“Juggernaut inbound, Rook! Get to the ammo crate!” crackled Delta, his team leader, through the comms.
And then he was gone. The grid went silent. And somewhere, on a dusty hard drive, a single line of code wept a silent, hexadecimal tear.
Rook sighed, pressed the glowing silver button, and whispered, “Yeah. Yeah, I would.”
Rook raised his ACR. He pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. A tiny prompt appeared above his gun: Mw3 Error Could Not Find Zone So Survival Mp Paris.ff
Except there was no Paris.
As the checkerboard Juggernaut stomped closer, Rook sat down on the wireframe curb of a Paris that never was. He pulled out his last, desperate tool: the Xbox 360 Guide button.
The world stuttered. A lamppost flickered in and out of existence. A car with no doors spun slowly in mid-air. “Juggernaut inbound, Rook

“Uh, Delta?” Rook said, his voice echoing into the void. “Where’s the zone ?”
It raised an arm made of corrupted code.
“No,” Rook breathed.
