It was like original 2001 Ghost Recon, at the end the control scheme too (mouse and keyboard, that tactile feeling) Going in with like 7-9 soldiers. Seeing the soldier's bio signs screen. We were like in... a hell? So it was sort of like a red rock place with metal girders and mesh and such aesthetic. Going moving location to location. Might've actually restarted a few times at some points when we got spotted and the enemies went from jogging around on patrol to a leaning forward over to smooth and fast run to alert others. We actually did the same "level" on different difficulties. Later on hard, there was a purple big half circle monstrous thing kn the ground that presumably spawned enemies until hit by a rocket... might've been when i woke up briefly for my alarm at 0900. There was a lot of small, quick firefights. Sneaking around. Seeing friendlies go red on the tracker as they were discovered and killed. While it was like a game at times, there were others too and we were talking as if we were there or both players (3 people maybe, I sometimes swapped from one soldier to the other). Over time I think the enemy went from soldiers to demons and maybe chaos space marines. Sneaking around on my own. I went by the objective but didn't pick it up at first. Worried about how the extraction point across the industrial gangways at the rock face and opening to bright outerworld was crawling with enemy. I go back to the object, take a knife, slice open the gelatinous covering and pull out the objective item. Then I sneak back alongside the rock face where I met two friendlies. One, younger, was wounded as I talked to the older and more experienced one. Eventually, we open fire and make a break for it. The wounded man is shot dead while the other is grabbed and in close combat with like a daemon chaos space marine. He yells at me to go as more plasma fire bursts up around me. I believe he then was cracked or ripped apart. I scramble sort of on all fours to the extraction point... gamey like a teleporter. It is all white here on the outside of the map and then whiteness overtakes me as I reach it... the lone survivor... I think I then woke up...
