So erm... the attack went well last night.

We spent about half an hour flying about and getting bits and bobs to go and attack.

I crashed my Helicopter all by myself, the 2 guys in the hummvee got killed and then our other chum was swiftly snipered out in the trees about a minute later....

Not. such. a. sucessful. trip.

Got enough money for a Safe now so I need to find a suitable building to call home.

Derek, your base is epic btw.

It actually went a bit better than that. I did grenade his base from the little mission heli and blew up his SUV. Skullfux and Liam went back again later with a chainsaw cut their way in. They got all the gear back, stole their chainsaw and wrecked the base and all their vehicles.

Today I had no money again, I spent about 20,000,000 yesterday. I took off in my heli and found an Osprey immediately within 4km of the base so I flew it to the NEAF to sell. Another one was parked about 800m from NEAF so that got sold too. Just as I sold the second one I came under fire from 2 people so I managed to leg it with over 400,000 on me and survived.

I am going to buy 2 more armed humvees so we can go out on patrols in them.

We were just discussing this a minute ago actually. We have loads of DMR variants and ammo which is a great gun for missions and easily replaceable. If you and Rob want to go off and do some its good practice for you and you can work on your humanity and getting stuff from missions.

Wow, sounds like a plan! I'll be home about 6. Plan is to find one of those small barns and put a garage door on each side.

How do you craft and then deploy the doors? Are the locks seperate?

You guys should switch to the CCG epoch server we play on, our group could use some new people to shoot at smile

Also incase anyone missed it, the standalone experimental servers now have a V3S (Truck) that you can drive so it shouldn't be too long before people start to switch from Epoch etc to the standalone.

Problem is, I'm really enjoying the fact that I couldn't give 2 sts if I die? There are guns everywhere! Plus I can build bases smile

Standalone is ridiculously tedious in comparison. The only thing better IMO is the menu system.
+ the rain is soul destroying, it's allllllways raining and the number of times I've died through cold or running out of food because I don't want to get wet and die is annoying!

Wait until you see the castle later, Skullfux has been busy. I will try and get a screenshot later. Added screenshots.

Arrgghh. Joined the CCG EU6 server the other night, only played a couple of hours.

Tonight though headed to a mission and a guy in his 350z stopped not even a 100 metres in front of me. So killed him and took his gun, ammo and key for the car, any way the server restarted a few minutes later and I had lost the keys?? I thought if you got them then they were yours....

If you didn't log out before the restart you can lose all the gear in your main inventory.

Good fun wasn't it? Thats why its really important to pick up all vehicle ammo whenever you find it.

The guy in the Huey who we shot down suicided his Mi17 into the Blackhawk later on apparently. They also got into the base and removed one sandbag, so I think we are definitely up on this one as we still have their chainsaw.

Yet again, I die just as we clear a mission hehe

Saying that, it's a good thing - made me go to bed as it was 1:30am and I was tucking into my 2nd bottle of wine.

Start again from the coast tonight smile
