what is a horde?

Last nite approx. 20 players battled it out at 8k to the deck in groups of 3-4 with no other players jumping in where they weren't needed---except when Leviathon needed a group hug to take him out--lottsa Salutes and friendly Vox and plain old good spotsmanship made for a very enjoyable evening.

Gangbangers!  Horde warriors!

Fun fights the other night, Sax.  It seemed everyone wanted a piece of my hide, and for the most part everyone got a part of it.  Good times!

Drediock - yes, I'm sure the hordes exist on all the maps; the pizza map was unique in spreading things out a little, so that if you killed someone, at least you knew he wasn't going to be back in your face 2 minutes later in an LA7 with a full clip.

I think you and I derive satisfaction from the same types of gameplay. I agreed with this...

I have no problem with the land grab. I enjoy it as much as I do the dogfighting.
But the best landgrab fights I've been involved in both offensively and defensively are the ones where both sides have fought desperately over a base until one eventually gets the upper hand.

Not the ones where you send a billion and one people to attack a base or bases where the outcome is certain due to sheer numbers long before they have ever even reached the base they are attacking.

THAT is a Horde

But wait... I wasn't the first to agree with you. Mars01 got there first... which means that - OMG - I'm in full agreement with Mars01!

For the roughly 30+- persons who fly the CT, the action more of the time is what many of the posters in this thread are wishing for in the MA. Admitted it is a big furball, but a furball of excellent sticks who want the flow and flavor of the ingagment to last for awhile.

By choice, except when MA players show up in numbers, we tend to keep the vulching, hoarding and other bad habits to a minimum. Most week nights between 6-9pm PST you can find a good ongoing fight of mostly even sides. Shane flys there alot and he tones down his channel 1 taunting. Must say something for the quality of the CT.

I know its not strat busting, land grabbing, big numbers. But it's a change that can challenge your ACM, and SA.

And yes I was just voted the worst stick of the CT for all time........so go ask Arlo if anything I'm talking about has merit.
