User blog:Snigel/Hoyt's Privateers vs 33rd Infantry Battalion



Damn! Stupid picture, you were supposed to be bigger than that! Ugh, never mind that.

Hello again, people of this Wiki! Today, I bring you a good old fashioned gunfight when ''Hoyt's Privateers, Hoyt Volker's criminal empire's ruthless security detail goes up against the 33rd Infantry Battalion, an American military battalion in Dubai who imposed martial law when things turned sour! ''When desert camouflage-clad soldiers fight the crooks in yellow, only one group will remain and be declared the most deadliest!

Hoyt's Privateers
Hoyt Volker was born in South Africa to an abusive father. This harsh upbringing made Hoyt a sadistic and mentally unstable person. At some point in life, Hoyt became involved organized crime, and he climbed the criminal ladder up until he was the boss of a criminal organization. Hoyt had decided at one point to relocate to the Rook Islands, an isolated place where there was no laws. However, the island was inhabited by the native Rakyat tribe, who opposed Hoyt. To defend himself, Hoyt made himself a private army consisting of former soldiers and criminals. With these men, Hoyt enslaved natives and became the largest slave trader on the South Pacific Ocean. He also made drugs which also filled his coffers. Hoyt had also came in contact with a man named Vaas Montenegro. Hoyt made Vaas the owner of the Northern Island with his pirates.

In early 2010's, a group of friends parachuted into the island. They were captured by Vaas, but two of them, Jason and Grant Brody escaped. However, Grant took a throwing knife to the neck before he could get away. Jason managed to just barely escape with his life and was saved by Dennis Rogers, a member of the Rakyat. Jason joined the Rakyat and disabled their operations and killed Vaas. Jason was not done yet, and went after Hoyt Volker who resided in the Southern Island. There he was helped by a CIA operative named Sam. They sabotaged Hoyt's drug manufacturing and destroyed key facilities of the Privateer Army. Brody (while disguised as a Privateer named Foster) and Sam were invited to a late night poker match with Hoyt. Their plans to kill Hoyt failed, since Hoyt stabbed a knife into Sam's throat and revealed that he knew Foster was Jason all along. Hoyt and Jason had an intense knife fight, resulting in Hoyt dying. Jason drove into the airport and saved his brother, and proceeded to fly into the Northern Island.

Weapons used by the Privateers

 * -|Handgun=The Desert Eagle Mark XIX is an American/Israeli pistol famous for firing a .50 caliber bullet, known for its stopping power. Although the Desert Eagle can deliver severe damage, it is inaccurate as heavy recoil will force the user to reacquire the target and because it is meant to be used at a close range, this inaccuracy is only increased at a distance. Despite being an impractical firearm, it is used by Polish and Portuguese Special Forces.

 * Effective range: 50 m

33rd Infantry Battalion
The 33rd Infantry Battalion was led by a man named Joseph Konrad, a decorated Colonel, but he was also troubled by PTSD. He led his men to Dubai to assist with in relief efforts after an unprecedentedly large sandstorm hit Dubai, knocking out power, water supplies, and emergency services. The 33rd, however, when, for reasons not explained in the game, the city was surrounded on all sides by a "storm wall", a stationary sandstorm that blocked all communications and made extraction of the 33rd practically impossible. During the several months the 33rd was trapped, Konrad instituted martial law, eventually turning to summarily executing criminals and hanging their bodies in public. This in turn prompted both the civilians and some of Konrad's own staff to rebel, causing further violence in the city. Five and a half months after the storm wall appeared, Konrad managed to get a broadcast declaring his mission a failure out of the city, prompting the deployment of a squad of Delta operatives, led by Captain Martin Walker to assess the situation in the city.

Weapons used by the 33rd

 * -|Handgun=The Beretta 92 is the standard sidearm of the U.S Army, though they used other sidearms too. The M9 model was specifically designed for the military, and it favored for its lightweight form, ease of use, large magazine size and low recoil
 * Caliber: 9×19mm Parabellum
 * Effective range: 50 m
 * Weight: 950 grams (34 oz)
 * Length: 8.5 in (21.6 cm)
 * Barrel Length: 5 in (12.7 cm)
 * Feed System: 15 round box magazine
 * Fire modes: Safe/Semi
 * -|SMG=The UMP45 is a submachine gun developed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch. The UMP has been adopted by various agencies such as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Heckler & Koch developed the UMP as a lighter and cheaper successor to the MP5, though both remain in production. The UMP is a blowback operated, magazine-fed submachine gun firing from a closed bolt. As originally designed, the UMP is chambered for larger cartridges (.45 ACP and .40 S&W) than other submachine guns like the MP5, to provide more stopping power against unarmored targets (with slightly lower effectiveness at longer range) than the MP5 (largely offered in 9×19mm, albeit with short-lived production of 10mm Auto and .40 S&W variants).
 * Caliber: .45 ACP
 * Effective range: 65 m
 * Weight: 2.65 kg (5.8 lb)
 * Length: 690 mm (27.2 inches)
 * Barrel Length: 200 mm (8 in)
 * Rate of fire: 600 rounds/min
 * Feed System: 25 round box magazine
 * Fire modes: Safe/Semi/Auto
 * -|Assault Rifle=The M4A1 made by Colt is the standard issue assault rifle of the U.S Army. It was designed to be a light version of the M16A2 with selective fire options. Created in the United States, the M4 was in service since 1997. The weapon is gas-operated, cooled by air, and has a telescoping stock. The carbine was created, like most carbines, to function like a rifle but have a lighter weight and greater portability. The M4 is slightly less accurate and has less stopping power. The carbine will later shift into the standard firearm for the American armed forces. 35 nations have the M4 as part of their arsenal and is widely used by both their armies and special forces. The M4 used by the 33rd Infantry is highly customized: the carry handle has been removed and in its place are flip-up iron sights, a Magpul-style handling loop on the magazine, an extended, threaded flash hider, and an aftermarket handguard based on the VLTOR CASV-EL and the gun has tan furnishing.

X-Factors

 * -|Experience=The Privateers have fought the Rakyat for some time with success, having (at the start of the game) the entire Southern Island under control. When Jason killed Vaas, the Privateers also fought rogue pirates on some occasions. The 33rd Infantry fought against the rebelling faction, the Exiles, defeating them. After that, they fought the civilian population.
 * -|Training=Some Privateers are former soldiers, while others are criminals. They have superb training when compared to Vaas's Pirates. The members of the 33rd Infantry Battalion are, as you might have guessed, all soldiers. Frontline infantry troops to be specific.
 * -|Brutality=The Privateers use force to keep things under their control, and some torture civilians for fun. The 33rd have committed war crimes and torture against those who sought to oppose them.
 * -|Logistics=The Privateers have large stockpiles of ammunition, along with fleets of helicopters and armed boats. If they are running low, they can contact some criminal elements and buy ammo from them. The 33rd on the other hand are trapped in a city, and after months of warring against the Exiles and the civilians, their supplies have begun to dwindle. They still have a decent supply of ammo, and a couple of vehicles, but they cannot acquire more.

Battle
Battle takes place in Dubai. More specifically, in two large office buildings and their roofs. A Blackhawk helicopter arrives dropping 10 Privateers onto the roof of one of the buildings. 10 33rd Infantry soldiers are on the opposite building. A bridge connects the buildings to each other. The Privateers fight their way towards the building occupied by the 33rd using the bridge. Both sides have one sniper, and both of them remain on their respective roofs.
