I too was honored to be present for the completion of this mission. Having been slaughtered here countless times in the past, it was nice to show those capitalist pigs who's boss!
We started by having an unusually successful HALO drop. I believe only one player landed outside the Drop Zone, and he was actually closer to the rally point than we were. Upon reaching our designated positions, the ambush was initiated with RPG fire on an enemy Avenger by longtime. Reports indicate the weapon system malfunctioned causing it to miss it's target
(had the avenger been destroyed, it would have likely resulted in a complete mission failure).
The errant rocket attack commenced a brief firefight. Nightwarp, Lq Snake, and Mr Drunk engaged multiple enemy infantry patrols while I overran an enemy bunker and turned its machine gun on the men it had been placed to protect, neutralizing the occupants of the enemy Avenger and firing on other enemy forces. When the dust had settled, an eerie calm fell over the outpost and we found we had not prevailed unscathed, for a comrade had fallen (Longtime). However, there was no time for grieving as we still had multiple objectives requiring completion.
I believe it was nightwarp who risked life and limb to place a satchel charge on the radio tower, and upon him returning to our location we came under enemy fire from behind. A few bursts of machine gun fire and multiple grenades later, the attackers were dealt with. Alas, another friend had fallen (Mr Drunk).
At this time we decided to commandeer the enemy Avenger, and not a moment too soon. An enemy patrol appeared from the woods to our north and were cut down where they stood. We then proceeded to the secondary objective and encountered several enemy soldiers fleeing the area. Not taking a liking to cowardice, they were engaged and destroyed. Shortly thereafter, the second enemy Avenger was destroyed with stinger missiles form the commandeered vehicle. After clearing the remaining troops, we found an empty M240 Humvee and transferred into that, leaving explosives in the stolen Avenger. We then headed for the main road and ex-filtration, enjoying a satchel detonation in our rear-view mirror.
On our way to the extraction area, we encountered a region with unknown activity along the main road. As we eased into view, we noticed an enemy Humvee and neutralized the gunner and driver. As we sped through the town (hoping it to be clear) we were engaged by machine gun fire and what was believed to be a LAV. It being too late to turn back now, I put the pedal to the floorboard and we flew through town exchanging fire and somehow avoiding certain death. We broke off the main road and through a clearing, opting to stay in our vehicle to push through the forest before the enemy could catch up.
Without looking back, we jumped out of the stolen Humvee as it slid to a stop, hopped in our rubber dinghies and sped towards the extraction zone. Upon eying our watches, we then realized we had completed all objectives with time to spare.
Although I was unable to capture any screens of the mission itself, we did get this of the end screen to confirm completion.
