Day z, an arma II zombie mod

[doggypwn]

I've been watching jefmajor's "playthrough" of the DayZ mod, and I've learned these things.
1: Be hyper-paranoid. If you are approaching a town or building, think tactical. Don't derp into an open field and run around pegging all the zombies anywhere within a mile of you. Try hiding behind tree lines, in buildings, on hillsides, and DON'T GO NEAR ROADS.
2: Don't ignore your hunger/thirst, because it can get bad if you start getting mobbed by zombies and get so hungry as to lose blood from it.
3: GET. AWAY. FROM. THE. COAST.
4: Don't go to places like churches when starting out, because lots of people camp churches on the coast, as they're full of good loot normally.
5: Avoid other people. This one's important, as making contact with other people generally means they will shoot you before you even have the chance to type out "Friend?" or use the direct coms setting on the radio.
6: Try not to get into fights, because if you see someone else anywhere near the coastline, they're either hunting people for food/guns/ammo/sport, or they're total noobs and will be swarmed in seconds. Not worth killing yourself over a noob with a makarov.
7: Don't go crazy over blood amounts, having more than 4k units of blood is normally enough to be alright for a time being.
8: Try to have fun and not obsess over the game.

EDIT: And don't go to the northwest airfield unless you feel foolhardy or have some really nice stuff and multiple people with you.
