My friend and were playing the Modern Warefare 2 Spec Ops mission Homeland Security on Veteran. We were on the final wave, holed up in the gas station and had taken out all enemy infantry and one helicopter, leaving us with just one more chopper, an APC and the Predator Drone to deal with.
Unlucky for us we had ran out of RPG's, had 7 sniper rounds left and only had one bit of semtex. Determined not to give up my friend hatched an all or nothing plan to run over the restaurant next door to distract the helicopter giving me a chance empty the rest of my sniper rifle into it's cockpit and hopefully bring it down. By then I was to have drawn the fire of the APC giving him a chance to run out from the alley beside the restaurant and stick it with semtex.
My friend ran to the next building and indeed drew the fire of the helicopter giving me my cue to unleash hell. Running into the forecourt I took aim and shot the living shit out of the cockpit with my M21, and with a bit of luck the helicopter started spewing smoke and began it's spinny crash to the ground.
However my friends plan didn't incorporate the Predator Drone which by now had seen me and fired a missile ready to blow me to kingdom come, while at the same time the APC had come into view and was now shooting me into a fine paste. It didn't look good.
That's when the strangest thing happened...
Instead of burying itself in my soft mushy face the Predator Missile glanced the side of the out of control helicopter sending it on a new trajectory, straight into the now stationary APC.
My friend and I were then treated to the victory screen, still in disbelief. My friend then uttered the name of this thread.
"... That just happened."
Hope someone took the time to read this; I sort of got carried away
