As a consumer, I bought this game after seeing playthroughs of it on YouTube where people started out with a pistol, and by all means it was still a pretty difficult game. I get pumped about it and buy ArmA and ArmA II solely for this mod (It's a 2009 shooter, they don't age very well). Then I get to patch 1.7.1 and I'm thinking: "What the hell? This product that I paid for was not the one that I recieved." I can understand why it was changed, and I know how to survive (albeit on a much shorter time scale) but... NOTHING? You start off with bandages and pills with a cheery "Good Luck!" as it tosses you into the world where a single zombie will get his buddies to gangbang you and a single hit can either have you gushing blood like a hemophiliac or break your bones like you have osteoporosis. SOMETHING, would be greatly appreciated.
