Only on my second ever spawn did I manage to find a weapon - a crow bar (LOL) and even that was basically useless since zombies may as well be speedlings on creep. Can't imagine how long you need to play this game in order to find any decent weapons (at least a pistol haha). Love the atmosphere and the music, very apocalyptic and fitting. You'll get used to where to look for weapons :D. I'm having the same problems on Lingor but I'm loving having a fresh place to explore. Really do hope people continue to add dayz maps and that Rocket encourages it. Lingor is looking good I might try that out soon. I would really just like Rocket adds more to chernarus. Helicopters have forced people to hit the industrial areas a bit more. I think up north has kinda gone dead ATM. If they could merge chernarus with lingor with some kind of piece of land or something connecting it. That would really make thing interesting I think. Map would be WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY to big then, you would have to play 100 man servers to actually run into people. What is the biggest Arma 2 map anyway?
In area i think the largest map is PMC Desert at 2600 sqKM (Over 11 times larger then Chernarus).

Even though you know the keys your still gonna flip it cause reflexes don't give a fuck what keys the tilt and the throttle are at when something goes wrong. You don't have to change anything. Practicing for 20 minutes in the armory is generally enough to get around.
Landing is easy, scroll wheel -> auto hover on -> wait to balance out, hold Z until 10 m, tap Q a bit to slow descent, press Z some more until landed.

I was practising using the ARMA 2 armoury, not the OA one and it was fucking solid. Pretty sure I saw a picture showing how to set it up like BF3 controls, I'll probably just do that since I'm so used to it.

So I've killed like a half dozen animals.
No meat.
Pigs, goats, cows. Doesn't matter.
What the fuck!

Or you could land it manually so that you aren't a really easy target when landing.

Happened to me once as well just the other day. I had like 2k blood so I was passing out constantly and every animal I came across would not give me meat. It was extremely frustrating.

I was in a similar situation once, except the animals would disappear a few seconds after being killed :S

PS: Still looking for a sniper if anyone has a spare one or if someone wants to trade it off with my M4a1 CCO sd. (will keep it if some nice guy could give some SD mags as well! :D) im asking too much i know but im too afraid of people from the official forums who said they could give me one 
Why not just kill a sniper at Dobrryy or Elektro or Cherno. High pop at the normal spots profit. You need a sniper rifle that bad?

I found a truck! It was full of things, and I wish I had a better pack. Also tents are so picky on where they want to erect.

Thanx Spartacus for the trade

WTB Camo Paint/Net for blindingly white pickup truck.
It's like trying to hide a casino from Vegas in the Black Forest

Just shift-crouch-walk backwards whilst spamming 'Pitch Tent', they go up as soon as is possible.

To the person who laid down the barbwire in front of the barracks doors at the NWAF... Fuck you.
(That is, if a TL'er did it)

(That is, if a TL'er did it) You can still get in to check it. You just have to risk ghosting across into the building on another server in one of the most heavily sniped location on the map
