I too have been playing for about a week now and what I normally do is high tail it to the nearest city either Elektro or Cherno (once I get my bearings because I have yet to find a map or a GPS) and begin to creep around and loot the normal spots. Once I get a good pack and some food, water and a weapon, I head north. I'm not that paitent so once I get the gear I try to exfil as quick as possible which normally results with my death, but it's really fun having a group of zeds follow you and evading them in the city. Most of the time I'm playing at night because that's the only time I can play so once I get a melee weapon like the hatchet, I merc zeds that are in my way. Playing during the daytime is a bit more challenging because you have to use cover and, at least for me, I have to observe and crawl to get to my loot (if only there was stealth camo from MGS4!). Does anyone know of a better strategy for fast movement in cities and the coast or does everyone that resawns follow the same techniques of observation, crawling and cover??

I prefer LFing over being in a group any day because LWing you have pve and pvp while in a big group, it really turns to pvp. I wouldn't mind teaming up with a couple of people because watching for bandits and zeds are a lot easier. Bandits dont concern me as much but I have died maybe twice because of them, but that's cool though because I have to start all over again and use my evasive techniques I have learned from all the stealth games I have played over the years. But yeah lone wolfing it in the beginning is definitely the way to go

I'm looking forward to the SA, I just don't want to purchase Arma II: Combined Operation just to start playing it now then once the SA gets released, buy that one
