Okay I have allot to say on this game but I will mostly focus on something I have allot of knowledge on. Also I know of some great videos that will help with this game. My main focus is on helping you guys just starting in arma and dayz with land navigation.
Here is a video on how to use a compass, I know some of you think you know how to use a compass but its more complicated than you think, and in a game like dayz knowing how to use one is key to finding all the best places.
So I know your thinking that this video is not a dayz video so how does this help. Well in Arma which is were the dayz engine came from they made the land nav parts of the game very realistic. The terrain is based on a real place and the distances are real also the compass in game works in a very real way. So when you are traveling with a compass and you know which direction you need to go just plot your bearing pick a target, a tree, building or other unchanging land mark. Then put away your compass take out your gun and start running to that target. Once you get to said target check your bearing pick a new target and start running again. Rinse, lather and repeat.
P.S.
The guy in the vid is the same guy that used to star in a show called dual survivor on discovery.
