My first battle was January 22nd, I had just downloaded the game overnight and was eager to play it. I login and go into battle after acquainting myself with some of the basic controls. I go into battle and I'm dropped onto Manus Peak on the southern team., I run up to the trapezoid building next to B and see a couple of reds, in what I would later discover were medium frames, coming toward me from C.
After a few seconds (and reloads) I down my targets, at first I was overjoyed that my first engagement went in my favor. Then I heard a dull WHOOMP noise and saw lights come from the sky near my position. I immediately decide this can't be a good thing and try to run under the trapezoid, but I was too far and the first shot from the warbarge was a direct kill. I look at the kill feed and notice I was the only one killed by the strange light from space called a "Precision Strike".
I decide to put it under the investigate later file and spawn back in at B, and see a peculiar sight, a very fat suit was walking around with a yellow light connecting him to another player. "Neat" I think and walk over to the strangely shaped object marked "supply depot." Suddenly I hear a binging noise and look over to see a somewhat smaller suit than my own running in circles around the heavy from earlier, the logi was nowhere to be seen, I open fire, hoping to help the heavy, but I had no skill points into weapons yet and was new besides so most of my shots miss.
Now I'm worried, I just saw a suit with far more health than me get downed faster than I had killed the 2 medium frames earlier. I try to backpedal away from the scout and end up running into the truck next to the depot. At this point the scout looks over and notices me and runs for cover inside the trapezoid as I was still well out of his range. I change my course and run as fast as I can away from the scout, unfortunately, "away from the scout" meant "towards the enemies base at A"
As I approach the base constantly checking behind me for any sign of the speedy killer I notice an enemy medium frame off on one of the spires, when I aim at him I see the tag Assault-sniper, but I also notice that it says I have a 20% effectiveness against him, I approach and the number gets higher so I walk up to him and shoot him in the head a bit and he dies. Suddenly my health drops and I lose all my shields, I realize I have fallen into a trap, but in my panic I run off the top of the spire and die from the fall.
"Darn" I think, and spawn back at B again. Only to see the scout once again dancing around the heavy, but this time I see the logi also trying to shoot the scout. I run up and fire a few shots myself and manage to get the kill. Again I hear a WHOOMP noise, but this time I'm ready and already hiding under the trapezoid building. As I'm hiding though, the killfeed says that only enemies were killed this time. Happy to have help, rather than give it I count out 7 kills from the strike.
The match finally ends and I was glad that it went so well, I came in 5th place on my team with the 150 warpoints I got from my kills.
And that was my first match, no video but I remember it well for some reason. In hindsight it was probably for the best that it wasn't a full match, in both player count and time. It let me ease into the game a bit more.
Who says you can't kill in style?
Fear the tribes.
