Welcome to Dayz. Zombies will randomly teleport around the screen, sometimes out of the floor. Firefights between players are typically both sides emptying their clips and then a quick 6 second silent discussion ensues between the offending parties deciding who "got" who before one player agrees to lie down and die. I must say, emptying a clip into someone and not seeing him flinch until quite a bit later, or running away from a firefight before exploding into a mess of bullet holes isn't exactly immersive gameplay. (42 ping, 0% packetloss) I love the ARMA II Engine.

I shot it from a hilltop and zombies from the town below bolted for me. Barely had enough time to run to the next town over, scramble up a barn and cry until I decided to discard it for its silent-er classier Winchester.

Eat beans. But really, unless you want to raid the 50 or so bean cans it will take for you to get up to good health you need to make an all-or-nothing dash into a hospital, grab an IV bloodpack, make for the hills and then make a friend who will IV drip you. If you don't have any friends and are as paranoid as me, a good way of doing this is offer them something in trade. I hid an Alice pack at the top of a lighthouse and agreed to tell the stranger who I wanted to top me up where the pack was once he had healed me and I was over the crest of the hill.
