What's with all the missile farms?

Post by Fusion pimp »

I come back for a week and start complaining...

What's with the missile farm levels and 15 second respawn? I take a brief 7 year hiatus and boaters take over the mines...

There's a crowd of players who enjoy just goofing around and missile-boating; the Abend / Subway servers are up for those folks during the earlier parts of the day.

Don't worry, though. The more competitive games with the better players are still around... just later into the evening/night. 8)

Oh pimp, my pimp...
If you play it, they will come.
There is often, if not always a CTF game in Varicose Veins. I can also tell you there are some means ass MD's in there.

Obviously I could have told you that tonight, but I figure a post may draw some more eyes and then some players.

I will also say (you may abuse me later) that although I am not a fan of Subway, I can have a little fun in there. I actually like Abend or Abend 2(I forget which). Yes it is a bit missle heavy, but it can be great fun. There is skill and tactics in that sort of level just like the more primary dependant dogfight levels.

Also remember that the other night (I think Saturday) we had a couple others come in throw some punches, including Sgt. Thorne, I believe it was like 12:30 or 1:30am his time. Yesterday Afternoon I had 4 or 5 players (never more than 4 at once) in Grendel's Fury Core server(nice to see).

I have also stumbled into a few great games over the last 7 or 8 weeks since I've been back. Do I want more, absolutely.

Dustbunny is practicing, Mayhem says he'll come when work allows. Rock says he'll be there soon.

\"More flys with sugar\" missle boaters may like more hectic fast paced, crazy, spray 'n pray games, but there are also crossover players. Being the pimp you are, court them as you courted me to be one of your ho's :)

Apparently "I try" means "I like to kick Sickone's ass all over a level" heheheh

We have been having some fun :)

This game is infamous for not letting newbies get any kills, so people play b0at levels so they can get kills.

I wonder if \"Tweety Bird\" is actually Tweety from back in the day.

If it is still the same one, she's absolutely awesome now.

Or, at least, IMHO.

Been a few weeks since I've done this actually. Guess I got tied up with some stuff...
