Like knights of old...
« on: March 20, 2001, 10:50:00 PM »
Tonight (3/20) I logged on hoping to do battle. And what I saw astounded me. A brave knight went forth in his modern steed to do battle. Tank against tank. Skill against skill. This knight, who shall go nameless to preserve his modesty, had valiantly slain an amazing 35 enemy. In fact, this noble soul killed me more than once, faster than I could even blink. And how did he do this you may ask? By, of course, charging up to where I appeared, and cut me down before I could even ready my horse. And who says honor and chivalry are dead.


Come on. Camping the GV spawn point and killing the other team before they can even start the engine is LAME. Its no better than flying off the map to bomb. HTC, can you set it up in the next release so that GV's will appear a small random distance away from the zone point?

I agree with the suggestion,

but you were the 'tard who kept spawning in front of him. I bet it was about 3 people who died 35 times

Wellcome in the jungle   Jokes apart spawning is like car-bombing, off-map travelling and ... buff-Browning    Really, I cant understand why a Lancaster pilot has to grab alt for, say, 20 minutes and a GV driver can pop up 500yds from an enemy field just clicking on a button ...

You should have done what everyone was telling you to do online...up from somewhere else.  I do agree it'd be nice if the spawn points were randomized a bit though.

I bet back in the good old days real knights were not stupid enough to die repeatedly by the same way but thought ways to avoid it.

Random spawning location would do no good with the keen sight that most of AH tankers have, you'd just have to wait another 5 sec longer to die...the only way this would work is if the random spawn was more than 2 miles away.  Trust me on this one.

Just grab a chog and go toast his butt, then you can hear him whine about turbo-lasers.

Why did I have a feeling that this crap was gonna be on here this morning?  I believe this community has become extremely predictable.  Many people told you over and over to just quit spawning there, and you ignored them and consequently gave one of the MAW members 30-something perk points fer yer stupidity.  I guess the bright side is that you helped him run outta ammo and when he exited his tank, his VH was down and he couldnt start his streak again.

I have no doubt that with the "determination" that you were showing last night, he could have racked up another 30 kill streak.

By the way, I was 2 of those kills....I was thinking he might just about be outta ammo and I decided to test him.  I was wrong.
