you must be the butt-hurt individual who went and whined to an admin when he got shot for not watching a window three feet behind him. that house had at least three rooms, a grenade kills one room. that leaves at LEAST two rooms for people to come from to refill that killed room. there were i think four guys in that house, do you think they were all in that one room? your entry team lacked the situational awareness to watch the possible incoming fire vectors, and it got you killed. man the f**k up and deal with it. this is airsoft, you aren't dead you just respawn.
i bet if you find yourself in the same situation in the future, you'll be watching those windows like a goddamn hawk, wont you? example is the school of mankind my friend, and we shall learn at no other. if i were you, i would simply consider myself lucky that this was not a real combat action and i was allowed to actually learn something without an actual bullet in the back.
No, it was not I who was shot but I cringed for him from afar. No, the people at the door weren't being aware of their surroundings. I was at least 40 feet away and watching the road toward the Korean spawn. I'm quite surprised that you'd react as strongly as you are if you didn't feel some remorse. I think everyone learned a bit more about some teams at this game.
Would I have done differently if I were in that house? I don't know. Did I fire short bursts to the least painful area on people I had the drop on? Yes. I fired a burst at a guy looking to wrong direction in the grass. His rifle was at ready across his chest. Instead of shooting him in a potentially dangerous place like the neck and face I went for a 3 round burst to the body. He looked at me and shot me and said the hits were on his gun and didn't count. Did I lose some respect for people? Yes. I also gained respect for some people.
The CIA operative and I approached each other through the grass but parlayed when it was obvious we would have caused hurt to each other. I don't know who he is but I'd play with him again in any game.
Voicing a complaint to an admin isn't getting bent or "butt-hurt". If someone were to be injured from another player then we'd all lose out. A more serious injury on that field would have meant no more games for any of us for a long time.
I do worry in the games I've been at in OR because there are so many people who only wear shooting glasses. They don't seal around the eyes and it's quite possible at the range of engagement in the MOUT that a BB could slide in from the side and take out an eye. Before you rail me for that yes, I realize it's a risk we all take when we're on the field. Yes I will pass up shots if I think I could take away someone's sight.
Be greatful that this isn't combat? This is a game, if I wanted to be shot at I'd live in Oakland. Of course we respawn, it is just a game. This is airsoft, it's a game of honor and sportsmanship. Any act that denigrates any of us makes the game less enjoyable.
I will restate my first comment. Shooting someone in the top of the head from 3 feet away is a tool move when his left side was also fully exposed.
I'm not trying to start a flame war. This was a great game overall. T1T, Terror, Chickenhawk, and Dream Weaver have put on fun games and I'll drive 4 hours each way to make them that I can. That doesn't mean that tthere are moments that I wouldn't have changed.
Stitched me right along the inner arm and hand. It's all good though, my teammate snap shot the other two.
