I'd take a clan invite if you need a builder that doesn't care to stray too far from base. Psn name is DevonTD

but then the back is upside down.
also you may get confuse which side is which and you'll end up having the case itself upside down.
I just added them and had the invite reciprocated. Where can I find info on the Giant Bomb game tonight?
It'll be on giantbomb.com/live, or on the home page. Basically, if you're playing the game they'll invite you to a party. At least, that's how TNT works usually. I'd play. But, you know, it isn't out here until tomorrow :/
7 PM EST?
Hopefully it'll make up for the poor Quick Look for Starhawk. They didn't enter any 32 player matches to really show off what the game can deliver. In fact, at one point Jeff was playing on a map 1v1 against someone. A whole empty map and him against...one guy.
Umm, I think so? Usually there's a countdown on the home page, but it should be in around an hour.
Take out a loan. A $65 loan.

Just helped my team win zones in the final minute. Epic as fuck. Center zone on Dust was a back and for battle and was their's at the moment. Driving over to that base in a tank, I notice we have the exact same score. Exact. I get there, and blow up some dudes, park on the zone capture area (now that I figured it out) and JUST get killed as it changes to our zone. So now I'm frantically mashing X to spawn at center before they change it over and JUST do right as they changed it back. I get out, and drama knife 2 people within seconds, get killed myself, gameover. EPIC. No game will compete with this for a long time.

There's a glowing circle next the zone rig. You stand in there. It's not like warhawk where you stand anywhere which is where the confusion stems from.
Yeah there is a GAF clan.

Save me a spot Square, I have a feeling alot of the other Warhawk vets and I will be around in another month once word gets out.
Just played in the Giant Bomb room with some fellow Gaffers for about an hour. Tonight was my first big night of competitive multiplayer and I've got to say it was a blast- but man do you need people communicating.
We had one massive dogfight that was pretty crazy and mayhem filled, but the zones and team deathmatch games were really solid. I actually liked having a moderately-filled 10 on 10 TDM game because it gave the map some breathing room.

Nice playing with some GAF members. Communication is really need it seems but still fun. Though some modes are better then others. I would have thought Zones would have been fun but the wrong map makes that a pain to play. The one map that is all cliffs that is (looks like the asteroid from Armageddon) dark is horrible in general I think. One side gets a cliff that overlooks the entire other side of the map. Unless you have good pilots they can sit up there and stop the other side from advancing all together. Making one base area impossible to build as well since they can hit it from up there and the top of the bridge with ease.

Thinking about grabbing this game because I loved the last Warhawk. How is the community with mics in this game? Lots of people using mics?
I remember the first one was pretty chatty at launch, lots of good communication on teams.
I've only played a handful of random games, but honestly, it's refreshing to see all the people chatting. usually over 50% of the team I'm on will have mics and are actively talking.
I think over half my team had mics, and everyone was playing in a teamwork-oriented way. Nobody was building duplicate structures, two and three guys would drive off in a razorback (jeep) at once, etc.

yeah i fired it up for the first time late last night and figured i'd have a few rounds of the single player to refresh myself on the controls and changes since last time i played the beta. Ended up having so much fun I never got round to trying anything online.
Will put my hand up for the Gaf Clan also, psn is spazmat. from the sound of it i'll need to dig out my headset from wherever it's disappeared to.

Finished my first dogfight, wow, shit is intense!
Remember guys, send me a PSN message, Jrod87, stating that you want into the clan so I can send out invites. Be sure to include your GAF name in the body of the message so I can keep lurkers away.

Same here! It was awesome and scary at the same time. I was able to get in on the last TNT game with you guys. Score limit was so low.

Just realized how great the soundtrack is too. Very impressed with the game so far. I usually get bored of MP quicker than most but like with Warhawk I can see myself putting a lot of time into this.

Sent a request via psn. Hope to play with yall soon.
Haha I booted up my ps3 just to do that. I was on my way to bed until I saw the bolded.
Glad we can reclaim structures built by other people. Several times tonight I've found myself having to take down certain things in order to rebuild in different parts of a base depending on the situation. Building structures and just going isn't going to be a good idea. Also somewhat annoying to see beam turrets bunched together. Things really need to be spread out or a well placed bomb or shelling could take out the bases entire defense.

Co-op is frustratingly difficult. Is it only balanced for more than 2 players or do me and my friend just suck really bad?
Once the Hawks show up it's over. There's at least 20 of the damn things and they only focus down the Rig unless you're in a Hawk yourself, in which case you've got over a dozen of the damn things constantly throwing missiles at you.

Good tip regarding the beam turrets. I need to make notes before playing this game again.
The problem is, getting the rest of the squad to follow suit. If I stay back to correct their tactical mistakes I'm guaranteed to be playing defensively the entire game.
I haven't found it impossible yet. My friend and I did a two-player co-op session on Wednesday and managed to beat two of the cooperative missions with just us, and last night we did a bunch of four player rooms. It takes a lot of strategy and a little luck, though.
