Title: Main Arena Results?
Post by: mos on July 07, 2003, 02:09:19 PM

Is there any way to see which side won the last (few?) main arena battle(s)?  I reluctantly logged off last night pretty clear that we were going to lose in a few hours.  (If I didn't have work the next morning I would have stuck it out to the bitter end, but ah well.)  This morning I logged in real quick to check and, sure enough, there was a new map.  But then I'm told to check again less than 3 hours later and there's yet another new map.  WTF?  I sure would like to see some sort of history reporting, I'm interested in knowing what happened.

MA only changes on fridays, so how can there be a new map? Maybe one of the h2h rooms calls itself MA?

:confused:

My mistake.  The map itself was the same, but the country held entirely different positions on the map.

Maybe I'm missing the point and no one really cares if their side wins or loses.  :confused:

Am I silly for actually trying to defend important bases, take strategic locations, and basically screw over my own score in order to keep my side on top?

When I defend a base to the bitter end, I don't do it to keep my side on top, I do it to annoy the livin crap out of the guys trying to take it.

My favorite is to follow a goon for a while and hold off killing him until he is within sight of the town.

Or loiter around a goof who pulled his chute too high. I let him hang until he's floated all the way down, then pop him inches from the ground.

In the end, my pleasure is not derived from who wins the war, but from how many people I can get to smash their joysticks into little pieces.


Of course, thats just me. :p

Bet you used to do the old "Baby Ruth" bar in the pool thing too :D. Yes, peeing in the other guy's pool is a major motivation :).

I'd like HTC to post MA stats too.

That my friend is a matter of personal choice. You do what you enjoy doing..

And fly what you want..

If you feel like driving something, your prolly in the wrong game..

But then again, that's just an opinion..
