thirdfloornorth 2 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I bought ARMA II on the Steam sale, after drooling for over a month over Youtube videos of the mod. Here is a chronicle of my journey thusfar.===============Day0: I spawned on the beach. Shipwreck survivor, airplane crash, amnesia patient after the apocalypse, I'm unsure. Regardless, after doing a little research, I set out.I was on the western side of Cherno, creeping and crawling around. I spent most of the day scooting on my tummy away from zombies too far away to even notice me, too scared to do any more. I had no idea what buildings were enterable, how to tell, anything. I never found a weapon, eventually found a can of coke and some painkillers, counted myself lucky.Day1: I eventually manned up enough to head into Cherno proper... kinda. I stayed as much on the coastline as I could, scooted slowly through the very outskirts into town. Was still pissed I hadn't found a proper weapon yet.I eventually tummy-wormed my way towards a church I saw in the distance, after more than a few close calls with the Infected. White walls, golden domes, hard to miss and I just KNEW I'd find something worthwhile in there.SUCCESS! M1911 Pistol, 3 clips of ammo, a MAP! and a COMPASS! A CAMO OUTFIT! I was fucking set! I picked up a load of shotgun shells and some extra bandages, just in case, Set out to the west, northwest, having pulled up an exterior map of Deer Stand locations, heading towards one on the outskirts of Bor, then three on the other side. Found very little, ammo I didn't need, scraps, and a bunch of nothing.Decided to continue to head northwest, towards Zelenogorsk, hitting another Deer Stand on the way. Bam! AK and one clip of ammo! Headed a little to the northeast, finding what looked like a steel Deer Stand with no loot spawn, stopping there for the night.Day2: Was starting to show orange in the hunger icon, saw on a Wiki that Zelenogorsk had an easily accesible outskirts grocery store. Still really scared of infected, but starving, decided to head that way, to the northwest slightly. Set off, sticking to woods at a decent sprint with some periods of crouch-running.Hit the outskirts of Zelenogorsk, zombies EVERYWHERE on the outskirts. God damn, for a small town, were there ever a lot of zombies milling around in sight from my nearby hill. Looked like someone had announced a liquidation sale on brain pudding.Slowly crawled, in prone, towards Zelenogorks over the better part of an hour. After skirting zombie after zombie with more than a few close calls, made it into the supermarket. EMPTY, front and back, just empty, and the three back doors, glass front, one front door were all making me nervous as hell. My hunger icon had started flashing red by this point, and I decided to break decorum...I server jumped. Empty. Empty. Empty, but barricaded with wire by some player. Empty. DAMN!Starving, I slowly made my way a little further into town. Still had no idea how to tell if a building was enterable, other than the transparent windows, but after so many unenterable buildings were passed I started to tell myself "Surely... that window COULD be transparent, maybe I just can't tell!" as I crept from unenterable house to unenterable house.Eventually, my luck ran out, and I caught the attention of a lurcher with a beret and a hopping priest zombie. I lost my shit, ran full force through the town, catching 5-8 zombies in my wake. Well fuck. I made it out of town, having lost all but 3, and propped myself against a rock, pulled my AK in a panic, and fired at them as they came. Spent a 300 round magazine killing 3 zombies. Don't laugh, you've been there too.I had taken some damage, was bleeding and down to 5,000 health or so. The report of my weapon had drawn attention from another zombie on the outskirts however, and I didn't have time to bandage myself. I switched to my pistol, drawing a bead on him as he came in. Unwilling to waste ammo or risk drawing more attention, I waited until he was too close, not knowing what my low blood level meant if I got hit...He hit me once, and before I got a shot off... fell unconcious, as he slowly gorged himself on my sweetmeats. I was a long-pork buffet, shouting obscenities in abject fear and frustration until I died. I'll admit, I ragequit.==============Had much, much better luck today after growing some balls and heading into Cherno proper. Story to follow!

I also felt spiffy with my map and compass, was scared of loosing them. I freaked a little, ok? :P Edited August 4, 2012 by thirdfloornorth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
