But from the third game onwards we were on top form! The 4th game was a beauty for me. The game is 15 minutes long and is set in and around a purpose built fort. First off we attacked the fort for 15 minutes which we didn’t do too bad at and then when that game was over it was time to defend it. Defending it is always a bit trickier because 1) You’re restricted to the four walls of the fort and can’t go out and 2) the attacking team, once shot, are allowed back in the game at 5 and 10 minute intervals.
So if somebody gets shot on the 4th minute they can come back in the game a minute later and the defending team get no rest at all. I positioned myself in a tower where I could see the front entrance to the fort, and the back. It was a really good spot. As the game went on I was popping them off one by one and doing a real good job, I felt like rambo! I managed to shoot about 8 people but the problem was that after shooting the majority of the other team I was a marked man!
Approximately 12 minutes of the game had passed and about 5 people had started making their way to the fort with one thing in mind - to shoot the sh*t out of me! I was happily crouched in my tower waiting for the next victim and then I thought I heard a bit of banging going on beneath me, under the tower. I left it a few seconds and then I stood up slightly, looked down and all I saw was this gun pointing straight at me through the gap in the wood. That was it; I jumped up and just started shooting and was getting severely pummelled myself. You’re not supposed to shoot people at less than 2 metres and this was as good as point-blank! To be fair though, I did fire the first shot. I saw the gun and that was it, I wasn’t going to look at it and wait to be shot!
