Where were these people when I was running from zombies through Elektro?

The first time not so much, he was kinda trying to leave. The second shot was more than justified. I would've shot the moment he started crawling for ya.

Actually it's pretty easy to meet up. We don't know the map at all, had one guy who was even looking at the map, and with half an hour all four of us are traveling together.

Banditry is dead. This much I can agree with. The people who are left aren't even bandits anymore. You can't spend more than ten seconds on these forums without hearing a story about how somebody killed somebody purely for fun or just because they were bored. People say they're bandits when in all actuality they're raiders, just murdering other players for fun. Which I can see how somebody would enjoy the pvp element of the game.

My hero ;)

But in single player your computer has to keep track of everything. In multiplayer the server does it.

No choppers at the moment? My friend just found a functional one a week ago and another friend just saw one fly over head not even twenty minutes ago.

Some guy rode past me on a bike yesterday, and I was pretty amazed at seeing my first bike until I saw the crowd of infected right behind him. Still, if I said I wasn't laughing while I was running i'd be lying.

They're buggy for some. Like me. Had to locate my friend whose legs were broken on a night server, I could equip my flashlight but not use it so he had to guide me in using his. His flashlight was red for me and regularly (colored?) for him.

Kamyshovo? If i remember correctly, and I think I do, keep heading up the road from your position and there should be a place where the road crosses some train tracks. One you cross the tracks with the road follow where the road would go if it kept heading straight instead of turning and go over the hill. You'll be near the Elektro power station/ fire station. The hospital i've found has plenty of food and soda, currently looking for morphien though.

I have no idea where else to ask this so.... Would I be able to find morphine in medical boxes? And more importantly, are there any medical boxes in Elektro's hospital?

Not to be that guy, but i'm going to completely be that guy. I can't find any medical boxes in Elektro. Do they have to respawn or something? Once they're completely looted do they just disappear? And before anybody else asks I checked the Wiki before I even made this thread. The page on medical boxes wasn't even two full sentences long. I need morphine for a friend of mine and all I can find are painkillers, bandages, and heatpacks all over the ground. No medical boxes whatsoever.

It does help actually. I've gone through the elektro hospital multiple times and I guess I must've ran right past the boxes. I need morphine for a friend of mine who broke his legs so i'll get right on that, thanks guys.

So... you rage that somebody killed you on sight, and decide that the best way to deal with it is to shoot everybody else on sight. In other words you really can't complain anymore if somebody shoots you no matter what the reason.

Why should players and zombies be the only creatures allowed to attack players? I want to see somebody hunting a poor boar when suddenly the boar pulls a 180 and feasts on the plyaer's head. A man with a crossbow stalks a poor, innocent doe, when mama deer bucks him across the face, splintering his crossbow as her little doelettes crowd around and fight over his intestines! In DayZ people feel like everything is going to kill them, but now they'll really feel like everything is going to kill them.

My friend and I had finally managed to find a server that worked for the both of us. We managed to even get on the same dirt road and I was to wait for him at my position since he had a map. I turn around to see someone sprinting towards me full tilt, and I open my mouth to greet what I assumed was my friend. The words died on my lips as I spotted the pack of zombies behind him. There were around twenty of them, and all I could think of was "Who is this idiot" as I turned to run. Armed with only a hatchet there wasn't enough time to put it away and (presumably) run faster. I turned to run and saw the survivor sprint past me. I immediately turned off to the right hoping the zombies were locked onto him. They were. Only two stopped to attack me, but they seemed to be seized by indecision. To my dismay the survivor quickly realized the ravenous horde was still in hot pursuit, and he appeared to be unarmed. He made a sharp circle to bring the horde back around to face me again. I veered off to the left the moment he reached me, and vaulted a nearby fence. He caught the movement and brought the horde around again. Sighing in resignation I realized I wasn't getting out of this without a fight so I hit Caps Lock and told him we were going to fight them together. I readied my hatchet as he ran at me and as I buried it into the first guy's head (hatchet headkills count as headshots) the next twenty seconds morphed into the most confusing blur of my life. Zombies were everywhere, swarming all over the ground, all over me,and all over the survivor. I watched as my kill count went from two to four, from four to ten, from ten to fifteen, and from fifteen to seventeen. I was taking hits from the infected all over my body, and finally with a little under 3,000 health left I found myself falling to the ground, dead. As I fell I watched the survivor perish by my side. I was kind of sad at that moment, but pretty impressed that I had managed to take out so many zombies on my third survival attempt with only a hatchet. And then I got up. I was already informing my friend that I had died and we'd have to meet up somewhere else (tragically he also minutes away from being murdered as he tried to help two shmucks nearby) when my character got up. With just under 3000 health. My mind was blown for about one second, before it kicked into overdrive. With a screen mostly devoid of color and my vision fading in and out every other second, I dispatched the remaining zombies with my hatchet, killing them all without taking another hit. Bewildered as I was my character once again lost consciousness after I hastily applied a bandage. When he regained consciousness or whatever that was I limped over to a pond I had discovered moments before, and satisfied my newfound thirst and refilled my water bottle again. My character refused to focus, vision fading. None of the horde I had slaughtered had food on them, although I did find a can of coke. After scavenging the corpses and fainting once more I continued up road towards some buildings I had seen before. At this point I learned that wandering with a melee weapon while unable to see clearly, and unable to see at all for more than ten feet in front of you really changed how little you would be willing to risk yourself. Without being able to avoid any zombies I was forced to cut my way through every zombie I blundered into until I finally arrived at the town. At this point I was forced to leave as I had somewhere to be, but upon my return I was completely out of whatever zone my mind had locked into before.Two zombies flanked me from either side, along with a crawler, and after what felt like half a dozen missed swings, I fell to the ground, dead.

You can use Operation Arrowhead with Arma 2 free and it will work, at least for now. That's what i've been doing. Supposedly you'll miss out on a few destroyed vehicle textures but none that i've seen.
