I suppose worse case we can just set it up as a clan server tonight if we cant get numbers alone. We would actually get to play on the same team for longer then a round of DM

Has TLWizard transferred clan leadership yet? I sent it to him on Sunday after I got the trophy.

Yeah, he sent it back to me but nobody else was on at the time so I didn't pass it along. I'll send it further along the chain when I sign on tonight.

There's a loophole in that idea specifically for Warhawk: only one ID can use any shared Warhawk DLC content in a 24 hour period. If you can get the expansion stuff from somebody outside the forum, then great. Otherwise, nobody here can game share with you and be able to both play at the same time.

I bought the DLC triple pack this afternoon and just finished downloading it.

I'm in for tonight.

I'll be playing, and I've got the expansions.

Please do not put fly with the flag, I've played some of those and they suck.

Cool, and I don't plan to. I just don't have any better ideas for ween and that f'ing tank!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

PSN is acting goofy as hell the past couple of weeks. I can log on, but it usually takes a few tries, and I just got an email from eroc saying he's getting the DNS error. He's working on it though...

It's a greatest hit now, isn't it? Also, you can always buy it used.

Agreed!!!

We had some lopsided games, mostly because I had the teams on "random" rather than "balanced", but I think everybody got a few wins in. I prefer mixing the teams up some.

I think in the next few weeks I'll ditch the all-talk so teams can strategerize...doubt the other team likes listening to me yap!

Curious...I never see lag on my end, but I'm the server, so it's hard to tell. Everything working OK for everybody else?

I'm getting it off Goozex, because I have nearly 6000 points to kill. The first time I requested it, the person never sent it. Hopefully I'll have it next week.

I'd like to yap too, but I can't figure out my bluetooth problem.

In terms of lopsided games, I'm thinking of perhaps that last collection game. You and ween vs. me and Whistler. At a certain point I just tried taking you guys out to be a pest. I think I failed at that as well.

I got some trophy tonight for sniping your Warhawk... which was really funny, because you sounded all disgusted said "someone's sniping. But I know where he's hiding..." meanwhile I'd jumped out of the tower. And then you added "but he's probably out of there by now." It's rare I'm ahead of the game. I took a little pride there for a moment -- I'm sure you destroyed me ten seconds later.

That little death match w/ eroc and me playing 2 on 3 was worse...and Eucadia probably was too. I could hear the frustration in ween's voice. But I think we were all there once tonight.

Once I saw it was you, I was kind of proud. But yeah, I was in an epic battle with ween and/or ofermod, only to get sniped from the side.

Glad you got the trophy, and I came to find you, but I don't think I did. By then I was really focused on that center zone. That turned out to be a really good game.

Cool. Look forward to you jumping in. These guys have gotten A LOT better, so it will be a little tough at first. Just have fun with getting killed a bunch, and I promise, it will be worth it when you do cool stuff...

...like sniping a warhawk from halfway across the map!

Sorry I missed the games tonight. My main computer went down and I've been rebuilding it all night.

Although I haven't exactly "mastered" defense, I decided it was finally time to start trying some offense on Flag maps last night. Borrowing the strategy from everyone else, I drove my jeep over to the other camp, took the flag, and drove my jeep off a cliff----and got a "Daredevil" trophy.

There's nothing more frustrating than driving a jeep for what feels like 5 minutes on those massive maps only to get blown up by a tank as soon as you reach your destination.

And, as always, apologies to my teammates for not being very effective and/or useful......like when I was driving a jeep with a teammate on the gun and I flipped it.

The strategy is actually to fly over to the other team's base and steal their jeep. Still, funny stuff though.

Guilty. I was playing defense...trying to stay out of the Warhawks unless I had to chase the flag. Grabbing a tank and a wrench and hanging out in the warehouse seemed like a good strategy for defense on that map...just pop out every now and then and take out the jeeps by the flag and watch your map for tanks or Warhawks.

And, as always, apologies to my teammates for not being very effective and/or useful......like when I was driving a jeep with a teammate on the gun and I flipped it.
I don't think that hurts the gunner, but
