finally our own thread... so apart from that final what's the schedule for today? I really like these 4 vs 4 FF on and no RL games...
 
Nice to see the Euro clan finally getting its own thread, much easier to follow their exploits :D

Would like to join if any spaces ever came up..

Raist, sent you a PM regarding my GAF handle..

and it is even in the OP of the Official Clan Thread =P

Dirtyshubb and stimpledorf, I'll drop you an invite tonight if no other officer has done it.

Gibb, thanks, it's fixed.

Lince: dunno mate, I checked the tourney list this morning before going to work, but a shitload of tourneys had only 1 clan registered so far, so I'll check this evening. In the meantime, I think you can check it too, even if you can't sign up to any tourney.
 
I thought i would ask for some tips, so far i have been doing pretty good coming in the top 3 majority of times but i have been only using the standard soldier and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what route i should go in regards to trying other classes.

At the moment im a lieutenant (IIRC) so i have only just unlocked a couple of the other classes (medic and engenire i think).

Just thought i would get some tips before i start playing as part of a GAF clan to prevent showing myself up :D

Sound Raist, thank you, I won't be about tonight due to it being St Paddy's day here in Ireland but will be back in full force tomorrow evening!

Definitely start unlocking the other class badges so you can mix and match later in the game..

Personally and I'm definitely no expert, I went and played medic for a long time since I enjoy playing support classes and also you can pick up additional points without having to necessarily always kill the enemy!

I think you can't really tell before you've tried them all, and played a couple of matches with each of them.

I really, really suck with the sab and scout for instance, while some folks are insanely good at playing those classes. I usually play medic unless there's an urgent need for tactician or engineer. First because he spawns with the M82 which I like a lot, and also because I enjoy helping people. It can be a very frustrating class to play tho.

Do you lose anything by going from standard to medic lets say (like abilities or weapons), that was 1 reason why i hadnt changed over earlier since i wasnt sure.

The medic gets the same rifle (really like this gun :D ) as the standard soldier doesnt it IIRC?

If you're talking about the M82 (the standard ISA rifle you're starting with in SP), yes he does. He's only starting with this gun or the standard HGH rifle, and a pistol (or revolver if you unlocked it). He doesn't start with as many weapons as the rifleman tho.

Thats fair enough, i just didint want to start playing as a medic and than realise i was missing something i was used to using :D

Some of the fun for me in Killzone is using all the different classes for the different scenarios, no doubt you'll find some new ones you will soon love :D

I'll try send you one when I go back to my PS3 shortly. I think we are full at the moment so you might have to wait until we prune the players that don't play out, which hopefully TTP will be doing soon.

Well my first attempt at a competitive match with Rick808 and JardeL was a bit of a disaster... I haven't got everything unlocked yet, so stuck with what I'm used to (ie medic/medic).

I didn't have access to this forum while playing, so didn't know whether to join the game, or wait for someone more skilled to take the places - but as no one did I figured joining the game shouldn't make things worse (except maybe bodycount but I tried not to die as much as usual :lol )

We needed all the players we could get with matches clashing so we were glad to have you on board.

Yeah we got dominated a bit though didn't help we were outnumbered and they were just shotgun whoring for the entire game.

Nothing more fun than facing a team of 4 engineers in Corinth crossing. Tested and approved.

Man, I wanna play and I'm stuck at work until 8pm at least :(

There's an invite that has been sent but pending for the last couple of days. I'd say cancel it (you can as an officer) and if the person in question eventually shows up, we could always send a new invite after the purge.

I think the first players we should drop are the ones who have a very low rank (not on the leaderboards, I mean, sergeant lieutenant etc). Game has been released for 3 weeks now, so if they're still stuck with low rank it means that they don't play a lot (and I've not seen a couple of them often, if not at all)


Lince: connect to the servers, then go to clan > tournaments
It will display the tournaments we've signed up to (sorted by starting time) and then the list of the available tourneys. Just ignore the first, like, 10 pages which display "Not subscribed" as they are ongoing tourneys we can't join anymore... which is silly IMO, we should at least be able to filter these ones out. Then you'll have tournaments marked as "open for subscription" or something like that. Most of the time you have to check them one by one because the tournament title isn't always really informative (and sometimes it's wrong...).
This, is assuming that you have access to the list without being an officer. As I never cared to check before being promoted, I actually don't know. I think you should be an officer as well anyway :D

ok Raist thanks for the info, gonna check that and let you know if I find something interesting. I guess 8 vs 8 and 4 vs 4 games with friendly fire on and no rocket launchers are our priority right guys... RIGHT???

I am low ranked because I jumped in a couple of weeks late. I do plan to make more time for the game as work permits.
 
Thanks for the add, im not that high ranked cause i only started the online about 5 days ago but i do plan to play it a lot :D

We wont kick out the newly added members who are ranked low - just the people who have had the game for weeks and are clearly not playing, so don't worry about that.

Anything from 3v3 to 8v8 I would say, if anyone wants to specifically play in a 2v2 or 1v1 just post here with the details of the tournament and one of the officers should be ble to subscribe to it for you. Raist and I played in a 2v2 tournament last night but we're too embarrassed to say how it went :lol

I, as well as I'm sure, a lot of other GAFe members, don't give a flying fuck about KD ratio. Especially in this game when it basically means that you're not playing as part of a team if you have an extremely high KD ratio.
That said, we're still here to kick asses and take names :D

Just got back from work and I'm exhausted. Dunno if I'm going to play tonight, let alone going through the awful tourney list. I'll see in a couple of minutes if beer heals me :p

4v4
Radec Academy
8:15 (cutting it close but the final is at 10, meaning we can make the other match tonight)

Some stupid rules with no Saboteur and no Engineer but I can live with that. Also no Rocket/grenade launcher so no rocket spam

I think the game modes were Body Count, Assassination and Search/Retrieve.

If I get one other person to say yes, I'll sign us up.

I've signed us up for it as myself and Raist are game, Lince and TTP perhaps?

Why do I have the feeling we are better than how we actually perform?

Anyway, blame me on their two radio deliveries. I always forget to NOT get killed in the central building when I'm holding the propaganda speaker. :/

God damnit, why is it that we can never catch a break? In every single one of the matches that have been so close, literally 1 death close, we lose every freaking time :(.
