The original R6 was the first PC game I ever bought with my own hard earned money!
I remember my brother, cousin, and I playing the demo late into the evening - and finally after a few hours we all looked at each other and we knew what had to be done. We had to buy the full game and we had to buy it that night!
The problem was that it was at best an hour before shops closed and we had one car between us. So we all got on separate phones and started calling around the city.
Finally, with 20 minutes to spare, we found a retailer that had the game on the other side of town. We all ran to the car and my brother gunned it!
With literally seconds to go, we pulled up as they were closing and my brother ran in through the half shuttered entrance....
A few harrowing minutes later he emerged, carrying the game aloft as one would a trophy after a hard fought contest!
What followed really were hours, days, weeks, months, and then years of joy, fun, and bonding between the three of us that I will cherish for a lifetime! R6, Ghost Recon, the Xbox ports... we played them all and we kicked ass
Many years have passed since we played our last matches together, and since then we all ended up in different cities, different jobs, even different countries.
But this year we're finally all back living in the same town and there's a new R6 experience to bring us back together... to take us back to those glory days... to re-experience that bond that brought us all so close.
All this and I'm hearing rumblings that our old clan might be getting back together (long live PLBY!).
So for the memories, for the bonds (old and new), and for the one of a kind experience that is R6 - I would welcome and be honored by the opportunity to get back in the game again!
