I think the one I had the most fun on was Badlands. It was super close with lots of near scores, and we were fighting off the Z/Flip/Slider horde at the end just trying to hold the lead.

There were a few that weren't close at all, too. The one with me and Z on the same team was 4-0 for most of the map until we finally got one. And there was another map where I was on a team that was down 3-0 for some of the map, but I don't care about the score.

I didn't hear what she said at first, so when everybody laughed I was just sitting there. And then somebody repeated it.

Honestly, I care less and less about it...other than trying to balance the teams first thing.

The only time I ever really get annoyed is when I'm feeling "swarmed", and that only happened on the one map last night.

I distinctly remember a couple of "one-flag" losses last night, including one where I was maybe a second from tying it up at the end. So close...

Turnout was a bit light this week with no R2 or Steve and none of my office guys showing up. Don is on vacation and Sean is traveling on business, and the guy who bought Warhawk this week just didn't show...and I'm not sure about Marcus.

We got to 5 on 6 at one point when Wiz was on, but that was about the max. I guess 11 isn't too bad for a "light turnout" night, and our potential is nearing 20!

king of the hill: it was a little douchebaggy, but we were up 3-0, i went to get flag number 4, on my way back to the base I spot Z running with our flag. I came around the turn, ran him over and planted the flag.

That was awesome.

If I'm ever legitimately stressed out it's because of the fucking binocs.

I tried to keep up with my TOW promise but I was too busy with Slider.

I owe Nic at least two. And a nicholls owes me a TOW because I thought it was Nic.

I knew as soon as you allow mines "under limited conditions", those rules get stretched and stretched. I saw more mines last night than practically the entire last year.

And I get stressed at TOWs.

Yes it was!

It was almost like Z just happened to be in his parking spot.

TOWing Warhawks is my new favorite thing to do. It's even better than BALLS! I maintain that they are a legitimate air-to-air weapon, as it takes a fair amount of skill/risk to pull off.

You were right about mines Chew. I pictured the occasional suicide bomber and not much more. Also, I'm sure the new guys don't get it...hence the joke about the Weekly Warhawk Handbook.

I'm inclined to revisit the "mine issue". Thoughts? Better pre or post suicide bombers?

Slider knifed me and it set off a chain reaction of teamkilling and douchebaggery. At one point three of us were chasing each other around a spawn point slicing each other to ribbons. Good times.
If by settling in/holding my own you mean being pwned in the skies, torched in a tank repeatedly and suicide jumping then I am settled in.

I killed some one with a mine in the sky and shot someone's Warhawk out of the sky with a tank, so I wasn't totally defenseless.
I had fun and upheld my vow to teamkill you.

i think suicide bombers are ok. I am not a fan of mining the flag or the binocs.

Kim officially made the sig!

Me in both cases.

On Northern Bridge, I tanked a Warhawk hovering over the red base from the top of the hill on the blue base. One in a million shot. I think it was Brian's wife.

I agree.

Definitively...mines are OK on a jeep with you in it but are otherwise a no-go. I'll monitor for abuse [glares at Slider] and adjust the ROEs accordingly.

i tanked 2 warhawks last night

Preemptive Page 2 bump

Chew...bailing you fucks out again. If nothing else, dude can hold down the fort!

You guys are too busy talking about your newfangled weekly whatevers to remember the OG!

Ima shove those binoculars up Slider's ass!

Said Chew in March 2009.



I was just looking through the early days of the thread for nostalgia's sake. Chew was the second post, and I don't think I realized that Steve has been around longer than Flip...or at least he posted sooner.

Seeing RDR start to fade a bit, I'm struck at how amazing it is that we've gone this long.

I still don't have ground controls and aiming down.

If RDR had the multiplayer customization options that Warhawk or MW2 has it would have much longer legs IMHO.

Hogwash! You are a positively fearsome defender. You've probably flamethrowered me a thousand times...and don't get me started on your knife-wielding skills.

One of the first things I check when a map starts is whether you are on my team, as it gives me a good idea of how much defense I need to play.

There is a lot to be said for role-playing and predictability on your team.

Until I can start taking out Warhawks with a tank while each are moving, than I stand by my statement.
