Just bought Arma 2 because i've been hearing alot of good things about this mod. I played it for a couple hours last night and fell in love, it's awesome. I love that it's so unforgiving and I understand why you can't choose a spawn point or join servers as a group, I even prefer it that way, I think it suits the brutal setting of the game quite well. While I was having fun attempting to locate my friend, it was quite a struggle and we both died multiple times. Does anyone have any tips for locating your friends? I have never played Arma and so neither of us are familiar with the map. I suggested to my friend that we find a copy of the Arma map and try and work out where each of us spawn based on land marks and make our way from there. If thats the only way, thats awesome. But I thought I would ask and see if anyone has a different way, or could provide some tips for locating them and actually surviving the journey to them. So far i've been trying to skirt around any major towns I come across, occasionally scouting the odd building after a few minutes of watching and waiting for any sign of movement. I'm generally looking for a starting weapon or anything of that nature, are there any specific places I should be looking immediately after spawning? Also, If I do happen to find myself running from a horde of bloodthirsty zombies, what is the best way to lose them ? Last night I must have been running for about 5 minutes untill I finally gave up and let them kill me. They just do not give up. I suppose just any general tips would be helpful. I read the new player guide, but I feel I have some questions that weren't covered in the thread I read. Thanks,
