we joined a round of conquest on arica harbor. me and my friend joe were on one team, and my other two friends ben and pat were on the other. we were triple capped and the score was 50 tickets us 250 them. joe and i made a push to point A, capped A while the other team battled / baseraped at C, then we pushed to B. we got about half way through burning B flag when ben and pat came over and contested the burn.
i was in one of the upper houses overlooking B. i see pat moving around in one of the lower houses and take a shot at him. im using the NS2000 with slugs and the rex. i hit him, he starts yelling "oshi", and i start lining up another shot. he starts shooting back with an mg36. i peg him again, still dont kill him. he manages to drop me right before i fell behind cover. i see hes running body armor. joe immediately revives me, i get up, and slug pat again. hes keeps shooting. i pull the rex out, land 5 of my 6 shots on him while dancing in and out of cover. he still doesnt go down, and by now ive now ive figured out that hes sitting on a health pack. i pull my ns2k back out and slug him with my last shot. still no kill. he's now come dangerously close to killing me several times, and the only reason i survived was joe's health box.
So i reload, jump down into B, and storm pat's house. by now, more of the enemy has fallen back to B. as im running into the house, i run straight into 4 guys. i slug 2 of them, knife a third, and rex a 4th. ben comes up behind me and shoots me. i spawn back in, finish capping B, then move to C. C is capped with relative ease.
now we're sitting at ~40 tickets, with them 3 capped, and theyre at around 240 tickets. we did not baserape them though, and they fought back hard. we tussled over flags for a while until we were at 13 tickets and they were at 130. i tell joe to "revive everything you see". they start taking B, i shoot two guys running up from the lower construction area, but i get sniped by a third. joe revives me, but dies prompty after. i take his kit (which is also a shotgun), shoot the guy that killed him, rez him, and take back B.
8 tickets us, 50 tickets them. now im thinking "holy shit we might actually do this" and we continue tussling over flags. by now, im rezing everything like crazy. the ticket counts get down to about 5 and 10. then 4 and 7, then 3 and 5. every now and then i hear one of our guys die, and my heart skips a beat, then i hear one of our medics yell "CLEAR" and see the ticket number go back up.
0 us, 1 them. i see two guys coming up the stairs at point B. slug one in the face. 0 - 0. absolutely dripping sweat now, the second guy lights me up as i line up the shot on him. joe is yelling "oh shit oh shit" as he gets shot" and ben is yelling "come on COME ON I SEE YOU" as hes about to kill another of my team mates. holding my breath now, just as i begin clicking and hear the boom of my neostead, the screen fades to black. i have no idea if my last shot actually went off before ben killed his target, or if joe died. i hadent heard the ding sound of achieving a kill.
a second or so later, "your team won!" pops up as the victory music plays, and everyone in the voice call yells "OOOOOHHHHHHHH". we had overcome a 200 ticket gap and won by half a pubic hair. i had to change my shirt afterwards, but god damn. THAT is the kind of round i play this game for. just recalling that game while typing that out got me all pumped up.
