Sunday time TBA
Monday - later, like 21:00 hrs?
Tuesday - ca. 20:00 OPEN pword = CHERRY (again)
Friday's game started at 18:30 hrs and rapidly filled with people I had never seen before. Normally it is good to meet new people, but this was amateur hour. The sniper calls and airstrikes vanished as fast as they could use them, and the team was dying like it was FTA - rapidly and randomly. It cleared up after a halfhour or so, and more expereincved players started to come in. Also, while I usually dread players named Marine, we had one join who actually was USMC (or so he claimed). He wasn't familiar with the game, but he obviously knew how to move in a firefight and support his teammates. For once, it was a pleasure to have an anonymous marine on the team. I hope you come back, and pick a name so we can recognize you!
The players (who are worth mentioning):
A Moose
Sgt. Kimo
Marine (whoever you are)
Sgt SteelRain86 (I see you got a promotion)
Hitman
Stepponnopets
Game ended at 23:00 hrs after the experienced players left and I got tired of watching another MARINE pop smoke and try to eplore the empty map prone and stare at the posters. Damn noobs. It was irritating that he never said a word, but I guess I'd rather have him quiet than listen to him whine.
Highlight of the night: I saw Kimo take on two opfor in hand to hand and beat them both down. I was trying to get a bead on the opfor but it was just a blur of bodies, I thought for sure he was dead and then suddenly, he was the only one standing! Amazing. Just as quickly, he was dead, as a RPK cut him down from his flank. Our team ended with a 35K unit citation, nice!
Finally - next time you pass the indoor technical take a look at the sign above the open doorway leading to the outside. Normally (in the USA) you would see an EXIT sign - there is one here also, but it doesn't say EXIT. I won't spoil the suprise by telling you what it says....
SORTIE (sôr-tee) (noun) 1: a military action in which besieged troops burst forth from their position, 2: An armed attack, especially one made from a place surrounded by enemy forces, 3: A flight of a combat aircraft on a mission.
[French, from feminine past participle of sortir, to go out, from Old French.]
