A lot of that has to do with the phase the game is in. Remember, the M4 is basically a stand-in for several military weapons that will be added. The spawn counts won't likely increase with these new weapons, so matching ammo to weapons will be much tougher. The same goes for a fair amount of the other military hardware (vests, helmets, gas masks, etc.)... there will be more variety added to those spawns as the game moves forward and the volume of military gear will thin out. Plus they're going to add more players per server, straining that supply even more. As always... it's an alpha, which is by definition broken. It's been getting better and will keep heading that way. If it's too easy for you right now, intentionally avoid gearing up completely. Another thing to remember is this game's pedigree... it's built on a military FPS, and the original mod was played almost exclusively by fans of military simulation, at least at the beginning. It's going to have a strong military flavor. The other game elements will hopefully help balance this out.

I have experienced many of the same things. I logged into a server when they came back up, fresh spawn. Played for an hour, logged off. That server was pinging too high when I came back, so I moved to a new server... new spawn. I figured the table reset again, so no big deal... played another hour. Started getting attacked by invisible zombies, so I fled, then logged out. Try a third server, and it's yet another respawn. I log off that server immediately, and jump on the first server I had been on. My first character loaded, but I got a coding error for some beret (not in my inventory). Then the server dumped me for an authentication error. Now, at the main screen of the game it shows me with nothing. If I were a gambling man, I would say the loot tables went sideways and the playerstate data cannot be added to the hive. Each instance is specific to the server you played on, until the tables are squared away. I would assume anything you've done to this point will be wiped again at least once tonight as they iron out the bugs.

Brief walks on the beach and beautiful vistas, which can be enjoyed for nearly half a minute at a time (before the snipers get their range dialed in). There are cults who run around pantsless hatcheting each other and everyone else they see, 9 year old sadists who will giggle uncontrollably as they force feed you poisonous substances, and the occasional wild eyed psycho who might hold you hostage (with a burlap sack over your head) just long enough for someone else to witness your death. I mean, all kind of basic FPS stuff.
