Uhm.. Clam Humpers.... that IS a horde...There are squads out there that can accomplish the same task with a few guys on a defended field,  it takes you 20 guys to do, with a surprise NOE on an undefended field. for proof, look in a sector with a few Widowmakers flying around.

That's about as sad as it can get

Agreed

The red bull roll?

:O

I've been using Brawndo as a joke, but maybe I was really on to something.   :noid




Sad so sad.....

Second thought maybe pathetic is a better description.



Kinda scary how close this is mirroring AcesHigh.

According to the chattering class on this thread, taking bases is sad and pathetic, but taking screenshots of crash landings is cool?  “Oink” on country is cool?

Step back and ponder self identification and validation in the context of group dynamics.  You are cool only because a few other witless spammers go along with you.  You all need to open your minds.  You need to see that you are thread stealing thugs.  So, not cool to take bases, but cool to hijack threads?

This is a game.  Base taking is allowed in the game.  Base taking by hordes is allowed in the game.  Deal with it.

P.S. For the record, I agree that the opening minutes of 'Idiocracy' are hilarious.

Just because something is allowed in the game doesn't mean it's good game play or acceptable by the standards of the community, the game also allows people to switch countries and then help their squaddies sink cv's and capture fields. Which I think most people would say it unacceptable.  I'm not making a comment here on the validity of base taking or even hording as a method of game play but to use the fact that it's not expressly prohibited either by HTC or by game mechanics doesn't seem to be the strongest way to validate your point of view.

Having a L.I.M.P (Lightning Is My Plane) badge in your sig is not a validation, either.

You have a point.   Defining 'acceptable' is subjective.  Who is this community of which you speak?  If we are talking numbers, then hordes pretty much are the community.  What we are left with is what is possible in the game.  Whining about it one way or another changes nothing.

What got my blood boiling is that a few acrimonious squeakers pass judgement on flifast's well intended post.

This is the unfortunate truth and not everyone wants to just sit around and watch the game turn into this.  That is why even a well-intentioned post (which I agree that he meant no harm) should be commented on and the other side should be presented.

No, posting screenshots of an arena being reset along with the number of uber sheds you've killed is.

They need to put this on the side of their plane to show off all of their uber kills...

One thing about the SAPPs is that they are all buddies, and they never leave their buddy's behind.
