Hello to all Jeep Racers.
This friday night Jeep Race event could possibly start at 10PM Eastern, 9PM Central, 8PM Mountain, and 7PM Pacific so more people might partake a little earlier and finish sooner. We will post on this in a few days.
This time the activities will be two short races and one longer endurance type race. The map being utilized will be the MMESA map. Bases A25, V22, A32, and A33 and the Ammo factory are the key starting and ending places. Two races will be won by the player who captures the base. The endurance race will be won by the player who reaches the finish line first. The first 2 races players will take 3 troops.
Race 1) Players will spawn from V22 NW to Ammo factory. They will line up abreast on a designated player as best as possible. All players will kill their engines. On a signal by the CM through the text buffer, the racers will start engines and speed off to the town at A32. The town will be completely down with both buildings and guns. The first player to reach the maproom and get three troops in for the capture will win.
Race 2) Players will spawn from V22 NW to Ammo factory. They will line up abreast on a designated player as best as possible. All players will kill their engines. On a signal by the CM through the text buffer, the racers will start engines and speed off to the town at A33. The town will be completely down as well like Race 1. The CM will pre-determine the amount of troops it will take to capture the base. Once all players have begun the race from the spawn point, the VH at A32 will be opened for continuing runs to the A33 town to release more troops. Only the CM will know the number. Players can release troops anywhere in the town, end mission and respawn again until capture is acquired.
Race 3 (Endurance Race) Take 2 vehicle supplies for this race. Players will launch from VH at A25. They will travel west from A25 towards the mesa. The mesa is around 8,000 ft high. From the VH to the top of the mesa will take 15 to 20 minutes depending on individual route and ability. Once at the top of mesa, players will have a flat area with some slopes and depressions along the way. The finish line is the water tower at the Ammo factory. The first player to ram straight into the base of the water tower wins. Expect the race to be 45 minutes.
It is highly suggested to practice the Race 3 offline as to find a good route to climb. There are many deceiving slopes that will cause a jeep to get caught in a never ending roll.
Thanks to Marshal for being the CM this race.
