[AAR] So I found a grappling hook leading to a tall building...

...and decided to climb it. What did I find up top?

-2 rifleman insurgents.
-1 RPG insurgent.
-3 collaborators.
-3 french hens
-2 turtle doves

And a paartridge in a peeear tree- oh wait, no. I did really find the first 3 things though.
I took out my pistol and killed the 3 armed guys, then arrested 2 of the civvies. The last civvie started climbing back down the rope, so I pressed G and let him fall to his death. :mrgreen:

My satisfaction was through the roof. (I did get sniped though afterwards, while I was semi-AFK in my celebration.... :-? )

Deploy a grappling hook, then pick up the hook while an enemy is climbing/descending on it, causing them to fall to their death.

Neat!
(Thanks for bringing that topic to my attention, by the way. I might make a list of some of those and see if I can try to get 'em. Although I'm not a fan of the way Achievements are handled these days, I'll take any form of replay value I can.)

I wish I had a video of that or something, I really do...
Wasn't hard to get the kills themselves, the 2 riflemen were perched over the ledge, completely oblivious to me having climbed up, even though the collaborators started panicking and jumping around as soon as I got onto the roof.

The RPG guy, however, almost got in a double KO, because he ran up behind me (I didn't even notice him at first, in my haste) and let a round loose in fear, but luckily it vent past my head and into the abyss.

Arresting the civvies wasn't all that easy though, since they continued jumping around like crazy. Got the first one in 3 tries, then the second one tried to revive one of the riflemen but he only opened himself up for an easy arrest. During all that, I saw the third civvie start climbing down the rope, so as soon as I was done I ran over to the grappling hook and pressed G. I looked over the edge and sure enough he was lying on the ground dead. :mrgreen:

This all happened Sunday night on the ]H[ Clan's server. Can't remember which map, I'm not familiar with the names yet. The building in question was one of those really tall, what I presume to be a Hotel buildings. Not quite sure how they got the grappling hook all the way up there either. Climbing it took a good 30 seconds, and there were no ladders on this one.

ask =]H[= Whatthehell for the battlerecorder if you want it. you just need the date/time of the round. the BR link on the site is messed up.

battlerecorder is a recording of the battle (usually automatic) that you can view later ;)

I see, thanks. I'll keep that in mind in the future! Next time something important happens I'll just jot down the exact time. What do I use to view these recordings by the way? Do they come with their own .exe's or something? Or do I use the console to start one up?

when you log into pr the battle recorder area is in the barracks. the game plays the file, you just gotta put it in the right place.
