also have things like supermarkets and hospitals marked. The whole process is made easier with a 2nd computer monitor, and my favorite item in the game, the almighty compass.

"Come get bitch"? I don't get it, are you referring to yourself with that statement?

Not everyone is a nasty D bag

sounds like you are cold, or need pain killers. Have you been playing namalsk or been in the rain a lot? cold and you need a fire, heat packs, warm clothes, etc Have you taken any damage, from zombies, players, or environment? Need painkillers.

Doesn't yours say Helicopter Hunter? Maybe you're referring to something else..

I like the electric guitar riffs part sa feature plz

If you're looking for team based play without the zombies, try wasteland. YouTube some videos of it, sounds like exactly what you are looking for. It comes with operation arrowhead I believe, so you don't even need to download or install anything extra like you do with dayz.

The first three heli crashes I found in this game had JACK ALL for loot. One of them had three pistols lol. Then the fourth one I found had a m240 mod 0(think that's right, might be off on the 240 part), one of the rarer, more powerful, weapons in the game. Random is random ;)

This happened to a private hive I play on last week. Super annoying. I was knocked out for SEVENTEEN minutes lol. From side chat, it sounded like some were out even longer. Didn't sound like anyone got killed, so not the end of the world. Also only the second hacker I've seen in the month I've been playing.

no not rly

I bought CO a month ago for dayz, payed the full 30 WHOPPING dollars for it too. Don't regret that one bit. I really don't care when the sa comes out, as I'm having a ton of fun with the mod. When it does come out, ill do my best to be there opening day.

Yeah these guys sound like real losers. Bottom of the barrel scum. Cut your losses and forget about these shit heads.

They are how they should be. They have basic instincts, see human meat, run to it and bite. What else do you want them to do? Should we give them guns? To the guy who said he wants to be cornered and have to pull out his hatchet... don't be stupid, the hatchet is already the best item in the game to kill zombies.

No. The infected are an interesting mechanic, and add a lot to the game. That being said, don't try to make this into a one player zombie killing game. This isn't fking left 4 dead. Its a social/PvP game with zombies added for flavor.

Your sweet moustache is bending the fabrics of space and time

I suggest the map, a lot of the reasons being stated above. dual monitor if possible

Rofl if you meet in the middle it wouldn't take more than 10min, 15 at the very most

Hmm I think id also like to see that removed. Mainly because I never knew about it and have been navigating by comparing my surroundings to my map since I started lol I'm probably going to try it now though, as I know if they take it out I'm quite proficient at navigating the old fashioned way.

This is retarded. How is an invisible zombie supposed to fit into a "realistic" zombie apocalypse? I don't care how you try to spin it, stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I dont know how to check my FPS without the debug monitor, but I have a noticeable increase from doing this. Im no fps(first person shooter) pro, so I cant give any kind of estimation on what I gained, but it helped quite a bit. Im running one of those crappy prebuilt machines that has an integrated video card, so I have everything on low. I was still getting about 18-22 FPS the last time I had a debug monitor pop up for 10 minutes, but it was still pretty laggy. After doing this settings change everything seems a lot smoother, and I went around headshotting zombies with my pistol just cause I could. The aiming reticule moves around silky smooth and the zombies move like Ive never seen them move before. Also, when I zoom in on my cz50(something like that) scope I no longer have a ton of lag moving the scope around. I will be getting a graphics card in a couple weeks, along with a new PSU that I will need with it. The card should let me turn settings up so the game isnt so ugly, and combined with this little tweak hopefully I will have a brand new DayZ experience! Thanks!!! edit: I will definitely be turning this back to default when Im not playing DayZ. I used to love that windows 98 look but now I cant stand it after getting used to windows 7 lol
