MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT:

Next week...one week only...your mileage may vary...

TOWs are

Can we have a Warhawk week too?

I think it could be fun to maybe have one or two games where we ban Warhawks.

In the COD thread we've started having match-specific rules. It's harder with Warhawk because you have to find all your extra weapons, but maybe we could do some games where Warhawks are banned, TOWs are banned, Jeeps are banned, CTF matches where you can only move by Jetpack, etc. You would just have to announced the rule before each game.

If TOWs are banned then we should also ban binocs and snipers, thus removing all long range weapons.

Of course, Slider will have nothing to do except kill himself whenever someone gets close to him.

CTF without Warhawks is a non-starter since it's the only way to chase a bitch down...but we could ban them in TDM matches.

Warhawk-free: Zones, TDM, Hero.

Collection would be like CTF in that you couldn't easily catch someone in a jeep.

Screw you. . . I also use rocket launchers.

I forgot about your aim with the rocket launcher, it has killed me many a time.

I didn't accuse you of shooting me in the process.

But I'll allow it.

If I chauffeur you across the map at low altitude and full boost, nuke the other team's base from orbit, drop you to get the flag and torment anybody who dares spawn behind you with missile/machine gun fire....do I get credit even if you refuse to leave their base with the flag?

I think mines and TOWs are sufficient limitations.

Sniping a dude from across the map while he is using binoculars is one of the great joys of the game. I can't take that away. [grins at nic]

Pfft. No, because you clearly didn't kill the jerk that was shooting me at the time.

you could catch someone if you had certain bases captured. You could spawn ahead of them.

The first dude who chased you got the full treatment. I had him pinned behind a bunker, and YOU CHASED HIM for some reason rather than just leaving...then somebody else (probably Steve) spawned and killed you.

BTW, you may not have picked up on this, but it is fully possible to run backwards and shoot.

Or alternatively, if the other team has all the bases, you're pretty much screwed. The Warhawk gives you a chance.

Besides, without Warhawks, we might as well be playing some cheesedick FPS like Call of Duty.

Warhawk is third person.

Personally I'm waiting for that groundbreaking second-person FPS. Only I'll be damned if I'm playing that with Slider.

sps

Purple water? I want to go to there.

True. An SPS FPS would be quite confusing.

So to recap.

flipperbaby - waiting for groundbreaking SPS. Not playing it with Slider, even though he apparently knows magical coves containing purple water.

Hop in my jeep, I'll show them to ya.

SPS??
