He probably didn't have any rounds or not equiped. I use a rifle with no bullets all the time to try to rob people...who also just combat log. I find decent loot in the airfields all the time despite being the first stop people go by the coast. There are a lot of dead bandits with awesome loot there so why the hell not!

-Controls feel off compared to Arma 2 as well as Arma 3. Free look seems way too fast but I am adjusting to it. -Melee combat is complete crap. I don't mind that it takes more than one bash to kill them like in Breaking Point for Arma 3 which was 1-2 hit kills...but it is clunky as well. -I have no comments on weapon combat as there is a lack of items due to spawns only on server reset. -Zombies walk right through doorways...which is highly annoying. I think they should be able to open doors or else it would be too easy to avoid them in towns...but walking through walls is just silly. -Drinking - I am unable to fill empty water bottles at wells but am able to sip out of the well. I can drink out of some ponds/streams but others do not give me the option. After drinking water I am thirsty again within a few seconds. -Food - I get too hungry too fast. I also wish there was some wildlife you could hunt, cook, and eat. Not an excessive amount but a treat if you come across them. - 0% food items lying around. It should just disappear once you are done eating it. Cans make sense to have an item left behind but fruit is kind of silly.

I live in Chicago, so I am looking for a group of players who prefer being survivors rather than merciless bandits. I've played DayZ for Arma 2, Wasteland Mod, Breaking Point for Arma 3, and play on tactical servers for Arma 3 currently. I prefer players who communicate via TS or Skype if a smaller group. Add me on Steam if you are interested: Tulkor is my SN

The only viable weapon I have found is an axe. I have found rifles with no bullets and bullets with no guns. The melee combat system is very clunky as it is hard to determine if my hits are actually landing on the zombies. Rarely, I can take them out in one hit. I see little puffs of red but it is hard to tell if that is them hitting me or vice versa. It can take awhile before a zombie goes down for good. It is unbearable fighting in first person as the zombie movement is so clunky and somewhat laggy. Out of curiosity, how many hits does it take all of you to bring the beasts down? Do you have any tips or are you experiencing similar issues. I finally found a day server btw! West coast.

What zombies? I've only seen 2 so far...and that was only on one server out of the 5 I have checked out.

I think there should be control presets similar to Arma 3 which gives you the option of default controls from Arma 2 or the new ones from Arma 3. I am now used to Arma 3 controls and would like some presets instead of manually going through and setting them. I can do it myself but I am lazy ^_^

The good: -Steady framerate (given no zombies present) -Plenty of servers -No connection issues or crashes as of yet The Bad: -I've seen zero zombies (but I have heard zombie noises..GHOSTS!!!) -Barely any loot - It seems that loot only resets when the server does. The only thing I seem to find is clothing, hammers/axes, rotten fruit) - Eating food is complicated. It leaves my fruit at 100% which leads me to believe it is not working despite hearing the eating sounds. -There are no day servers during the nighttime when I play - The night looks really crappy right now. There are flickering textures and the quality just looks ugly unless a flashlight is on. Maybe Arma 3 spoiled me?

Very good point. Situational awareness is down heavily in 1st person mode. Sure you can look around but if you are not looking you are often clueless to what is going on outside of your vision. Trust me...I would love to play in 1st person more and I do sometimes. However, I tend to notice framerate drops more so when in 1st person than 3rd. Luckily on servers that only allow 1st person...everyone is at the same disadvantage.

I like having a choice. Join a server that doesn't allow it. I like 3rd person when running the distance because I will get dizzy in 1st person.

Or just have it so each time you log off you are moved to a nearby location when you log in...That way you cannot log off in combat and log back in and shoot the guy. It should not be the other side of the map but just far enough away to make you not want to log off and ghost.

This mod is naturally a little bit laggier than the actual Arma II game. Some people can play just fine and others have issues. I myself get similar framerates and no graphical setting in game changes it oddly enough.

Anti-aliasing and shadows generally suck up a lot of resources...but I have turned my graphics down and still get a fairly low frame-rate. It is playable but lower than what I am used to.

I have a small group of friends I play with and thus trust. I highly suggest playing with people you know than randoms. Some people will be your friend until you stumble upon a nice item. I learned to trust no one outside of my group and we generally kill any other player that is approaching us. We do not go out of our way to kill someone for the sake of killing them. In a situation where it isn't risky we tell them to abort or die. If the game was simply the players versus the zombies...it would be cake. The PvP actually gives the world a more believable post-apocalyptic setting where there is complete anarchy. I was annoyed at first by getting killed. At the time I just assumed everyone just fought zombies. I learned the hard way.
