So one of the things that I love about PR is the (relative) realism that other FPS games lack. That means that a lot of the action is fairly slow paced and deliberate.
But you do get those moments where it's a balls out rush.
Share your close calls in this thread!
For myself, I've only played for a week or two, but I still have a couple of stories to tell!
Story 1:
Forgive me I don't remember the map, but here I am as a USMC AR, cruising along in the passenger seat of a Humvee next to my squad leader trying to take a Bunker from the Russians.We follow the road and crest a shallow hill...
And the squad leader slams the Humvee's brakes. We're nose to nose with a Russian T-72 and a logi truck.
"Holy ****ing ****!?" squad leader barks.
"Uh...there's a tank in front of us," I inform him.
BOOOM! the tank fires?and misses at point blank range. We're underneath his gun! IRL that muzzle blast would've killed everyone in the humvee if not the humvee itself lol.
"Dismount!"
We all press E and hustle out of the Humvee.
"Wait! Wait! Mount up! **** it! We're out of here!"
We all press E again and jump back in. In the rush I find myself behind the driver's wheel.
God dang it.
"GET US OUT OF HERE!"
Reverse. Three point turn. HMG is banging away. Stuff explodes. We crash into a tree.
Everything's quiet.
"Okay the tank is down. Let's roll," says Squad Lead. IDK how, but it worked for me.
And we carry on as before XD.
Story 2:
Same map as USMC. Later game. Different squad. I'm a medic moving with the squad along a road. Lotsa brush around. I see a guy up ahead. I check him out with my scope. He's Russian. Before I can report to my SL, he sees me, crouches, aims. I shoot. He dies.
And thus begins one of the craziest *** firefights I've ever experienced in a game.
I don't even know what exactly happened. Just we were shooting indirect suppressive fire while the Russians kept rushing us alongside an APC. Frags were flying back and forth like water balloons. I was taking cover behind a tree.
one squad mate goes down right next to me. I pull out an epipen to revive him.
Then a freakin Russian player appears out of nowhere holding a KNIFE!
"UUUUHHHH...squad lead! enemies are...UUUHH...freakin CLOSE! Melee range close!"
I think "oh ****" and switch to my M4. My in-game self takes his freakin' time going through the weapon prep animations.
Meanwhile I'm backing away in circles around the tree in prone position.
Russian knife dude chases me around in circles around the tree.
My real-life self is hopping up and down in my chair with urgency while my in-game self leisurely flips the safety...chambers a round...seems to double check that everything's all ready to fire or something...and...FINALLY!
No time to aim. Pump the other guy full of lead.
Holy guacamole that was a close call. I then proceeded to revive and heal that teammate as before XD.
