Gaming story: Defending Helms Deep
13 years ago
General
That's right I defended Helms Deep, singlehandedly...except it Uruk-hai...and I had guns...BUT IT WAS AWESOME!
So yesterday I was bored being stuck at my Tech College and I was trying to find something to do. Now the tech college has network programming and computer programming so they are a hell of a lot smarter at network management which means I can't play multiplayer on games like Far Cry 3 which I would love to. But then I looked on the Steam Workshop for Killing Floor and I saw Helms Deep. I downloaded it and later I was standing on the walls of Helms Deep. That's where I got into character.
"Get the wounded into the sanctum," I shouted to the people of Rohan, "And bar the door, don't let anyone in. These are not uruk-hai any more."
The white wizard turned towards me and, "We had our fight but now its yours, I have tools for you laid all over the walls." He reached into his robe and pulled out an AK-47 and cracked a small smile "and something tells me that this belongs to you. The trader is to the right of the doors and down the stairs," he gestured with the staff.
As a steampunk commando, I had everything I needed to get me through but when I reached the upper wall I found a couple pipe bombs to begin with. I laid them down; one to the side of the stairs within the upper wall, and one on top of the lower wall.
As I fought through all the clots, bloats and gorefasts, I knew that this won't be too difficult. Then the next wave started, I switched to an M4 and a Tommy Gun. Funny how the resident evil 4 trader ended up in Middle Earth but that's a different story. But I noticed that things were growing slightly difficult when the husks arrived, these bad boys shot back at you, not arrows liek the uruk-hai, or bullets like myself, but fireballs! That and the stalkers gave me a surprise, the invisible women came up behind me as I picked off the zeds on the lower wall. I turned around and wasted them with the tommy gun.
I fought through a few more waves upgrading my arsenal, then came the first flesh pound came along. I was in a bad place, he came through the upper wall and I was empty on both my Mk42b and my FAL after taking down a scrake. As I turned around I had the "OH ****!" moment as I tried to finish reloading. The I saw an explosion and a cloud of blood...the pipe bomb.
Okay, out of the story it was fun, the pipebomb moment was actually a godsend and I'll remember that. But taking down patriarch wasn't too bad, it was normal, but next time I'll get the 'more players' mutator on so I can have more difficult waves, that way I utilize the entire map. Anyways, have fun, I'll try and post more gaming shorts.
