Obvious virgin is obvious.

As mentioned, literally impossible to get started now, especially for new players... The aggro distance is absolutely ridiculous, you'd have thought they'd of learned from 1.7.1 I think it was, when they fucked up the audability? My experiences so far.. Joined server, male/female screen... Lost all my shit. Got started, died like 3 times just trying to find a weapon, as unless they're facing away it's literally impossible to do anything. Got a lee enfield, m1911, alice pack, loads of food and a double barrel shotgun for my friend, disconnected to switch to their server so I could meet them, lost all my stuff, male/female screen again. So, so far, BROKEN.

Dog fight, is jets/planes at war in the air, you're just being idiots and shooting other survivors fro the sheer hell of it, you failed anyway, GG.

I agree with this, it's perfectly possible to carry a pistol in your holster, and a rifle/shotgun over each shoulder.

Me with an AKM with 8 mags or so, M1911 with 5 mags(Easy to find M1911/.45ACP), all the tools possible to find(Except rangefinder and NVG), 3 blood bags, 2 morphine, 2 painkillers, 2 epi pens, 3 water bottles and a tonne of meat and canned food. Then 2 friends with M16A2s with M1911s and a tonne of the same stuff as me, we're pretty well geared for SURVIVAL...

Oh and yeah, rate of fire, you can let off around 2-3 M1911 shot in the space of one revolver shot.

I've rode a bike IRL with a pretty badly busted ankle(Used to ride BMX, broke 5 bones in 7 places), it was after 5 weeks or so but it is still possible. And as stated, IRL you can pedal with one leg.

M1911. It ain't as loud as the revolver. 1 Shot 1 Kill. More rounds in a mag than in a revolver clip. Ammo is really easy to find, remember that you can pick up .45ACP, right click it and convert it to M1911 mags.

The M16A2 is AMAZING at range if you can get good with the iron sights, though if you're more likely to be staying around citys/towns, grab the AK, full auto mode, higher rate of fire. Though I'd personally grab an AKM, I've had the chance to get 2 M16s and I also had a DMR in my pack, but I ditched them all as I love the AKM both IRL and In-game, the sights are really nice to use, it has zeroing(Make sure to zero in for 100 when around citys/towns, 200 when around woodland, 300 if you're making your way across fields etc(Max effective range is around 300 anyway, so don't bother going higher) The ammo is easy to find too, and it's deadly at both range and close up, just don't be an idiot and try shoot players at like 250 metres in full auto....

Nty, I have to tell my mates to hold up enough times because I need a shit/piss IRL.

Ain't actually checked out the AO inventory yet, as I only really started playing Arma when I decided to play DayZ, however with how you've explained it, it does sound alot better than the original ArmA 2 inventory system. +1

There is 'medical' zombies, we bumped into a few in Cherno last night whilst looting hospital, they were dropping bandages and what not. UMP45? Good idea, but personally we need more bolt action/semi-auto rifles that ain't military grade, I found that once I had an AK47/M4 I was un-stoppable in Cherno. a .22LR really wouldn't do much damage and wouldn't be a very worth addition personaly, maybe a .223, as far as I know you can use 5.56 rounds in them, so could use stanag rounds to combine for it. Loot is fine as is. Yeah man, running around the cities with a Tacticool as f**k M4 in a post apocolyptic eastern european country... No.

Go play some Minecraft... The game is a 'realistic' zombie survival game, not a horror movie as stated.

Laughed my arse off at pistol ammo airdrop.

I've noticed that almost every suggestion on the forums gets shot down by other players just because they themselves don't like the idea, stop being selfish and think about what others want not just yourself.. But yeah, spawning with matches sounds a pretty good idea, or atleast make them spawn more, I often have trouble finding them(Yes, I am searching supermarkets etc) and the only times I easily find them is by killing and looting other players. Matches are sought after however as you need them to make fire, to cook food, of which you gain from hunting..
