Wormy played Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising

I got in a co-op game with Grinn. It was pretty sweet.


Mission 1:
We were dropped off at the LZ, and we made a slow approach to the target radar installation. It was grinn, myself, and two numb nuts recruits (AI). We

moved forward cautiously and engaged a couple of riflemen easily.

Once we closed on the radar itself, we had a small firefight with about 5 more riflemen and a support gunner. It got a little crazy with us all not

being able to see the targets, but I moved to teh side, and this drew the attention of the support gunner, who grinn was then able to take out.

We finished clearing that radar and blew it with some C4. From that vantage point, we could look down on the town that our forces were assaulting, and we could assist the firefight with some overwatch. We also got the authority to call in a howitzer barrage. It was a sight to be hold.

After the smoke cleared, and we finished off a couple more stragglers, the town was considered friendly, and we headed back toward the LZ. Thats when our chopper pilot warned us that a jeep was inbound on the road, and we took cover. The jeep driver crazily charged up the hill towards us and ended up careening off a small ledge. When we went down to investigate the driver was dead, but a couple passengers had lived, and we had to take care of them.

With that little stunt over with, we continued on to the LZ, and engaged two more guys who had clearly been guarding some barns in the area. We boarded the chopper successfully and dusted off mission success.

We were ready to start Mission 2, when Grinn realied he could switch squadmates, and tried to go Heavy Gunner. At that point his game crashed, and for whatever reason, he was not able to connect to my game again.

Grinn ended up hosting, and since we had the save on my machine, we just played it all over again. Though the second time through, we tried for the secondary objectives of blowing up some remote SAM sites. This entailed: two commandeered jeeps, me sneaking RIGHT past two chineese soldiers who ended up taking out everyone but me, learning how to call for the medic, our jeep (now down to one... the one with the mounted MG) getting utterly blasted by a BMP (think Stryker), me running out of SAW ammo, me sealing the kit from Winters, one of our AI comrades who Grinn accidentaly killed point blank, and eventually a failed attempt to sneak into the last sam site, and runnig smack into a squad and getting trounced.

All in all... except for the crash, it was a fricking awesome good time.

We can't wait for next time. When we get to do the first mission again.. though this time, it will be primary targets only :)
