I appreciate the idea of looking for an outfit to join, the thought honestly never crossed my mind As far as reordering the server browser, I seem to sense some sarcasm, especially in light of the "how to use cover and concealment" advice. I've played video games for some time now, I'm pretty sure I'm aware of how to click the server browser so it show's highest to lowest. The highest was 68-72 people which I always lagged out of after 5-10 minutes of game play and the next highest was 30 and it was chenarus revolution. There's barely any pvp servers that have any people playing on them on a Saturday afternoon that are good. I found a decent 30 man and played for a while, but then I had to reconnect to it twice because I lost the option to change my load out. I would re-spawn with an ak47 and 1 mag and that would be it. As far as arma being a hard game/not COD. I've played since OFP, I'm aware of the concepts of cover and concealment and I understand this game wants to be "real." However real has it's limits as it is a video game and at some point, I just want to have fun. If I wanted real all the time, I would re-enlist and ride in a c-130 and then a humvee to the front lines. When I want to play video games, I don't want to wait for an intro, wait for a spawn timer, wait for a vehicle and drive/fly to town or a re-spawn timer because I had to kill myself to spawn somewhere else. Just frustrated as I spent more time waiting/looking for a game rather than actually playing. Once I actually find a good server, I have a blast. It's finding the good ones that's so hard.

Ok so out of a few hundred servers, most have >5 people in them. Out the of the remaining, there are a bunch with a password. Forgetting all that, I finally find a hold/ctf/team server with a good population and an ok ping. I connect. I finally spawn after the 20 minute bezerk intro. Time to go kill some people.....oh I have to spawn at the main base. Ok, let me drive...oh no vehicles/oh it takes 10 minutes to drive. Ok let me fly...oh there's no helicopters/oh I guess I'll just halo jump and let the helo crash. Or I can just respawn and then just spawn somewhere else. So I finally make it to the front lines, eager and ready. I die as the new guy next to me FF's me. Oh well, I'll just spawn again...oh, I can't carry an rpg? Oh well, hope I don't run into any tanks. So I spawn again and my town is being captured by a tank. Great, I guess I can shoot at him to distract him? It doesnt matter anyways as by this point I've been on the server for 10 minutes and it's time for me to lag out/for the server to lag out/for the server to drop connection/for the round to end. I've been "playing" since 230pm est. I have spent 10 minutes actually playing and the rest of the time trying to find a server/spawn/get into the action. Anyway to fix this? I could hop right into a game in ARMA 1 or even OFP and play away. I'm not having any fun trying to play this game and I'm pretty pissed now that I've seemingly wasted my money on something that doesn't provide any fun factor.
