I got totally owned by IE - Natural and a 5150 guy on a server last night. Hah, it was nice to be completely humiliated by some of the best tribers in the history of the game.
I was stunned... "THEY still play?!"
It was great. Most of the guys on the server went to bed, leaving the teams 10 v 9 - BE vs DS. I was on the DS side, and they had 3 guys doing some O-sniping on Snowblind. People couldn't even spawn.
For my part, I fought them valiantly, but realized it was futile. 1v3 when I am in a light armor is simply no match. I might have tried a heavy with some mortar action, but I am simply no good in one of those things.
The best I could do was to try to keep em distracted fighting me for a while - which didn't quite work out. Over time, our whole team was trying to get them, but we kept fighting them one or two lights at a time. Perfect for them to simply chew up and get some sniping practice in.
It lead to an easy victory for the BE. Despite my annoyance at O-sniping, to my mind it is a viable tactic. I know people really hate it - because it is perfect suppression fire - but seeing it in action was really something.
I am still practicing how to snipe myself, and I get one or two snipes here and there - enough to be annoying.
Malthus...if you see this...that sounds like a good idea. I think I have enough parts for a 2nd Tribes server. Let me start working on it.
Gambit and I have been working on keeping the current T2 server where it is...but it might take some money to convince thme. We shall see.
It is on a Verizon 15mb down and 3 up connection and works great.
yours would even be better.
Man, I wonder how old Red Sirus is holding up? Hehehe, Plasma jumping is REAL damnit!!!! LOL
