I know how you feel man. I'm new to this game as well. Don't let the bandits get you down. No matter how many times I get killed by them they will never break me to joining the dark side. That's the easy way out in this game. I'm not a hero but rather a survivor. I help those in need if I can but now I'm just going to have to learn to weigh my odds better ie: is it worth me losing my life to save yours. I am one of those poeple who are fully kitted out but mean absolutely no harm unless provoked or feel threatened. Not everyone who carries a gun is a cold-blooded murderer. The other day I had spawned in the NEAF as that's where me and my buddies last logged off at 3am and I forgot since last time I played where I logged off at. Well I log in, spawn and then quickly realize where I'm at lol so I start booking it outta there! Soon to realize I really should try and get some more ammo for my M4 while I'm in the area. Against my gut telling me to move on, I head back and that's where I made the mistake. I begin looting and run into a friendly guy who is having trouble speaking english with me. I offer him some food, drink or anything he might need. As soon as I do that I see the barracks door open and we get murdered. Our killer didn't say a word (they never do). They just shoot you, grab your gear that isn't damaged and move on. Like a souless zombie that isn't quite a zombie yet. The only bad part about dying this time was that I had two walkies for my buddies and I had the maps. I can only hope it all got damaged when I got shot. I learned a valuable lesson or two that day. 1. Never drop your guard. 2. Try not to help people at a hostile kill zone like the military bases or airfields. 3. Direct chat can get you killed.
