well holy shit..just had the craziest ending ever. CTF, Archiplago, big game, 24-32..don't remember exactly, anyway!
i go up to their flag from the underground ladder, take the flag jump back down there, take a jeep...flipped it over on the jump down to the next level :[ . so I jump out and take another jeep that just happens to be there :] at this point their whole team is chasing me on foot and warhawks. there just happens to be a vehicle health thing right in front of me so I survive..at the same time this is happening the other team takes our flag and jumps in a jeep too. so im at full speed in the middle area where there are 2 slopes and the node. i hit the upwards slope, i fly OVER a fucking teamate tank and smash right into the jeep with our flag. the tank shoots as we collide and it's a big ass explosion, everyone dies.
we had the middle spawn so spawned there, picked up our flag and had back to the base in another jeep. my team returns hour flag and right as im about to walk into the base and cap this guy on a warhawk fly's to our base and chucks a grenade and it gete me :[ he takes our flag and starts to run. i spawn at the base, pick up their flag, outpistol the guy with our flag sit there the whole 20 sec by myself, return it, and win.
*whew*

Believe me... this is nothing compared to the amount of freezing we had during beta :/
Beta was like... every 5 minute :/

This is true, but it's pretty inexcusable when it's the final release.shagg_187 said:

I found that out in a weird way.
There was a guy with our flag on our bridge and so I was taking him out with rockets from a distance. One guy came swooping down on a WH and so I thought it was his teammate picking up the flag, so I shoot. I still see movement and I shoot again, all the while approaching the flag. I found out it was a team-mate.
So he gets pissed off and starts shooting at me. So I strafe to avoid the shots but don't shoot back because i'm more interested in returning our flag. But then I'm getting hammered so I run away. He stops shooting so I come back, and then he kills me.So I respawn right near that bridge, and see him standing on his WH right by the flag to return it. So I thought I'd be an asshole and get into the WH, fly straight up and then have him fall to his death. I get in, and realize he's in with me. So then I flew to a remote part of the map hovering above the water and stayed there with him in the WH with me, prepared to stay there until the round ended.
But we were found within 30 seconds and shot down. So if I wasn't being an asshole, I would never have found out about this feature!The Take Out Bandit said:
I think it's a whole lot better than not being able to get into any server for a good 20-30 minutes.

Yeah.. I had stopped playing the beta after it crashed on me 5 times too many. The Halo 3 beta maybe crashed on me once throughout its whole run.

Kind of annoying that these stats aren't being recorded
That was a good game we had just played. You kicked ass.

Haha, same with me.KTallguy said:
Is there a good site with all the info like how to use binoculars correctly and just tips/tricks to do? Tried to google but none of them were as detailed as I would like. Just got it yesterday, played around (after signing in and out of PSN to actually get it working, but no stats updating) and flew around and got pwnd (even moreso on foot).

Those were good games on GAF east server last night. Not sure which Gaffers were on my team during that nutty zones match (I think I saw Sea Mankey and somebody else), but damn that was awesome. Click had the medium Island Outpost map set up for 32 players so those two bridges became these ridiculous choke points where everybody was trying to hold and cross at the same time. Tanks and jeeps going head to head, Warhawks doing strafing and bombing runs, TOWs falling out of the sky. It was crazy. We eventually had every zone in the park, it was nothing but Eucadian blue. Kinda felt bad for the other team afterawhile, hehe.

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I'm having a tough go with this as far as controls. Ground, jeep and hover controls like a fps, ie, right stick to control the camera. Aerial flight has its own method. I'm so conditioned to using the right stick to control a camera in games but I can't seem to find anything like that in the controller options
Agent Icebeezy said:
On pro-mode it's better, and for some reason (I think) it disables the right-stick look in vehicles. Possibly.
But yeah, the aerial flight controls just seem off to me, I can't get into them and I've been playing for a week now. Having said that, when you see the likes of Click flying through mountain gaps and stuff you realise you just need practice...

Yeah, I was in that game, and when it started, I was the one saying, "Oh, this is going to be tough." 32 people on that map? I was expecting that each team would get a bridge and we'd be at a bloody stalemate until time ran out. First thing I did was jump in a warhawk and boost dive to take the south bridge. When I had it about halfway through level 2, I noticed that none of the red guys had even headed towards the north bridge, and once I had the south bridge at 3, I rushed north. By then they had a couple guys there, but they didn't grow it much, and from there our entire team stormed the north bridge and managed to take and hold it for almost the entire game. I respawned on that bridge I don't now how many times, longest extended firefight I've been in yet. And we won on points, not by running out the timer. Awesome game.

As a big fan of flight games, the pro controls threw me a bit at first too. The left stick has pitch and banked turn, and the right stick has pitch even harder and roll. So you can do the pitch and roll thing, then get used to using the right stick as a way to pitch harder for tight turns. Now it's easy for me, I just fly the Warhawk like a plane, and when I want to pitch around hard, push up or down on the right stick.
I haven't really been seeking out the GAF servers yet. Are they still being password protected? If so, can someone pm me the password for GAFe server? Thanks.
Ran into theBishop in a Zone game on the Eucadia map last night. Took one look at the slightly smaller map configuration and realized the central bridge was the choke point so I hopped in a jeep, honked the horn at theBishop and we took off. Somehow, we made it there first - one of these days people will learn priorities. Luckily theBishop also had some mines with him so took the zone there and held it the rest of the game, cutting off any major growth for the other team.

Yeah I headed north with a tank after I saw the south bridge was capped in full. They must've been late deciding which bridge to go for or something. I ended up with the best tank run I've had yet though. Red was trying to race across the bridge and I racked up something like 13 straight kills. It was like Duck Hunt but with jeeps.

Last couple ones have been ranked I think so no p/w. I honestly wouldn't mind no rank though, there were some pretty annoying brats on the GAF server last night. :lol Thankfully they left after a few games.
