Playing Operation Flashpoint online with a custom Black Ops map. I had never played online before and all these guys were pros, also if you died you didnt respawn in this map. As soon as the level started I saw the chinook parked opposite us (which was ment to be our transport to the main island to begin the mission) and I jumped into the pilot seat. Everyone else (all 9 of them) had to take the gunner seats and 'ride in the back' seats. We take off, I was pretty good at flying a chinook and was overly confident.
I even took pauses while flying to type "Look ma, no hands." into the team speak box. I got replies like "Oh dear god is Tycell flying?" "yes" "were fucked." I joked and laughed with these guys who were taking the level rather seriously comming out with comments like "Anyone want popcorn?" And "the in flight movie is" each time I stoped flying to type the chinook would start to veer off and nose dive or just loose altitude, all of them were screaming at me just to shut up and "fly the damn thing!".
Eventually we got to the first waypoint, it was a mountain like area and at the bottom was a large russian base full of gaurds, armour, jeeps, trucks all manned. We had to land ontop of the mountain undetected and sneak down into the base, plant charges and blow up as much of the base as possible (preferably the tanks first as we had no AT weapons at the start). Once most of the base was gone and the base (of course) was on high alert we had to kill the remaining enemy forces, get back into the chinook and get away before three Hinds came allong to re enforce the enemy base.
I dropped the altitude of the chinook fast so that we would land hard on the mountain trying to show off my piloting skills to the guys who were playing. The chinook hit the ground fine, but we were off to the side of the landing spot and the first waypoint, you can only get out of vehicles if they are stopped (or you can bail, but that 99% of the time results in death). So I jump out when were still a few feet from the ground (the second the option was availible) I run over to the waypoint and tag it with a satisfying little ping.
I turn around to the funniest fucking thing I have ever seen, becauase I jumped out of the chinook while it was still just above the ground it had strafed backwards, and because it was moving none of the guys could get out, it hit the floor (the engine turns off when the pilot bails) and started to roll on its wheels down the mountain. All of the other 8 guys in the chinook (one had jumped with me) could only sit back and watch from third person view as they all rolled, turned and then barrle rolled (wrecking the chinook and our only way out) all the way down the mountainside and into the enemy camp.
They rolled right over an enemy Shirka (AA tank) and into an Ammo Ural (ammo truck) which was parked next to a building, at which point the truck and the chinook with all 8 passengers exploded setting the base alarm off. Moments later me and the other guy who were stood at the top of the hill watching in pure histerics (well at least I was) as all this unfolded were insta killed by a shot from and enemy T80. Never have I seen somthing so fucking funny as that, the abuse I was getting as they were rolling down the hill was amazing, I was kicked from the server seconds after dying.
