Listen up, bro. Im playin' this mod about 7 days already, im veteran of ArmA 2, and what I can say its game where you must feel like a soldier. This is not game for casuals, its really hard on start, but you will be satisfied when you get some nice items / weapons. Good towns will be for you Elektro and Cherno, ye its pretty dangerous, but you can easly get food, weapons here. In Cherno there are 2 military tents so nice weapons can spawn there. Just good luck to you and have fun, you should get some friends to play with.
