wiggie 0 Posted July 18, 2012 To the four players, who made yourselves horribly known and eventually killed us at the end of the runway at the north western airfield a few minutes ago. This, is our side of the story.We decided, being nearby, that we would check out the airfield, mainly sticking to the barrack's area in order to secure some better weapons that would allow us to survive longer. Whilst raiding a building, jam packed with goodies, we heard the crack of a rifle, and froze in the dark. We decided to try and locate the source of the gun shot, in order to verify whether or not you were a credible threat, and from the noise alone, we managed to disern that one of you had a 5.56 Nato assault rifle, one was packing a 7.62 precision rifle, and the last (at the time) was wielding a .45 pistol.When we eventually got eyes on you, from afar, hidden in the tree's, we saw you moving from hanger to hanger, putting down zombies in a fairly noisy fashion. For a good fifteen minutes we followed you, proned in the grass, scoping you with binoculars. However, we never had intent to engage you. At this time, our group was divided, me and another were stalking you through the grass, whilst the other half of our crew was scouting further up the runway.We tracked you to the hill, and watched you for a long time, creeping ever closer to disern what you had and who you were in the dark. That is when you opened up on us. I returned fire with the AKS74, my friend, beside me, with the AKM. We aren't sure if we hit any of you, but we made a break for the tree's in some attempt to survive.How you spotted us, I have no idea, I assume that one of you had night vision optics, or possibly thermal imaging, but despite my random, completely spontanious strafing, you still managed to put me down, with what I assume was a machine gun (juging by the tracer fire). I wen't for a cigarette then, and thus didn't hear what happened to my other two friends, but I know that they were killed too.A fair fight, though it was rather one sided in your favour, with higher ground, superior weapons and numbers on your side, but by fair, I mean fun. Even when I hit the deck, riddled with lead, I wasn't particularly bothered. Our death's were the result of our curiosity, but I would rather go down in a firefight than falling off of a stairs, or being ended by a swinging door.Fair play to all of you, and good luck on your travels!

Rayth 12 Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks for not disconnecting... you and your friends. That kind of gunfight is one of many that maybe just never happened because of the magic alt-f4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
