You guys still trying PlanetSide?

I'm not really feeling the love for COD:MW in MP.  Single player Campaign is good.


You can get BF4 Standard for like $20.  No subscription.  Servers still have plenty of activity.  Still my all time favorite FPS game evar!

If you ever want to play BF4 or BF1 give me a hollar.  I'll run with you.

The Pigs are invited to fly Massive Midway Mayhem January 25th at 9PM EST/8PM CST in SEA2.

Massive Midway Mayhem

Premise:
The IJN and IJAAF has launched a massive naval force against the island of Midway.  The USN and USAAF has intercepted the Japanese attack plans and deployed a massive naval force to protect Midway. 

Historical version: The Japanese had 4 aircraft carriers and support ships to launch attack against one island and it's defenses.  Two USN aircraft carriers and support ships were in place for defense along with Midway defenses.
What if? version:  Each side has 14 aircraft carrier fleets apiece and both have an island base for multi-engine bombers.  This makes it mostly even with the most abundant target rich environment possible.

Allied Objectives: Sink 13 Japanese carrier task forces in sector in 13,12 (Blue sector).  Destroy A24 (No Town attached) and sink single carrier group in 13,14 sector.
Axis Objectives: Sink 13 USN carrier task forces in sector in 14,11 (Purple sector).  Destroy A23 (No Town attached) and sink single carrier group in 13,9 sector.



Special Rules:
1) Unlimited Lives
2) Limited radar
3) Aircraft specific to Theater and Country
4) All 28 CV fleets will be kept in containment areas under CM control.
5) All fighter aircraft will have ground ordnance available.
6) Only the B5N2 and TBM are restricted to torpedo use only.  All other payloads will be inactive for those aircraft.
7) All deaths, bails and captures counts as points for the opposing side.  Players who bomb and bail will give points to other side in aircraft losses.
8) A23 is the only VALID airfield target for Axis.  Any ground targets destroyed at other airfields will not have any points rewarded.
9) Players are free to fly all the normally perked aircraft in the Main Arena for FREE in this event.

3 Hour event

Design Intent:
This style event is a mix of both Main Arena play and historical matchups created through Special Events.  There is a loose style created in design to allow for both individual players and squads to conduct their own missions using choice of aircraft.  At the same time, a Side CIC/CO can volunteer and organize with other players and squads to wage a collaborative campaign against the enemy.  This is not a registered event and side forums will not be available.  Planning should be done through other formats available.

The design has incorporated all aircraft available in game for each side.  The Main Arena ENY list is the measuring board for the Early, Mid and Late War planes.  The loose style allows for players and squads to choose any aircraft with no limits.  The design is created to reward players and squads who choose to fly Early or Mid War planes in air to air victories, sinking of ships and destruction of ground targets with greater points to that side. 

The design of the Objectives is to push each side for total annihilation of the other side.  This in turn creates a greater push to defend the ships and airfields.  The ack is set at .001 which translates to an aircraft receiving 1000 hits to equal 1 hit in the main arena.  Flying through 13 carrier groups will not result in a suicide run.  Taking fire from an enemy aircraft will be lethal.  Since the ack is set at .001, there is no need for players to man guns.

For any new players, you will not see your victories and or damage points when landing successfully.  The Special Events Arena has the ability to record the information as logs.  The logs can be found at ahevents.net under the Events Logs tab and then in the Snapshots Log for Massive Midway Madness.  The logs will be posted within a few minutes after the event has ended.  It will be divided between Allied and Axis, squad first by numerical and then alphabetical name and finally by ZZZ squad for those who don't belong to a squad.


A 3 hour event.  No T+60, unlimited lives, aircraft and mission  choice with no limits, MA perk planes FREE, and best fun you can have.  Bring all your friends.
