We should have a "war stories" section to the forum.

In the other forum I post at they have a war stories section to tell cool stories of in game battles, it would be really sweet to hear some from you guys.

The reason I bring this up now is that I had the best battle moment in a long time playing prrm.

I joined in the middle of the round on Karkland 32, there were over 20 players. I was on the USMC side and when I joined they were getting their act together and charging to the suburbs flag. They capped it and we went down to the middle spawn. After another minor skirmish we had that flag to and we were off to the train station. After getting blown away by the lmg emplacement I spawned at my squad leader at the far north end of the map above that building that you can walk through. I saw a guy near that building prone, shooting. I lob a nade, he goes flying. We charge down and take out the two guys in that fenced area. We lay down because we're taking fire. A special ops guy comes out of nowhere and blasts our squad leader, but before he can get a shot on me put him down. I revived my squadleader, only a split second after does a poor sniper spawn. He has barely enough time to get a few shots off before we shred him. I charged to the back of the trains taking out a guy who was coming my way. I crawled closer and closer to the flag picking off every guy in my path(there were lots). Soon, I'm at the end of the train and have to run across an open area to reach the flag. If I was spotted the whole MEC team would have been shooting at me so I had to choose my moment carefully. I ran out and luckily wasn't spotted. I was close, but in that server the capture radius was normal and I got scared, but I knew what I had to do so I left my cover to cap the flag. I layed there and took out every guy who came at me and single handidly capped the flag. I and a few others rushed the bridge and towers where we took out a few guys who were camping. Suddenly my squad leader goes down, I revive him, and rush back up to get cover. He dies again very quickly and I stand up to investigate. An mec special ops guy charges up, I get two shots into him but he kills me. This worked out well because the MEC team had begun to ***** about how the teams were uneven.

I switched teams and after a first few frustrating round where I didn't get any kills and my team didn't even try to revive me I joined another squad that was attempting to gain control of the bridge. They had already charged the towers and were keeping the USMC on the ground at their spawn. The other tower was empty so I ran to it and killed a guy who was sneaking in to our base. Suddenly, we lose our last flag. I decided I had to take a gamble and take the quickest route up to maybe hold off the cap until more could arrive so I climb the ladder. I surprisingly made it up, and even more surprisingly, I made it up the ramp where I saw a whole squad of USMC made up of no less than two medics and two support. By some miracle they didn't see me so hit the deck and unloaded taking out a poor support. There were three more right and I knew I'd die laying there so I ran around and once again, by some miracle, wasn't spotted. I ran around and caught a medic trying to to revive the support and another support. I, once again, sprayed and got them all. The was very lucky to spot the last medic in the building hiding at the doorway waiting for me to come. I naded the building and he ran out and I put three bullets into his back putting him down. By this time I was the last man on my team, but the flag was white and I had hope. I hid inside the building for what seemed to be an hour. My squadleader has already given up hope and said we put up a damn good fight. I'm sure it was a nice surprise when I finally capped the flag and my whole team spawned at once. I was extatic. What followed was the most intense firefight for the flag that I've had in a long time. In a few deaths though we had secured our land mass again and were charging the bridge again.

The game ended and I got in second place, a second after that my graphics card overheated and my computer crashed. My friends ask me, if I get so upset playing BF2 why do I play it, it's because of moments like this.

Hope that wasn't way too long of a post, but I'm still giddy about the whole thing.

Thanks guys!

I was looking forward to watching the superbowl when I got home from work today. The game's been recorded, I've been purposely avoiding websites and other places where I might see the result, the beer's chilled and ready and the cupboard is stocked with snacks.

Well, now I know the result.

Oh well, no point crying over spilt milk...

Lonely, I think the perfect place for these kinds of stories would be in the Off Topic forum. Perhap there could be a "war story" thread?

Noticed the thread was moved to suggestions. I wasn't sure if the suggestions forum was only for in game suggestions or suggestions in general. Sorry for the trouble.
