... just wondering :)


C'mon - you know the answer to this already.  The HO'er is the one who lived, the HO'ee is the one who died and whines about it on channel 200.

A new optimistic approach is, Yes they are reasonably easy to avoid, and you need to expect everyone is going to do it...............and when they do, most of the time they are noobs, and don't have a plan for a second pass.

When you plan it, you do not get into situation, when they have overwhelming advantage, so you do not have a chance to shot them all down from the overwhelming disadvantage.

Yeah, Furball, I know what you gonna say, go away =)

Well Tilt you are wrong.

In a 1 vs 1 engagement yeah it take two to ho.

In a 2 or 3 plus Vs 1 engagement you get ho'ed.  

Example, you are manuevering against three other guys, trying not to give any of them an angle to get on your six.  This reduces you options and outs.  Thus as you pull into the closest threat and go past that guy a forth comes flying head  on at you and blasts you in the face, before you have time and or "E" to manuever.

Thus taking only one person to Ho.

Tilt, you're a moron if you truly believe it takes two to HO.


By definition, it takes two to merge.  

It takes only one to attempt an HO.

Tilt mate, he's right.

But I do feel like I should disagree with him on general principle so.....
