The Good:
-------------
Best: as in the world of chess: Having a good hard fight (win or lose) with an opponent that is very close in skill level to yourself.  Nothing beats that.  I would no more berate someone who beat me in a good fight, than kick in a fine stain glass window.  To note: this should be done in the DA - NOT the main arenas.

Also good: enjoying all aspects of the game and learning to get good at everything: 1vs1, many VS many, GVing, divebombing, level bombing, field gunning, base captures - whatever - to me what keeps the game fresh is there's just so many ways to play the game and have fun.

The Bad:
-----------
The biggest dweeb of all is a skilled player who thinks he's an uber ace, and just starts whining and complaining when he gets beat (regardless of the situation).  Nothing is worse that that.... I mean, you expect that from a n00b, but when a veteran player does it, it makes me wanna puke.  I can't stand someone who can't take a loss like a man.  watermelon Happens - we've all been on the good end of it, so don't cry like a little girl when you're on the bad end of it.

Also can't stand the furball dweebs in the MA complaining that base capturing shouldn't be done - if you really feel that way, STAY OUT OF OUR ARENA - go to the DA or Axis & Allies - where base capturing is NOT the main focus.  Don't like the game play ? STFU, pick up your toys, and go somewhere else!

I love a good 1 on 1 fight like anyone else, but I also enjoy all the other aspects of the game - I firmly believe in letting people play how they want without harassment - unless you're paying their bill, you have no business mouthing off.

Cheaters also suck - you know the type - dual account spying NOE bustin' claim jumpers/rasslers.

I may have generalized a bit too much, but the amount of mindless furballing with no objective is quite a bit more.  But hey, spend it how you want.  I'll choose and pick my battles.

While I feel quite uncomfortable defending the furballers, but:

Most spam in countrychannel doesn't come from that guys but from us "strategic" players:

"What a waste of resources!"
"WTG, we just lost another base!"
"ALL ATTACK A25, you XXX!!!"
"Why can't we never get organized?? We suck!"

And all those  little generals and their inane chatter about their MISSUNZ (B17 & Spitfire I & LVT's, all 75% fuel taking off from a vulched base)...

 :(

This game has never been about "capturing fields" or winning the "war".  It has always been about aerial combat, everything else is geared to encourage that.

Bottomline... This thread is simply just storch once again finding yet another avenue to bash squads he dis-likes... I gurantee it has nothing to do with what people like best or worst about the game.

The best = This community.  I'm not sure another one quite like it exists.  I'm sure the "long" flight time to fights helps foster it (kind of hard to get to know people on BF2 or such), but whatever it is, it's great.  Any time any one needs any thing, someone is there - even people who don't normally get along.  I like that a lot, and it's the thing I think most of our friends and family just don't "get."

The worst = The kid at the playground who starts some trouble with you until you flinch towards him, who then runs off as far and fast as he can, waits for a few of his buddies to get tangled up with you, and then ever so cautiously sneaks back up to you while you're preoccupied...  Inches closer and closer...  Pauses for a moment, and pokes you in the eye real quick before running away again.

I'm sorry, but that's a fitting description for some of you.  Deal with it :D

Yep.  He's probably feeling left out now that SkyRock is getting so much attention.

Thats a great first post there........................ ............ Shadesboy :D


Best- air to air combat, any kind ! even numbers, out numbered what ever, as long as you fight, Im in !

Worst- HOs to me it just ain't fighting. No class, no skill. It takes balls to work for an angle to take a shot, all the while your enemy has the same chances.
