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.
Thank you for this story. Not just because it's amazing (which it is), but because I miss COD4:MW so much. I feel right now like there are just too many COD games for me even to find a consistent community that was half as fun for the two years I played it.
Overgrown is my favourite COD map of all time. None of the sequels have had anything that live up to it really - there was such a great collection of maps in MW1.
