its tricky to get the mod running and join a server (for a novice) , but i sussed iteventually its an equally difficult interface to get used to, i still cant seem to speak to anyone unless they are next to me, the group, vehicle channels dont seem to have anyone in that replies, i must be doing somthing wrong ? the broken bones are a pain, i crawled around for hours looking for a cure in the shape of some morphine. never did find it....... itd be nice to start with a pistol, is there servers that do this ? is there any servers out there that cater for noobs and have friendly people on them ? i saw one person in the flesh, once, in abotu 10 hours of play. he axed me to death when my back was turned its a shame because i like the concept, enough to have bought arma 2 just to play dayz, but i cant seem to learn much about it, and i feel frustrated that i cant find anyone, on any server, who will help me. part of it is not really understanding the arma2 chat interface i guess, the rest is down to the sheer size of the maps maybe, and then theres the fact that people just want the few bits you do pick up and kill you lol if anyone does have the time id love to learn how to play it a bit better and even get hold of a gun to blast a few zombies anyway, my name is john im 44 and live in the UK hi to all and what a great mod this is
