'The Feathermen' ..each one willing to slay their entire family with a hatchet rather than lose a team member . Smilingly. Unbegrudgingly..no questions asked. Namalsk, eight Feathermen deep, five clicks off shore in a chopper. Colder than Nicole Kidman, temps blinking like a 1999 rave party, the Feathermen would not have it any other way. Six gunned up for firefights, two lightly loaded and ready to loot, ballsdeep and ready to die. Target : Northern Army Base, air drop at 150 feet, chopper to beat it offshore ready in an instant for pickup, loot sweep then evac. Creedence cranks over direct..mission is a go. Watching the island approach... over the beach... feet dry . Heli full biscuit hugging the treeline, beeline for the base. Slam it over the top , all Feathermen dropping as one, cold wind snaps the chutes open. Directly below are zeds, the team is dropping into a hot zone. Heli 180's and shoots back low to the coast. Ak fire erupts, one of the lightly geared looters ballass charges in and absorbs fire from the barracks, he is down and out but the two bandits are dropped seconds after by the following Feathermen. Quick sweep, base is clear, raid it out and heli is back for evac. All over in minutes. Swoop out low. Tara bridge and pick up the newly spawned Featherlooter, he gears up from onboard, next target Seraja Army Base. Creedence is still blaring and you can feel the excitement in the crew after the raid, Pushing inland as fast as the heli can pour it on, the cold is affecting one of the Featherman more than the others, thermo off the dial, no turning back as we climb up the hill and prep for another bail. Pop up over the crest and spot two on the ground as Feathermen start jumping, they leg it maxed out heading for a building near the com tower but the Feathermen hit the ground running and funnel them into a killing zone. No mercy. Raid out the barracks, heli slams down on the pad, all onboard, up and out down the mountain , no losses.The team is out happier than an old lady on medical marijuana. One more raid is decided, the Old Hospital must be hit for meds and heatpacks, Everyone is by now freezing out , the team shaking in unison with the vibrations of the rotors. The hospital is always a bitterly contested piece of real estate, quietness has come over the featherman as the Hospital hill appears in the distance. A ural and white pickup are spotted hightailing towards the objective, fuck it, no going back or we all freeze. Feathermen are out as the heli circles above. Immediately shit goes south, one of the jumpers slams into a building ,legs busting then plummets to the ground smashed and broken. Seven on the ground now. A firefight erupts, nine have piled out of the Ural and pickup, guns blazing. The heli takes small arms fire and dives away out of range, casualty list growing as names from both sides start rolling up on screen. In the chaos it is quickly down to a three v two , only two Feathermen remain. The heli doubles the coast picking up fresh Feathers, drops them in on dead bodies , they regear straight into the fight, odds swing and the Hospital is taken. The remainder on the ground grab what they can and call for an extract before all is lost. The heli comes in too hot and overshoots , barrels up and turns, possibly too many whiskies in for skilled flying by this stage. The heli pilot shakes it off and says ' coming in hard and fast, a uaz is dirt trailing it full dicks to us from the factory ! ' The heli comes in hard, slam hogging the tail into a tree and wiping sideways full noise into the grounded Feathermen. The screen is a roll call of the dead team... ..Steak watches the timer from his burning cockpit.

Driving skillz. Meets me with the hippie van. Driving in an open field. Fireball. Under 1 minute.

Very cool :thumbsup:

its A L I I I I I I I V V V V V V V V E E E E E E E E E !!!

Rare indeed

Just out of interest, why the male skin ?

But did you seal the deal with a crowbar ?

Holy spamness !

Why wouldn't it ?

lols to be had :D

Hard ons are required gear when flying with Steak. No hard on, no flight.

Indeed it did, the party crashers were also amusing ..lawl. i do somehow remember another car crash in Electro...

Upper decker this post..again. Croc slides.

Ha! that old grimace icon was amusing :D

You already have had that since day 1 (without the instance) , NW field, Stary, NE field. Jump on a full pop, get your group and go get that large stack of ammo or whatever. Of course in SA there will be a lot more to do , and more places to visit :) Kinky. Yep.

You should have crawled down the street with just a flashlight in your hand calling out ' Anyone in Hoboken !?! '

^^^^

Steak has a hatchet, and he knows how to use it, i have seen skulls split over ' ...who is driving ? '

I imagine everyone would have to be hoping on some zed ramping up in the standalone so we can get that original feel back, but there will always be that kos player type that just does not give a rats about interacting except via bullets regardless of how the game changes. Revenge is a dish best served with a side order of winchester. I do get what you are saying, the early dayz of the mod were a far different feel from what it evolved into, but i still manage to find randoms to interact with even on Pub servers. I did an exchange of nvg's and an akm for some cokes the other night with a guy outside of Cherno industrial , i dropped the items then wandered back about 20 metres keeping him dmr'd whilst we chatted, paranoia , which has always been part of the mod. We headed off without a shot being fired , me drinking coke in the dark , him enjoying his new found vision. He was the only guy i saw in a 25 pop server...playing Louis Armstrongs 'What a wonderful world' over side which was quite fitting. I have read so many posts where people say 'its what would happen in a zed apoc, everyone would be running around knocking everyone off ' ..right. I think most of the kos types would be in hiding or grouped up, but in a game where a click of a mouse means a bigger backpack or an achievment of sorts (score) then rl is out the window.

Anywhere that would accept us, i even took the time to braid flowers in my locks.

I think too many games are becoming too accessible. I’m not a fan of accessibility anymore.- Dean Hall. Dude..i fucking love you. As far as zombie games go this is the first i have played with zeds in it as i have zero interest in zombie type games. The second part of your quote is why i play :) The last part of your quote though, my experience so far has not been anywhere near 99% kos, if it was i more than likely would have stopped playing months ago. I think a lot of people are missing out on the in game interaction that can be had by playing simple kos, and i would wager they are most of the ones that have already left for other games or moved other people on because of their game play. Each to their own though. Nice interview Pat and thanks for posting..you should really smile though ;) You ever get interested to dive in , give me a yell and i will give you a tour of Chernarus :thumbsup:

I didn't even have time to wind down the window and feel the wind in my hair let alone open bandicam. We came for love..we left in caskets.

whats new and whats old? Steak still cannot drive.

will it stop ? only Собирайте алмазы knows for sure. I have never seen a forum plauged with so much spam. Get to it mods ;)

Forums have been on and off tragic for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Refresh is my best friend here.
