I spent Bazaar dying behind Judges LAV and Oman helping hold D.
What was happening elsewhere?
at least you to the plan then...
bazar my squad got lost in translation
Sorry bud, I did end up trying to follow you around!

The challenge on a map like Bazaar is if the oppo is running around in groups of 8, a single squad defending will just get swamped, especially if they are reviving. They take the flag exceptionally quick too with those numbers.

Maybe the solution is to have a vehicle squad, and a big infantry squad, constantly running and capping flags. One player from each infantry squad deliberately holding back to perform revives/ act as spawn points. Vehicle squad thinning their numbers and providing heavy ammo support.

Blitzkrieg tactics do seem to work on a lot of maps...

Oh, and a couple of spoiler players running sprint and c4 to sneak round the back, charge through a group on a suicide run can have amazing effect...

Think we have some players that would enjoy that role (me included!)

My personal highlight of the evening was after the server kicked us and we all went back on Bazaar. Judge suggested we let them capture the flags so the server would move onto the planned Oman round. He then sat in the LAV with his arms metaphorically crossed steadfastly refusing to move while most of us ran around like naughty school kids. Their LAV later blew him up and someone on our team got into our LAV before Judge could and drove away laughing biglaugh
That would have been me. Didn't last long, due to the pins being stuck in a little model of me in a LAV...

Voodoo judge. Like the demon headmaster.

I thought it was available now?
Hope I am not being a pain but any luck renewing the server, think it ends Thursday?
I'd completely forgotten!

The missus is playing tomb raider, I'll have a look once she's done...

If it won't let me renew before the server runs out, I'll set a reminder to renew it as soon as I get home Thursday night...

Right, may have just dropped a 50 quid bk...

Just bought another 3 month server license, tried to apply it to the PH one, and it currently won't let me - it's saying I now have two servers...

However, the new one isn't started yet, so hoping once thePH one has run out, I can apply the license against it. Otherwise it's going to be a massive balBallachulish for everyone setting up the new one and adding it to favourites lists etc.

Won't be able to check until at least Thursday night once I'm back from Zurich, so looking like it'll be a last minute at best battle log setup for the match. Sorry Judge.

I know of a couple of decent lmg/sniper points on the first round of Damavand defence...

About the only map I ever play either class!

Claymore and c4 traps work very well too.

Also happy to be transport heli pilot on attack - circling around dropping people off without the gay base jump. But would need some support against the little bird.

Right then, call for assistance...

Had to start a new server, as I couldn't use the ticket I'd bought last weekend to refresh the existing server. May help those who found our old server laggy.

However, have lost all info. I've updated the messages (added in judge as a contact for matches, and a little surprise for one of the regulars...), but don't have the banner we had, or the details of who was admin after paying in the last round of subs.

So, please add the new server (called PistonHeads reloaded) to your favourites. Only admin so far are judge, myself and ashcash. They were the only two I was sure of.

Please shout up asap if you were in on the last round of subs, or if you want VIP access instead. Can't remember who did the awesome banner, so shout up please!

Sorry it's a bit of a ball ache, but as said, may work out for the best overall...

Cheers,

Sam

A lot of fun. Superman in the air helped me when I took the heli up massively.

Not worrying about jets let me take out their heli a good few times.

Chunky, I spawned on you on that gantry just as you got mullered, with me soon after!

Stick just went dead in my hands... Controls were unresponsive...

In hindsight, I may have clicked L3 instead of just moving the stick.

Oops.

Managed it fine in the little bird a bit later though, when I was the only person in it. Was quite proud of the 'flare' I'd been practicing...

Is it sad that I find my stats quite interesting?
In general I need to aim for the head a bit more (bottom 10% for headshots) but my knifing is ok (top 16% as a kill%)

I have no PHer's tags though. The only person to take my tags more than once is Pexy, both in the same game. There was swearing, lots of swearing.
hehe

Think that's bad? I made an innocuous comment on here before going to play a game of metro conquest...

Pexy proceeded to lift my tags a stupid amount of times, often wading through half a dozen people on a suicide run just to claim them.

The git.

In.

Seeing as no one seems fussed about admin rights, I'm going to add quite a few of you as admin on the server.

Means there'll be cover to organise games like this one, and to assist control of cockends.

Can anyone remember who setup the PH banner on the old server?

No C4, or EOD bots (actually, pistols and EOD bots on a bigger map would be hilarious, and may get me the mtar), or other tomfoolery from yous two!

Fancy showing me the ropes on an end game map or two prior?
