Recently moved, I'm almost finished putting together my dream room. Just bought this Simotion rig and got it put together this last weekend. The whole setup ended up very clean imo.
There are some compromises. The perfect sim racing room does not make for the perfect studio. But it's worth it. Feels amazing.
Had a solo game on Dire Marsh where I was questing. I was over by quarantine, under those giant-ass sky bridge buildings, fighting AI. Suddenly I get tagged by a sniper. I dive into cover and heal up, trying to get some intel. I am on Recon, but my ult is still 40 sec out.
I throw a spider drone, but it is instantly distracted by the hostile AI. I try to peak out, and get tagged again. I kill the remaining UESC from cover, then run to the little truck with the bullet proof glass. I sit there and watch.
Bingo. I see the Thief 80m or so out on a rooftop, hardscoped. Best ranged weapon I've got is a Volley. I peek out and squeeze a few shots off. He backs off. I run into quarantine and try to rotate on him, catch him off-guard.
I pop ult to make sure he's not doing the same. No pings. Ghost town.
I emerge and catch sight of him, crouched. He's still on that damn rooftop. Only now I have the element of surprise. I toss my spider drone, wait for it to land, then burst him with the Volley. Purple shields toasted. He panics and grapples off towards the outbuildings near Quarantine. I chase.
Unfortunately my ult is on CD again because I used it while rotating. But I can see his red footsteps. I get eyes on him right as hes entering a building. Tag him again. He pops smokes. Lots of em.
I lose the trail. By this time, game timer is at 30 sec left. I know its going to be a final fight at last exfil. I try to head center of the map, to anticipate its location. It spawns way up, northeast. I am running my ass off like there is no tomorrow, but I already know how this ends. Exfil is simply too far away.
Suddenly, at 15 sec left on final exfil, I hear the characteristic "kachink!" grapple sound from behind my left ear. Well look who it is. I turn around and we just stand there. I hear "Well, I guess we're both dead now". "GGs brother" I say back, and take a knee. Timer expires and we both dissolve into the ether.
10/10 poetic experience, screw my gear.
