I bought Arma 2 yesterday and am still learning the ropes. I manage to successfully join 1 in every 10 servers. So once I'm in the odds of me finding a gun are another 1 in 10. A few minutes ago I just died after my most successful start. I started by a big town, no idea which one. By I was sprinting through it from house to house, losing zombies, finding stuff. I happened on a pistol and a lee enfield. Lots of ammo for both. I find binoculars, a tent, and even a map. So I thought, I better get the hell out of here before this ends sour. I sprint out of town and no zombies in sight. I was planning to find a quiet place to setup a tent, but first I wanted to look through the map. So as I am looking through the map I hear zombies flood past about 20m away. I only saw heads fly over some tall grass. They weren't after me, so I knew another player was nearby. I use my binoculars to see another player with a hatchet with a trail of five zombies behind him. Being the new player that has spent much of the last 24 hours in the same situation I think .... I wish someone with a gun would have come and saved me. So I follow the horde to a house where they are running circles and mow them all down with my makarov. The guy says "friend" and I'm like, oh yeah, first succesfull nonhostile interaction. Then I realize I have no idea how to type back to him. So I'm pressing random keys hoping to get a /say prompt with no luck. The guy is still standing there and type "\" which now I am wondering if it means something? Anyway, he isn't trying to hack me a new one so I go into options to try and find which button to use to talk to him, only to realize he is now hacking me a new one. Not really sure what to think about that situation. All my interactions with players have immediately resulted in hostilities on their part. Even when I'm wonded, legs broken, they will kill me asap. My friends and I have not had a succesful interaction short of my brief one stated above that ender bad. Our plan now is once we are well situated to not actively become bandits (as in not seek out people to kill) but definately murder any players we see that approach us. Is there some type of etiquete we are missing or are people mostly douche bags?

And I'm out. The community for this game sucks. Friends are all out too. This game is just made for ultimate griefers. It is in no way an apoc sim.

Tried multiple IP's. Did not work for me.

I have to agree. It seems more like online noobness than a strategy to kill people needlessly. Devoid of realism. Most people in games have never shot a real gun before. I have to say the community as a whole has a major disappointment. Combined with pouring tons of hours/days into a character only to have it blown away by an bug or exploit...as opposed to you fucking up.

This this guy was chasing me. I had a glock with a full 17 round mag. He had a lee enfield. I position myself in a corn and wait for him to come up after me. He jolts up the ladder and stands there for 2 second. I unload about 10 rounds into his gut. He then turns to face me and shoots me once, I instantly die. He doesn't die. Is this the case of an exploit or an admin giving himself invincibility or what?
