I do know how to use tents and I have the game pretty well figured out in my last couple days of playing it, with that said I haven't found a tent... and then the other thing is finding a good server because that tent will only last in that server... so.

Yes, I realize it's a game. Yes, I realize you have infinite lives. I also realize it's pretty easy to reobtain things. The repetitiveness is what gets tiring. Where is the replay value in that? I'd like to see some replay value in this game, is all. When you've got all the stuff you need, there needs to be something more to obtain to keep you interested other than... hmmm, bored, might as well shoot other people. The game has a little something, but not much, in repairing that huey or car or what ever other vehicle you find. As mentioned, I'd like to see some additions like creating your own outpost or something... A "building" feature is definitely needed in a game such as this. Sure, it has that with the barbed wire and tank traps but they are ineffective for the most part. I hope the game is on the right track in those aspects... in the end there will always be stupid people. I'm not much of a PC Gamer, but I got this game because again I love the concept. For those player killers, maybe they sucked at Arma 2 so they come here instead? I don't know.

I wouldn't say that PVP is not necessary in the game, but in it's current state I think it's pretty pointless. There is NOTHING in the game worth shooting someone over. If you were capable of making your own little outpost then I'd say yes... shoot to kill. To just sit someplace, and wait for someone to come by just to shoot them? That's just moronic. I can't tell anyone how to play a game, everyone is going to play it differently... but I haven't and won't shoot anyone. For those who say... "Don't die" "Don't get attached to your gear" ... well, thanks for your posts but they aren't needed. The obvious thing is to not die, so I can do without that... and the whole purpose of this game is to collect better and better stuff to help you survive. Invest hours upon hours of doing so just to have someone take that all away (and he probably already had what I had, if not more) just because? Isn't there some better game they could go play that specializes in that sorta thing? Just because the feature is there doesn't mean we have to use it. I can see if I had a helicopter and was with a group, and another group REALLY wanted that helicopter... and a firefight ensued... but this? Nah.. just stupidity at its finest.

To be honest that was probably my best run as far as being alive was. I got lucky and found a ghillie suit, knife, axe, matches, rifle, pistol, water bottles, map, compass, watch, etc right from the bat. First thing I did when I got all that was head into the forest to the north away from the coastal cities where all the morons play. I had the essentials to survive, all I wanted was to find a larger pack so I can hold more stuff. Like I said, I try to play in servers that have like 10 people or less. I figure my odds increase, but sadly no matter what I do I always find an idiot. This one was using a silenced sniper rifle, and I heard one shot... the one that killed me. I was crawling to avoid zombies and entering the airfield hanger, and that was the end of that. I might try finding a group to play through here, that might makes things a little better or else I can't see me continuing this merry-go-round of looting... dead... looting... dead. I've sat on rooftops in the major cities and have seen people moving around. I've had numerous chances to just kill people, but that's not fun to me. There's on any given time 1000-30000 people playing the game through like 1000-3000 servers, but no matter what people will always shoot for no reason other than "hmm... lemme see if you have something I don't have." I'd rather be robbed of my goods than just shot. Oh well.

I realize not everyone is going to get along, but it's not like an attempt was even made. People just kill regardless. Not presenting a threat, they just shoot. It's just silly, and the point of my thread is to say that... There is next to no replay value to this game. You collect, collect, collect.. You're doing good, you need a few things that you go and try to scout out for and you die. Guess what? Gotta start all over again. It is an endless cycle that becomes tedious and eventually boring. There should be PVP designated areas or something.
