Thanks for doing this Haruky! Happy New Year. I'll take medal of honor if that's still going please.

In terms of a memorable story: All of GC! There has been so many great times I can't really pick out one, from the actual Battledays to RO2, to the training sessions with Gonzo and Sao... It's all been great. :clap: :clap: :clap:

@bock: hehe. my steam backlog is also out of control. I think I've played maybe 10% of my steam library. :c

Also, I guess I should also share my favorite GC story while we're at it.

It's honestly got to be BF3C3 back when I was the general in PRIDe vs DARK. Do any of you remember the Gulf of Oman match? The one where it came down to like 1 or 2 tickets each for both sides. The map was split into two. The beach and the city. DARK held the city with 2 flags. PRIDe held the beach with 2 flags. It was a stand still with people taking cover and trying not to get shot. And everyone kept saying, DO NOT RESPAWN!!!! It was absolutely intense.

In the end, Flummi took our Transport Chopper and everyone on PRIDe gathered near the bridge to attempt a bum rush at the city. Flummi flew overhead with his gunner and that was our cue. Smoke grenades went out and an assembly of PRIDe soldiers rushed at the flag. Wild shooting happened and I got killed in the first few seconds, but eventually, I started seeing the flag tick down. It kept ticking until it turned blue and DARK's last ticket went to zero.

That, has to be my favorite moment of GC ever.

My second most favorite? Sitting in the rocket arty and racking up 40 kills over the course of one game. :mrgreen:

Good story Haruky, that was awesome.

One of my favorites is actually not battlefield related and isn't so much a single moment but more like a month long event.

Who else remembers GC's adventures in Rust? Those were good times of harvesting materials, defending against raids, counter raiding, scrambling to get c4 from an airdrop, and 10 people following Haruky yelling 'hello friend!'. Those were good times when you really felt like a community. I'm looking forward to doing that again.

I remember it vividly playing on DARK side.

Luckily we have it recorded for posterity :) :

Oh man! I had so much fun with you guys playing that. Standing watch in the watchtowers of "Rome" with my bolt action rifle. I still remember the feeling of taking one shot at someone who was trying to shoot at us. Waiting it out in intense anticipation providing cover watching the ridge in case he poked his head out again, just for you guys to move up carefully and find I had apparently actually killed him with my one shot.

For a game that wasn't done, that game was incredibly awesome. I am still a bit disappointed, I had to take a break from it as it was literally consuming my free time at the time. Had the urge to play again but everyone had stopped playing already :( and I didn't feel like playing alone.

@seraphim: How could I forget?? I've still been keeping a close eye on the Rust subreddit and watching its progress. The experimental branch is coming along nicely and it looks like they're making quick progress. Granted, from the looks of it, it's going to take another few months for it to be fully operational, but once it's done, it looks like it will be an absolute blast. We need to get people in on it again. I don't think I have had so much fun and anticipation playing a game before. Those mad rushes toward Airdrops, defending against raiders, The Great Migration, all of this really made for one of my most memorable gaming experiences ever... I hope to experience this again sometime soon!

@Mongo: Yes! Of course! Check your PM!

@Gwynzer: You too! Check your PM!

@Razy: Oh my... Brings back memories. Just looking at 2:45 minute mark makes me giddy. Look at the mini-map and all those blue arrows rush in at once. :lol:

@Wild_Kard: Rome... Rome sweet Rome. It was a fun, but futile idea. That last stand-off was absolutely gripping. Game seriously got my heart pumping too hard at times. And like you, my life was consumed as well. I don't think I've ever invested so much into a video game before. I hope that the newest update comes out soon so we can get everyone together once again. May the GC Mob live forever!
