SEASON ONE, EPISODE 2 — THE NEMESIS ARRIVES.
4:18 · 1080P · BATTLEFIELD 4
Real Battlefield 4 footage across snow, flooded city and jungle introduces Sluggie, the recurring rival the squad cannot beat — a real triple-kill, a bounty joke, and a full-squad wipe. Narrated in a synthetic AI parody of David Attenborough's voice. Not a real recording.
Transcript · automatic · 53 lines 0:00 This population does not have one battlefield. 0:04 Tonight, snow. 0:07 Last week, a flooded city. 0:10 Before that, dense jungle. 0:12 What never changes, no matter the ground, 0:16 is who ends up owning it by the end of the night. 0:20 Every population has a natural predator. 0:25 Tonight, several of them meet him for the first time 0:28 and immediately understand why the others were so afraid. 0:33 Oh, Sluggie! 0:37 It's a fine column, but I tried to get in the Amtrak mood. 0:40 Coward and parade. 0:53 Somebody got Sluggie. 0:55 Oh, I'm in fire. 0:58 Most predators are content with one kill. 1:03 This one considers three a light snack. 1:08 Oh, stupid Sluggie. 1:11 I guess he really is just slug, but it looks like Sluggie. 1:20 Triple... 1:21 Ah, I'm gonna kill him. 1:22 It doesn't matter what it's called. 1:23 I had a lot of it, and at the end I was feeling a bit sluggish. 1:38 Faced with an enemy they cannot outshoot, this population does what every failed strategist 1:44 eventually tries. 1:47 They propose money as the solution. 1:49 I don't remember what the hell is killing me so much. 1:52 Slug is on a level 3. 2:00 We should put bounties on stabbing Sluggie. 2:04 Oh, I gotta send you guys this great jet moon maneuver I got. 2:08 By now, the mere announcement of his presence is enough to change behavior. 2:15 Nobody has seen him arrive. 2:18 Everybody already knows. 2:22 Got an arc on it. 2:26 Yo, run, get lost! 2:28 I got a lost part. 2:33 Ah, Sluggie's inbound. First floor, Fox Run. 2:36 He does not chase ground. 2:39 He simply stands on it and it becomes his. 2:48 Oh, that guy! Sluggie's on the hill! 2:53 He's going to swing strong. 2:56 And then, to make the lesson unmistakable, he takes the high ground and removes the entire hunting party in a single pass. 3:18 S***. Yeah slug. 3:28 Ah Sluggie. Yeah. Dang, my blueberries were looking to the right and so I looked that 3:33 way to help cover and the guy came, Sluggie came to the left and shot us all. Or at least 3:40 me. That's where my score keeping ends. 3:44 by any reasonable measure. 3:47 Tonight, belonged entirely to him. 3:51 And yet, nobody logs off. 3:53 They will be back next week in the same field 3:57 for the same reason they always come back. 4:01 He remains, for now, undefeated. 4:04 This population insists that his temporary history, 4:09 so far, disagrees.
