The Shift

I'll admit, I thought to myself - as I ran largely without having prepared into Stary Sobor - that I was setting myself up for a fall. But to move carefully from building to building, and get shot and looted while crossing a road away from the person in question, it just frustrates me. They were alone too: why not try teaming up for once, you already had an assault rifle ffs!
Just had a similar encounter at the NW airfield. I was in one of the minor buildings there and noticed a flare go out so hit the deck and crawled outside to have a look. Some dude with a Makarov was going for the barracks so I quietly followed close by being careful not to alert him to my presence. Suddenly he doubles back around the corner and I am confronted with said Mak in my face at about 5 meters incoming. He unloads a full mag at me and in something that resembles a scene from Pulp Fiction, all the rounds wiz past my head and land on the wall behind me. I unload a couple of silenced rounds from my faithful Bizon into him and he drops like a bad habit. This happened in the space of about two minutes - I had no intention of killing him, was actually going to help in case he got Z swarmed. Fuck it, I'm just doing heli crash site runs from now on and live the quite life in the forest hunting. I was/am attracted to the game because of the survival aspect rocket promoted - not the pvp/deathmatch that it has devolved into.
