| “ | Everything that was asked of us - we've done. Every night we lay in a filthy foxhole - prayin' the enemy won't slit our throats. Every day we spent crawling through the mud and the dirt while bullets whistled all around. This is the enemy's last stand. When we take Shuri Castle, we go home. All of us.

Battle vs. Viktor Reznov (by MilitaryBrat)[]

"What the hell was that for?"
"I want to see what Americans fight like."
Then Roebuck aims his BAR and fires full auto. Reznov hides behind a bicycle shop window. Then he fires with his Stg-44 and kills Roebuck's buddy. This pisses Roebuck off and grabs his buddy's Thompson M1A1. He chases Reznov down the now deserted street.Reznov blind firing with his Ppsh. They hit each other in the leg. They then pick up Shotguns they find, see that they only have one shell each, they fire at each other but they kill two civilians by mistake. Reznov pulls out his machete and his Tokarev and Roebuck pulls out his M1911A1 and his Ka-Bar.Neither hit each other with there pistols, so they're left with there mele weapons. Reznov slashes Roebuck with his Machete andhe pretends to be dead. Reznov says to him "You fight better than the Germans." and gives a laugh.
"Thanks" Roebuck says, then pulls the pin on a Mk 2 frag grenade stuffs it in Reznov's shirt and pushes him into a firework store. The explosion lights off every one in the store and kills Reznov. Then Roebuck goes back to what he was doing before. Looking for a bar.
