REPLY TO JACOB'S QUESTION Yeah, I noticed that Shepherd might not have lethaly shot Ghost. It could've been along his collarbone or shoulder, not his head. And a lot of people think he was shot again, but I read on Call of Duty wikia that IW may have just added extra blood to Ghost's uniform for dramatic effect. And for the whole flame-retardent thing...they were most likely wearing something like that. I know IW will most likey NOT bring Roach back, but Ghost still has a chance. The only main character that IW brought back that everyone thought was dead was Captain Price (I would've preffered Gaz, but oh well, thats why we had Ghost ;D). I THINK they may bring Ghost back in MW3 in some sort of weird plot twist like with what they did with Price in MW2. I'd love it if they brought Roach back, not as a playable character, but as a supporting character like Ghost was. That way we could see what he looked like and what kind of personality he has. And we could delve deeper into the relationships he had with Mactavish and Ghost. I think Makerov is still alive, so MW3 will most likely deal with him. Remember, we still have Ramirez, Dunn, and Foley alive, so they'll probably be back as well. I'm still wondering what happened to Kamerov after MW1...maybe he showed up and saved Ghost and Roach? LOL, long shot, but we can always hope! I hope they bring him back as well!
Haha, that was a long reply, but it wasn't only an answer for Jacob, but I was also sharing my opinion on MW2 with everyone. If you wanna discuss what happened with Roach and Ghost, PM me and we'll talk, okay?
BTW, my 4th of July was awesome! We went out of state and bought some big ones and set them off, then Travis got out his Rifle and started acting stupid, then those idiot friends of mine were throwing M80's at each other! And cherry bombs...and other fireworks...plus, I got drunk. :D Smirnoff, Tequila, Lord Calvert, and Martini's. Haha, I am a bad influence... D:
Roach's Mental Notes
August 8th, 2016
11:00
It's dark in here. I don't think I like the dark too much...And its really cold...I can hear someone talking into my reciever, but its all muffled, so I'm not sure what they're saying. All I know is that its dark, cold, and really cramped in here. I'm also clausterphobic. So I'm about this much from seriously going bat-fuck insane.
Hmm...wait a second...my vision is becoming less obscured...Oh, I see...
LOL. I'm in a submarine...hanging onto an, err...miniature submarine...Haha, how stupid am I?
...I am half the man I used to be. And I do all the work.
11:05
Ah, finally...we're being released from this tiny capsule, so fuuuuck yeah. Haha, I don't know why, but I feel rather giddy today. Like I'm riding some sort of weird high. Must be my imagination?
11:07
We're going through this freezing-ass water now and I saw something that looked like some weird black circle of death in front of me. But this is the artic ocean, so I don't see how that's possible...It's only now that I know that its a submarine called USS Dallas or something...
I wonder why they name submarines after cities? Like Chicago and Dallas...It's sorta like how they named ships at Pearl Harbor after the states...I wonder if its the same guys running the show. You'd think that the others would get pissed because its patented or something and they wouldn't be allowed to do this, but...
Goddamnit. I'm doing it again. Mindless thinking.
11:10
We're coming up on that oilrig now. The guy in front of me is pointing for us to swim up. Sure. Okay. Up.
We're at the surface now and there's two tangos standing near the edge convienently...I wonder how these poor guys end up in situations like this. They should make these places a bit more fool-proof.
"On your go." Captain Mactavish whispers into the reciever. I hadn't realized that I'd subconciously brought out my knife.
Me and the Captain both sneek up on the two unsuspecting tangos and pull them into the waters at the same time. Ah, there's nothing like driving your survival knife 6 inches deep into the chest cavity of your enemy. Sweet, sweet stress-relief.
11:15
Hmmm...tangos really need to start paying attention to their whereabouts. There's another one, leaning stupidly over the railing, staring into god knows what...maybe he likes the fishies? God, I love the fishies-
ROACH! ROACH! Jesus Christ! I need to get ahold of my train of thought! I'm really starting to space out these days...
"Silenced weapons only." Mactavish ordered. I hadn't even realized until now that I'd been given orders to take him out.
11:18
I really do like these thermal weapons...they make me feel like...I'm a ninja or something...imagine it.
Pop a smoke grenade, throw it toward the enemy, disappear into the smoke, swing your nunchuks to make yourself look cool, then bring out your silenced thermal rifle and pop them right between the eyes while they turn left and right trying to spot you.
Seriously...It's awesome.
God...how old am I? I'm acting like...a 10-year old or something...I really need to get my shit together.
"Breaching, breaching!" Ghost called out. I almost yelp like a kicked puppy whenever I see a tango coming at me, AK-47 raised avove his head and ready to bash my skull in. Captain Mactavish tackles him quickly to the ground (or gives him a scottish hug...it's hard to tell) and quickly finishes him off before he can reach me.
"Roach!" He yells at me, making me jump. "Where's your head?"
I stutter nervously and point dumbly above my neck. "Here, sir...?"
He stares at me, like I've completely lost it, but then quickly recovers and shakes his head. I can hear him mutturing something, but with his scottish accent, its hard to tell what he's saying.
I guess I'm starting to loose my wits...
11:25
"Heli's coming, stick to the shadows!"
Everyone dives behind cover and I stumble over to behind a crate, hoping I won't be spotted. Luckily the helicopter flies away quickly and everyone sighs in relief. I'm so glad I didn't fuck that up. My retarded legs didn't need to get in the way today.
We have yet another room to breach, with more hostages behind the doors. I swear, if it were me, I'd just blow this shit up. Who cares. "OOPS! Uh-oh...accidently killed uhhhhh...about 10 workers who don't even have name-tags and personalities. My bad." I mean, its not like anyone would miss them...C'mon, they're oilrig workers. They already neglect their families and are almost always away on duty. It's not like anyone would miss them.
Wow...contradiction...that kinda sounds like the 141. I mean, lower ranking services...when there's nothing really huge going on, they get time to go back home and spend time with their families. Ever since I joined the 141, I haven't had time off. I kinda forget what home feels like...Wow, I think I miss my mommy...
I'm glad I don't have a wife or anything...or kids, THANK GOD. Y'know, this makes me wonder if the Captain or Ghost has a waifu...You think? Hmmm...nah...probably not. Mactavish seems too bad-ass for a family and Ghost is just...well...this sounds weird, but it's hard for me to imagine him doing anything other then following the Captain around...
11:47
Enemy helo is back and of course, I have to save the day. 'Cause know one else can seem to shoot an RPG or Stinger or Javelin...
Luckily, I see some stingers lying on a crate and bolt for one. But then, like 15 freaking tangos spawn out of nowhere (literally) and start shooting at me. I attempt to throw a flashbang to distract them, but damnit, it accidently bounces off the crate beside me and rolls to my feet. Aw, shit.
It goes off in a deafening bang, bright light blinding me temporarily. I sit there, rolling around on the ground, rubbing my eyes and cussing like a sailor while the tangos just lower their guns and laugh at me. Goddamn flashbangs all the hell.
I hear gunshots behind me and realize that its the Captain defending me. God, I really do like him. A lot. Is that weird?
"Roach, get up!" He yanks me up by the arm, like a parent would do a red-headed step-child. "Take out that enemy helo!"
I mutter a few more string of curses, but still pick the stinger up and head for the outside. It isn't long before I lock onto the heli and send it spiraling into the ocean.
12:03
We have one more building to breach.
I should've known that this was going to a bitch. The enemy is popping smoke to no end and now I can't even see what's 3 feet in front of me. I reach out, stumbling much more clumsily then usual and grab onto something. I grip it to keep myself from falling head-over-heels.
"Roach? What the hell are you doing?" It's Ghost's voice. I hadn't realized that I was hugging his arm like a shy child.
"Ahh, shit! Sorry! I can't see anything!" I yell out. I'm glad he can't see my face too well. I'm pretty sure I'm blushing. Wait...WHAT?
"Switch to thermal!" He instructs me. I do as I'm told and use the scope to move forward to the breaching point. When I finally reach the door, I realize that Ghost was right beside me. Wow. Stealthy. I didn't even hear him.
"Breaching!" He called out, planting a charge on the door.
When the door explodes, I see a tango rushing forward, knife in hand. I quickly retaliate, grabbing his arm and twisting it behind his back while Ghost shoots him. "BITCH!" I yell out, like some pseudo-gangster. I notice that the remaining tangos and even blind-folded hostages turn to stare at me. I look at each and everyone of them, offended. "What the fuck are you looking at?"
Captain Mactavish and the others breach from the other side and shoot the rest of the unsuspecting tangos. Well...at least I was helpful in some way. After checking all the hostages and C4 planted in the room, we all head for the LZ. "Nice job on saving those hostages Hotel Six." Mmmmm, praise felt so good.
12:10
We board the helicopters and Mactavish takes a seat next to me. "Moving on to phase two of the mission."
I'm suddenly handed a high-powered Sniper Rifle. Wait...we're still not finished? C'MON! I swear, General Shepherd treats us like we're freaking robots or something! I really do not like that guy whatsoever. I get some really bads vibes from him.
Oh well. YAY! I get to sit next to Captain Mactavish!
...Wait...why does that make me so happy?
LMFAO! If you were observant, you might have noticed the implied pairings in this chapter. But if I must say it out loud, it was RoachxSoap and RoachxGhost. The whole hugging onto Ghost and having almost school-boy like thoughts about Mactavish was much too cute to pass up. I really do love Roach. He makes me happy! Expect much more RoachxSoap hints and a little of RoachxGhost (because I like RoachxSoap more for some reason).
Please R&R (Read and Review, not Rest and Recuperation, lmfao, though we all know Roach needs it.)
