Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

This is Warhawk, not hockey.

I'm not a libertarian if that's what you mean.

It was good to have you in the game, and I'm sorry there weren't more people in the game for you to play with. Most weeks we don't have any trouble getting to 10+.

Most games I tried over the week before I got to play with you guys are filled with land mines and no chatter or teamwork whatsoever. What a breath of welcoming fresh air. It was a great time and I think I'm hooked.
This is precisely why I started this weekly game...to play at a level that I was comfortable with and to play with people who I enjoyed being around (except for maybe Slider )

Picked up the DLC triple pack after everyone signed out for the night and I'm up for whatever maps. I will probably be a "final hour" guy the next two weeks, if you're all still around at that time. Otherwise, March 1 is probably my first Tuesday to play full-on.
Awesome news, and I'm glad you took the plunge. You're going to love jetpacks!!!

Thanks again, seriously.
If you want to target another game that is more fun than frustrating and rewards you for team play, I recommend Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Welcome aboard!!!!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Flip, Ktown and me against the wookie last night, and I think the wookie prevailed. Still...good times.

The wookie prevailed, but I still got his dogtags.

Good...hate to say, but the game wasn't the same without you. Cruz needs to find his way in as well.

Other requests for tomorrow?

I was in a game today on my day off and my entire team spent a majority of their time trying to ruin my good time. I hopped in a tank before someone else and everyone proceeded to gang up on me, knocking me around in the tank with their Warhawks, shooting and stabbing me over and over, barraging me with grenades, and so on. Friendly Fire was turned off so it never damaged me but it was ridiculous. I even watched them spend so much time bugging me they were killed by the other team as they took our flag. Several times.

So here's where I get absolutely naive: I've never played games online with people before. For whatever reason, I assumed there would be a certain level of civility. I messaged one of the biggest offenders and said I was disappointed in all of their behavior and if they don't want new people they should just set up a private server. He messaged back and said, "Yah that was hilarious." I guess I'm the goat. I feel pretty stupid.

You guys are angels in comparison.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Never message those people. They love it and more often than not consider it validation. Just bail the second you see that kind of stuff and find another server.

Warhawk is especially prone to that kind of behavior because it sort of "feels" like a big playground.

Because of how obnoxious the online kids are, I only play Warhawk in our weekly game, but if you want some practice, pick a night, and I'll set up some small maps for 1:1.

Oddly, I hardly ever see that kind of behavior in Battlefield.

True. But I have no idea why. Maybe it just caters to a different crowd? I rarely have any problems with douchenozzles on BFBC2. Some of my squad members can aggravate me with their uselessness though.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Definitely agree on few jetpacks. I don't know why, but they just annoy me on CTF or Collection. I enjoy them in death matches though.

I never load them on flag and only about half the time on collection...FWIW.

Fanboy?

I have never seen that on COD either. The only thing that makes me mad on COD is spawn camping.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Just got home from a way-too-late night at work followed by an extra surprise meeting so no Warhawk for me. I hope everyone had fun.

Hoping to be done with work/meetings and able to play by around 9:30pm CST next week. Otherwise, March 1 may be my first full night being able to play. Thanks, everyone, for welcoming me.
