Titan maps?? Yes, please. I'll be on around nine.

I think you have three choices:
1) Fly choppers
2) Snipe
3) Kill Swampy
Or some combination thereof.
I've got your numbers, I got all your numbers!
Hopefully my new build will play nice and I'll be able to make it.
Is this topic a buzzkill or what today?

The game is getting long in the tooth it seems. Maybe tonight we'll get reinvigorated.

I'll be in late. I'll also be playing sober.
What I want to do is have my squad man up a Goliath, and the extras support the Goliath in vehicles or on foot. On maps with Goliaths (Goli?) that is all my squad will do, point to point. I think that will be cool.
Applications for Ground Swampy now being accepted!
You don't have to call me Lieutenant, Rosie......
Woof Woof! That's my other dog imitation...

All applications come with a complimentary bottle of peroxide and box of gauze.

You'd think it would've reignited the spark, but everyone seemed a bit out of it last week. Perhaps a passing phase as we all get used to the new maps and such...

Maybe we just need to listen to more Journey and Styx songs.

Or maybe Richy just wants to move on to something else and needs to convince us we are too so he isn't lonely.

Okay, I promise to make it through one Northern Strike map without complaining about how I don't like the map.
I hope some creative person comes up with a mod that has a Mad Max/Hover Jeep race kinda thing for the NS maps.
Sorry, I won't be there. Out of town on business.

For me the expasion fubar'd 2142 all together, or maybe it was the EA Link. The game dosn't run at all now. I miss Jarhead.
Cartoonin's new avatar is looking nice.

Ugh. After a couple of hours of playing my system starts to hard crash (a shutdown crash). I think it's my 8800 GTX getting too hot, even though I have four freak'n fans.
Didn't make it last night, the stomach bug has run through (pun intended) our house and I got it yesterday. It feels like the plague or possibly Malaria.

Richy Rambo : It's a Journey song, you idiot!
Swampy: F*** You Richy Rambo.
My wife and I had the bug about a week ago. I feel your pain. Maybe everyone will play over the weekend??

sh*t Props.
Try taking the side off the case when you play. Are you sure you pluggied the card's fan power in?
I had fun last night guys, and I'll be playing 2142 until it's successor comes out.

They just don't seem as playable as the vanilla maps. Too big, too many wide areas that allow walkers to dominate. In one of the maps last night, my k/d ratio after spending a huge amount of time in the walker was something like 15:2, and I'm terrible with walkers. I just kept finding defenseless infantry on their way between points. And being on the other side of that equation as infantry sucks. Even driving from one side of the map to the other is a dreary exercise in route planning to avoid all the obstacles. Nothing killer about those maps, but they just don't feel right.
I was happy to go back to vanilla maps. Lots more action. I thought we ended up having some pretty fun rounds.
I think that under the right conditions what you are saying is wrong about the maps can be made right by the players if air transport is available. On the titan versions of the maps air power is a necessity. Transports need to ship squads to the silos. They need air defence from gunships. Air support which on the vanilla maps was not as crucial is now very important. The downside to this is that playing with a bunch of pubtards who take transports out of their titan with ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ELSE IN THEM will kill a round but quick. However for our Thursday night sessions where most of the server is filled with our guys, I see lots potential.

I can't judge the map by what could be if only people would get their stuff together. Just by what I've played so far and how people seem to play normally.
If you're using a dual core processor make sure to set the affinity to the 1st CPU! This stopped all of my crashes.

That's what I was trying to say. Playing with a bunch of pubtards will make the maps suck. Playing with the goodjers on Thursdays, where we are all on Ventrillo and are dominating the server and playing semi intelligently will make them fun.

Ahhh...
Nice try on the stealth C4'ing there Indignant. I heard the tell tale noise of your cloak going down as you were about to plant the explosives on my tank last night. It's fun watching bodies fly through the air.
