It took 10 years but tonight, magic happened.
10 years of play time in this game and tonight, hands down the best session I’ve had.
Load up after a long week. Few beers, ready to kick back and just decompress, forget the world for a few hours before reality sets back in the following day.
Tonight wouldn’t be just another one of those usual nights.
All night I was with the same squad. A motley crew of randoms from around the world. All at a high skill level and most importantly, all with comms. All giving call outs and attack plans. Something you almost NEVER come across in 2026 unless you’re in a clan.
We dominated the top 5 spots on our team every game for 3 hours. Working together EXACTLY how this game was intended. The perfect balance of classes.
Eventually got to the point of having actual REAL conversation alongside PLAYING THE FUCKING OBJECTIVE together. Watching the Zeppelin fall from the sky together in awe, regardless of the fact we’ve all seen it a thousand times.
Tonight, if nothing else was a reminder that there truly are no games like this. The last of a class of games that people just don’t appreciate anymore. As I write this, a further reminder that one day the servers of this great game will close and the curtains drawn on (most definitely) the best FPS of all time. .
A truly special night. A truly special game.
P.S. if you hadn’t guessed - a few beers turned in to many.
You know the ‘many’ where you just turn in to a fucking demon, where you hit everything you shoot at, just on the cusp of complete potato aim.
Beer❤️
