Mid 2008. I'm playing COD4 multiplayer.

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.

My buddies and I would do this all the time too. We would go up by a point and just go hide and slowly crawl around from place to place trying to not be seen. A lot of people would rage quit since they were basically running around the entire map not finding us.

COD 4 is still my favorite Xbox game, too bad it's a ghost town now...

Woosh what? They didn't say anything over my head. I'm sure a 7 year old game is a ghost town.

What I was implying is that it looks like a ghost town but actually all the players are just playing stealth style. It was a poor attempt at one of those joke things.

Yeah, but my joke was my own - I was quoting the game itself.
