I think my best gun battle occured in a really laggy game I had on the 5 objectives map. I was running about all over the place, doing my usual scout/sniper/smg thing and I saw E being capped. I headed in that direction and as I got close, another sniper appeared in front of me. I instantly dropped and started charging the weapon, trying to steady the sway for the kill. He turns, sees me, LAG, next thing he's crouched and aiming at me, but it's too late. 1 shot later he's down and I'm continuing on to E, knowing he'll be respawning soon.
Arriving at E I quickly work on hacking it. Once it's at about 70% I see a blob on the radar. I know it's him coming to get me. Frantically I'm mentally willing my hack to finish before he returns and shoots me in the back and I barely finish the hack and move backwards before a hail of smg bullets slams into the console. What proceeded was an intense 1 on 1 shootout between the two of us in front of E, using the small walls in front of it as cover as we each took up positions at either end. We both fired short bursts then dived into cover, then popped out the other side before ducking back in, whittling each others shields and armour down. At some point he started throwing nades, so I started throwing them too. We both ran out and tried to escape our respective blasts, ran past each other, and swapped places. The firefight continued. I think at this point I was winning slightly, but my next few shots missed and then I needed to reload, so I ducked in and crouched. I knew he was going to start recharging soon, so I needed to end this firefight quickly.
I also saw then that another sniper was firing at somebody else in the distance behind this guy, currently oblivious to the fight we were having 20 feet away. If he turned and joined I knew I wouldn't survive. I had to end this now. I jumped out to the right and ran down towards this guy as he moved to the other side. Somehow he hadn't seen me leave my cover and I was suddenly flanking him. A burst of fire later and he was finally down, but now the other sniper had realised what was happening and was coming to get me too. I sprinted back into cover and fired wildly as I took a few more hits, then saw the sniper turn the other way and run. I think he was trying to get some distance on me so he could snipe. I switched to the sniper again and took aim, fired, LAG, another kill.
Throughout the entire thing I had terrible lag and barely even saw the final kill. To finish it off, E then turned blue. And this was just one of several such fights I had in the same game, each as tense and hard fought, including one where I encountered 2 assaults on an open plain and somehow managed to out-sprint and survive the both of them, healing back to full health. |
