maniak-e 9 Posted August 14, 2012 Except for the kind where i get sniped or shot in the back by a person i never saw. Me and a buddy met up today near myshinko. He decides he wants to go to the NW airfield. I am reluctant because honestly i never find crazy good loot there and usually wind up getting popped by a sniper. I finally agree to it and off we go. We are in the woods W of Pushtoska when we hear that familiar noise of a chopper. This is the first time I will actually see a chopper in the air in game. Ive never come across one spawned or hidden, and have never seen one in the air. I heard one once before now near the NE airstrip but it was gone before i got there.Anyways here comes the chopper we hide under couple evergreen trees both of us in camo outfits. I with an m14 he with a m16 M203 or whatever it is. The one with the underslung grenade launcher. It continues flying by albeit slowly, eventually it moves off til we cant hear it anymore. We wait around a minute or two til we are convinced it is gone. We start moving again and pass into a slight clearing of the woods. Immediately we hear the chopper returning. It comes basically straight to our position. Dont know if they had a spotter on the ground or what but im not sure how they found us like that. I was under another evergreen my buddy only had a bush to hide behind. The chopper hovered over us for 20 secs or so. We were asking one another is this dude gonna to land? Hopeful that they werent Bandits. Well we were wrong of course. Next thing you know buttheads opened fire on us quickly killing my friend as he was exposed. I had hoped they hadnt seen me and while they were firing at my bro i move behind a stand of trees for cover and a better shot. Immediately the bullets rained downs hitting the trees and ground around me. I just kept moving peeking when i could and shooting every chance i got. Luckily the m14 has a high rate of fire and i took advantage. The helicopter kept frantically trying to flank me to get a clear Line of sight on me. I would just run through the evergreens to the other side constantly keeping what cover i had between me and him. After a good 60 secs of this he suddenly veered off and made a break for it. I started laughing over steam chat with my buddy and said "Their running away!" . I popped out and unloaded on em emptying my clip or whatever i had left until the chopper went out of view over the tree line. Next thing i hear is a weird whirrr like his engines powered down then BOOOM! Followed by 4 dead nonames. I bellowed to my buddy "I SHOT EM DOWN I SHOT EM DOWN!" Most satisfying firefight ive ever had in a game. Not that ive had one IRL. So my first encounter with bandits/ chopper ends with me shooting them down with my trusty M14. Remember what your momma told you. Careful what you ask for you just might get it. I didnt get cred for any bandit kills, i dont know how that works. he may of just crashed trying to get away or they all ejected when close to the ground and died from the fall im not sure how that works. But there was only like 10 people on the server so its doubtfull anyone else shot em down plus i never heard another gun shooting.I dont know why people like those enjoy doing crap like they did, but thanks for the gps ghille suit and rangefinders for me and my friend.Couple screenshots of the aftermath. Wish i had that crap recorded. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maniak-e 9 Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah banditry is part of the game, and to be honest without it the game wouldnt be the same. I almost got hackered one night. I joined a server and see Welcome to Thunderdome the Chopper will spawn in 1 minute or some crap like that. I just logged off quick as i could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Well done, Maniak. I've been killed about half a dozen times today. If I'm honest, it does get grindingly tiring respawning at Cherno 9 out of 10 times and being sniped soon after you spawn. I just made my way through cherno, picked up a backpack, some food and a water bottle - bam, guy runs in and shoots me in the dead.I don't understand it. I can't get my head around people like that. I wish we had non PVP servers and I'd like there to be public hangings in Cheranus with bounties on the heads of these selfish lowlifes that kill because they're playing an 18+ and their mummies haven't made them go to bed yet.Ah well. Just got to do what I always say - grit your teeth, smile and get right back in the game again. :thumbsup: Edited August 14, 2012 by Sula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bandits are still there, but it's far more manageable, and the gear is normally legit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
