I'm so confused

Recommended Posts

I started playing the game last night, and had loads of fun (and irritation) but I started playing again this morning and I am completely confused.

Now when I spawn, I spawn without a pistol and only a backpack and painkillers.

Whenever I get attacked by zombies, I always start bleeding on the first hit now.

I logged out, closed the game, then noticed that the arma symbol was still on the taskbar. I clicked it and it brought me back in game and said I was dead! wtf! I logged out! and closed the game.

It seems like most servers do not have chat. How do I know what servers do and don't have chat? I'm tired of waiting for a server to load just to realize it doesn't have chat and then quit.

None of the 1.7.1 has global chat

Well that's irritating... no global chat? So can you chat with people that are near you? Which channel do you use to do that? The direct communication?

Yes, direct comms. Also, remember to read the patch notes, it will save you some frustration.

I'm already quite frustrated... The new patch seems impossible unless you spawn near some good supplies. And that only happened once for me, at which point of course the game glitched out and I died for no reason...

Now I keep spawning near places with no supplies, no weapons... but plenty of tin cans. I see lots of players corpses, but because of the new patch having you spawn with close to nothing none of the corpses have anything on them...

Really disappointing. If only I hadn't died last night right before I logged off!

First, get to the tree line. From there, start scouting. Look for places that might contain loo, look for Z's, look for players. Then plan your route and SNEAK! Sneak, sneak. sneak! I cannot emphasize this enough.

This advice would be great if I could spawn... Now it just says waiting for character to create, even if I quit and retry multiple times.

yeah you just have to wait for a while, happens to me but i eventually get in,

Also spawning with no weapon is better now, seperates the COD FFA fags to the tatical gamers :)

No doubt 1.7.1 is the worst thing to ever happen to this game. I dont mind a challenge, but the way it is the game is unplayable... I wish I hadn't blown 30 dollars for arma just to play this Mod.
