It'd be cool to see medical camps with piles of bodies, overrun military outposts, roadblocks, random dead people (they wouldn't have to have any items, maybe just simple clothes) and stuff that adds to the story dayz tells.

Today, after hours of walking me and two of my friends finally met up on the coast outside of Berezino. We were just swapping food and ammo when we heard M4 shots and they both went down. I couldn't see our assailant so I legged it out of there, with bullets whizzing behind me. I made it out alive, but felt very guilty afterwards; should i have turned round, looked for him and shot him, risking certain death, or was it right to run? Do you folks think running away from a fight is ok? I mean, it's better than combat logging, right?

Wow! I didn't think this would spark such a debate! The problem was that i couldn't see the guy, and if I had turned around then he would have shot me. If I could see him I would have gone after him, but there was no point just standing there waiting for death. It was a moment of panic, flight or fight and i chose flight.

Zombies always seem to ruin my shoes and nothing else. What do they have against footwear? Oddly enough, i've had a zombie hit my damaged press vest, and instead of destroying it, the press vest became pristine. Maybe he broke it so much it went right back around to being fixed.

There's nary a man who returns unscathed from the edge of the map. They say death 'imself is waiting there on those endless barren plains

Yesterday, for the first time ever in dayz, I killed another player. (Normally I keep well away from everyone). Me and my friend were holed up in the hospital; we had heard shooting from outside and were hunkering down until it was safe. We thought the shots were coming for the roof, so we got up to the top floor and were preparing to storm out onto the roof, but before we had chance to even open the door, a guy in a clown mask came from behind us and killed my friend. I reacted just in time and emptied a full clip into his head. It was scary. Now that I've shared my story, I was wondering: can any of you guys remember the first time you killed a player? Please do share your experiences...

I preferred the unobtrusive green ui from the mod. In the SA my character constantly moaning "I'm hungry!" "I'm wet" "I'm thirsty!" "My arm hurts" kind of ruins immersion a bit

There tends to be a lot of people in the costal towns near Berezino. Roadrats travel up and down the road on their away to the cities and like picking off unsuspecting travelers.

Me and a friend had just finished looting stary sobor on a server with about 20 people. We hadn't run in to anyone so we were confident the area was safe. As we were walking out of stary, we saw a green plane, just sitting in a field. We went in for a closer look, but as soon as we got within 100 meters of the plane, someone started shooting us. We turned around and legged it. After running for about 10 minutes we stopped,, thinking we had lost the shooter. then we heard a low rumbling noise and a fighter jet (it must have been hacked in) flew overhead. I heard a gunshot, and told my friend not to shoot at the plane. "I didn't" he said. crap. We ran as fast as we could, heading for the woods. then the fighter jet came back and started bombing us. the bombs were exploding just behind us. We ran across a ploughed field and made it to the woods. there was no sign of the mystery shooter and the plane had gone. that is why dayz is my favourite game
