![]() ![]() Now, she can stride 150 feet in a straight line with the help of a custom brace made by Methodist Orthotics & Prosthetics, a one-sided walker and some assistance. “She had no control of her head or trunk and no movement in her left leg.” “She needed 100 percent assistance to sit on the edge of her bed and maintain her balance,” said MRC physical therapist Kathleen Dobbs. We had to put a neck brace on her so she could hold her head up.” “It’s pretty incredible to see how much progress she has been able to make,” said Skylar Menist, an occupational therapist at the Jackson hospital. The 19-year-old nursing student wowed everyone with her comeback from a crippling stroke. Just maybe don't tell everyone you know.Shaniqueka “Shay” Hunt of Morton did high fives to celebrate her achievements in Methodist Rehabilitation Center’s therapy gym.Īnd there was a whole lot of clapping going on during her month there. So yes, go play Hunt! Tell your friends! You can be that cool person that plays the weird cowboy game with zombies. An explosion of players would definitely change that, and I'm not convinced that the theoretical benefits of popularity (adding more cosmetics and guns, I suppose?) are worth it. Right now, Hunt's community is a relatively small bunch that quietly enjoys the game and posts cool fan art on Reddit. Maybe Hunt is just too weird to catch on in a big way, and I'm starting to believe that's for the best. It happened for Apex this year and for Tarkov (Hunt's closest neighbor) last year, so why not Hunt? The old-timey guns may be the culprit, or perhaps its dreary art style puts off players. In an age when one popular Twitch streamer can rocket obscure multiplayer games (opens in new tab) into instant fame, it's weird that Hunt hasn't had its time in the sun. I think a lot about Hunt's modest popularity. If it were a battle royale game with 60-150 players per match, numbers that low would likely mean annoyingly long queue times, but Hunt fits all of the thrills of battle royale in an economical 12-player lobby. In 2021, it enjoyed a new high of 32,000 concurrent players. Three years of updates have added new guns, tools, bosses, and maps. That's fine-by all accounts, Hunt is a continued success for Crytek. Its player base is a drop in the bucket compared to battle royale juggernauts like Apex Legends or Call of Duty: Warzone, and yet, it's way better than both of them. Like Jacob a year ago, I have now become that guy who passionately wants to tell more people about Hunt. I don't think I'll ever forget the night we were stuck between two squads on a bridge and I got this unlikely headshot (opens in new tab) with a pistol, or the night my friend and I spotted an enemy and we miraculously shot him at the exact same time (opens in new tab). ![]() When enjoyed with friends, Hunt is one of those games that seems to magically manufacture special moments. A few times, we've even killed every player on the server. Another time, a squad of better players picked me off, and my friend negotiated a truce with them over voice chat. One time, we got at least four matches' worth of fun out of one 40-minute Alamo-style standoff against a squad of snipers trained on our windows (they killed us). Other times our squad has gotten into a fight early on, barely won, and decided to retreat immediately instead of chancing into another with fewer medkits. Sometimes, opposing players kill a boss first and quickly escape. Hunting down a boss, killing it, and leaving with its bounty is a great boon, but that doesn't always happen. Little victories are hard-earned in Hunt, in part because its format lets you decide what a victory is. It was the kind of play that you want to proudly display on the fridge. I was waiting at the ideal angle as he entered my view, and one shot to the noggin brought him down. ![]() The sudden commotion motivated the crossbow foe to crouch-walk up the stairs next to me to investigate. As it landed on the road, it perfectly mimicked the sound of a gunshot. ![]() I figure I'd have the best chance of landing my shots if I get this guy to walk into me instead of the opposite, so I pulled out a bag of blank fire decoys and lobbed a bullet out of a nearby window. After a few minutes, I'd snuck up to the second floor and could hear the crossbow man's footsteps below me. I decided to sneak around, staying crouched and being careful not to step on broken glass or disturb hanging tin cans. ![]()
