Prepare for waaaarrrrr!!

So the Steam summer sale has come and although I haven't seen ARMA 2 on sale yet (also since the servers are down) I know it will be available within the next 2 weeks.

However, we all know this means we might be getting a new batch of new players. So lets populate a list of tips relevent to 1.7.2 so that hopefully some of the brainier ones will know how to deal with the ARMA 2 engine.

also if someone asks in game we can just direct them to this thread.

Aeon's tips

1) You will die, get over it and get back in there.

2) Trust noone. But that doesn't mean kill everyone you see. Just make sure that they don't see you if you choose to make contact.

3) Scroll wheel is your friend. Use it for everything

4) G access' your gear menu. Use this to pick up stuff (can also be done through scroll wheel)

5) Back packs don't directly increase your inventory. You need to double click them in the gear menu to open them.

6) If you can't pick up a backpack try picking up the junk around it, then mouse wheel to take backpack.

7) Get off the coast ASAP, you may need to stay there until you get a sense of the map, but once you understand where some places are start moving your ass inland or you will die (you'll still probably die inland but the chances are greatly reduced)

8) Zombies have super vision right now, your best bet is to move quickly and GTFO of their Line of Sight (LoS).

9) Yes there's someone in Cherno/Elektro/NWAF/Starry. No they are not friendly.

It is on sale actually. I saw Combined Ops in the #1 spot on top sellers at $23something. Also Operation Arrowhead was futher down the list and also on sale. Store page also just melted I think. It is dead.
