A search is under way for Call of Duty player Graham Brown, who entered a Battlefield 4 map four days ago and has not yet located the match. Brown had switched games after declaring that he wanted a bigger battlefield, more vehicles and room to use his tactical experience. Friends say he was enthusiastic until he discovered that the distant buildings were places he could actually go. “He said he’d push round the left,” a clanmate reported. “We assumed he’d be back by now.”
The missing player was last seen defending the corner of an empty upstairs bedroom well away from the objectives. He had chosen it because it offered two familiar features: a doorway and somewhere to stand beside it. Search teams have been checking similar corners, but the operation is complicated by the map containing more than one street.
Brown briefly made radio contact to report that he could hear a helicopter. Asked whether it was friendly, he said he had not seen anyone for some time and was not prepared to rule it out.
His squad urged him to use a vehicle. He replied that he was saving the vehicle for when he reached the fighting, and continued walking towards a hill he believed was the edge of the map. It was another hill.
Supplies have been prepared, including water, a compass and an explanation of objective markers. A rescue helicopter was dispatched but returned after Brown refused to leave his position because someone might come through the door.
His friends remain hopeful. “He’s a good player,” one said. “Once we find him, we just need to find whoever he’s waiting for.”
