Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
I just read over at Joystiq that PSN is down until "11:30PM EST"

No RDR tonight, I guess.

I think Chess is behind this.

You really should get RDR, Digi.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
The only map I really about lost my cookies was the CTF Archipelago with Z and chess on the same team both hanging out at the base almost the whole round.

I am sticking to my 1 binoc = 1 TOW retribution theory.
Funniest moment of the night for me: I'm flying on Archipelago and catch Slider out the corner of my eye going under the bridge to get the binoculars. I hovered up under the bridge and covered that whole ledge with BALLS.
I also like the "Slider rule" on TOWS, which stipulates that you can TOW Slider as often as you want until you hear him complain.

Tuesday's iffy for me this week.
If I have to miss out on Tuesday shenanigans, what's the status of Weekly Tuesday Warhawk Presents: Wednesday Night Red Dead Redemption?

WTWP:WNRDR is on for 9/8 Wednesday. We do some private free roam for a while, then TDM/DM/Gold, then back to free roam after the numbers dwindle.

As to Warhawk, I'll make my request once we know what the DLC status is. Will Cruz be on?

Nope. You guys drove me away with TOW's and BINOC's and MINE's and not being fun and whining and etc....
...not really
I'm just a cheap bastard.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Any chance of a TDM where the aim of it is to get the lowest score possible, basically trying to team kill rather than kill the other team? It could be interesting.
Also, how about a map or two with no TOW, Binoc or sniper? Remove the long range weapons to see how it goes.

Actually, that could make for a fun map on a small TDM...something like Fortress or Rumble Dome. I'll think it through and announce the map verbally if I do it.

Really, only you, nic and Slider use binocs with any regularity anyway.

Binocs are effective for killing missile turrets and stopping a flag carrier when they are too close to their home base to stop them any other way.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
The problem, if any, with binocs is that the maps we use are sufficiently large that you can pretty much use them with impunity...which makes them inherently cheap. With a TOW, I'm at least vulnerable for a few seconds, but with binocs, I'm dropping a very powerful weapon on people with virtually zero risk to myself.
The only real downside of using binocs, and it's a big one, is that hiding out and using them makes you more or less worthless to your team [glares at Slider].

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
I've always hated mines, and I didn't mind giving up TOWs, but I kind of feel like killing binocs would be the "bridge too far". I don't think we want to ban every weapon that we don't personally like.
I just try to remind myself that whomever just killed me with binocs took themselves out of the game longer than they took me out.
