Went back to edit typos, lost sight of lobby, don't know level or team. Go with assault class – safe choice. We take lead. Hiding behind dumpster to type this.

Wrists hurt, more players join lobby, playing district – Iraq I think. Loadout. Feel heartbeat, saliva increase. Getting into rhythm, harder to type. First kill in alleyway, Iraqi insurgent. We play Marines. UAV online. 2 kills blur together then one has suicide pack, blows up and ends my streak. Airstrike on way 0 friendly. I don't hear. Someone RPGs me, misses, grenades, misses, I kill him, his backup shotguns me. Car explodes at respawn, then ACOG Scorpioned. Whole street empty, enemy UAV airborne, we move out, 3 together. Snipers in the bazar? Just mannequins. See someone jump from window. No shot, waste ammo, position giveaway, tagged by backup. First knife kill by fountain. Stop to write, killed. Worth it.
