Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I had a hard enough time just traveling from one end of the map to the other in my one Warhawk attempt, I didn't even try to use any weapons.
Good thing nobody paid any attention to me in the air.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
I really think the only way to get started in a Warhawk is to do it in an empty map. Just load one up and fly around blowing stuff up.
PRO FLIGHT...I cannot emphasize this enough.

About to fall off the first page...that is unacceptable!
Flip, you feel like hosting this week? With Chew out, I need a guarantee that you're in at 7PM. I figure if you're hosting, you're probably in!

Oooh. I can't guarantee that I'll be online at the get go. I'd say there's only a 50% chance that I'll be there on time.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
No worries...no reason I can't host...was seriously just looking to get you in early.
I'm picturing Steve, Z and me for the first half hour. I did ping eroc to try to get him in early.

Cool. If we can get Eroc, Wiz, Z, Steve, and myself on by 730...and hopefully early showings from digi and/or ofermod...we'll be in pretty good shape.
Still miss Chew though.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Will see what I can do, although I think once we start thinning out I am going to have to drop tonight instead of hanging on like usual until it becomes 1x2. Got some stuff I need to take care of.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Had fun but had to jump off.
Not sure what happened there at the end. Sounded like I was getting blamed for setting mines even though I didn't. I know I got killed by a mine from eroc in the basecamp and I don't know if that's because he set it or if someone else set it and he shot it.
And frizby sorry for killing you and evoking the wrath. I realized after I killed you that you might have been sitting it out, but then you killed me later and I thought you were in and so on and so forth, but I was confused. Hence the message I sent you. I wasn't sure if the teamkill on the next map when I was trying to take Zeidos out was a result of the wrath or not.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
No...not at all...that was just an attempt to even the game. It was purely coincidence that it happened to be you. I actually felt bad...like "oh damn, I'll bet he thinks I'm picking on him..."
And sorry I blamed you for the mines. I'm 100% sure it wasn't eric since they were red mines and he was on the blue team. If he shot it and/or grenaded it in your base, it would have given him a mine-kill. Anyway, that map ended up pretty even, so it's all good...and the truth is that I'm usually hoping someone will take a shot at me so I can play.
I got tired of sitting out rounds about 5-6 maps in and started playing a bit...just messing around mostly.
Flip and I were just getting abused on Tau Crater. That was brutal.
It's funny how much you see when you are holding back and just watching! I saw a bunch of funny stuff tonight: Z blowing himself up with his own TOW....Steve dropping a cluster bomb and then landing on them before they went off...Z launching a tank off a cliff...had a fun time trying to mutual teamkill digi...teamkilled Wiz...eroc is always hilarious...
Welcome to R2, and big ups for buying the DLC on the spot!!!! Hopefully you'll be a regular...but fix that mic before Chew comes back. He has a low tolerance for feedback and will tell you all about it. Try the settings in the original post.
Overall, awesome night!!!! We had 7 on when I shut down at 10:30, and that's about the most we've had that late.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
Also wanted to add that I enjoyed that last map...just for variety's sake. Every corner you turn and every ladder you climb, you just know somebody is going to light you up!
When we played with 3 on that map, it was a fairly strategic affair up on the rooftops. With 7 of us, we seemed to end up on the ground a lot more. Fun time though.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Dont want to start a controversy but it was me who left those mines! I decided to fuck around real quick and when I heard (TL?) say "Someones dropping mines!!!!!!" Than Friz "What?!!?!? Mines??! WHO?!!?" I busted out laughing because I wasnt expecting you guys to get so freaked. I figured someone knew it was me because I had fucking eroc and flip chasing me down with warhawks while I was on foot, dropping clusters AND shooting rockets!?! Talk about overkill. Yeesh.
But it was a fun night. I want to thank you Friz for being in the warhawk and getting hit by my TOW and me earning my trophy
. Than getting ya with a granade while in the hawk was damn nice, followed by getting Zeid with a grenade while he was in a tank.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
You're welcome...I was playing VERY casual last night. I had 20% team damage on, and I was having some fun with that.
Mines on the other hand...I think maybe I owe you some wrath next week!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night
And I don't know how I got 1st on that 1st CTF map. I guess many people weren't playing, but I was maybe in my best form then. And the whole time I was on the phone with my stepdad helping him get his keyboard... to work... with his computer... so maybe I should start doing that more often!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Actually, the only time I dropped mines was in the fallen capitol level and I dont think eroc was on my team because thats when he kept buzzing me and emptying everything he had on me while I ran around a boulder. Than flip flew by and just dropped a cluster. Maybe it was an accident but you ended up getting me flip
