Sorry, but I am a newbie to this game. Never played the mod. Only read a bit about it. Bought the SA and started playing on wednesday. Found some things..bud died a few times. Two Zombies and one player killed me in a supermarket (guess he needed my flashlight...) Ok - good next try. Wednesday evening wasnt unable to connect then the new patch and wipe. Thursday...started at coast - went to Msta und then further northwest to the military camp. Found everything I needed on the way. Food, drinks, backpack, helmet, melee weapons etc. Then I reached the military camp. Found guns, ammo, a bigger backpack, better gear...was on my way to the hospital northwest of the camp and then a another player - good stuff I think, one shot and I was dead. Hm ok....was very angry...four hours running and equipment was gone - shit...I hate this guy, but...who cares I am learning....made a break for half an hour..started at coast again at Balota and went to the airfield there. Found nothing, only a guy camoing in the building and he killed me (guess he needed my pants, cause he shitted in his own waiting for other players...) ok...nex try...went to another camp north...found a gun, found helmet and backpack on the way...drink, food....and then I saw another player....he turned around raised his gun and he shot...but now...I was prepared. Prone shot kill. My time. So what? Learn how to play and look for the items...and if you get killed by a zombie or another player leran how to run or to kill them. I am NOT a veteran, but I found a map to find my way, found everything I needed to survive. Maybe I will be killed today again - but who cares? I like the coast to respawn :-) Nice beach. See you ingame! :-)
