You had only training, I have real action! Har!
Alright, fired up Joint Operations:Typhoon Rising and joined a battle. The objective: Capture as many bases as you can. The difficulty: Enemies! Plenty of 'em ('only' 30 - there are sessions where both teams have 75 players)!
Soo...spawned in the front line bunker (indonesian rebel) and looked for a ride. The guy here piloting the Bo-105 picked me up for a ride into the LZ.
Hey,wrong direction,pal! The blue base,the blue base!!
Alright, inserted near the opponent base, proving the superiority of the AK-47 (the green stuff in the outer right half of the shot is grass - FYI).
Didn't go too well, got spotted and, well...sorry Sarge!
Next try: A boat - with a grenade launcher. Harrrrr!
Didn't work,too. Someone decided to pull the old pirate trick - enter the boad and stab the crew.
Okay, base defense. Less dangerous, but still exciting, especially with an enemy AH-6 coming in. At least there was an empty .50cal machine gun around.
Got killed - again. I'm sick of it! I need real hardware! Heyheyhooo! A some lonely BTRs! Rock and roll!
Those things are rolling and swimming fortresses equipped with 30mm cannons. Incredibly effective - as long as there's no LAW around.
In spite of the heat of the battle there's still room for some tranquility and beauty...
The result of half an hour of action? A draw. Both parties had nothing better to do than besieging the opponent's base. Offensive actions? Nearly none.
But I've had a lot of fun nevertheless.
