(The Culling used to be a lot of fun; below is a story from one of the good times I had back in its 'glory days' before it died)

My Experience Playing The Culling: Story Of A Martyr

-Joined a duo game (team mode) with friend

-Friend immediately says he has to leave to go hide eggs (for Easter)

-I panic, but reluctantly take his gear and recycle them for FUNC (currency for crafting/loot)

-I wander the map hearing distant cries and screams of fallen warriors in the distance

-I manage to build myself up an arsenal of C4, Survival Spear, Body Armor, a Javeline and a Back Pack

-While wandering, I happen upon a man running from two purple mohawked hooligans

-Us solo players who have lost a teammate have to stick together, so I run to his aid tossing my javeline into the back of one of the assailants

-A brawl breaks out, one mohawk came after me and the other went charging towards the other solo player

-We both manage to kill the Mohawked hooligans, so I look at him and procceed to do the block shake (there is no way to communicate in this game, so holding your weapon up to block and shaking wildly is the only primitive way to convey a message)

-He seems to understand, takes the loot, and we part ways

-Later in the match 4 of us end up getting forced into the middle of the map as gas closes in around us, one of which was the man I saved earlier and the two others were a duo team

-A brawl lasting 2 minutes of poking, dodging, and running commences, I manage to kill one of the duo players but it was clear my unofficial buddy was losing the fight

-My unofficial buddy and I both end up running and hiding in the same area, where he proceeds to pull out a stick of dynamite and light it

-I prepare myself to dodge the explosive and gouge his brains out... but before I could engage him he looks at me... nods his head... and runs off into the arena

-All I heard was an explosion leading to the violent screams of two players. Next thing I know VICTORY lit up in a yellow hue pops up on my screen

-I cry every time

10/10 would mercilessly profit off of an unofficial buddies martyrdom again
