Boots On The Ground

For this article we are going back to the war torn fronts of the combat in sector 61 with our very own combat reporter Victor.

From here on is what Fixer has to say, or has experienced about the fighting.


 The views and opinions of our reporters  don’t represent Freedom News as a whole

Today was my first day on the ground, and I tell you it was something else. You know I heard the stories but nothing prepared me for seeing the hot spot that is sector 61, all the death and carnage. I was taken aback for a few moments when the rebel that first talked to me head got shot by an OTA sniper not two blocks away. After that little encounter me and my assistant, a fellow reporter by the name of Orwell, made a make-shift studio in an abandoned building. Having secured a position to use as a "studio" we began to gather supplies to make it a proper work space, not before some strange acid rain began and we had to shelter in place for it to pass.


Once all the supplies were in order we opened the studio to visitors and began conducting interviews with the local fighting forces, both combine and rebels, asking them a set of questions about the war and the major players in it. We got a lot of mixed messages but some of the answers that both sides seemed to agree on is that this war has claimed too many lives to count and can't end soon enough. I ask all the readers of this news paper to take a few moments and be in silence, remembering the lost whether they might be friends, family, or an enemy. It was a very sobering experience being on the field, I think I'm forever changed by it and have only been encouraged to keep reporting on the war.

That's all for now, this is Combat Reporter Victor signing off. If you would ever like to contact me please reach to me at this address: MapleMate#2542

So this is my first little "article" and I'm just want to get feedback from y'all. Should I keep making news articles for CvR? Would you guys enjoy it?

Interesting concept. It'll be interesting to see more players engage with this and provide an in-universe perspective. Only thing I'd really worry about right now is some punctuation, Combine and Rebels should have the first letter capitalised.

Good luck with this if you decide to continue.

I like it; hope to see more. I think it would be cool if you did reports on server events as well. I want to help if you could use an extra writer.

I love the idea, so much so that I half now want to make an ott propagandised version of a Combine news service (Imagine starship troopers level of irony)
