[AAR] Were we in a Project Reality or a film?

[Fred843]

The map was Battle for Quiling and me and my mate Sugnat had decided to make sniper/spotter squad, thinking we'd have a nice quiet game spotting some enemy's and taking out a few officers and medics. We were wrong.

Well to be fair it did start off that way, we got dropped off by helo into a good position and managed to get some good recon on an enemy FOB and armour positions, but thats where the calm ended. Lying prone on our ridge we heard some enemy armour pull up, Sugnat crawled up to look and we found that a Chinese tank had decided to setup just 100m N of us. While trying to resist the urge to run away screaming like little girls the driver of the tank got out and started using his binocs to spot. Knowing this mabye our only chance I turned my rifle onto the drive and brought him down, luckily the tank decided it wasnt safe and RTBd.

But that wasnt the end. Later on we were overwatching a FOB and TOW with infantry swarming all over it, after marking both and managing to bring down the TOW gunner and officer we decided it was time to relocate. Unfortunatly for us the infantry had decided to call in a little brid to to help search for us, we managed to stay hidden for a couple of minutes but suddenly the TOW fires a round that lands just in front of us. We ran. Then the little bird wheeled round and started strafing the ground alongside us. Sprinting for my life i look behind me only to see Sugnat mown down by the incoming chopper which continues over the a ridge out of sight. I dive into a bush and pray that the infantry havn't seen where i went while the LB returns and strafes the ground at random. Meanwhile Sugnat gets on the radio and scrables a jet to come a take out the LB. Next thing i can hear,'SSSSEEAAAWWWW' 'BOOOOMMMM', LB down.

I jump out of my bush and start to run to a nearby FOB to regroup with Sugnat. While we'd been doing all this our team's inf had capped the objective and so Sugnat called us a chinook to get us to our next hiding place. The helo flies in but the LZ is too full of trees and he lands on a nearby road. With the enemy Inf from the FOB still in the area we run to the chopper but 200m away we hear bullets whizzing past, we throw smoke but its too late and Sugnat goes down in a whirl of lead screaming 'LEAVE ME! GET TO THE CHOPPER!' i sprint the last few meters to the chopper and thought im shot on the way, manage to RTB in one piece.

Back at base we get to grips with te heart stopping action the just occured and wonder if that really was Project Reality we'd been playing or if we'd strayed into some kind of Shooter/Behind Enemy Lines medley, but no, it was just another amazing Project Reality experiece. So thanks to all the developers and mappers for making this amazing mod and Sugnat, the amazing spotter.

Now that's an AAR. Great story

[TomDackery]

Quick question, did he get a thick Austrian accent when he shouted "Get to the chopper" perchance? I've heard stories about such things happening.

Next thing i can hear,'SSSSEEAAAWWWW' 'BOOOOMMMM', LB down.

You're welcome.

[SUGNAT]

You're welcome.

Cheers for that L4gi and no it wasn't a scream in an Austrian Accent.....I was to busy dodging bullets from Infantry on the hill

[Fred843]

You're welcome.

Thank L4gi!! i was cowering a bush at the time and the missile hitting was the only thing i heard

[myles]

It kind of reminded me of the sniper mission in COD4 where you have to kill zakeha. Anyway did th srver you played on have battle recorder so we can watch it sounded awsome

[Fred843]
