This is what i read - http://www.mmogames.com/gamenews/5442/the-ultimate-dayz-beginners-guide/

Honestly though the first 2 weeks I started I looked at nothing... No online maps, no guides, no tutorials and it was honestly one of the BEST experiences I have had playing a video game. Give it a try first man... you will learn quick what the do's and dont's are... and after that. Read some guides to fill in the bits that you arent sure of.

Also it sounds stupid but i didnt even know I could open my backpack for the first week and a half so i was JUST using the inventory slots! Classic Fail!

Good idea to go through the basic training module of the single player OA campaign. Set your key map up there, rather than while online.

Arma engine is more complex than most fps, lots more buttons.

Practice with weapons in the armoury. There's a cheat to unlock them all; left shift and number pad minus, then type getallgear

Few nice intro scenarios too; being hunted, protect a location, shooting ranges.

Hope this helps,

AC
