Fun Day Ending in Death

Recommended Posts

Hello all. This is what happened on my first time in a helicopter. It may be a bit long, so skip over it if you like.

So me and a couple other TMW's were running to save a patient, on some empty server. Along the way, someone finds a fully operational heli and a motorcycle, just sitting by a gas station. Luckily he knows how to fly, so we end up doing a heli evac for the patient.

From there we all get picked up and loot every military spawn, as the server is still empty. Get some good gear, then get more calls for help, and attend to those. After this, we find a camp of 5 tents on Skalisty Island. Drop down to check it out and the place is loaded. We all gear up well, then the server randomly restarts. We cross our fingers, and the chopper is still there, but it has no gas. We put the 3 can in that we have, hoping it will at least allow us to get to a gas station.

While we're about to take off, someone had just logged in on the island, probably the camp owner, and takes 3 of 5 of us out before we even get out of the chopper. It's just me and the pilot left. I hurry to get out, trying to find this guy. The pilot decide to take off and save the chopper. This didn't end well as the enemy was using a sniper rifle, and killed the pilot, crashing the heli. I'm left alone on this little island with just a M107 to try to kill this guy. I couldn't know how far away he was, so I zeroed to 100 and aimed for the body as he looted one of the dead. The bullet whizzed over his head. He bolts behind the house and I assume he logged out.

I don't know how many were able to get back and retrieve there stuff, but I got out gaining a coyote backpack and an M107, and I had fun riding all over the map in a chopper. Still stuck on the island, hopefully the Logistics guys can come rescue me.

I could lose my stuff, like my coyote backpack, and more importantly my anti-biotics. I sent a request for evac, but I'll swim if I don't get a response soon.
