thank you all, didn't know about the glitching in the walls and under buildings. I will try keeping more space between me and my mate, because since it was a mosin i'd rather think it was a sniper than someone in a wall because they would more likely use a m4 u guess... In this specific situation next time i go to ne airfield i try approaching "down the sniperhill", and hope i find a sniper with good gear :)

today dieing was really funny. i climbed up a deerstand and was happy to find a mp5sd6 with 3 mags :) i was so happy i didn't pay attention to my surrounding and when i climbed down the ladder, i got attacked and slayn by 2 (or more?) guys with axes :P wasn't even mad because of loosing my new weapon, it was just funny :) maybe they were allready infected ^^

since some people saying they have difficulties starting without a weapon i tried it myself. wasn't that hard, sneaked into balota airfield, got akm, left the place and had a nice life... so i wondered if they are maybe just not stealthy enough, so i tried straight running... i ran through whole cherno, headed toward balota airfield without being hit a single time. there i got into the tower, grabbed a m1014 and killed the zombies that made it up to my position. my person opinion is, that the second way is the most easiest because it seems zombies can't hit you, though they are faster than you are.. i'd suggest to make it more effective to stealth, than running with a horde of zombies till you find a weapon and blow them away...

best thing to get rid of zombies chasing you is running into a building through one door an leaving through another ^^ pretty braindamaged these zombies :P

if i really need food i go to a general store because there is nearly 100% chance to find some... other spots seem to spawn far less food, i think that might be an affect of "loot spawn balancing" some time before...

plenty of food spawns in general stores i found out...

voice or typing?

how can we communicate without side-channel? does direct communication work? nobody ever answers me on direct but shoot me :( so i don't know if it even works

nope it's not game over because they can't hit you while running... so just run around till you find a weapon and kill them, revolver, 1911, and shotguns work just fine because of one shot one kill :) i don't even try to sneak into a general store. i just run in, pulling about 7 zombies and once in i shot them. maye 10 more will come but they also have to die...

can't deal with them even if you have your starting-makarov...

my opinion is, it is quite unneccessary to start without a weapon because you can just run through all buildings you see, and by run i mean running with a big horde of zombies behind you. i repeatedly just ran through all the cities on the coast (like a newbie may do?) just having a quick look inside the buildings until i found a weapon and shot the remaining zombies behind me. fact is, that zombies often loose you when you enter a building and leave through another one... so there is really no need to be sam fisher in order to get the first weapon, just keep running, zombies can't reach you, even though they now have 2 meter arms :P

in the supermarkets i find lots of food... about 5-6 cans...

the only major bug i see is the spawning of hatchets etc causing server crash...

that's pretty much my question, especially nearly all german servers are not up to date. isn't there an auto-update function?

bandages can be found in normal loot spots, but far not as often as before...

nope, no food. played for 2 hours, then died because my character stood up while proneing over a stone on airfield and killed by zombies (but thats a arma2 feature i think so maybe my fault )... but good to test the new spawning without weapon, made my way to the airfield near the coast, equipped with ak-74 and 2 mags... but the 3 hours i've played today i haven't seen a single bean or soda or water...

ok, there really seems to be something wrong with food and drinks spawning... got where i yesterday found 5 cans of beans and 4 soda and today nothing. nothing either on nw airfield. just managed to get myself to a lake so i don't have to die... after that i shot some rabbit (lol) so i don't have to starve... after hordes of zombies spawning on me at a deer stand yesterday, nearly killing me, i seem to have become kind of a hunter...

just one question: the thing with constant spawning of zombies at the deer stands is a bug, not a feature right? hope so, because it is quite annoying.. don't know if anywhere else they are spawning like that, but it is really bad, if you want to loot a deer stand and expect 3 zeds and shooting 3 mp5 mags and killing 20 and then have to pullback...
