They’re up early today Turks if you’re up for a game, and anyone else. Neglected this game over the past week, so going to put some hours in today.

Not sure its a game for me, I may try it later but its a bit slow paced for me
Have you even played the game since that first day when all of us were running around not really knowing what to do? The game plays very similar to bf3 in a fight, but there is downtime between fights a bit like eve, which is probably why you felt it was slow paced…which it is at times, but like in eve, it’s the big moments that make all the difference.
The way to get some enjoyment out of the game is teamwork and squad play which we really should be able to organise here. On sunday evening, alex (automaticmeat in bf3) and me created our own two man squad and launched our own invasion of VS territory. On our own we captured and held a tower not far from the vs warpgate, and defended it against increasingly ferocious attacks, with no backup. We actually created our very own hot spot on the map doing this, iand both of us racked up some class kill streaks…i think my best was 18 or something, and when this happened other people started appearing from both sides. Not enough of our guys turned up to help and we lost our hold on the point vs 50+ people who arrived to repel us. Considering we lasted against these odds for half an hour, we felt justifiably pleased by our efforts. That was two of us, imagine what 5 or 6 of us could do.

Sounds good – ill try it again
Got a squad planned for tonight if anyone’s about. The last two we’ve done have both resulted in our own hotspots on the map, and last night we captured one of the major points on the map with just 3 of us 🙂
Awesome, though you guys always pick night’s when I don’t have as much time. I’ll be home shortly and will likely get on ps2 shotrly after 6 then hopefully get something started that you guys can carry on. Played at least a 5 hour session of this last night with alex, and it’s fair to say i’m starting to see what all the hype’s about. We had a blast playing any number of roles, including stubborn defenders, attacking support, shock troops, as well as whack a mole duty, clearing up any infiltration behind our lines.
Although we spent most of last night on the move attacking, when I look back on it now our biggest achievement was in the defence if aoutpost on our western front versus vanu. The Nc server population had dipped to about 25% vs vanu’s 40% for a couple of hours and our entire western front collapsed under the pressure of numbers…all except a little known hex on a crossroads north of tawrich. Alex, myself, and four other unaffiliated players held this against all the odds, vs sustained armour, air, and infantry attack. This hex was the only point on our.front not to fall while our population was low. We held it until things recovered and helped mop up elsewhere after it was finally secured. It is this sort of thing, which comes completely out of the blue, that makes the game.
