I have the worst of luck in finding weapons in this game, seem to get everything except one

Finding weapons isn't that bad. Berenzio is a good place for some and the NE Air-Strip has some nice stuff as well.

Deerstands and farmhouses are good choices too if you don't fancy entering the big cities. The blocks of apartments there are usually good sources for pistols and ammo for long weapons, but rarely weapons themselves.

Besides that you named I would have to say I trust deer stands alot more. Sure there will be 2-4 zombies at a deer stand but I always feel that they are safer and more reliable than the block apartments.

About a week ago the zeds were seemingly blind, although it was dusk when I played, but I've just been on a server - I spawned just west of Kamenka and as I was sneaking along the tree line to the town I saw a similar figure running along the coast. Friend or Foe? No quarter given or taken - the server messages had included 'if you're unknown and approach us we will shoot'. As we both approached the buildings I was spotted from some distance by a zed, my usual tack is to run into the sea and swim when I'm on the coast so that is what I did. But first I ran to this other survivor and ran in a circle around him. It worked a treat and the zeds all swarmed him, two minutes later a killed message appeared and he was no more.

I continued, but now right by the shore I moved even more slowly and approached the first large building, or group of. All of a sudden zeds, farsands of 'em, all ran to some point north of me. When I say run, more like teleported - the running animation was much slower than the distance they travelled!!!

The immediately to my right (east) a couple of zed are running into the water and there is a survivor swimming away, totally unrelated to the action to the north.

I haven't seen this many zed, nor so fast, ever!

Finally it was my turn, cut off from the sea I headed north to a deer stand, nothing could shake the zed off me and I was even caught a couple of times by a super-speedy bugger. All I could do was climb the stand and hope there was something decent up there, and the zed would take a while to get up the ladder - but no, fate was against me, karma after causing the other guy's death, a empty bottle of whiskey and two zed immediately up the ladder - side by side!!!

I dread the day DayZ will become pay-for. unless its at a low price, subscription or 40$ are both equally dissatisfying and rather annoying, because beta will be totally shut down, AFAIK, because the DayZ heads control all the servers, so all theyll have to do is shut down the servers and bam, no more DayZ

Wow, that was positive for him.

I do like it when he reviews a game I've got, or want, and his review pretty much reflected my experiences bar the minecraft obsession.
