Multiplayer is much different - try it when it comes out!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Will do.

I'm taking the day off today, and I just set up the maps:

1. Omega Factory - Rumble Dome - Death Match (basically a lobby)
2. Badlands - Supply Chain - Capture the Flag (slightly bigger version of Skirmish)
3. Destroyed Capital - King of the Hill - Team Death Match (tired of flag on this one)
4. Island Outpost - Standoff - Capture the Flag (never get tired of flag on this one)
5. Archipelago - Acropolis Assault - Zones (love this map...different mode)
6. Eucadia - Battle for Eucadia - Capture the Flag (HUGE map...should force folks to fly a bit)
7. Eucadia - Urban Strike - Hero (giving Hero another chance on a more varied map)
8. Vaporfield Glacier - Grinder - Team Death Match (don't think I've played this map)
9. Tau Crater - Mission Critical - Collection (grand finale map)
10. Tau Crater - Crater Clash - Death Match (in case our numbers are too thin for teams)

Nope

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

:lol:

Ultimately, folks will have to play roles in that map. Somebody has to defend the flag, somebody has to go get the other team's flag, and somebody will likely have to chase the flag if the other team gets it. The only way to chase somebody down on this map is in a Warhawk.

I plan to defend on that map...and chase if necessary. Whoever else is on my team...go get that flag!!!

I hope you guys are still going strong when I finally get on tonight. Must attend yet another parenting/birthing class. The kid's already a time suck and she's not even here yet! I was pretty much mentally prepared for the arrival, but all this learnin' is a serious drag on the Warhawk time.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Happy potential fatherhood!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Need to go with CTF on #8. That is a fun CTF map I think...although I am also biased against DM in general :)

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Ravenous, you going to get the expansion packs in time for tonight?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

I thank you, sir. I fear the arrival date may be sooner than expected since my wife and I are big Penguins' fans. Another overtime hockey game and she might be fit to go. As it is, she's only got three weeks left until the due date.

We were at the game last night... and with two minutes to go, I thought we were going to have to call the EMTs.

Speaking of babies, when's eroc going to return?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Do it. They really are well worth it. I think you'll regret waiting for another sale.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Jetpacks FTW!!!

For those of us who don't have the map names memorized, which of the above are expansion?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Omega Factory
Vaporfield Glacier
Tau Crater

Also, I will be on tonight around the usual time...~8 CST

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

I actually had Ofermod in mind when I set up the rotation. He's rarely there for the first game anyway, and we rarely get to our tenth map, so the whole heart of the night is available to him.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

I should be able to get eroc (Eric) in tonight. I emailed him late last week to make sure he has the expansion maps, and he does. He seemed like he was looking forward to playing.

Congrats to you as well! Kids are a PITA, but if you're lucky, you'll have a boy who you can get games for every Christmas. ;)

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Have to run down to the Financial District for some stuff, so there's a chance I might not be able to get on tonight. But hopefully I'll be back in time to play a bit. If not, hopefully some of the people who've been blocked out by a full 8 player list can join up!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Original maps:

Island Outpost: Island with bridges, trees, hills and deep ravines
Eucadia: Looks like Europe with old cities. Has the giant statue.
Badlands: Desert
Destroyed Capital: Tops of skyscrapers
Archipelago: Elevated islands (this one is growing on me)

Expansion maps:

Omega Factory: Industrial
Vaporfield Glacier: Arctic
Tau Crater: Redwood forest with crashed space ship in the middle

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

They tell me it's going to be a girl. I'm just hoping she never wants to play softball, because, I don't know if there's anything more grueling than watching girls' softball. I'd trade all the benefits of having a boy if she just promises me to play soccer, lacrosse, hockey... anything but softball.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

I agree. I think I'm going to make an effort to stay out of the Warhawks tonight...maybe practice with the tank a bit...and make an ass of myself in the jetpack maps!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Eh...you've just never watched YOUR little girl play girls' softball. You got a name picked out?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

That's just because you're so good at CTF! If only I could carry a flag in a Warhawk...

I know I can set it up that way, but I've never actually tried it...seems like it would be too easy.

I think the mix is 3 CTF, 2 TDM, 2 DM, 1 Collection (flaglike), 1 Zones, 1 Hero.

That feels about right to me.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Thanks for thinking of me guys :up: Now I should be on tonight, but it may not be till 10pm C at the earliest. Going to catch Watchmen tonight at the $1 theater ($1 all day Tues) ... at least, thats the plan!

Havent bought the packs yet, but damn if you guys are tempting the hell out of me! These 2 sound VERY cool:
Vaporfield Glacier: Arctic
Tau Crater: Redwood forest with crashed space ship in the middle

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

....hmmm....too many people dropping in to say they can't make it. :(

digiwok, chew, maybe ed, maybe brian, eroc, and I should be in. Who else?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Thinking about it, am I the only one who needs the packs? Ive heard, maybe just rumors, that people can go half and half buying packs/games and share the game basically between/up to 5 users? Is that possible?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
 

Cheap ass! Man, I thought I was bad! ;)

You can share a PSN ID, but I don't think you can both be on at the same time.

...and yes, those two maps are great. Heck, I'd be happy if you just bought Tau Crater, as it's my favorite map in the game and adds jetpack functionality to all the other maps.
