I ended up joining the Planet F8L server and I'll probably end up staying there and making it my main. Looking forward to exploring more and building up a solid base. Ghostfall or anyone else who joins this server and would like to team up let me know (my in-game name currently is "Kevin".. I'm tying to figure out how to change that lol)! I'm a new player and looking for a little interaction and teamwork!

Thanks for this! Quick question(s): are you able to lock any of these items so that you can only take the items stored inside if you enter a key code? I noticed in the video you were entering a Key Code but I assumed that was only to remove the item. Also, are these structures destructible by other players?

Base Building :P I know it's not a feature available in all servers but based on the limited amount of videos currently out there it looks awesome!

there are private servers in just the DayZ mod that have base building? I love this feature so I won't have to go to the DayZ origin mod to enjoy it??

I just got DayZ 2 days ago and have spent little time in it. Is the Origins mod difficult for noobs? I really like the idea of player housing which is why I'm thinking of starting to play the Origins mod, I'm just not sure if it is a good idea for someone who doesn't really know the game yet.

How about DayZ Origins? Anyone have experience with that mod? Is it noob friendly or should I stick with DayZ for awhile and learn the ropes? Origins seems like less of a game to solo in as well.

I was in the same situation as you a few days ago... I decided to buy Arma 2 and OA just so I can play DayZ.. SOO gald I did. Having a great time with it so far. It helped that Arma 2 Combined Operations was on sale too :)

Thanks everyone! Last night I jumped into the game and as many have mentioned, died A LOT. I was actually only killed by players twice - once when I was running from zombies and I was followed into a barn and then killed while I was unarmed. The second time I was rummaging around a hanger I believe and was killed out of no where (probably a sniper). I'm slowly learning the controls but I know this is going to take awhile. My biggest question now is how do I choose a (good) server? I went into 3 different ones last night - the thing that confused me was each time I started with different items. I think as a new solo player I want to choose a server with a low population, less chance for pvp. Another question is do I keep the same character if I change servers? And if so, do they stay in the same spot on the new server? Finally, how do I set up a camp? Do I need to find a tent as loot? Again, thanks for all the help!

Hello! I'm new to the forums and new to this game and I have a question. Is this game playable/can it be enjoyable solo? To be honest, I have never played Arma 2 and am relatively new to pc gaming (just build my first rig in December). I LOVE The Walking Dead and in looking for some new games to play I came across this one and to me it screams TWD. I read that the stand-alone game is coming out this summer but I need something to play now, so before I spend $25 USD to buy Arma 2: Combined Operations I'm looking for some advice! I don't have any rl friends that play this game and from what I have read so far you can't really trust anyone in game so would this game be enjoyable to a solo noob like me? Is there a huge learning curve to go through? And finally, how do I find a good sever to play on? I have been reading these forums a bit so I kind of know what to expect, but any guidance would be appreciated!!
