Mercs 7 recap

So after a week of sipping beers and working i have finally got my ass around to write about my experiance of Mercs 7.

In short: the world had gone to hell and stargate gates and nuclear weapons from an other world had blasted us to the past and right now it's very post-apocalytic ruleset that applies.
So what was the objektive of all the worlds still remaining armys was to get ahold of the last natural resources.

Well...who where we? We were the Russians! From about 250 players at the game the russians were a total of 18. So we knew already in the begining that trying to take resources was not a good idea since we were not to hide things in the terrain but only in our base. And since our base was in the southwest corner we could only be attacked from a 90degree angel..and the americans base was about 200 meters to the north. And they were about 100 players.

So our main objektive was to sabotage as much as we could. And that we did. Already after 2 minutes of gamestart me and my group moved in to the woods to take it easy and se how the enemy moves. After about 9 minutes into the game we were attacked by american scouttroops. So our base got overrun pretty fast. But me and my group was about 5 meters in from the treeline and watched Danishcamo troops scout were the sound came from.

After that we keept a low profile and just counted how many went past our field of view. About 3 hours later in the game we decided to take some ground and sneaked into a field of newplanted tree which was very thick. The others had a 2 AKs and a RPK to pull through the shrubbery, but i had my little M4 pistol so that i had no problem to walk around in there.

The PMC forces heard us and tried to ambush us. But since we were first in the jungle of trees noone tried to get in to confront us. One was hiding but was taken out by the only girl in our squad (and the whole game, tihihihi). We then realized that we had to move further in because they wouldn't try to push inwards since 1 was taken out. A few minutes later we ran into some SEALs (not the american specops but a name for the rest of europes forces like denmark etc.). They were quite scared since they didn't want to go in to our realm either. So we had a choise: Go back and encounter a very experienced PMC force or try to take out a couple of SEALs. So we fired away on one poor soul that was checking the treeline. after that a short but very intence firefight took place.

We were taken out and went to respawn. But remember that we are dressed in blue. That's right. The Russian Bekas shadow pattern. And we were sneaking around in broad daylight inside a very green field of trees. So even if our choise of camo wasn't in the most tactical sense our sneaking skills were quite good.

After that we took some time of and ate a real sturdy supper so that we didn't get hungry later on. We were dead so that it wouldn't count as slacking time ;) When we came back it started to get dark so we only tried to slowly take us further in to the gaming area. And by this time we were friends with the Swedish and PMC fraction and were just to go to their compund to say hi and see how they had it. But since we don't have any nightoptics we were in the dark...litterally.

But we thought if we just walk on the road without any holdbacks noone would shoot. We were wrong and our pointman got shot out in a blink of an eye. We later learned that about 98% of the SEALs had nightoptics and about 35% of the americans...so we were stuck between a rock and a hard place. We turned in and sleept the whole night instead. Even if our camo is at it's best when the sun is going down it's no match for nightoptics.

In the morning we were walking back into the gamearea and when we sttod at our corner of the map we went in to our base and got shot out directly. Obviously the americans had already taken it over. fun..not!

So we respawn and rush towards the compound in the middle of the map. Remember that the Swedes and PMC were now our friends? Well we join up with them to hold back the americans and SEALs. We succeeded and the game was over.



To sum up the game the russians cleared 100% of their objectives. And this game wasn't to kill as much as possible for our team but to learn how we work as a group. So if you played with us and were quite unhappy not seeing us that much we are sorry but we need to know what we have to work on as a team and not how good we work in a faction.



The good and the bad:

The good: I had loads of fun. Can't say it's specificly because of something but in the total i had real good fun.

The bad:
The russians were forgotten. Al others had tents from the begining and all we got was a white plastic shelter that wasn't big enough for 18 people. Even if we asked in the begining if there was a tent or just a piece of plastic they said tent. Thankfully one of the planners heard our complaints and rushed out a tent for us. And if they thought that there were few russians, there will be less or none at all next time.
Our base placing was maybe not the best thoughtout. I mean. We were stuck between the 2 largest factions.

But still we had fun. So get out and play!

And ohyea...if someone is driving bad and not focused on the road..a newpaper will help...
