Went online for a bit last night. Was flying around the MA when i decided to go into the 8 player arena to meet some friends.
I entered a server whose host was 'Revolver'. At first, pretty nice guy, friendly and reasonable. Eventually we started arguing about the Spitfire. He stated it is completely overmodeled in everyway possible. All I stated is that only the 16 seems overmodeled and only in turning. He rebuttled by saying 'no spitfire could dive so fast. They had wooden wings.'
...
Yes. Wooden wings. Ok, wonderful. Someone who states that the Spitfire is overmodeled believes it's got wooden wings. I told him that in 1943, a spitfire dove to mach 0.80 +. After responding by telling me how much of a bull@#$tter i was, he kicked me. Awesome.
The spitfire really isn't the point, it's how ignorant/arrogant some people can be. Sometimes it begins as a friendly descussion of politics. Ends up in some people getting kicked, even though they didn't say anything wrong or completely illogical. I stand up for them I get kicked. Noobs start playing. Others say 'give up noob, go home' or something like 'leave that dumb lala in the hangar'. After hearing such, I find that's just stupid. It's a game. Games = built for fun. Unless they're really screwing around with you, why would you even be so hostile to them? Bah. Just on my mind.

The freeloaders didn't get to vote, Ted.

I've seen too many squeakers in here post about H2H. I've never gone in there, and I don't plan on it.
-
I've actually had some pretty good times in the 8 player rooms. It's a good chance to goof around with planes I almost never fly in the arenas.
Take them for what they are worth...

I stand by my signature.

dantoo had that sig for years :)
H2H is fun, you can find suprising people in there...freeloaders that shot offline drones for years and can kill anything that comes within d800 instantly at the end
A bad habit is to set ammo mult to 10....then everyone up nikies and set conv at d650

email????
8v8 host still use HTC server for authenticaion.
If the squeaker has habitual boot syndrome HTC can ban host ip.

Many times at late nights when not many are in the arenas I bring up the Freebie servers and contemplate entering. :cool:
Then I recall my experiences many years ago with the game Diablo which also had freebie servers. I recall insane setups, rediculous hacks and cheats installed and members of the human race the likes of which I had never met in my life nor now looking back do I ever want to encounter again.
Then I either go to offline practice or log out and watch the tube. Figuring I've had enough of them.
Later,

dont diss the 8 playa
when im bored of ma furballing i jump into one of many a freinds surver sometimes coming out going wow those were some great fights.
alot of the more vet hosts will set up rules so squeakers satay out and u get a mad 1 on 1 experience kinda like Da but better :aok
-
Oh yes. Full realism wins! And having awesome, custom maps just makes it that much more of a fun place. Too bad some of my buddies hate the cockpit view.

3 months ago when i first started playing I was lke WOW these guys are good i will never get the hang of this.
3 months later i realize that in 8 player servers its all about spray and pray and HO.
I have learned 3 things about 8 player areans
#1 if they dont have unlimeted ammo they start screaming for it (when i host you get same ammo as in MA)
#2 IF you can avoid there HO you win 90% of the fights
#3 98% of them are NOOBS with no skills what so ever(just because you been playing 5 years and are a HO queen or a cheery picker dont mean your not a nob if you havent learned anythng).

t=Try the Furballer.com arena(and also the website). Domin, bighorn, sonic, Dmon amoung many other great duelers of the game go in there. It'll be an eye opener:aok

Ive seen some good rooms, Ive even hosted a few. The cool thing is you can choose yer own settings: No Jets, No GVs, No Buffs, fuel & ammo at 1.0, Teams- keep it even or feel the boot!
And rants about H2H belong in "Free Multiplayer" :aok

It depends on the host, the map, and the people in there at the time.Sometimes it's really fun in H2H and other times it's FUn.Most of the time it's FUN.At least in my world it's FUN.Jousting with rockets, Racing with rockets under hangers, Flying 262's in a figure 8 HO shooting 1 another, or just plain F'in off it's always FUN.
If your not having FUN why even LOG IN @ ALL?:aok
