[List] Your Worst Experiences
Posted: 2007-07-30 17:20
Okay, so I noticed that there's a Best Squad Leader moments thread, and I just had the worst round ever, so I figured I'd like to hear about some of your worst, most unlucky games too.
(I checked the search option for something similar, but didn't see anything.)
Here's what happened...
I joined a server running Operation Pheonix, I'm pretty sure I must've joined right after the 2 minute timer at the beginning of the round went down, because no flags had been taken.
Straight away I checked for squads. There were 3 full squads, and one locked squad with two members. Sigh. I create a squad (playing USMC) and spawn at the forward spawn, figuring that there's nobody in my squad, I can worry about getting an Officer Kit once I get another member or two.
I make it to the first flag on the East, and in the time it takes to cap it, I had requested a supply drop so that I could get my kit. My squad are all talking to each other, and I tell them to go to the train while I wait a minute for my officer kit. It's going well, everyone is talking.
The supply drop finally lands, I run over to it and get shot. In a few seconds I'm revived, and then 3 medics dive on top of me. Boom, grenaded, we're all dead.
Death count: 1
By this time, I have 3 more guys in my squad, so I spawn on the commander's supply truck thing at the south west flag, hop in a Humvee, and drive back to the supply drop. There's guys running about the flag, but it's fine because the MEC haven't even taken the Train flag yet, so I'm okay. There's another dude healing himself or something next to the supply drop when I run over. I grab my office kit (standing right in front of this dude), look around for a second, turn around and start running back to my Humvee. The guy shoots me, then shoots my squad mate on the .50 cal. His uniform, having been essentially the same as mine, had thrown me off. The fact that he was sitting so obviously in the middle of a flag full of my own friendlies blinded me to the fact that he had a beard.
Death count: 2.
I spawn on the commander's supply truck again, he's moving. A split second after I spawn, I'm shot, then the truck explodes.
Death count: 3
Spawn, make my way to the supply drop once again. Get the officer's kit, running with another guy from my squad (no idea where the rest are, probably off being useful) to catch up to the battle. Out of nowhere I'm hit by a grenade.
Death count: 4
Right, so by this time, I've done absolutely nothing, and everyone in my squad has far more points than me. I decide that I'm obviously not being any use to them, so I leave the squad and join another.
We're running along, then two of my guys run around a corner and get mown down. I can tell where the guy is (very close, to the left) by the sound of his gun, and my team-mates urgently need reviving, so I run out and try and get him. Despite hitting him with 2 bursts from my M16, he kills me.
Death Count: 5
I spawn back our rally point, then run to the SL who's about 100 yards away. As soon as I get to him he's shot. I revive him, then start to heal, and another member 20 feet away is shot. I heal the SL enough until he can survive for a minute or two without bleeding to death, then run out and revive the other dude. Run back, I get shot.
Death Count: 6
(I'd actually died 8 times by this point, all in really stupid ways, but I can't remember the others).
Spawn. Right, fuck this medic ****, I've barely seen a single enemy so far and I've been wasted over and over.
Support guy, run into the Construction site from the south (on my own, the rest of my squad are pinned behind the wall to the west. I run in and take out the 3 enemies who're pinning down my squad. Yes! Finally doing well.... teamkilled.... "Sorry." Yeah, yeah, it happens, forgive.
Death count: 9
Spawn again (the game is almost over by this time), run into the flag, which we've neutralised by this time, and immediately get shot again, by another team-mate. "Sorry". Sigh, forgive.
Death count: 10
End of the round.
If you can't be arsed reading that and want a summary, I got repeatedly owned (by the enemy and my own team) and had a generally crappy game.
Now I want to hear what your worst and most unlucky rounds were like.
Sorry for yet another ultra long post, I find it hard to stop typing.
