After I got Arma II and DayZ both installed and running, (minor problems, but this is an alpha. I'm not complaining.) I was wandering around for about 45 minutes. (45 minutes on my first spawn, I know. I did my reading.) During this wandering, I spent almost all of my time crawling, only coming to a crouch or standing to either look around, or inside a building I had made sure was clear. I found 2 bundles of loot, consisting of 4 tin cans and 2 empty whiskey bottles. I saw no one, but I was stopping dead still at every new noise I heard, only moving after I made sure I was the one making it. When I finally decided to give up, it's not because I was tired of not finding a gun in my first loot spot. It wasn't because I had been killed, and think the game is too hard. It was because my heart was rocketing along at roughly 100 bpm, and I chose to log off and wait until my roommate was here playing as well. This game is well made, and it's a better rush than any survival horror game out there. I love it, even after only 45 minutes. Edit: I booted it back up again, and, 15 minutes later, I'm dead. Turned out I spawned just outside Elektro... Big shiny building, carefully move to loot, big fat bullet in my head. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Wow, this game is hard on your heart. Nothing makes me jump quite like low-crawling across a field toward a barn, then hearing a new noise. Stopping just to figure out that the noise was me on some new terrain...
