Subject: Wednesday Night Awesome

Tried for like 5 minutes to get on TG to no avail...

Accidentally went to HOG while I was turbo refreshing TG , MEC side, set up the same FOB/AA... got like one shot off on enemy Huey... then some fucktarded admin kicks me for "AFK" which was convenient, since it effectively dropped all bay aa coverage. I posted feedback about it, since it was bullshit. Took me 10 minutes to log back in.

We won that map handily, moved to USMC side. Joined a KICK ASS squad lead by a vg guy. I was mainly HAT.

Smoked an MTLB, it was splendelicious - squad was happy. Drakenaline rush. ANOTHER MTLB comes up later, smoke screen making it a BITCH to see... I am waiting the eternity for the HAT kit to settle in, and I hear a vehicle coming up the street from the west (we were right by North City on that east-west road that looks out to the containers on the docks)

So, this vehicle is HAULING ass toward us, on a gut feeling I say fuck the MTLB and spin left to see an enemy logi like 30 feet from me preparing to run me down. My dispersion indicator is 100 feet wide but I have no choice, I say fuck it and let it rip... BOOM, screen goes red/black and I am like FUCK! But it was either the backblast or more likely the explosion at point blank range... I was bleeding, but alive. I run back to the crate to reload HAT, MTLB hauls into the courtyard and sees me, I dive behind the crate and get smoked... I think (hope) it was enemy infantry and/or a grenade and not somehow getting shot through the box.

I missed the next HAT shot, it was on the Beast and it was a high speed high deflection shot with maybe 50% settle inthat I only took because our TOW gunner was newbsauce and missed a cherry head-on shot at it. Ah well.

We had trouble for awhile after this with getting back together as our SL (who was great, by the way) got way ahead of us, and was then a little upset that we weren't immediately with him.

I see this happen all the time, SLs push forward into contested territory and set a move marker, and the entire squad is left to gagglefuck their way to it, with a high probability of getting picked off on the way. As I had to reload the HAT, it delayed me even more (SLs need to understand that - especially on a map like Muttrah City - kits like the HAT are worthless without ammo, and plan accordingly).

We got picked off several times while we were spread out, although on one occasion I did hammerfist a BTR that was idling - gun turret wasn't moving and he was hiding in an alleyway but hanging out too far. HATs decimate anything the MEC has on Muttracity.

We finally got back together and stayed that way for the most part. I was able to iron site ~15 enemies, 7 or 8 of which ended up as kills, as well as the 1 - 2 per armor kill.

We had two amazing squads, but the team as a whole was meh at best. We retained parity or +1 cap on the map for the majority of the time, but we still lost by 40 tickets due to the players on our team getting assets trashed and meat grindering into the enemies waiting arms. Our squad was by far and away #1, and I was just under the SL in the #2 slot, which is always cool.

On one occasion, we were huey'd to the far southwest neighborhood, and enemies were pretty close. A guy from another squad jumps off the helo and just hauls ass down the street - it was an almost perfect rendition of the scene from the new Star Trek with the red shirt who can't WAIT to kick some Romulan arse.

He runs forward into the street, and I see him take fire from an alley blocked to my view. I notice he has a fucking HAT kit. He goes fucking prone and faces the alley, firing immediately, no cover or concealment. I cover the corner as best I could, but the enemy waxes his dumb ass almost instantly. So, an enemy rounds the corner, I smoke him, his friend drills me once and retreats, an ally moves up to assist me (I was in the street behind our crate) and we both take the dude down. Medic patches me up, and 15 seconds later I retrieve the HAT from the dilrod, and tell my squad mate to just leave him so he can ponder his actions.

Map changed, and I was put on the USMC side again and didn't feel like playing, so I ditched. It was pretty late, but I was on FIYAHHHH! TG was full, and both =H= servers were full. I finally got in to Kokan on CIA (Kokan and Hookers or some shit)and it was a clusterfuck, although I got a bunch of kills. Completely fucktarded of me to even join another server as I was well intoxicated at this point, and the next thing you know it's 0315.

Anyway, all in all a fucking awesome night.
