What gives you hope for this game? Enough hope to keep playing, I mean. Is it a person? A group of people? A place? An event? What is it?
For me, it was a single match of Domination. Let me explain.
I was in my own squad, as I often times do, since I have that luck where I join a squad that has a leader that doesn't use the OB when we have the points. We were getting beat down badly. They were holding A from the beginning and it was looking dim for us. One of our comrades made it to the point- one of many attempts, unfortunately- and was hacking. Naturally, I was moving in to give what support I could. Gallentean using his race's medium armor, armor tanking. I was rather slow, but not as slow as a heavy.
I met two enemies down the way, the two of them standing at the end of the pathway. Them, my comrade, and me. I opened fire on them. Two Assault wearing users. I could tell they had invested skill into shields and armor. They returned fire, of course. The ally succeeds in hacking and runs out- shredded. I could tell he was wearing light by how quickly he was snuffed. My shield goes out in an instant. Fifty percent armor. It was looking rough. So very rough. At this point, I was just buying time. If I could just buy enough time for the upload, my death won't be in vain. Right?
Twenty-five percent armor. They both move out of cover. Moving in for the kill.
Next thing I realize, two heavies come up behind me and the roar of HMG from the two of them was sweet music. A scout had moved around and flanked the enemy from the rear. Both of my almost-killers are utterly destroyed. "Upload complete." was heard just moments after. I was emotional. Honestly, I was.
The cherry on top for me, the thing that really did it for me, was a logistic wearing coming up to me and patching my armor.
This moment- this single short moment- fuels hope from me for this game.
If I hadn't of been there, the hack would of more than likely failed. If the trio that became my heroes weren't there, I would of surely fell there. One soldier can change the tide of battle, comrades. Every one of us counts for the fight. Have faith.
By the way, we won that game. Every time they even tried the hack, we'd swarm in.
What gives you hope?

You can take me out of New Eden, but you'll never take New Eden out of me.
Here, here.
I usually keep to space, but it's the small moments down on the planets that keep bringing me back to the ground, regardless of kill or death, of win or loss. |
