So this thread came around after a lengthy multiplayer match on BBC2 (Battlefield Game, Not the channel
) and I was playing Rush, on a map I can't quite remember. Let me give you the scenario, we were the defenders of some M-Coms (?) and we were being hammered by sniper and machine gunners, a couple of us went to try and flank them as I ran from cover to cover, 2 men were gunned down in the process, and the other 2 decided that they would run distraction while I went and tried to flank them as best as I could. So I continued on, alone it became disturbingly quiet except for the sounds of ambient combat and the ocasional mortar shelling then I was crushed with the realisation that I was alone. As I was approachhing the nest I noticed some movement I stayed still completely dead as they moved around me and one of them approached me. I thought I was dead for sure so I had my gun at the ready but just then a sniper on my team shot one of his mates and they went running for cover and tried to push forward (now you maybe wondering why my squad mates didn't spawn on me well we tried that OH so many times but the enemy figured it out and protected themselves and their flanks so we thought that they might not notice one of us missing.) So I went to flank and gunned them down the team moved forward to secure the building as it was a great vantage point (almost game breaking) we met up and split while some us stayed to defend and the rest went to try and occupy the enemy. Me and my buddy moved into the town my friend looked out a window and BAM was hit by a tank shell, ripping the house apart and killing him, I was far away enough to just survive so I ran. Then there was the crushing realisation as I was alone again running out of ammo I fell back to the building where I noticed my comrades had been killed by mortar srikes and sniper fire then the message came up on our screen that they had planted the bomb we all ran to try and defuse the bomb I had to run like hell as the rest of my team had already spawned so I ran. Then I got ambused used up the rest of my ammo turned a corner and *BLAM* a pistol bullet between the eyes. This was scary because of the atmosphere it creates it is usually best to play with friends as you have more of an attachment to them and I doubt you can have an experience like this with random people but it came close at a couple of points to be fair. However what I think this game has over say COD *shiver* is that it has atmosphere, the gun sounds, the shellshock etc it is all in the audio.
So have you had a similar experience where you were genuinly scared where you thought you wouldn't?
