Project Reality Forums

The other night I was playing and I had an almost scary incident, as if it was actually real. I was in a closed hummer with my squad of on Al Basrah. We were driving up from the south. Just before we drove into the bounds of the city our side was hit by an RPG, it did not pierce the car, but the front passenger was killed instantly. I saw the blast cover my window in fire. I jumped out because our car was about to blow from the constant .50 fire being thrown at us. The second I jumped out I was shot to pieces from AK-47s. I was just scary as it all happened. It felt like I was watching one of those videos from Iraq when you see the hummer get hit by an RPG. I felt like I was looking through the camera guys eyes in the back seat. Has anyone ever had an experience like this in PR?

I am not sure about your sig to be quite honest.

The idiot driving the VIP truck went ahead of the rest of the group to the bridge. I told him that I(in a humvee) should go in front in case of RPGs or IEDs. He ignored my typed commands and kept going. I heald my breath as he drove accross the bridge and just as he was at the end he was IEDed. I got on the MG as 4 insurgents got out from behind the rock and 2 of them were firing in the air. I managed to kill 3 of them but one of them got ack behind the rock. He tossed 2 molotov cocktails in my direction and one of them hit the car. The car started to smoke and I got out. The flame was just over the driver seat. I tossed a grenade on the right side of the rock and took aim on the other side. The insurgent ran right into my line of fire and was dispatched with one burst of my M-16. I then saw a humvee(my squadmate) coming from airfield to pick me up. I am not in the military, and while I don't think this was very realistic, it was pretty exciting.

Those kind of moments are supposed to happen when you are playing the mod man! They might be rare but damn I enjoy them.

Oh, the signature should be changed for something that does not offend people so much. Check the forum rules over here. Section 3 is about the signatures and to be exact. Your signature brokes section 3.6

Sig deleted. Now, any more stories?

Last night I was in the Helmand with wooly-back-jack and other fellas. We were insurgents and holding up the middle flag Whiskey in the buildings that can be destroyed. I shot about 15 guys without getting killed and they all knew where we were and when I was kinda hoping to be killed for more ammo AT rounds started to shell us. They destroyed everything they could and after that grenades started to fly.

Damn that felt well planned from the Brits. I was so drunk there was nothing to do in the situation

same map

i was sitting about 20meters outside of the village on the humvee 50. my squad had just capped the village and were making their way back to the humvee when insurgents started seeping out of the village from several directions...

I opened up on the 50 and insurgents started swaming out..i killed about 3 and the squad was slowly retreating and firing.. one and then 2 rpg rounds just missed my humvee but i kept firing like crazy...burst burst burst... bam bam bam... finally the gys make it back to the humvee and we take off.. me firing to the rear on the way out...my heart was pumping when we drove out of range...


FING COOOL!!!

The last time I tried out a tank on Basrah ended in disaster. I managed to get in a tank with a gunner that was in my squad and I was feeling pretty confident as we left the airport. It had been a really quiet round and I was not expecting any IEDs so I headed for the bridge above NorthVCP. Right before the bridge the ground underneath us erupted in a explosion as we ran into 3 IEDs. By the time I have figured out that we have been tracked we get hit in the side with an RPG. It was just enough to get the tank on fire and I bailed out, taking some damage in the process. My gunner shot a HEAT round at the corner of the nearest building and 2 insurgent bodies went flying into the air. No sooner had he done this than the tank blew up. 3 insurgents filed out of the ruins behind me and I was only able to kill one of them before I succumbed to their AK-47s. It all happend in about 7 seconds and it was awsome!

Hmm, in the short time I've been playing PRM:

Playing Muttrah City as the US. I was the Marksman in a full squad as we headed to capture the mosque. We took the littlebird - with me getting dropped off on top of a nearby building (covering fire - killed about 4-5 MEC trying to get to my squad). It seemed pretty real... well like in Black Hawk Down when the Delta Force get dropped off.


Mcminty.

had the m14, i think it was on edjod desert, with my squad, i was working as a squad support, we were moving through the city, id run to a corner, peer around with my scope, squad cought up, id run to the next corner, scan the area, squad cought up, it was fantastic
although i didn't even fire a round until we got to a flag, the squad movement was so real (i assume) and so intense it was fantastic!
when we passed an arch, we smoked, moved, i lagged to cover, then moved forward and man it was so much fun. i felt like one of the delta snipers of black hawk down

That is called the "bounding overwatch" and is the proper way for a unit to move in hostile areas. Nice work!

It's a .4 moments, but I guess it'll do...

I was squadleader on Ejod Desert. Me and my gang had moved ahead of the main assault force and set up a defensive position in and around the ruins just south of Gardens. We were planning to delay any MEC doing the same thing enough to let the rest of the team capture the Market (isn't it? Haven't played Ejod for a while). Then, just before the team had reached Market, gunfire erupted from the Gardens. We returned fire with our M16s. Then more G3s joined in. Suddenly we found ourselves in the middle of a huge contact. Everyone was constantly shouting over the gunfire, calling for ammo, calling for a medic. There was tracer everywhere, and all you could think about was getting as many rounds on target as possible, firing single shots and bursts towards the Gardens and the desert where the MEC tried flanking attacks. Smoke was everywhere, enemy and friendly, and all you could hear was men shouting, shots being fired and the cracks of rounds coming close. Grenades went off on all sides, and I had my M203 out, lobbing HE grenades over walls and sand dunes. It was all we could do; fire, reload and keep firing. Every man was doing his job and letting the others do theirs. There was no time to assess the tactical situation; we had enough trouble just staying alive. The rifleman supplying ammo was working overtime to keep us with fresh mags, and our corpsman was healing right and left while tracers were flying both ways. It was us, six men, against what must have been more than half the MEC team.

Two times our team tried assaulting Gardens on the eastern side, to our far right, but they were met with heavy 7.62 fire. The assaults stopped, then they were pushed back into the city. As the MEC emerged from cover, going for the city, we engaged them with grenades, then followed up with bullets. We took rapid single shots, emptying our mags, reloaded and kept firing. We were taking fire from the north, nortwest - our western side was protected by the concrete wall - and the east. And we held our ground.

After what seemed like hours, our teammates managed to rush into the gardens, capturing the CP and clearing the immidiate area. We reloaded and went left, boxing around the Gardens on the western side, going for the last remaining CP...

That was the most intense experience I've ever had. And the most amazing squadwork ever. My adrenaline was actually rushing. Our squad managed to hold the MEC back practically alone, effectively preventing them from getting into the city. I have no idea how long that firefight lasted. It could have been minutes, or it could have been half an hour. Everyone was just so focused on their jobs, everything else was blocked out.

i totally agree, i never expected battlefield 2, or any game for that matter, to be so intense!
this mod has to be one of the best games ever!

On Al Basrah, *trying* to hold Facility as USMC with just me and another from my squad. We were being overrun, we had been doing WAY too well for just two people defending against a full team of insurgents, and we had both made many kills. We were going nuts, figuring that we were pretty much dead no matter what as they knew where we were (in the N building that has the backyard wall you can hop over), so I gave an attack order on facility for an A10 pilot in our squad to come and just bomb the sh*t out of us at facility. He strafed, and unleashed a barrage of rockets on all of facility, and had to pick up at least six or seven kills. It was awesome. Neither of us died in the barrage, and we held it for a little while longer. We ended up losing it due to being overrun again about 30 seconds later, but still

Probably not that realistic either, since I don't think that little trailer would hold up to 30mm rounds and rockets, but whatever.

Another one, .5 this time.

Basrah as US.
My squad had just captured a CP, and we were moving out and into the city from the west. As we got up from cover, a contact sparked up across the road, about a hundred metres out. We got to cover, but lost a man in the process; he was hit by AK fire. We were on high ground, but were unsure where the enemy was. Crawling up to a low sand berm, I peered through the sight on my M16, scanning the roadside across from us. My eyes were drawn to a car wreck on the pavement. I saw figures moving out from behind it.
"Contact," I said over VOIP. "Two guys, right behind that car wreck. One's got an RPG!" Seeing the guy lift the RPG-7 to his shoulder, I crawled back, just in time to avoid the explosion of the RPG hitting the sand berm.
We returned fire, taking single shots at the burnt-out car, not sure whether we were hitting the enemy or not. Another RPG streaking past a metre above our heads told me we weren't. Reloading my M203, I got to my knees. Bullets cracked around us and hit the dirt by our feet and the brick wall behind us as I fired. The 40mm HE grenade landed right behind the wreck, and we could see two bodies being blasted away by the explosion.

We had just reloaded and were going to cross the road when another contact kicked in from our half left. There was the cracks of heavy 7.62 short from an AK and the thuds of rounds hitting dirt. I couldn't see where it came from, but hit the dirt and returned fire in the general direction of the contact.
"He's on that balcony!" the squadleader's voice crackled over VOIP. Our firing got more intense now, with people moving back, into cover. We were getting rounds down, but the contact was still up. AK rounds ricocheted from rocks and walls around us. Tracers were flying towards the building where the contact was. I fired as I moved, but two 7.62 rounds hit me in the chest, and I fell.

The whole thing gave me flashbacks from the videos we've all seen of soldiers fighting insurgents in Iraq. It was exactly the same, random strikes, then a firefight, with lots of shooting from the American side, without really hitting anything, and then it was over, as soon as it had started.

as recent as 2 days ago during the .:iGi:. teamwork night, i was a brit, playing as a rifleman kit, the MEC had just taken the storgae flag, and as i decided to advance on it, i walked round the corner of the main building, and low and behold there was 12 (twelve MEC) taking the flag.

At the point, instincts took over, went down to one knee, and on single shot rained rounds into heads, chests, whatever bit of MEC i cud take out. was a sheer moment of panic and luckily for me, they all thought the rounds were coming from the opposite direction!

a few seconds later, 12 mec lay dead, and i strolled up to the flag. The next momet, a t-62 tank rolled up, and luckily the turret didnt notice me crouching next to a box, i fled the scene and threw a nade, which killed a medic trying to revive his comrades.

i then got teamkilled. lol.


all the above happened within about 30 seconds of gameplay.

REAL moments, yeah?
