MOLITHAL

Hi, it's my first post and i specifically created an account just to recommend this: I watched loads of videos before deciding to buy the ARMA 2 collection so i can play the game (and you always spawned with a pistol). Once i was in i found it odd that i spawned with no weapon and then i found out people were spawning with their pistols and killing the first person they saw with a primary weapon to save time so they took it out (noooo!). WELL, this can easily be resolved by allowing only those with zero murders to spawn with a pistol. As soon as you commit a murder you no longer spawn with a pistol. Problem solved! This will also give you an incentive to never murder anyone. As it stands i spend the first hour trying to find a gun only to get shot by a bandit, at which point i respawn and sigh that i have no weapon and repeat the same process of trying to find a weapon again (only to be shot again). It's very hard for a new player to get into the groove of the game when you can't find friendly people to play with or a gun :(

Or do what BF3 does, you are invincible until you MOVE, then you are vulnerable but at least the game knows you have control of the player now.

You get shot on sight... it's hard to not be seen when you need to go into hotspots that everyone is watching...

People will find ways around this, they'll just run to the nearest zombie and get killed. This will take them far less than 10 minutes and they've achieved their goal of choosing a spawn point. Currently is there a friends system in the game? A way to add people, a way to spawn together? I know in real life i'd stick with my friends from the beginning so there should be a system of joining a new server and choosing to begin together with your friend/s that you can select prior to spawning. Much like a party system in a typical FPS game.

Murders reset upon death? Had no idea as i've never murdered anyone. I assumed your murder count stuck to your account much like selecting whether it's a male or female. Is there a stats screen/page for your account? To see how many zombies/people you've killed, how many attempts you've made etc etc etc. But seriously, murders reset upon death? That's even more reason for people to kill on sight seeing as all will be forgiven once they restart. Why not be branded a murderer? Not necessarily on the new character you made but somehow associated with your account. That's a big incentive not to kill innocent people.

Why are people so fking evil and selfish? What ever happened to common courtesy? It is to your advantage to stick together, give each other supplies, protect each other and if one gets shot quickly revive the other than it is to be greedy. I've yet to find a single armed person who isn't hostile. I'm YELLING at them over voice chat to stop shooting and that i'm friendly as i RUN AWAY and they still are trying to shoot me? You'd think these people could identify a threat, a man running away not fighting back isn't your enemy. Paranoid retards.
