I miss you guys 

[Kodiak]

I didn't think I'd get quite the response I have. I received several messages of interest, mostly ingame PM's and even a few through YouTube - looks like we are a GO!

What format would everyone prefer this to be in? I've never held a "class" before, so I'm not sure what the typical accepted format here is.

Any input would be appreciated - thank you!

 

Here are some ideas for the name of your class:

1. How To Fly Like Aces High Is An Xbox Game

2. Kill With No Skill

3. I Can Joust But I Can't Fly!

"Jousting"??

Is that what we call it now?

Whoever has the sturdiest steed and wields the biggest potato?

Somebody let HTC know they can fire the trainers and close the TA down, looks like we won't need them anymore.

This whole thread has stretched my medulla oblongata to it's limit.

I think I must be an old Dinosaur.

HO lessons?

what else. He IS the master at it

Let me ask you, then. Here was a fight, with you, from when I had only been in the game ~3 months or so (I uploaded it some months later as I was clearing out old Fraps files):

Admittedly, my flying is no longer that rough. However, I did manage to win. So with that, does that kill count? If that kill counts, and I am capable of indeed beating you (which I've done several times since - fun fights by the way), then why should I make the effort of purposely prolonging the fight when I know with high probability how that fight will turn out?

If I know I can win, and I can do so either in 10 seconds or 10 minutes, why should I opt to waste 9 minutes and 50 seconds for the same result?

Are you saying that even if I could with with 100% repeatability, that only the fights where choose to fly by my opponent's preference should count? Or are you saying I need X amount of kills to "prove" myself? If the latter, how many times must I kill someone to earn the right for those stats?

I'm curious as to your answer.

Why is it relevant that the fights were fun? In this film your opponent had several shot opportunities on you. HOing him would have been far safer as well as more time efficient for you but unfortunately you were facing the wrong way. Like several of your films.

I didn't think I'd get quite the response I have. I received several messages of interest, mostly ingame PM's and even a few through YouTube - looks like we are a GO!

Did you? One would of thought replying in this thread would have been more facilitatory for everyone. Can you give a list of those who are interested?

Ok... who cloned Shane? 

I dont remember Shane (the original not current) as being much of a HOer. And I used to hunt him regularly

Don't come back.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Just like when encountering anyone from your squad.  It's always a team effort.

Your an easy kill

My feeling on HOs....I've recently started doing them more because of people taking multiple HO passes, so the third I've been just shooting back...used to not do any at all...maybe some questionable ones every once in a while but none deliberately. They are for the most part easy to avoid, against people with good aim....such as 2cmex...it's a lot harder.(really not hard to hit with an n1k) I don't do it because I'm thinking about the other guy, maybe he only has time for 1-3 sorties a week/month, I don't want to take the gameplay from him with a cheap shot.

Picking....that's something I can, and do pretty well amongst the community. It is harder to have the SA to set it up but at the same time, IMO easier to avoid/ push the fight further past the 3-5 seconds it will take to complete a HO.

You do you...I'll do me....still going to call it as I see it...a cheap shot.

[Stang]

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

[Zerstorer]

 

Most enjoyable.  Especially given about half those who have posted I have been HO'ed by (successfully and unsuccessfully) in the past.

So remember, kiddies...HOs are not OK....except when they are.
