9)how do I use Microphone to people in my area? Switch to direct chat, and press and hold capslock (default) 10) can I holster my weapon so I don't keep throwing flares? Double tap Ctrl to lower your weapon, although i dont think it will stop you from throwing flares. 11) how come peek doesnt worrk in first person mode it does, but i believe you have to have a weapon first. 12) does Q and E make you look left and right in 3rd person mode (Numpad Enter)? As in, peek around corners? Then yes. 13) if your completely lost in a forest how do I determine which way to go to get out? Use a watch or compass, or set a waypoint on your map, otherwise just take a guess. If you're new try to get a compass or watch before you head out. 14) do I have to reload everytime I want to swing with hatchet? No, you have 99999 or so swings.

Think it has been mentioned before, main problem would be the animation since there is no such thing as being on fire in Arma 2, so it would have to be created completely.

1)If I dont die and log out of a server, can I log on to any server i want with my current character? Yep, if its the right version ofcourse. 2)If no, how do I find the current server I was playing on to play my same character? - 3)How do I go in 3rd person mode (doesnt say in controls options) Numpad Enter by default. 4)How do I use hatchet that says (can only cut trees down) to attack zombies? is that even possible? (makes no sense why I cant use a tree cutting hatchet as a weapon) Right click on your hatchet in your toolbelt and click remove from toolbelt, if you don't have a primary weapon, your axe will become your weapon. 5)Ive been almost walking for 1 hours through villages, how come pretty much EVERY door to a building is locked? Just design of Arma 2. 6) what are the odds of finding an open building? There are a number of buildings that are open, you will learn to recognize them soon enough. They always look the same. 7)Is there a way of determining which doors will open or are they normally already open? Same as 6. Houses are always open, barracks and firestation have doors that can be opened, Also little sheds and whatnot. But you will learn to recognize it. If a certain house is closed, every other house like that will be closed aswell, and vice versa. 8)Best way to evade zombies/lose them Go through houses, buildings, make sure there is anotehr exit, also forests with some dense bushes.

'' Tents disappear some days after you have died; you can make a new tent after your death or reclaim items from the existing one, however you cannot take it even if you own it. In 1.7 it tents will last as long as someone places/removes items once every 7 days.''

Its kinda the same idea has canteens for water, you are at water, but you dont have a canteen so you will die instead of drinking straight from the pond. I'm not going to die from starvation if i have a can of food but no can opener. I do think when eating cans you should be left with empty cans,

Might have an M69 frag somewhere if you're interested in the job anyways

My tent got a dinner fit for kings, my bag isnt that big, it should be happy with an AS50, thats all it will get.

Sigh, another AS50 gone, last time my tent ate it, along with alot of other stuff actually. This time my backpack is the bad guy.

Probably correct, not that you will ever see them anyways.

Probably nothing since they will be gone within 5 minutes and probably never seen again, if there are only 3 helicopters. There are plenty of vehicles and i havent seen any of those in the last month either.

I was just about to point this out, 20km seems abit far. I'd go for 5km or less, still have some of that immersion of not being connected to the entire world, being able to communicate with your surroundings but not so that everyone hears you.

If there were to be batteries in there you should also add them for the flashlight atleast, they should be pretty common and found in civilian areas. Sounds pretty cool indeed.

True. It will depend on the type of walkie talkie that we get and the options it has, to see wether or not it needs downsides.

In theory that works, but in reality i assume that its going to be abused.

Well its to be expected, its obvious that without the global/side chat there is something lacking ,you really cant communicate with other survivors anymore. So there has to be something that replaces it, and the main issue being the immersion, it has to be realistic, global chat obviously wasnt. Walkie talkies are realistic ofcourse, are they realistic in the current setting though? I'm not sure. i assume military locations would have them, perhaps the crashed humvees, military zombies in general. But perhaps its better to go for something more civilian as the baby monitors.

yeah it was posted earlier in this thread,.. walkie talkies, baby monitors.. mobile phones, doesnt matter to me. Aslong as it has a few basic properties and meets a few requirements its all good.

Seems a tad creepy and unnecessary, there is plenty of food and meat out there as it is.

Have heard about this before, it seems like an obvious solution, its kinda retarded that you cant wield a weapon with a flashlight, usually players avoid the really dark nights, but even if you do chose to play at night you're going to need a flashlight ( Or nvg ofc) , this leaves you vulnerable and chances of you luring zombies at night is probably alot higher since you probably wont see them coming. In my opinion this needs a solution, so i'm all for headlamps.

Spend 15 minutes sneaking up on a sniper at Elektro the other, only had a hatchet, he just had the full gear. Was at 30m when he grabs his binoculars, perfect chance for an assault, he hears me but still has to put away the binoculars, i hit a few times but he is losing connection ofcourse. Will keep an eye out for [sK] Andrew, you wus.

Once they are abit easier to shoot down, unless you're in a house, those zig zagging zombies are a pain to shoot, especially if you have to shoot them 4 times.

You can just abort, you dont need to use alt f4. Again today, i get shot the hell up by a sniper in Elektro 2 times, i manage to find his position and sneak upto him, i spend 15 minutes sneaking upto him since he is aware of his surroundings, all i have is an axe. At one point i see him grab his binoculars and realize he's going to need some time to get back to his weapon from there, i was at about 30m so i make a run for it, he tries to turns around but doesnt manage, i hit him once, twice, keep hitting him but nothing is happening. untill ofcourse i read the losing connection message. Yes thats you [sK} Andrew, dirty ape.

I guess you're not supposed to use the respawn button to chose your spawn but seriously, you will spawn at kamenka all the damn time, chances are that im not going to find a vehicle of any kind so i'm gonna have to walk everywhere, every day, every hour, step step step step step. I'm going to Cherno or Elektro anyways, i got an endless amount of km's ahead of me, i will respawn a few times so i can atleast start somewhere decent before i leave for my endless journey on foot.

By having normal brain functions.

Someone just left it there thinking it was safe.
