yeah, that was the most fun thing ever. they could have done something with depot, I mean there are tanks, maybe they could have made it work or something and just have no machine gun turret? or only machine gun turret idk
i remember that tale as old as time, died many times, got trauma many times, but it was the best enemy and the best way to grind. it was a Littlebird with dual MGs right?
I remember playing when the game had only the factory, the Russian base and the port, and you bought guns using XP n shit. Oh and zombies, except their models weren’t complete.
The older older days when your EXP was desplayed as a rank, EXP unlocks and no purchase unlocks, constant raiding of a docks base and factory... all before the A-10
2:02 Man you can't forget K. P, he was literally first friendly quest npc of brm5. More often known for his guitar quest, players still go to his house to recover memories they had
Started playing BRM5 around the beginning of Operation Viper. I remember commanding massive lobbies, rping around, quite the fun times. I do miss the old game, Trying to go back to it nowadays doesn’t spark that same charm for me anymore. But nevertheless, it is still a very fun game .
You sum up how the game is now perfectly. I've been playing since Operation Shadow Raid (2019) and played actively uptill Viper-Nightfall, but now the game doesnt have that same essence or spark anymore. I know it sounds weird, but the remodel of the cars and helicopters to be ultra-realistic meshes instead of the original style of the game kinda put me off as well.
Yeah I remeber, I have all the badges too but never got Plat. I started 2 months before Shadow Raid. I remeber spawning and seeing an A10 flying around. And spending hours for the chest under the sea after watching a YT tutorial. Lisitng to the morse code after. This was when the SCAR-H was the starter gun I remeber. I remember this one city that was only inhabited by zombies and there was a secret in there. Some of my best memories after shadow raid were halloween event doing the zombie by that little valley area near airbase. We would park blackhawks with miniguns and shoot the swarms, or someone would land the A10 there and spam it. Grinded for the Aug, M50, Flannel, and patches. And I got the C7A2 on my first ever succesful raid where I got carried by guys on discord who were trying for hours to get it but never did. But I got my first try despite dying when protetcing the desert thingy. This is like the most sentimental video game I have ever played.
Used to have 100 magazines for a bunch of guns too. Beta-C mags for most 5.56 weapons and also the AK-74 and AK-105. You could make an LMG in essence. Old FOB was pretty basic looking back, no vehicle customisation options. You'd simply spawn a vehicle with pre-set features. Old Quarry had a fairly simple mine segment that didn't descend below ground the way the current one does, but was also used by RLF/POD. You could hunt for trucks or pallets to steal from minor enemy sites across the map, and returning them to a place in the FOB rewarded you exp and money for collection. Aircraft carrier had spawners around Viper, you could get a heli from there and fly around. Loads of weapon stats were unlike today and very few guns could one tap on headshots iirc. The AK-105 may have been a 2-tap to the torso though. Old enemies would roll or use martial arts when in combat. Mountain involved seizing black duffel bags and carrying them to requisitions for a reward. Bunker used to be always shut during Viper. Might have been open earlier though. Sochraina used to be an empty city with no functions during Viper but maybe it had a role before. There was a basement under one of the apartments there.
I remember old FOB though I didn't really play brm5 alot back then, but I can still remember stealing a person's vehicle, and of course being an idiot and getting wrecked in el chara.
Before any major updates were added to BRM5, a couple of my buddies that I met ingame formed a group called Alpha Squad. Whenever we joined everyone was trying to go on base raids with us, seeing as how we were coordinated enough to carry newbies and let them have the kills. One famous thing I always did were death runs against the helicopter boss in the base with the warehouses, the helicopter's minigun was so slow at trying to lead me that if I just kept running it wouldn't hit me at all. It gave everyone the chance to shoot at it and take it down. Man I miss the old BRM5 servers. Everyone was just a bunch of noobs trying to unlock the Blackhawk (was essentially the sign of prestige like the A10 today), everybody didn't even wear camo and opted for the full black loadout with the gas mask, and it was all basically roleplay with an immersive world. I wish they'd release some sort of legacy build so people can relive those moments.
I remember that one heli mission outside of el chars where you could steal a heli if you wanted to with supplies, and I’d just fly it around. Fun times
I remember starting the game sometime in November 2019 sometime during Operation's Shadow Raid and Aftermath on my MacBook, it was the only game I could play since it was roblox and I fell in love with it. The factory and docks from 2019 were always fun to raid with the whole server and before the Blackhawks had miniguns I would slap a 100 round drum on the m4 and pretend. Still playing it now and I'm so hyped for GEN 4. Banger video, thanks for this.
I remember there was a hidden AUG weapon and a gas mask as a cosmetic you could collect. I think you skipped those, but other than that, this is beautiful.
I played in the first few weeks brm5 went officially public or before the operations. To think it’s been 5-6 years and this game is still up and running is just wild. I’m glad i’ve stuck around to see it grown but i do miss the old days.
K.P was by far my favorite. I even found a glitch at El chara to farm exp. Also remember the time I was about to buy an a10 but it was removed that exact day. Pretty sure factions weren't much of a thing back then. I basically only played brm5 back in 20-21. Still one of the best games in my opinion!
They also removed drum mags from the game when resurgence came around..... even though in a real world, they aren't that great, but if you really want to spew out more lead like the M249 (200 round capacity...) can, boom! Drum Mags since the m249 wasn't added in the game!
I started playing in Operation Viper. Possibly one of the best operations to have come. It's what started me on roblox and was one of my first games to play. I made many friends off of that game that I will never forget.
Started playing during operation shadow raid. some more forgotten thigs that I didn't see probably going to be some obscure things aswell back in operation daybreak: for a few weeks the helicopters where mouse controlled the old training rooms, and durring operation shadow raid - daybreak there where vents that you could crawl through. the flare glitch ifykyk the old a-10 was locked in 1st person and had rudder control. (Q and E) you could actually swim in the water operation shadow raid - jaguar APC - night fall the ATC tower showed you the codes for aircraft if you went inside. ill keep editing this if i remember anymore
i was a pilot in back time, would be a non-lethal pilot and transport people to el-chara then wait until if any operator requests a extraction or transportation.
Man I still remember when we had a city with a factory and zombies.. time flies... On the bright side, the game is doing well and we are innovating so I don't think I would want to go back
The enemy outpost that spawned in little birds and trucks with resources u could get back to the FOB were such a good grinding method back in viper, i miss those afternoons after school, where me and one of my friends would grind using that and when we tried getting the C7A2, just great memories of when things were simpler.
I first found this game back in 2020 - 2021. Probably tried it out during those times but for some technical reasons, could not play. So I just left it untouched until a while later when I first got into the open world and was blown away by all the features and stuff in there. I still remember hopping into a random guy's 4x4, tell him to take me wherever he wanted-which we ended up in El Chara. I was new to the game at that time, started to grind slowly, trying to get used to the game, found a growing faction, joined them, got to a significant position until eventually just a year later when everything started to die down. Many things happened, people came and go, real life problems, etc., I believe when I first joined this game, it has been in the middle or the late part of the peak factions' era. The real golden era. Just a shame that now everything was a memory. At least beautiful ones.
Ngl I first started playing Brm5 during its late viper days. I missed those day. But I can’t cry abt it. At least the new phoenix update might give that viper feel. I hope.
I remember playing brm5 when it was OLD OLD so much so that it still had the flat baseplate and the invincible a10 and the recruit to general ranking system
El Chara was my most favorite place in the entirety of BRM5, and forever will be. Im so glad i got to experience so much memories before the update RIP El Chara
I was an og, and always liked the game. Started like before viper operation, i also farmed for a month to get the XM2010. Was like 17k lol. I remember the C7A2 event where you had to do an operation against npcs, i always ran out of time or just died. But i couldn't play open world since my pc lagged too much. Then i didnt get a pc until 2023 when i game back to brm5
I really miss the old brm5... amazing memories... best friends i met... best things they had... but now... everything is gone... i wish they add those back... and i miss the m50 gas mask... that one best thing ever...
The first version of the game with zombies and enemies with 100% accuracy. Everyone would go to the factory in order to defend it from incoming waves of enemies.
I must be one of the only few oldest players in BRM5, most of you do not remember the volcano map we used to play on, the M249 we could use, the non-NVG era and instead relying on a flashlight's flare.
Dr. Lakewell had The Administrator uniform on him, its S-19's uniform (old gameloaded project), also this uniforms is personal uniform of gnar and thunder
I remember playing this game when op viper first released. I remember playing a lot w my old faction the DSOU although not that big it was fun having skirmishes and joint patrols with other factions like dauntless, ADF, UAF, etc. Many good memories were made and I hoped it stayed simple as it is.
All i remember is that i joined the Shadow Raid, i forgot almost alot of details but i do remember there was being a zombie in the middle of the city of Ronograd i think Played for 3 more operations, quit, came back yesterday after hearing the new operation release, cant wait, unifying everybody just for the sake of fun and tactical playstyle, this game will be forever and ALWAYS the favourite game i played that is above Entry Point.
If you were the before operations existed in the og og map then you remeber the glithces with zombies stacking on top of each other. Also the chess that hidden in the ocean behind the volcano that took hours for me to find. I got all the secrets involving Kazmir bur didnt progress quick enough to get Platnium before operation aftermath hapeened. I remeber grinding one outpost that was near the airbase solo, using a grenade which had a really far throw range and using a m16a2 and a deagle. Then i would either reset or fight the paratroopers/little bird boss. Also in the city factory where we used to raid and defend, that would become a PVP map that became discontiuned. This is all about a month or two before the first ever operation, operation shadowraid, when I first started. My best memories were off the old map before I think it was night fall where we had the island. Before that we just had the city with zombies and we used to call them Zulus. The docks and some outposts.
I started playing BRM5 when it was still a zombie game, and everyone was wondering what was behind the bunker’s doors (although via glitching and assumptions, we all sorta guessed it was a nuke) If memory serves correctly, once you had enough EXP, you’d get stars. And these stars could be traded in for higher and higher military ranks. Getting a higher rank refreshed your exp back to 0. That was later replaced with just 5 stars, which was also very cool. Now, we have just have exp and 50 levels I still remember the days when upon clearing a compound, you’d he airdropped supplies to fend off the next three waves of enemies. I also vaguely remember people being able to put the supply pellets on their little bird, and use it as a place to carry more people to and from places Of course, vehicles used to be free, and I remember grinding the mountain base to collect bags… Man, I wish they kept some features… Collecting bags was cool and rewarding. Supplies scattered around the bunker was also very helpful. Wish we still had friendly NPCs to talk to, but I do like that we can spawn and some of the locations we liberate… Wish we could see civilians wandering the streets and giving quests once we’ve liberated their town… Some of them were really cool! Like finding a secret underground complex near the main city… And supposedly their missions had a chance to give you free weapon attachments and uniforms
Don't forget that there were rumors that Dr. Lakewell was with the Foundation, and yeah I mean the SCP Foundation If you went behind him, there was a SCP Foundation poster/sign hidden between the medical stuff, with a note from a "Dr. Gemios"
You can go even further back before the new map to the old map with the airbase. There was a factory and some other locations the helicopter boss fight at the factory was so fun. I have probably over 700 hours in this game So many good memories with this game. Sad to see this games downfall.
2019 brm5 is just built different Edit: am talking when there were zombies in ronogard city and old docks and the vast map it was such a great experience
old brm5 was easy and fun to grind but the newer ones is still good. PLayed from beta(?)(maybe alpha, the spawn was a single aircraft hanger back in 2019 or so) until now but honestly i kinda miss the old versions too, i hope the devs will pay homage on the older versions
i dont really remember something well but there was like a tiny factory in a city 5 years ago or something thats all i remember everyone used to go there.
the enemy A10 that would counterattack after taking Ronograd was actually trauma-inducing I barely played New Dawn, only a couple of times with friends, died all the time. good times, died several times oh and, the Ronograd counterattacks with SAM trucks, good times, died many times flying a helicopter Old helicopter exit system, you simply just jumped out, not dramatically exit oh, and the old 4x4 APC that you got at 5 stars
have fun reading this and if anyone here is a plat rank, it'll bring memories back before nightfall : this was the old map with a volcano there was no cash or money, everything was unlocked through exp and reset each star there was a m249, but it was unlocked at like 30 000 exp, aka you won't use it until 3 star and 30 000 exp the scar was the basic weapon back then, even if the M16 had the same stats (the scar had a glitch and only hit like half the time tho) people had a little bio showing up when you hover them that has a rank (depending on how high the guy was on completing its rank) and stars (it would just show "PLATINIUM RANK" once reached the 6th star) and people had a huge respect towards people with stars, that was a natural serious rp, that was perfect wich leads me to talk about helicopters wich always has been strange as hell to pilot in that time, it was done using the mouse and a clic to go where the mouse is pointing, that simply (and yes, people with a heli always have been the squad leader) the ground vehicules (jeep/humvee) were a pain to use fast acceleration, slow braking, lightweight, so if you were to go offroad, getting back was super hard (the road was super high, for some reasons) oh and, there was not shift lock when in 3rd person you could go around a corner, let the tip of your gun through, rotate just the camera and click on heads now, about the map and the enemies the biggest, and probably the one that have the most record, the naval base it was a huge base with a lot of open spaces and enemies, it was also the only place with sewers we could use to get around with stealth the factory : unlike its name, it actually was a city that has a ammunition depot it was well known for being the place the noobs went to (it was right in front of the spawn base), as well as a good grinding spot the enemies spawned all around the lower court of the storage, we had infinite ammo resuply inside, and could get a medkit at the nearby police station (and it has 2 zombie spawns in the rest of the city, wich means not more than 2 at a time) the contamined city : even smaller than factory, it only had one item (to get a badge) and a couple zombies (and maybe a super small enemy outpost nearby, I can't rumember) blackhawk crash site : it was isolated from mlst things... and it was just a blackhawk crashed in the middle of a small village.... that's it other coumpounds : there also were like 3 or 4 different enemy camps here and there, tho, they did't had much different stuff between them... like one has a helipad, another was at the edge of the map, etc... enemies : only 2 types : russian guys and zombies russians only spawned in predefined spots, and would move the only exeption was the naval, as the russian backup was deployed with paras, follow a straight line to their position, before standing still no matter what the zombies were just a bunch of slow moving, weak and useless guys, dealing almost no damage, having no health, and giving a symbolic 5 exp oh and, lets not forget our beloved A-10! it was only unlocked after the 6th star platinium rank (I never could use it back then)
@dastealthoperator4138 well, there was no money, only exp, that automatically unlocks things for free but yeah it was like 30k so everyone just took the stars and could start using it at like 4th star
holy shit, the soundtrack just hit me back to a core memory. I used to grind the fuck out of the raid mode, i did it 127 times. I got the c7a2, i dont know if the weapon is still avaible but anyways, that shit carried me to platinum rank
5:14 i feel bad for the OGs that played the halloween even 2020 and got the m50 gas mask that one patch and the C7A2 bc all those things just dont exist expet the C7A2 witch you can buy
I met the people gc that Im in right now on brm5 late viper and early resurgence, I started really late nightfall and stopped playing but returned mid viper and kept dying on raid...
I remember vaguely the day i start play the brm5 i think it was cool. While i dont remember what the operation called but i remember there use to be a resupply depot in the police station I love this game especially the el chara mission with the wave it was super fun grinding it with friend. The new dawn mission. Now i dont play it as much as back then operations resurgence really didnt have the charm like other operation I hope with the new update i would love this game again
Most people forgot that before operation viper, we had a miniboss heli with dual miniguns at el chara, it was fun as hell back then.
It was still present in viper for a while
yeah, that was the most fun thing ever. they could have done something with depot, I mean there are tanks, maybe they could have made it work or something and just have no machine gun turret? or only machine gun turret idk
fr
i remember that tale as old as time, died many times, got trauma many times, but it was the best enemy and the best way to grind.
it was a Littlebird with dual MGs right?
@@weirdman5529 yes, it had 2
El Chara is the one that I will never forget. I've had a lot of memories of that place.
The helicopter boss where i dump over hundreds rounds of Ak 😆
el chara was the 2nd coming of factory the most populated raid areas of the game
@@n.h.tphwoc and if we were lucky, we could stole their heli to go back to base lol
@robertraymond348 truely, haha, but i would like to have a white phosphor nvg that makes my eye more comfortable
El Chara was the place man
I remember when the spawn was just a couple tents, and i hiked across the entire map because I didn't know where vehicle spawn was, very good times
I remember my first ever mission, we all rappelled out from the chinook and hiked up the mountain heading to the mountain base, good times.
or that time when they readded the a10 and changed the controls
When i First Played the spawn was 3 Hangars and a Runway on the front while being inside a Forest
Side aim while NVG... God i loved that feature, realistic night vision aiming
And ir strobe,looks like devs step back.
I started playing BRM 5 during Operation Viper, to this day I still miss KP and the UNJTF Commander.
danm bro u responded just as he uplouded

@@orandegellogaming4793 i forgot what operation that thing was i just remember it was old old with badges
Man i forgor to cover the pvp maps. The gym, cabin, factory… OG things
@@Artpanzer1118 bro gimme back cabin 😭
Ngl I first started playing Brm5 during its late viper days. I missed those day. But I can’t cry abt it. At least the new phoenix update might give that viper feel. I hope.
it's gonna be better than resurgence, ik that much lol
I remember playing brm5 when it was OLD OLD so much so that it still had the flat baseplate and the invincible a10 and the recruit to general ranking system
oh god I remeber that ranking
It would like go up to general and resest after each star
I remember always filling up Blackhawks with players, and we would farm Mountain for bags until we got 5 stars. I miss those days.
Man this is so nostalgic, I'm grateful I got to 5 stars back during the nostalgic days right before the A10 was removed.
Holy hell, this bring back memories, I've been playing BRM5 during Viper, before viper actually, had loads of fun with factions n' stuff. Good times.
Honestly, i was confused when they got rid of the old map, i still miss it, but oh well.
The legacy BRM5 was so much better than the current BRM5 🙏
El Chara was my most favorite place in the entirety of BRM5, and forever will be. Im so glad i got to experience so much memories before the update
RIP El Chara
0:29 bring NVG Alt ADS back 😭😭😭😭😭
play this since march 2019... have lots of fun.
thank you brm5
And theres yet another new operation coming out soon, im excited but boy do i miss the old days
enemy attack helo on desert is one of the stuff i will never forget
I was an og, and always liked the game. Started like before viper operation, i also farmed for a month to get the XM2010. Was like 17k lol. I remember the C7A2 event where you had to do an operation against npcs, i always ran out of time or just died. But i couldn't play open world since my pc lagged too much. Then i didnt get a pc until 2023 when i game back to brm5
I really miss the old brm5... amazing memories... best friends i met... best things they had... but now... everything is gone... i wish they add those back... and i miss the m50 gas mask... that one best thing ever...
The first version of the game with zombies and enemies with 100% accuracy. Everyone would go to the factory in order to defend it from incoming waves of enemies.
Operation Viper vet here
Damn I really do miss free vehicles, the Commander and KP
I can’t believe brm5 is going back to its roots and lore of brm2
I will never forget operation viper i played this game since 2019 I was a 6th grade that day, but now i can still feel the nostalgia kicking in😢
I must be one of the only few oldest players in BRM5, most of you do not remember the volcano map we used to play on, the M249 we could use, the non-NVG era and instead relying on a flashlight's flare.
Dr. Lakewell had The Administrator uniform on him, its S-19's uniform (old gameloaded project), also this uniforms is personal uniform of gnar and thunder
BRING BACK DESERT ITS A PART OF MY CORE MEMORYS IN THE GAME😭😭
how could have you forgor about the glichy jeep! it was so funny to drive it around xD
I remember playing this game when op viper first released. I remember playing a lot w my old faction the DSOU although not that big it was fun having skirmishes and joint patrols with other factions like dauntless, ADF, UAF, etc. Many good memories were made and I hoped it stayed simple as it is.
The rpg operators have returned, and they brought their cousin the mortar operator
Never even seen em cus the ai can shoot through cars wherever i go so i cant even travel properly
All i remember is that i joined the Shadow Raid, i forgot almost alot of details but i do remember there was being a zombie in the middle of the city of Ronograd i think
Played for 3 more operations, quit, came back yesterday after hearing the new operation release, cant wait, unifying everybody just for the sake of fun and tactical playstyle, this game will be forever and ALWAYS the favourite game i played that is above Entry Point.
If you were the before operations existed in the og og map then you remeber the glithces with zombies stacking on top of each other. Also the chess that hidden in the ocean behind the volcano that took hours for me to find. I got all the secrets involving Kazmir bur didnt progress quick enough to get Platnium before operation aftermath hapeened. I remeber grinding one outpost that was near the airbase solo, using a grenade which had a really far throw range and using a m16a2 and a deagle. Then i would either reset or fight the paratroopers/little bird boss.
Also in the city factory where we used to raid and defend, that would become a PVP map that became discontiuned.
This is all about a month or two before the first ever operation, operation shadowraid, when I first started. My best memories were off the old map before I think it was night fall where we had the island. Before that we just had the city with zombies and we used to call them Zulus. The docks and some outposts.
5:06 I used to grind raid mode to get guns at first.. it was amazing.. I miss it..
I remember the old Jeeps in viper, they would glitch out completely, but they where still useable
I started playing BRM5 when it was still a zombie game, and everyone was wondering what was behind the bunker’s doors (although via glitching and assumptions, we all sorta guessed it was a nuke)
If memory serves correctly, once you had enough EXP, you’d get stars. And these stars could be traded in for higher and higher military ranks. Getting a higher rank refreshed your exp back to 0. That was later replaced with just 5 stars, which was also very cool. Now, we have just have exp and 50 levels
I still remember the days when upon clearing a compound, you’d he airdropped supplies to fend off the next three waves of enemies. I also vaguely remember people being able to put the supply pellets on their little bird, and use it as a place to carry more people to and from places
Of course, vehicles used to be free, and I remember grinding the mountain base to collect bags… Man, I wish they kept some features… Collecting bags was cool and rewarding. Supplies scattered around the bunker was also very helpful. Wish we still had friendly NPCs to talk to, but I do like that we can spawn and some of the locations we liberate… Wish we could see civilians wandering the streets and giving quests once we’ve liberated their town… Some of them were really cool! Like finding a secret underground complex near the main city… And supposedly their missions had a chance to give you free weapon attachments and uniforms
the old door system is better for me cuz we could control the door and the operation viper are the prime of BRM5
bring so much nostalgic
I always kicked them out 🔥
Don't forget that there were rumors that Dr. Lakewell was with the Foundation, and yeah I mean the SCP Foundation
If you went behind him, there was a SCP Foundation poster/sign hidden between the medical stuff, with a note from a "Dr. Gemios"
You can go even further back before the new map to the old map with the airbase. There was a factory and some other locations the helicopter boss fight at the factory was so fun. I have probably over 700 hours in this game So many good memories with this game. Sad to see this games downfall.
Remember spawning in a heli and hearing “Mountain” 😔 good times
2019 brm5 is just built different
Edit: am talking when there were zombies in ronogard city and old docks and the vast map it was such a great experience
They took away my baby A10 and then gave her back rudderless before stripping us of everything with this update, cri
Fun fact in the previous operation the one before the gen4 release you could see the aircraft carrier on the mission board
old brm5 was easy and fun to grind but the newer ones is still good. PLayed from beta(?)(maybe alpha, the spawn was a single aircraft hanger back in 2019 or so) until now but honestly i kinda miss the old versions too, i hope the devs will pay homage on the older versions
Does no one remember the SCP foundation Easter egg in the container Dr.Lakewell was in, during the Halloween event??
it was like a poster no?
I remember that in El chara there was an enemy helicopter that arrived after you killed all the enemies, it was quite difficult to kill it
i dont really remember something well but there was like a tiny factory in a city 5 years ago or something thats all i remember everyone used to go there.
i just cryied seeing this...
Oh my god I remember those days I wish it was still here
the enemy A10 that would counterattack after taking Ronograd was actually trauma-inducing
I barely played New Dawn, only a couple of times with friends, died all the time.
good times, died several times
oh and, the Ronograd counterattacks with SAM trucks, good times, died many times flying a helicopter
Old helicopter exit system, you simply just jumped out, not dramatically exit
oh, and the old 4x4 APC that you got at 5 stars
R.I.P elchara 2019 - 2023
R.I.P ronograd city 2019 - 2023
We will never forget those places
Old times good times. I started brm5 when it was in the Operation Viper.
have fun reading this
and if anyone here is a plat rank, it'll bring memories back
before nightfall :
this was the old map with a volcano
there was no cash or money, everything was unlocked through exp and reset each star
there was a m249, but it was unlocked at like 30 000 exp, aka you won't use it until 3 star and 30 000 exp
the scar was the basic weapon back then, even if the M16 had the same stats (the scar had a glitch and only hit like half the time tho)
people had a little bio showing up when you hover them that has a rank (depending on how high the guy was on completing its rank) and stars (it would just show "PLATINIUM RANK" once reached the 6th star)
and people had a huge respect towards people with stars, that was a natural serious rp, that was perfect
wich leads me to talk about helicopters
wich always has been strange as hell to pilot
in that time, it was done using the mouse and a clic to go where the mouse is pointing, that simply
(and yes, people with a heli always have been the squad leader)
the ground vehicules (jeep/humvee) were a pain to use
fast acceleration, slow braking, lightweight, so if you were to go offroad, getting back was super hard (the road was super high, for some reasons)
oh and, there was not shift lock when in 3rd person
you could go around a corner, let the tip of your gun through, rotate just the camera and click on heads
now, about the map and the enemies
the biggest, and probably the one that have the most record, the naval base
it was a huge base with a lot of open spaces and enemies, it was also the only place with sewers we could use to get around with stealth
the factory : unlike its name, it actually was a city that has a ammunition depot
it was well known for being the place the noobs went to (it was right in front of the spawn base), as well as a good grinding spot
the enemies spawned all around the lower court of the storage, we had infinite ammo resuply inside, and could get a medkit at the nearby police station
(and it has 2 zombie spawns in the rest of the city, wich means not more than 2 at a time)
the contamined city : even smaller than factory, it only had one item (to get a badge) and a couple zombies (and maybe a super small enemy outpost nearby, I can't rumember)
blackhawk crash site :
it was isolated from mlst things... and it was just a blackhawk crashed in the middle of a small village.... that's it
other coumpounds :
there also were like 3 or 4 different enemy camps here and there, tho, they did't had much different stuff between them... like one has a helipad, another was at the edge of the map, etc...
enemies :
only 2 types :
russian guys and zombies
russians only spawned in predefined spots, and would move
the only exeption was the naval, as the russian backup was deployed with paras, follow a straight line to their position, before standing still no matter what
the zombies were just a bunch of slow moving, weak and useless guys, dealing almost no damage, having no health, and giving a symbolic 5 exp
oh and, lets not forget our beloved A-10!
it was only unlocked after the 6th star platinium rank
(I never could use it back then)
oh lol the m249, I think you had to like buy stars back then. So i never got the m249 I remember seeing it, but I always used the money to buy stars.
@dastealthoperator4138 well, there was no money, only exp, that automatically unlocks things for free
but yeah it was like 30k so everyone just took the stars and could start using it at like 4th star
I REMEMBER
i remember landing an a-10 in that forest during event and it was the best tactic
El Chara will always be in our hearts ♥
Started playing during the end of Nightfall, low key good times
Operation viper
Rpg Unit: "Fear me"
All to years he was removed
Operation Pheonix = Recently
Rpg unit: "I have returned"
Dang i remember almost all of these...
The Helicopter fight...
Ronograd A10...
The (i think) 2020 Haloween event...
It’s sad that they gone but I’m hyped for new one
I remember being riddled with bullets when enemy paratroopers suddenly landed while i was on the roof in el chara 💔
Omg I miss the bag quest at mountain, used to grind that like crazy
Welcome to the new generation brothers and sisters
I played during late Operation Viper, without a mouse on a crappy laptop
I miss it sometimes
the rpg got added back
holy shit, the soundtrack just hit me back to a core memory. I used to grind the fuck out of the raid mode, i did it 127 times. I got the c7a2, i dont know if the weapon is still avaible but anyways, that shit carried me to platinum rank
5:14
i feel bad for the OGs that played the halloween even 2020 and got the m50 gas mask that one patch and the C7A2 bc all those things just dont exist
expet the C7A2 witch you can buy
These were the good days. But with Opération Phoenix coming, the future might be even better.
I remeber joining around operation viper-nightfall and grinding the game so much over the summer... havent touched the game since.
I met the people gc that Im in right now on brm5 late viper and early resurgence, I started really late nightfall and stopped playing but returned mid viper and kept dying on raid...
I remember vaguely the day i start play the brm5 i think it was cool.
While i dont remember what the operation called but i remember there use to be a resupply depot in the police station
I love this game especially the el chara mission with the wave it was super fun grinding it with friend. The new dawn mission.
Now i dont play it as much as back then operations resurgence really didnt have the charm like other operation
I hope with the new update i would love this game again
