Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
The other day a friend of mine came to visit and he wanted to play something in my PS3. I put him Warhawk and made a split screen player game and we were fooling around. He asked me about trophies and explained them to him. Achieve certain goals and get a trophy. He told me if I could get one to show him and I wasn't sure if it would work, and it did! There are like 4 or 5 trophies in Warhawk trophies I got this way.

I hit someone so far away I couldn't even see where they were in the scope, I was aiming at particular parts of buildings and the other person was moving in line with the bullet trail he saw from his perspective.
Shenanigans.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
I totally cheated on the aim-botting one! 
I did the same thing as Z on a bunch of others...showing a buddy the game and ended up making a game of getting obscure trophies...including the sniper one. It was stupid far away, and I am...shall we say...incredulous that Ofer pulled that shit off legitimately.
I earned all of the Warhawk ones except for one secret one in the Vaporfield glacier.

Now I can say I wasnt going for the trophy and I dont know when or what I did to get it. But I know there were games I played where I just sniped alot of people.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Sorry to say I won't be able to join up tonight. The gf is sick, so I've set her up in front of the tv and sadly she doesn't feel like playing for me.
Next week, gadget! But you guys have fun tonight.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
I thought I was going to end up in a quick-draw for a minute there!Kind of a weak showing tonight...lots of 2 on 2 or 3 on 3...but man did I laugh my ass off! Too much fun. When I watched Eric kill himself with his own TOW, I think I peed a little.

And watching Chew and Flip leave my base over and over on Badlands was a riot.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Sorry I was in and out, had a bunch of stuff going on outside of the game.
Did get one highlight/trophy which I thought I would never get, which was dropping a cluster bomb on frizby in mid air for the kill. Yeah, he may have been hovering(shooting at me though at least!), but damn if it wasnt a perfect shot as I flew right by. Had the game basically on mute though so couldn't hear if you even knew what happened there.

We were rolling pretty well on that one!It seems like hiding with the flag in the rafters of those bunkers is the new fad. There was one point where I was in one of each base's bunkers a few minutes apart and both flags were hiding in the rafters.
I have to give up on trying to take out a tank with the rocketlauncher. I think I hit a couple of them about 3 times a piece and didn't take any out. How many direct hits does it take, anyway?
I won't be on next week as I'll be away on vacation for a couple days. Try to go on without me.

And yeah, I knew exactly what happened...but I couldn't figure out how you were alive to do it. I'd just hit you directly with a large missile and 2-3 seconds of machine gun, which would normally take a Warhawk down easily. You didn't seem to be glitching or anything, but the game is just odd like that every now and then.
Still...f'ing phenomenal.

I guess that explains why you didn't hear me on the snow map.

One time you were pounding my tank with a rocket launcher but I kept hopping out the back to wrench my life back up. I think you hit me with 4 or so before I just ran... and then got killed by debris when digi (I think) blew it up with his tank.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
A wrench and a tank is a mean combo...tough to take down with anything short of a Warhawk or binoculars.
I'm fully convinced that the most dangerous thing in Warhawk is a dude in a tank with a wrench and a rocket launcher. It pretty much takes two people to take that down, no matter what you're doing.
I've actually considered turning the wrench and biofield off, which is a menu option. I just wish they had the same option for mines.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Who am I kidding...the TOW is near god-like.
Anyway, I forgot to mention that the TDM on Northern Bridge was a terrific round. The blue team never pulled ahead, but we made a hell of a game out of it. I think it was a 1 kill win. I kept meaning to go over and teabag Steve for binocular spamming, but I'd always get distracted by Digi.
I'm pretty sure we had a lot of close games last night...though I unfortunately had to sit out quite a bit to keep it that way.
It's amazing how "randomized" teams seems to end up more fair than "balanced" teams...though there was that one game with Digi, Eroc and me on the same team. 
Better attendance people!

Fair enough...but if it weren't for the TOW, the tank would be nigh unstoppable if you know what you're doing and have a wrench.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
I couldnt stick around much last night but I had some fun. Except for when chess rules the sky! I barely got a warhawk and before finding a weapon, you got me with that electircity friz. How the heck do you get it to stick to a warhawk; or at all really? I got one and all I could shoot were little bursts. I held the button down and it seemed to do nothing.
The wrench should never go. Its the TOW that really ruins this game for me. Oh and the binocular spam was pretty big too. I dont even know where to find most of the icons to these fucking weapons

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Funny, I hardly remember ruling the skies last night...eroc and digi were all over me on a couple of maps.
Folks who use the TOW as a long range weapon bug me too, but I use it just like a cluster bomb...short range...in and out. I also don't use it nearly as often as I could. I try to mix it up with cluster bombs (love to drop my balls on people) and electro-bolts.
Don't worry, I dig the wrench too. I just think about mixing up the options every now and then...a little team damage here...zero time to spawn there...a new map or two...etc.
To use the electricity burst like that, you just have to fly around with it fully charged (starting at 10 ammo and holding the button down until the circle fills). Sticking it to a Warhawk just requires a good shot. The funny thing is that it doesn't really do that much damage, but it's disconcerting to be stuck up there in a Warhawk with that thing stuck to you, and folks tend to panic a bit. Hitting ground targets with it is fairly easy.
If you ask in-game where to find the binocs or anything else, I will ALWAYS share, assuming I know. In the map where the binocs were overused, there's a pair at the top of the tower on the red side and a pair between the buildings on the blue side. If you are on the red side, there are some particularly good places to hide and binocular people.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Also, if you guys ever want to practice in the air, let me know in-game, and I will either back off of you or hoof it for a bit...provided the balance of the game will accommodate it.
