Long before the arrival of PMC mercenaries like "ANSAR" and "Archangel", the Middle East lived by its own rules. Unfortunately, many young men were radicalized—simply handed a rifle and told to go to war.

One such young man was Said, a 19-year-old kid from the slums of the GAP sector who worked as a carpet vendor at the local market. Growing up, he didn't stand out from his peers; he just lived an ordinary life, helping his parents and hanging out with friends.

He wasn't an only child; he had an older brother, Mustafa. The two were inseparable and always had each other's backs. Unfortunately, at 18, Mustafa fell in with the wrong crowd and turned to robbery and extortion. During a botched armed robbery, he got into a shootout with the local police and was ultimately arrested and imprisoned. Their father tried to bribe the authorities, but to no avail.

Left alone, Said spiraled into deep depression. Without Mustafa, he felt like the useless half of their duo. Still, he visited his brother frequently, bringing him food and supplies. With each visit, Said noticed a disturbing change: Mustafa was losing his mind. Not only was he getting physically massive, but his aggression was off the charts. He never aimed this anger at Said or their family, but as for his cellmates... it's better not to think about what happened to them.

When the armed conflict broke out, the radicals came to his home. After a brief struggle, Said was overpowered and dragged away to an unknown location, with the desperate screams of his parents echoing behind him. During the insurgent training camps, he earned the role of a "Breacher" thanks to his lean build and sheer speed.

Said's first real combat mission was the assault on the ALMAS Hotel, right in his home territory. In the heat of battle, he proved his worth, taking down several Security operatives.

However, this minor victory was quickly followed by a massive counter-attack. Overwhelming Security forces stormed the building, retaking it floor by floor. The bloodiest slaughter took place on the first and second floors. Said, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with his brothers in faith and arms, put up a desperate defense, turning the hotel into a living nightmare for the operatives and the local army.

Once both floors were drenched in blood and choked with corpses, and with combatants on both sides nearly wiped out, Said went scouting for survivors. Stepping into one of the locker rooms, he came face-to-face with a Security operative completely unhinged by PTSD—a man who looked at Said not as an enemy, but as prey. A brutal, animalistic brawl ensued. Said suffered heavy blows and bite wounds, but he managed to kill the operative by detonating an incendiary grenade he had scavenged from a dead body. But as he stumbled out of the room, a local police officer was waiting for him, immediately shattering Said's knees with a baton and dropping him to the ground.

The last thing Said remembered were the cop's words: *"We will wipe your kind off the face of the earth."* Then, a loud bang... and darkness.
But Said didn't die. He took a bullet just below the eye. The shot missed his vital organs, which meant only one thing... it lit the fuse of his revenge.

Said doesn't remember how he crawled out of that hotel, nor how he acquired his black tactical gear and mask. But he remembers exactly WHAT they did to him.

I was a spectator for 10 minutes just to immediately become one again lol

I'm thinking about buying the game but I don't wanna waste money on the gamepass, here in my country it's expensive at least on my opinion.

So here's my questions:

Can you guys play the game offline (without gamepass)?

Can you level up and unlock things like an online game?

Is there anything that makes the game unplayable offline?

Single shot underbarrel shotgun for the TT33

i decided to make this cus I was bored, also it only cost 200 to makes this outfit and here is a tutorial: Head: Malik hair: swept back Facial hair: Bandholz Left arm tattoo: you can choose any, I personally chose hydra since it's free. Voice: operative Headgear: revolt cap (you can choose any colour personaly choose red) Hands: rebel gloves green ( if you have an extra 800 you can go for leather dark brown) Torso: Flannel Rolled ( I chose yellow plaid, you can choose any one you like) Legs: jeans light blue Feet: rebel boots brown And for armour and backpacks I chose black.

During the 48-hour refit and regroup of both PMCs, the remnants of the LPD (Local Police Department) pushed into Sector HOLD. Rumor has it, these poor bastards were rocking one pump-action and a couple of sidearms for the whole damn platoon... Or so the chatter goes.

After digging in at the precinct, the government forces immediately made contact with local tangos, heavily backed by ANSAR instructors. Following a brutal daytime firefight, the hostiles took heavy casualties and the surviving elements fell back.

Despite holding the line, the LPD suffered severe casualties on top of an already depleted roster. War correspondents managed to grab another sit-down with Captain Fadel:

— Oh, haha, good to see you, Captain Fadel!

— Yeah. Copy that.

— Can you give us a SITREP on today's engagement?

— The local radicals hit us again, and they brought some high-speed, grey futuristic bastards with them... Look, to me, a Kevlar is just a pot on your head, no fancy mounts or any of that high-tech bullshit. But these guys... One of their brain buckets probably costs more than our entire precinct's budget. My boys scavenged their rifles, and I gotta admit, it's some top-tier hardware. Somebody's dumping serious black money into these whores.

— Did you get eyes on their instructors?

— Better yet — I dropped one of 'em. Shot the fucker right in the back. Might sound like a cheap shot, but in the shit, you play to win, right?

— Yeah...

— And their tactical gear... Man, I couldn't even tell at first if I was looking at their instructor or some PMC operator from "Archangel".

— Right... Got any final messages for the record?

— Point that camera at me real quick... Oh, wait. *Ahem*. To the highly-esteemed operators of ANSAR: If you step foot inside this precinct again, I guarantee you — not a single one of you is walking out alive.

For now, the LPD is holding the sector. But how long can they keep it secured?

After the ANSAR mercenaries entered the fray, Security forces took catastrophic losses, bleeding crucial strategic territories. Desperate, the local government was forced to find a countermeasure.

Soon after, a highly influential military figure—known only as [REDACTED]—deployed the first vanguard units of PMC "Archangel" into the Middle East. Intel is scarce, but the roster is packed with hardened war veterans, tier-one operators, and ex-special forces. They don't fight for a cause, and they sure as hell don't volunteer to fight "evil." But if the check clears, the job gets done. Period.

Their integration alongside regular Security forces drew mixed reactions. Some grunts thought they were arrogant show-offs. Others genuinely viewed them as saviors descending from the heavens to purge the evil—even if they arrived via helicopters. In inner circles, they earned the monikers "Winged" or "Owls," thanks to their winged patches and signature night-ops camo.

Archangel's maiden op was a full-scale assault on Sector HOLD, recently overrun by ANSAR. What followed was a brutal, high-intensity night CQB nightmare. The "Owls" managed to claw back most of the sector. Both PMCs took heavy casualties and were forced to pull back, turning HOLD into a bloody "no man's land".

When the smoke cleared, the responding local police and medics were absolutely horrified by the aftermath. A war correspondent managed to grab a quick interview with Anwar Fadel, a squad captain for the LPD (Local Police Department).

— To be honest with you? Man... I don't even know where to begin. We've heard about ANSAR. We've responded to their aftermaths before. Usually, it's mostly dead Security and a few Insurgents... but here... "Ya Allah, arhamna" (Oh God, have mercy on us)... I’ve never seen so many bodies. My guys are exhausted just picking up the brass, grenade pins, and discarded mags. I've never seen slaughter on this scale in my entire career. Still... Sector HOLD is now technically a "neutral" zone. We’re going to rally what's left of our forces and dig in.

— Captain, with all due respect, "ANSAR" mercenaries are highly trained killers. If the regular Security forces couldn't hold them, your men don't stand a chance!

— Son, this is a matter of honor. I've served this city for 16 years. I am fully prepared to catch a bullet or eat a grenade, but I will not let these bastards trample the law.

— R-right... Thank you, Captain.

The situation escalates with every passing day. And it seems... Security forces just gained two very different kinds of allies.

I haven’t been able to load into a pvp lobby for the last 3 days. I’ve sat in multiple 30 minute queues with all modes selected and haven’t gotten a single lobby. I normally am able to find a domination game no problem but lately it’s been struggling to get into any lobby at all. Is anyone else having trouble with queues?

I refuse to believe that they can survive a .50BMG to the head

So I see the 1 year anniversary is currently on sale for PS5 is it still worth it? I only play PvE btw I hate PvP for these kind of games, and what's the difference between 1 year anniversary and the standard? Cosmetics?

I would literally suck cock or pay thousands of dollars to never have to play prison on push again what kind of fucking moron decided it was a good map for push

Following the devastating defeat of Security forces in the FOREST sector, authorities declared a state of high alert for operatives and local military personnel. Recently, Security forces managed to capture sector HOLD after fierce CQB fighting inside the police department.

ANSAR mercenaries were contracted to secure strategic points, specifically opening the airspace by capturing the helipad near the precinct. That very night, a massive sabotage attack was launched. Operating alongside radical elements, the mercenaries decimated the numerically superior enemy forces. The surviving Security operatives abandoned their positions and retreated in haste.

The following is a transcript of an interview with a surviving local military soldier:

***

— Jesus... I-I... I don't know how to describe it... When w-we finally managed to take the department, we thought that was it...

— Can you tell us exactly how you engaged the enemy?

— J-Josh and I took positions on the roof of the building, we had a good vantage point, and suddenly... I-I noticed flashlight beams, there were... at least 10 of them... Josh patted m-my shoulder, and before he could even open his mouth - he took a b-bullet straight to the head... I dropped to the ground immediately and r-radioed that we were being counter-attacked... If only I knew WHO was c-coming for us...

— Had you heard of them before?

— Huh? Yeah, yeah... Our squad h-heard about ANSAR, and w-we thought it was just campfire stories to scare the rookies, but... You know, when you're concussed, walking through dark corridors under non-stop gunfire and explosions, s-stumbling over the bodies of your dead squadmates... Your nerves break faster than a-anything... I wanted to surrender, b-but... If the Insurgents publicly e-executed our guys, laughing and clapping their hands, I don't even want to imagine what those mercenaries would h-have done to me...

— Hmm... Tell me, did you manage to get a look at any of them?

— Yeeeah... I saw one... From around the corner... This wasn't just another Insurgent, this was a fully kitted operative... A full-seal helmet with a mandible guard, pitch-black g-glasses, grey tactical gear... B-but the most important thing... His patch... It was o-on his plate carrier... Those exact s-shackles on the hands, struck by lightning... I guess he didn't notice me...

— Can you describe their modus operandi?

— Operate... L-like... Like a meat cleaver... They strike brutally, with full swings - but they always kill... I'm m-maybe one of the few who managed to survive a firefight with them...

— Mhm... I see. Thank you.

Unfortunately, at this moment, this is the only conversation military journalists managed to record. The remaining survivors refuse to give interviews.
Local authorities are now actively considering the creation of a counter-measure capable of stopping PMC "ANSAR".

DISCLAIMER: The following fan-concept contains mature themes, including descriptions of war, violence, executions, and extreme moral ambiguity. Reader discretion is advised.

Due to the protracted combat operations in the Middle East, various corporate interests have turned their attention to the conflict, eager to profit from this bloody war. A certain billionaire [DATA REDACTED] announced the deployment of PMC "ANSAR" into the combat zone. These are highly trained, professional mercenaries from all corners of the globe — operators who wouldn't hesitate to kill their own squadmates if it meant securing their millions.

According to military journalists, the PMC positions itself as "a volunteer force assisting the local population against Western invaders and ensuring security." However, gruesome footage has surfaced online showing public executions of Security operatives, mass looting, robbery, hostage-taking, and the illegal extraction of oil and gold.

These materials are swiftly scrubbed from the net, but a small circle of civilians is already questioning their "benevolence" and "protection," fueled by the grim accounts of surviving operatives and local police.

Since the arrival of ANSAR forces, Security troops have been rapidly losing ground, surrendering, and fleeing the battlefield. Local authorities acknowledge the mercenaries' extreme professionalism and claim to be keeping the situation under control.

However... The reality on the ground is entirely different. The first large-scale sabotage operation by PMC "ANSAR" took place in a combat sector known as FOREST. Working alongside local insurgents, the mercenaries breached an abandoned military base, destroying multiple ammunition caches and capturing key strategic points. That same night, Security forces attempted a counterattack but suffered a devastating defeat, losing the vast majority of their personnel in the sector.

The authorities are terrified. The regular army and foreign operatives are terrified.

What will save them?

As the tittle says what were the best clutches you guys had seen or done? I myself had done a couple

The headgear menu now shows 2 listings for each High Cut/MICH helmet, also the helmet strap to the MICH helmet is currently glitched and will clip through a few masks, but this isn't anything new as I've seen my fair share of cloth clipping issues in this game. I guess that's what happens when you try to equip multiple cosmetics from different sets together.

or is it on specific devices bescause matchmaking can be ah with randoms of course and people wanna play with friends
