Same could be said about myself in our first game


Group O
tehsober vs. InertiaXR, game 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo1oAwVByOk

tehsober - 2 kills
InertiaXR - 1 kill


Do the last 5 seconds count? In that video it is my rocket killed while he kills Inertia's MG which is more of a turn 9 if-noone-makes-any-input thing. (the game technically ends and gave me a victory a second after my shotgunner kills his rocket)

Toma only counts games up to 40 seconds because thats the actual result. When the game goes to turn 8 the video shows what would have happened if there were an extra turn. Only count what happens until the end of turn 8 which is 40 seconds.

I have no desire to play this game, but I'm guessing that epic battles are rather fun to watch.

Are there any must-see videos floating around on Youtube?

[The_Player]

Do you remember who that was against, by any chance? I've run into a couple people that do this (group all their soldiers together in the same spot, move them all together, etc..)

Yeah, it was our third and last match with welford.

BTW, James-ape, are you gonna upload it to youtube or not?

 

[James-Ape]

Isn't it just 2 matches against each other during the group stage?

Yes, it is.

Picked this up today on the strength of the comments in this thread and on the back of edges review (my first purchase on Steam aswell!) Looking forward to getting involved in some online action but is the general consensus in here that I should go through atleast some of the single player first before diving into the Multiplayer?

Looking forward to giving it a go tonight though and if there are any beginner uk players about that fancy a game at some point i'd be interested in playing.

No, not at all. Go through the tutorial though. Most intricacies of the gameplay are much better learned online.

Not at all, jumping right into multiplayer is the way to go. It's where the game is at it's best.

Read the tips linked in the tourney post. The tutorial will explain almost everything but it leaves out a few vital pieces like ducking rockets to hit cover, placing orders on top of the wait time line, holding v to see a line of sight and some others. Most aren't essential (crouched rockets hitting cover definitely is) but they're all useful.

Good luck

I'm back, and friggles is down to pad your stats if you're game!

Currently responding to the first 4 games in progress...

 

[Morphis]

Mr_Appleby, I've issued a challenge to you for our second group match.

 

[Nishastra]

Finished my two matches against friggles.


Lost the first one. Killed 1, lost 3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zZbz-xalY0


Won the second one. Killed 4, lost 0.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr9nzHH42qE


First was the worst I've ever done. Everything I attempted to do went wrong. I'm happy about killing the shotgunner, though.

Second was the opposite. Everything I did worked perfectly

I felt pretty awesome about that first one, even if I got cocky with the shotgunner.

That second game though... man. I blame my rocket guy & his mystery shot.

Your mind games got to him.

 

[Toma]

Yeah I was about to announce that:

EVERYONE TELL ME WHO ISNT RESPONDING TO HIS MATCH FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS:

I'll write them a pm, and if they dont respond within another 2 days, the games are decided.

List of people pm'ed for MIA:

Finjitzu (1 day left to respond)
Anilusion (2 days left to respond)

Updated that list.

[cackhyena]

Can someone help me? I'm having trouble when starting up FS. It completely saturates my screen to the point of everything being so dark, I have to restart my computer. Is this a known problem? It's only with this game it seems.

 

[Toma]

Great, the spreadsheet gives me a server error. Hope the spreadsheet isnt dead now and will be back later.

 

[The_Player]

Hehe, just posted my own review to Frozen Synapse. Editor-in-chief said that it's great. So proud of myself!

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

This game sounds awesome. Is there a demo to check out?

 

[Toma]

This game sounds awesome. Is there a demo to check out?

Unfortunately not.. but if you like what you see and hear, you probably arent going to be disappointed.

But yeah, no demo is a bit stupid.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Guys, count me out of that tournament, I'll be drunk tomorrow, away the weekend afterwards and haven't even completed one real match yet. I don't think I'll be up for anything the next few days, and I don't want to stop the whole tournament

I'll practice until next time, though!

 

[fresquito]

Sorry for being late in my turns.

 

[Morphis]

Great, the spreadsheet gives me a server error. Hope the spreadsheet isnt dead now and will be back later.

Is it working again? I just checked and it loads fine for me.

 

[Atrophis]

Vcassano hasnt submitted a turn in over a week.

- Myke Greywolf vs. Friggles, match 1
-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FUcIrrpLTs
-- Friggles wins, with 4 kills and 2 losses.
-- Things got ugly for me when my #1 didn't perform his disengage order, and got shot. From then on, it was all downhill.

- Myke Greywolf vs. Friggles, match 2
-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3HrURDe5nE (sorry fot the chat box)
-- Draw (2 kills and 2 losses for each side)
-- Typical rocket fest ending, with no side managing to eliminate the other.

 

[Nishastra]

Typical rocket fest ending, with no side managing to eliminate the other.

Yeah, gotta be careful not to lose your non-rocket guys, since rocket guys eventually lose the ability to kill each other

That chat box and I sure had a shootout, and I can't believe you threaded the needle with that opening rocket. Nice shot.

Good games & thanks for the upload, I can't get the YouTube export to work online or offline :/

fresquito vs WHOaguitarninja: fresquito wins. 3 kills, 0 losses.

I uploaded the video, but it's not working, I don't know why. I hope WHOaguitarninja can upload it. BTW, thanks for the game, I'll challenge you again in no time.

You can add Corto from Group K to the MIA list although since neither him nor I can make it to the next round the match is not necessary.

My last match against Anilusion is also basically over but he hasn't played his turn yet, as soon as it's over I'll post the results for both our matches.

It looks like I've won my first match against Toma. There's a turn still lingering, but no matter what, he dies (a shot is right before his head).

Great game Toma.

Video won't work. I don't know what's happening with videos. I've uploaded a handfull of them, some work, some don't.

 

[mug]

Hey if anyone is planning to buy it I have someone offering $ for the 2nd copy.

 

[TheSeks]

:lol I love committing suicide with rockets after losing two people in the first turn because I can't get out of terrible spawns without machine guns having long line of sights or rockets hitting my spawn and taking my two machine gunners out.

So... amazing.

Spoiler

Why am I playing the multiplayer? I'm terrible at it!

 

[TheSeks]

What the fuck?

 

[Nishastra]

What the fuck?

Uhh... Hmm.

Looks like something went wrong with the video export

No, that's actually how the turn played out. :lol We're still in the middle of the game, but the preview has neither of us winning the round.

Ah, so then it's like what happened to my first game with n8BitMan, where the game is just screwed.

The game shows as complete in your match history, and does indeed end in round 2 if I load it.


Here's what it looks like for me:

friggles vs. cr_blah_blah, game 1 #132574

friggles (win)
3 kills | 1 loss

cr_blah_blah (loss)
1 kills | 3 losses

I got a lucky spawn: two of cr_blah_blah's dudes in my rocketeers sights. With his lone machine gunner vaporized in turn 1, the match was mine.

▼

friggles vs. cr_blah_blah, game 2 #127810

friggles (win)
4 kills | 0 losses

cr_blah_blah (loss)
0 kills | 4 losses

I got another ridiculously lucky spawn here: everyone into cover and the shotgunner behind a doorway. Don't know how cr_blah_blah could have successfully assaulted me. Good games dude, sorry I had the shine.

friggles vs. snoopeasystreet, game 1 #136002

snoopeasystreet (loss)

Interesting game, my machine gunner #1 really earned his paycheck. Dude was untouchable.

friggles vs. snoopeasystreet, game 2 #143858

friggles (win)
4 kills | 2 losses

snoopeasystreet (loss)
2 kills | 4 losses

Snoops nimble machine gunner foiled my opening. My initial plan ruined, I kept my gunners in cover and used the rocketeer to open new sight lines. Good games man.

Sorry for the lack of vids, YT export seems boned on my laptop.

 

[Soktos]

Not sure if n0b posted this or not:

Group C
Game 1: Soktos vs. n0b
n0b wins. Lost 2 men, 2 survives.
Soktos lost. Lost 3 men, 1 survives.

Was a hard fought battle, and lasts until turn 8.

At least I can say I am slowly getting the hang of the game. Still loving it!
