vulfy 55 Posted July 21, 2012 Just wanted to drop my 2cents.Had a blast of a game just now... My heart is still racing.Died yesterday in a gunfight. Logged out without respawning. Today decided to play a bit, so spawned as a new character.Spawned on "Cap Golova" during the day. Having enough experience to know that nothing good will come from the coast, I hiked my way across the road, and onto the side of the mountain. Knowing that "Pusta" was just North of my location, figured that it was my best chance to get something to eat, and maybe something to protect myself with. Running across the forest was uneventful except for a lonely camping tent, which was sadly, empty. Came up to "Pusta" and headed straight to the big stable. All I could find was some trash and a hatchet. Good enough, now I'm armed. Heading to the nearest lootable house I agroed a couple of zombies. No biggie, hatchet made a quick hamburger out of them... I love this thing.House did not provide anything meaningful, except for an extra bandage and a coke. Usual story with these things. Running out of points of interest, on my sightseeing tour of "Pusta", my next heading was "Mogilevka". Since its a bigger settlement I figured it would give me a better chance to stock up on some food and maybe a weapon. "Zub" is not far from it, so I would make it there, and then head North to "Stary Sobor" to try my luck of avoiding snipers and looting some military hardware. The run to the "Mogilevka" was not very eventful either. Upon entering the town I received a message from the server that it will be restarting within 5 minutes. I picked up my pace, to make it to the barn just in time to see if it had anything before server would go down. The Gods of "Z" have smiled upon me, as the barn revealed a LeeEnfield with two clips. NOW I'm dangerous. Server went black and I disconnected with the hopes that my Enfield was saved on my character, before the server's restart. Server came back within minutes, but with high ping. My character was grasping Enfield it his hands which eased my mind a bit. I made my way to the nearest building, avoiding zombies. Unfortunately as soon as I entered the first room, BattleEye decided that my ping was not adequate for the server, and promptly kicked me out. No biggie...A quick hop to a server with a nicer ping, I was back in the game looking at the loading screen. .......I was greeted with a red glow and a sound of gunshots to the right of me, as my screen flickered to life.Great....Ass to the floor, hug the wall, turn around, face the door. Wait... Listen...Moaning and groaning of the zombies were faintly floating in the sound of the heavy rain. The whole town was flickering red and pink from a couple of road flares burning and sizzling somewhere down the street. Well, its a good day to die as any....Crouch... ass out of the door... turn left... hug the wall...... backyard... zombie to the right..... zombie left.... sneak between..... gunshot.....fuck it.... run.... gunshot.... again... again... bushes scrubbing my legs and arms.... Black outlines of the trees on the slope of a hill, were barely visible in the heavy wall of water coming down. I finally made it out of the last flickers of light, coming from the town.... If whoever was shooting, didn't have NVGs, I had a chance.They didn't.....Running a bit into the trees, I slowed my pace, and parked myself in a nice position behind a trunk of a thick tree and a small bush to the right of it, with a big enough gap in between to see what was going on in the town. LeeEnfield in hand, the hunt was on. I figured a pro would not use a flare to light up the town, much less two of them. Noobs....I started circling slowing to my left, trying to see who it was. Running away was out of the question. I wanted blood. A third flare lit up the night right next to the stables left of me. Perfect, a broken line of small bushes was just what I needed to get into position. A few seconds later I was on the spot, overlooking the stables from the side. A flare was burning right next to the side entrance, and to my surprise three men were shuffling around it.Zombies...Nope. Baseball caps, vests, guns slung over the shoulders. #$@%ersOne of them was lying on the floor with the two others hunched over him. HA! Zombies got his legs. This is just perfect!LeeEnfield barked once... twice... Both bullets missed the medic, planting themselves solidly into the body of his patient. It convulsed and a small fountain of blood painted more red on this God forsaken town. Well at least he didn't suffer... much...I had to give it to the reaction of his friends though. Before the echo of the second shot faded off, both of them dove straight into the door of the stables and into the darkness.Crap...Figuring that sitting on the same spot after my rifle quite clearly pinged my position to them, was not the best idea, I decided to head down the hill to a small grove at the base of the stables. Maybe not the smartest move, but it allowed me to keep a clear eye on the barn, while changing my position around these #$%holes. Said... and done.Flare's light was just licking the leaves of the bush right in front of me, but I was in the shade. Back entrance was closed, so they probably headed out the other way... My heart racing, I forced myself to keep the position for a few more minutes. Zombies were shuffling around the town, but no gunshots, nor any abrupt movement has cut through the silence that came after the rain has stopped. Must have slipped from the other side... I sure as hell would not have stayed in a pitch black barn after one of my buddies just let out his ghost at the entrance. Circling the barn on the other side, I was at disadvantage. The barn was still on the slope of the hill, and now I was bellow it. I could only see what flare was showing me, and I knew it would go out soon. Heading into the mess of houses down bellow, with zombies shuffling left and right was not an option. Zombies were not a problem, however the sound of my gunshots, was. I figured a position up on the hill where my first shot was, was the best option in a given circumstance. Not the most brilliant strategy on my part, but what the hell, if I make it up the hill, I'll have a good view of the city and I doubt they would see me, unless they would start chucking road flares at me. Circling back around the barn, I saw a glimpse of movement, going up the same hill, straight from the barn. AHA!!!BANG! BANG! I was in the open, taking my shots. Not caring if I hit, I got my ass in gear and ran to the nearest bush. A red arch streaked across the air into my direction and a second flare lit up my quadrant. Backing out of the circle of light, I kept my eye on the hill. The poor sob was frantically pivoting on his belly, his backpack lighting up like a red beacon, from the glow of his own flare.BANG!More red....Time to get out of Dodge. I had enough blood on my hands, my heart was bouncing against the rib cage, and palms were sweating. Stables were silent in their red glow. Up the hill and away. Crouching and zig zagging between the trees, I made it to the other side and started heading into the town. Black silhouettes of the trees on the nearest hills, were being smudged by the constant shifting blocks of houses, as I made my way through the gasps and the moans of zeds around me.Red flickering at the bottom right corner attracted my eye. ....In all this excitement, I got hungry. And no food on me, as I didn't find anything but the coke, since my waking at the shore. Damn it!Surviving a gun fight, just to starve to death?I bet those guys had some provisions on them. This back and forth is really getting to me. Will I ever get away from that cursed stable?A fence, vault over, round the house. Groaning to the right, keep left a bit.Ok I see the hill now. WOW! Thats a lot of movement up there.Count with me children, one... two... three... four... five... zombies. Five.Wait...Two are crawlers. Something is not right.When in doubt... Empty you clip. BANG! BANG! Limp body of what used to be a farmer sagged into the grass. Screams and shuffling is now heading my way from my right side. Time to move....With my eye on the hill I tap my run button, but release a fraction of a second later. Wait.... zombies don't roll...Dive into the bushes, a sprint to the fence. Screaming stopped behind me, and changed back to shuffling. Well at least zombies are as blind as bats, at night. More movement on the hill. Rolling, again, and again in the open. Well buddy, you win the Darwin award. Here is your prize.........Slowly making my way up the hill, I noticed zombies were standing a few meters from the body, motionless, as if mourning. I was still alive though, and my stomach was rumbling. A quick scan of the backpack revealed a few basic necessities such as compass, a knife and a watch, as well as a couple of cans of famous Baked Beans. After making my way to a safer spot, I opened the can.Consumption required a few seconds of my time, which allowed me to contemplate the meaning of life in Chernarus. The meaning of life quickly boiled down to the greasy can in my fingers, and a bullet in the guts of whoever was laying a bit further down. Simple.Search of other two bodies did not produce anything significant. Poor sobs might have spawned just a few hours earlier than me. Sorry guys.Well, a quick couple of hours of my new life, and I'm a sinner already. A well fed sinner, with weapon in his hands, but a sinner nevertheless. With full virtual belly of my character, and real world sweaty paws of my own, I moved a bit further from the town, found a comfy spot in the bushes, and logged off. Thank you to whoever it was, for today's dose of excitement. See you at the shore. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
