Morning Discussion

I blame the baseball cap. The baseball cap is responsible for the decline of civilisation as we know it. Can you imagine a young hooligan wearing a bowler hat tipping over your bins, yelling at your nan and throwing a brick through your window? Of course not!

No, this young bowler-hatted ruffian would attempt to pick your pocket in an inept manner, then throw his hands up and say "It's a fair cop!" when caught. Carted off to an orphanage, he would of course flee following an incident sparked by complaints over the size of meal portions, but ultimately would end up living with a middle-class family, enjoying big dinners every night. And would never so much as consider torching your granddad's shed housing his collection of antique taxidermied badgers.

Thank you very much, baseball caps.

        I'm with you Maarten. So terrible. What's fun about 6 people waiting on the deck of an aircraft carrier for planes to spawn?

            a bit less so. Although there are still a shitload of smacktards.

              I enjoyed a match last week where two of our own teammates sat on the carrier blowing up the planes every time they spawned. And since there is no team damage, of course we could not kill them to stop it.

            It's pretty damn close. This map is awful, but the rest are great.

          It takes no more then 30 seconds for it to pop.

          Like i said in the other thread, you have to take the map for what it is. Its not a competitive map, its for having fun with planes. Thats why they made it a separate game mode.

          If you arent a good pilot you wont enjoy it.

            They do need to fix the scoring for ramming into other planes though and encourage flying. Last night I saw one guy do nothing but ram and at 20 points a ram he racked up over 400 points.

            Is this a planes only map or is there some kind of a ground element to it?

      It's a decent change I suppose, but not my favorite map.
      Needs a European Theater map pack. And a North Africa pack as well. I'd even accept a new unlock map like Coral Sea in with the map packs.

      Coral Sea is shite if I'm honest, you used to be able to parachute to the land and get on AA guns. The one in '43 is claustrophobic, too hectic and pretty aimless. Thankfully the other maps are 10x more awesome to make up for it.

          no, I would have to delete fallout 3, I can't play it otherwise because the 360 disc drive is near dead and I refuse to pay to fix it.

        You can get 120gb HDs new for ~$120 now, it really eases the strain on your disc drive too. I eventually just upgraded all my boxes to 120gb and it makes things so much better.

              it is mostly out of principle, I just can't justify that price for 120 gb

                It is the only reason that I do not have one right now. I have stared at them at best buy almost buying one, then I'll just walk out.

      I wish I could play it... every god damned server I joined last night was running Wake.

      • reply
        July 15, 2009 8:33 AM

        Why is it that Wake comes up so often, anyway? I think I've only played ONE round on Iwo Jima in the past week to the 20+ on Wake. Guadalcanal... maybe 5-6 times.

          July 15, 2009 8:35 AM

          Does the trial use the same servers? There could be a lot of people with only Wake.

            I dunno... there don't seem to be many privates in the games I've been playing, and I don't think you could get more than 1-2 ranks up in the trial period.

        You need to pick Air Superiority from the main menu -- it's not a map that's in regular rotation. It's its own game type.

      • reply

        Air Superiority is an option from the main menu.... you go straight to the map.

      it's a nice change of pace. and a good place to train with the planes. But after one round I went back to map rotation.

        I hope they release mappacks in some form. The badge "pacific campaign" seems to imply other options in the future, at least that's what I hope.
