So, we've all seen it in movies, the one guy in the squad sacrifices himself so his mates can make it out alive, but I was wondering if you guys had stories of you doing this?
Here's my most recent example:
Yesterday I was playing on Korengal Valley as a USA Mountineer, and I was freaking invaluable for my squad, that map is great!
Anyway, we were around the west side of the map, right next to the false land bridge (You know, the one that almost goes across the river the whole way, then suddenly drops off right before the other side

I jump down off the building and throw a rope over the wall, my squadmates scrambling over before I do. One of the medics throws smoke towards the opposite end of the wall, then everyone starts swimming while I cover, capping one guy with an AK who comes running through the smoke. Once the first guy is across he covers me as I swim, but I'm out of sprint (from jumping over a 3 foot wall

I then take a deep breath and pop up in time to see an INS scout and two of his buddies use a rope to get on top of the very roof I had been on across the river. I take aim, squeeze, and drop one. It then becomes a game of supression, I rip through my magazine, firing rounds into walls to keep enemies heads down, but there's atleast 5 Insurgents and I can't keep them all supressed all the time. AK fire starts ripping over my head and into the wall I'm taking cover behind. I empty my magazine, hearing the dull *Click* of the bolt locking back. I quickly duck down behind the wall and swap magazines. "One extra left" I think as I slap the bolt release, chambering a round as I move a few feet to my left. I pop back up as one INS is jumping over a wall across the river, trying to get in the water to swim across. I quickly drop him, then see his buddy peeking through a hole to the right, I fire at him, getting a coveted headshot just as the last two INS open up at me again. In supression mode I focus on the muzzle flashes, firing my M4 as fast as I can, just wanting them to keep their heads down, every second another few meters I buy my squad. By this time we got intel, and it's only about 120 meters to my north. I empty my magazine, duck down and reload again. I'm down to my last 30 rounds and the INS I had previously killed are rejoining their group. I'm prepared to just sit at the corner of my wall and let the INS start crossing before I fire when Grossi says, "OK, rally down, start looking for the cache."
I've done it, I can fall back and slip away into the bush if I'm stealthy. I move away from the wall into the small compound of houses, intending to head through it, then up the road to link up with my squad away from the rally. As I turn a corner of the building close to the wall, the "receiving ammo" icon pops up and I get another mag of 5.56mm. I stop, and it flashes again, another magazine. I go back around the corner, take out my Benelli M4, and breach the door. There, in the corner, is the cache, RPG and PKM still on it. "Found the cache" I say, a little smile on my face, still getting ammunition from it. I flip my rifle to burst, sight in, and empty a full mag into the cache. As it catches fire I run out the door and into the woods to link up, the sound of the cache's explosion like triumphant fireworks behind me.
Course, about 3 minutes later the squad of INS I had been holding off came across the river and we had another fight, but that's another story that's not as dramatic, but still good.
