Stuck on a conference call. Sadly might not be able to make it tonight.

Fun night, will post more about it later, but I just wanted to say I don't care for the matches where we tremendously outbalance the teams, let that side get a few flags, and then turn the tables, and then do it again, etc. until the match is over. I'd rather spend the first minute or so balancing, and then keep the teams the way they are for the rest of the match.

I agree. I always check first thing, but it ultimately comes down to which team digi is on. If I had a Z, or even a combo of a few of the more seasoned guys, I have a chance, but otherwise, I'm completely outclassed...especially if I'm outnumbered numerically as well.

Horde-mode was going well until a few other people dropped in...then it was stacked the other way

Grinder was epic...and hilarious. Flip...

Kudos to Chew for some tremendous tank-work tonight.

Favorite moment for me was watching three enemy jeeps converge on Island outpost and nuking them all at once.

HAT TRICK!

I was sneaking in the snow with the flag during Grinder because I didn't have a vehicle and there was no way I was making it back to base on foot.

Tank shots are much easier when those pesky Warhawks aren't moving around so much. (especially when you sneak up behind one)

Also, that island dogfight was a lot more fun last time when I was on the other island. We were more exposed on our side.




On a happier note, Borderlands came in the mail yesterday.

My B-lands shipped, apparently. Hopefully it'll be a clean copy with all the stuff included.

South Islands was not fun at all, as one team has a huge advantage...or at least seems to.

Oh, and if you have to go on foot in the Grinder, go through the buildings. There are lots of ladders etc.

The other team was using the buildings a lot. I figured the snow route would be a little less congested.

I still have no idea how I got that flag in the first place. I think I need a siren to go off along with a big James Earl Jones voice. YOU HAVE THE FLAG.

Yeah and I'd be nicer to your blue Grinder team. We were scrappy.

Side note: I had team damage set to 0% last night and wasn't aware you could still have TeamKills.

I don't think you can. Steve and I tried quite a bit.

I saw at least 3-4 "TeamKills" on the screen last night, that's why I was confused.


Edit: From the Warhawk wiki:

A violation of the terms of service?

i teamkilled frizby last night when he was standing next to a jeep that i blew up.

Thanks for that by the way.

Basically, with team damage off, you just have to blow up something (crates/barrels/vehicles) that are next to your teammate. It would be tough to do on purpose, but is absolutely possible for the clinically inept (i.e. nic).

"clinically inept"

Ouch

I'd like to make a Warhawk joke in this Otter thread, but nobody will get it.

love you nic. smooches.

nice.

We should take over the thread with vague references. I'd jump in, but it doesn't look work-safe.

I think I've got this game down pretty well now. The only thing I suck at still is in air combat against other Warhawks. I can rock pretty hard at taking out turrets and dodging tank shots, but put me up against another Warhawk and I'm flustered. I just don't have the hand-eye coordination to swerve, lock on, and fire at the same time.

OK everybody, we just got the go-ahead from Slider to stop taking it easy on him!

...says the guy who crashed into a tree and sploded himself while chasing my jeep.

Any time I see Slider within 100 yards of a missile turret, I make sure to nuke him.

It's the only way to be sure.

Who, me?
