New radar = boring ...bring back old radar

[uptown]

Old rings were fun.


Some of the squad missions was to go NOE around the dar rings and take some obscure V-base way behind the lines. Capture it with the hangars up made for a VERY fun time upping tigers and waiting for the mass of GV's to come flying back in there to get it back  

this says alot

alot?

I think it's a cowardly way to play. What's so wrong with meeting the enemy head on in a video game. Has this game now become about the sneak and not so much about the fight anymore?

I think you need a reality check Uptown. When you start using serious terms like cowardly to describe how a person plays a cartoon video game.. It is a cartoon video game right?  That is Funny..

Ya mean "cowardly" like vulching, spawn camping,alt monkeys etc etc etc??

The fight?

[uptown]

How about I change cowardly with chicken chit. Does that make it more acceptable to you? Seems like alot of that going around these days. Oh my there's a alt monkey. Let me dive to the field to get into my ack....instead of learning how to fight a alt monkey.

oh please, there is just some much wrong with this statment. So much assumption, allegation and misconception in it.

I for one have crossed the sword with da EGG and his companions alot of time. They are definitely NOT the kind of guys "sneaking" base after base, immediately aborting when there is any resistance. They are not the kind of players grabbing undefended bases one after another, but then leave it to others to defend them. They are not the kind of bombers that bail as soon as they see someone catching up.


Also we are again back at the wrong assumption that objections about the new radar system are about "not fighting at all" or sneaking bases.

And if you really want to use cowardly... the new dar in many cases supports "cowardly" behaviors, sometimes even making them necessary.

I distinctly remember HiTech's stated dislike for mega-squads. With this setup, he now inadvertantly seems to have catered to the mega-hordes.

  I agree,  has become a giant furball, yes you can still find a fight here and there but old radar was MUCH BETTER.
This is kind of like space invaders now.

Apparently you can't see how hypocritical that statement is.

The irony.

  I think you miss the point, there use to be a variety of ways to play the game, something for EVERYONE. Now it is just big furballs at a few bases.

I will also add I am really starting to not like playing the game the way it is. I have been playing the game for about 6 year and since the radar change have not enjoyed it as much. And before someone say your join
date is 2008 I played the game for several years before joining this forum. I played when we had night and fighter town over the lake, one of the most fun maps IMO.

You, by chance, wouldn't be talking about (gasp!) a fight that resulted from a sneak, would you?

Maybe

That's just it. We tend to view this in such a polarity that we forget there is a gray area- that being just enough tactical flavor to keep the suspense in the game, much like how Lusche likes to hunt down bombers. I don't advocate sneak after sneak after sneak, but I don't advocate all seeing-all knowing radar either. That's what hunting for your prey is, not Hitech "snapping is fingers" as Q would do on Star Trek and "POOF!!" Here it is folks! Come kill it!

Oh, well. It's his "continuum". As long as the money rolls in, it doesn't matter.

dude....i just had a set of buffs drop, i got a shot on em, and in his effort to get his second drop, he turned like a fighter, giving me kills on his drones, then augered as he dropped his last......and hit nothing.

 same dude, i never got close enough to shoot.....he dropped and bailed.

 fighters for most of the night wouldn't fight. hell....i had a coalt spit9 ran from my 38j at 20k. only the last hour tonight(around 10'ish eastern) got good.

Easy does it there cowboy. Your going to blow a gasket! Whats wrong with a guy diving to the field when confronted by an alt monkey? He pays so he can play the way he wants to..If he chooses to sneak bases ( although fairly  impossible now), run to the base ack, or avoid the fur ball . He pays to play that way...You will just have to find another easy kill..
