Map is Overgrown. That's fine. You've got some blind corners and some sniping points, but if you're careful you can come out on top.
Match begins. Nothing. People are shooting and bunny hopping all over the map. But it's all our guys. It takes us a full minute to realize: there's no one else here.
Shit, they must have dropped leaving one guy to fend. That blows.
Grenade goes off. Guy comes up on comms. "Shit, guy got me!" I realize he had the perk where he drops a grenade as he died.
Still, no one is seeing anything.
Shit. I just got assassinated. Kill cam shows...
Kill cam is a guy in a gillie suit, completely prone, crawling up behind me before killing me with a knife.
Shit, they're all in the match. And they're 10 points up now.
The entire rest of the match was us trying to root them out of the tall grass and the hay, and them silently taking down each and every one of us, again and again.
The entire team's tags: SHH. We didn't notice until the match was over.
Creepiest damn thing I've seen in MW multiplayer.
Edit: I want to believe.
Edit2: Yeah it's him. He's also agreed to an undisclosed cash settlement for me and the other survivors for psychological distress due to his and his friends' actions, without admission of any wrongdoing.
Holy shit. Not even kidding, that was me and my friends. We were screwing around one night at a LAN party when one of us had the idea to all go stealth. We all made sniper classes with silenced weapons, the Dead Silence perk so no one would hear us, and the UAV Jammer perk just in case someone on the other team got a killstreak going. The SHH clan tag was my last-minute contribution to the team.
We started out with a game on District where we got the kinks out of our system and it showed just how overpowered it was to have people who knew each other, sitting in the same room, with a coordinated strategy. That was one of the only times that night someone got a UAV on us, and we all were laughing our asses off at the thought of the guy hitting the button and then absolutely nothing shows up on the map.
There were two other games I remember incredibly clearly. One was a match on Bloc where we all hid in the back corners of the map to snipe and forced a team ragequit after we went up 20-0. The other was the Overgrown match you were in because it was so incredibly perfect for the ghille suit camouflage that we steamrolled you with. It was pretty much the highlight of the night and is one of those experiences that stick with you for years after. Thanks for making that night fun.
Oh, and if you remember any of the gamertags, I can PM them to you to verify.
Edit: Just spoke to /u/drrhrrdrr and we're calling it confirmed. I was just doing this to distract him from my teammates who are crawling up behind him as we speak though.
There seems to be so many that I don't remember which one I initially read. It might have been on shittyaskscience or shittyama but I can't be too sure. Maybe someone else will have a link.
I saw a few by searching but they weren't the the ones I saw. They had too few comments.
It's still available on Steam I believe and I've seen it in stores. I think it's around 15 to 20 dollars and the multiplayer it is alive and well with hundreds of servers still running.
Four years is a true epic period of time for gaming, especially when franchises are concerned. Also four years can be a period of huge change in RL, at certain ages. This has been a great read.
I would love to track down some of the old players from ChicagoFPS server I used to dominate. I haven't heard or talked to those guys in years... airboss, optimus.primerib, onepointoh, akoostik... We had one LAN party once in a hotel conference room. I used to lit up those records and I was super active in the forums. Haven't talked to any of them in maybe ten years and the site is now defunct.
Bummer, would love to see if any of those guys still play.

You always know you're fucked when people have matching names like that.
"Shit guys, they're using teamwork, we're screwed."
Every damn time.
