The CON weapons

[uptown]

Flying PT boats, RV8s, sharks and claws? WTF!? I don't know about everyone else, but my interest in WW2 warfare and flight sims is what brought me to the game to begin with. Not space monsters, mother ships and assorted UFOs. For once it'd be nice to see something actually based on reality. B29s, subs, higher octane fuel, King Tiger tanks, Dornier 335s....There are a million things that purtain to WW2 that could be developed for the con nite, but what does HTC come up with? Sharks, lazer beams and pink poop!? Come on HTC. Why not a nuke or something. I personally find the con night to be a huge turnoff.
I think if i spent the time and money to drive to Texas to take part only to find out we had flying space claws to fly i'd just shut the computer off and go to the bar and get drunk. I'm just curious as to how many like this type of thing or do you find it complete nonsense as I do.

Only happens once a year, keeps the con goers happy (and we pay for it)

17 hours driving from Fargo ND
Hotel for 3 nights at 75$ a night.
125$ con registration fee

Flying a Claw at the evil con mission, Priceless!

Shooting a CLAW down in a WWII era prop plane...... Now that's priceless!!!

lighten up uptown. 

Once a year FUN.

[Knite]

Sorry uptown. I found it flat out hysterical. Something to lighten up the mood of a game in which a lot of people take too seriously. It was something new, different, and completely unexpected.


Like the old Squid or Pizza.

Uptown.... Prozac is your friend.  Take it large doses.

Hello Uptown,

You gotta lighten up and enjoy the break from the grind brother.  It was here and gone in less than 4 hours.

Same here, it was fun. I do remember one year I wasn't to happy with it. It was the year we got the ME163. We were on the old AKdesert map (pizza) and our squad (444th Air Mafia) was running ops. We were try to take abase, one of the higher alt ones and all of a sudden all of these 163's come swooping in and just wiped us out, we never stood a chance!

- think it might have been around that time I finally figured out that this was a game and were just here to have fun. Been having a blast ever since!  <S> HTC

Hey Uptown,

Even though I have not been able to attend any of these conventions, I think it's great that HTC shows interest in their players.  They are very active on the BBS, they are very approachable via email or phone calls, they like to have fun (Great Pumpkin and Santa Claus flying around on those holidays), etc., etc.

As far as everyone's whines about them wasting time on attending the conventions, throwing together something fun and hysterical for the con-goers, not adding all the ludicrous requests for ridiculous things (just check out the wishlist sometime), and your whine in this thread...

Suck it up and just have fun.

FIXED:

Agreed.  Also to the extent that it seems more is put into the con than the game itself.  
It must have taken plenty of time to develop all the things for the CON night, you would think and hope that it would not detract from the ongoing development of the game.

[uptown]

Ok guys you're missing my point here. HTC has pages upon pages of requests for new things and sneak peeks of what's coming in the updates it seems like common sense to me that the evil con missions would be the perfect time for this type of thing. Not space monkeys and lazer beams. Who here has requested a claw and space poop?

Dad gets it 

[Boozeman]

Hmm, am I the only one seeing SPACES HIGH comming soon on XBox live?
