So, a friend of mine had played this on PC back in the day and going by him and youtube vid's everyone talks about the airfield in the north. I had a character that was mooching about from small rural town to small rural town and then I found a compass. I then made my way north, again staying away from main roads and gathering water in streams along the way.
After making my way to a castle I noticed smoke in the distance and made my way towards it, it ended up being a crashed Helicopter and it was surrounded by some good loot, I got military fatigues and a utility belt to carry more. I found out after the fact that the crashed helicopters are random on each server so it was quite the lucky break. Heading ever more northwards I came up to a wall with guard towers, venturing through a gap in the crumbling wall I climbed up into one of the towers and I could see an Air Traffic Control tower in the distance.
I made my way to the tower and found an M4, along with some bullets for it (5.56). Then I got a bigger backpack and had some more bullets and guns, I had 2 hand guns, bullets, food, water and looked pretty bad ass.
I noticed a crashed plane at end of the runway so made my way to it. I hadn't met many people during my travels, most folk ran away if seen me and I did the same. I was sat in a hunters tower and got shot at, I even got injured (9/10 its instakill) but managed to heal myself and run into a nearby forest, I didn't have a lot of loot at the time so I wasn't too scared.
Anyway my mate joined my server and we were chatting away then suddenly I died. I presume a sniper took me out, it was a real nightmare but after my respawn I found I enjoyed looting places now that I know what I'm looking for and what I don't really need. I quickly had a handgun and then found a military base near the coast and got another M4. At this point my mate asked if I could see some blocks of flats on top of a hill. I could MILES away but we decided that would be the best place to meet up because they are so dominant and so we did.
We set off to head back to the Military base I was in just before and as we approached we seen a guy walking about looting, we quickly ducked into the woods and made our way towards him, I was absolutley cacking it.
The guy must have logged off because we found no one, even though we shouted on mics and stuff. We found a nearby town and mate quietly executed a Z with his suppressed AK, I seen one running for me and hit it with my M4 VERY LOUDLY bringing several more on top of us.
We found a town and some much needed water and logged off but the game is class. It runs so well and I was surprised how well the MP aspect works, other players don't seem to lag at all, it's all very smooth, the visuals can be stunning at times and the ambient sound effects are top notch, especially in the woods.
