The Most Intense Moment of my Gaming Career

[Brusann 67]

I ran through the military base in Stary Sobor, ducking from tent to tent, when I heard sporatic gunfire; it was VERY close. I hid in the nearest tent, where I found my first backpack, the 24 slot coyote bag. I grabbed my prize and waited for the coast to be clear. I ran to the trees above Stary and got into position to stalk my prey.

With my trusty FN FAL w/ night scope, I scanned the city, looking for a target. Unfortunately, after about 15 minutes with no sightings, I was ready to call it a night. That was when I saw the flashlight beam in the distance. At first I was confused; no one could possibly be using a flashlight to navigate in Stary, right?! But upon further inspection, my suspicions were confirmed. There was a group of three headed my way.

They crossed the road and ran into a field to the left of the military tents while I was taking position to fire from the trees above. I zeroed in on the first target's chest, the player at the front of the column. I fired. He hit the floor, I see the confirmation of the kill in the lower left corner and watch blood gush from his still-warm body. I have no time to celebrate, however, as I dropped the next target with a well-aimed bullet to the abdomen. One more shot on the ground and he had joined his friend in the afterlife.

Amidst the confusion, I'd lost the third bandit, and I knew there was no way to loot those bodies unless his was one of them. I stalked to my left around the city into some more shrubs and once again began scanning with my night-scope'd FAL. There he was, prone, lying there, protecting the bodies of his fallen comrades. It was a noble act indeed. One that was sadly rewarded with a bullet to the forehead.

Four Bullets, three kills, and all my first confirmed kills as a bandit. And I ran off into the darkness to collect my new weapons and gear, heart still pounding through my chest, counting my lucky stars I had made it out alive.

The bandits had two m-4 cco's, one of which i took. They had an FN FAL night-scope and an 870 shotgun with flashlight. They had a gps, lots of mags for my m1911, and a lot of different misc. gear, which I gladly relieved them of.

My only regret was that I could not carry more.

If youre reading this, MrOctagon from the texas server I was playing on, I left your bodies so you can get your gear back :D

Feel free to reply with any similar stories! Or comments about mine or the way I wrote it, constructive criticism always helps!

I've had a few run ins in Stary as well. Most notably was 2 nights ago. I was carrying a L8 at the time, so i was equipped with night vision / thermal. I was part of a 4 man team which consisted of 2 snipers, a spotter, and a point man.

I watched our pointman head into the tents, looting away. One I saw that he'd safety made it there I turned my attention to the opposite tree line and turned my thermal on. Only a minute, possibly less I spot something in my sweep and jerk my vision back to it. Low and behold, two hostiles moving at a suicidal speed into Stary.

I quickly tell my team mate to get out, and to get out fast. He races back up the hill and ducks into cover while I help the snipers get eyes on the two. They make it to the barn as we wait and watch patients for a good shot.

For reasons unknown to me, (most likely a close walker) they lay down and begin to crawl in a perfect kill zone box.

Our sniper takes 1 shot with the AS 50 (his first time using that gun) and makes the kill.

I take my eyes off my screen to lean over during this time, with in a split second of the first kill he has shot off another round, heading straight for the second hostile. Just as the bullet nears, the player alt-f4's, and we watch the bullet hit the dust where the player's head had been.

Sadly only one kill that night in Stary... But we look forward to getting the otherguy some day soon :P

I just had someone disconnect about a half hour before this happened! Infuriating lol. I've always wanted to provide overwatch for a squad as I'm pretty good at sniping, but just never had the team to do it.

Did you hear a 107 round go off just before this?

[Brusann 67]

I heard a few go off, i'm not sure what they were, what server were you playing on?

What did the first player you killed have on him, gun wise? I think I was carrying... an AKM or something like that.
