I know I rarely stick around until the end, but is there an official sign-off?
Strange...I didn't hear you at all.

I guess that seals it then: I have to switch from "Push to Talk".

I also had a delayed response in answering one of your questions last night too because I couldn't Push without affecting my movement.

Yeah, push to talk is only for people with crappy mics. You have probably the best mic in the group.

My reasoning for going Push to Talk was not due to my mic, it was because I do a lot of under-the-breath grumbling when I'm on the receiving end of a whoopin'

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I think we should keep grinder in the rotation at least a couple more weeks until people get used to it. It is a fun map I think as long as everyone knows what they are doing. It is a good map too because if you dont know what you are doing then all you have to do is sit at your own flag with a flame thrower and rack up points killing the suckers that try to take the flag. The only way for someone to get away from you is to either kill you or to time everything just right to get away with the flag with out exploding. I would like to not give up on it yet, especially since we seem to be getting more people and the sweet spot on that map is a few more people. Everyone just needs to get the expansion pack.

Horde mode was fun, although on the badlands map Eroc popped in and threw the balance off. I dont know that Friz and I could have taken everyone at that time so we maybe should have done a trade.

I liked the readdition of the dogfight. Could probably do that with a different map layout that would allow some people to jump into a missle turret to have some fun with that as well.

I think if people would just get the "Broken Mirror" DLC, they'd be included in most of the expansion maps we use.

Obviously, I love the snow maps. I'm not a big fan of "Fallen Star" and "Omega Dawn" is just OK.

I get the attraction, but I think this one is just pure attrition, which isn't really Warhawk's sweet spot IMO. But hey...I'm game, provided nobody on my team decides to "snipe for a while".

We were doing OK, but it was a hell of a fight!

We did this once. It was called "South Islands" I think...Flip loaded it...and Chew, in his missile turret, must've killed you 30 times.

I think you're probably right about "Broken Mirror"...but I think I like Fallen Star better than Omega Dawn.

Some of my favorite moments lately are when I see you from the air...all alone...on top of a big rock.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

Just noticed that I was on post 9,999...and I figured post 10,000 had to be in this thread.

edit to add:

BALLS!!!

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I can, but it kind of depends on how many plan to show up. It is Christmas week, so it could go either way.

I'm guessing hosting keeps you up a bit later than you'd like?

Flip?

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I can host. That shouldn't be a problem.

There will be a Grinder.

10:00 is fine.

I'm on vacation this week, so I'll be in until the end this time.

Re: Weekly Tuesday Warhawk night

I'll let you two sort it out, but since Flip is committed to the Grinder, I'll vote for Chew.

Chew commits to the Grinder, too. (Commit, dammit.)
