“Oh shit. I’ve got 3 stars and I’m stuck on a roof.”, I heard my buddy say over my headset. “Ok man, try and stay tight up there. Kill as many cops as you need to to stay alive, I’m on my way to grab a helicopter. I’ll pick you up.”, I replied. The helicopter wasn’t nearby at all but I knew once I got it, i could make short work of getting back to my friend and plucking him out of the cops range. I finally got to the helicopter and having never flown one, was surprised on how well I did handling it. I saw 2 other players, both with a different shade of blue marker in a car below and I started to fire the helicopters guns. Trying to maintain good aim and also stay in the air is not an easy feat, but I managed. After destroying the car, I continued to help my friend take out the cops and fly away to safety. All the while, admiring the explosions and constant chaos going on around from the psuedo-safety of my helicopter.
