That's never happened to me, ever. Well actually, I've had douchebags in dropships mess with me like that, but only on unranked servers, never in the blue official servers.

What?
IIRC you get an error message when you attempt to drop a vehicle while airborne, so this shouldn't be possible unless something has changed.
Only problem I've had with water drops is when I get assploded over a body of water with the flag carrier; which I've actively taken steps to avoid doing these days.
TToB: They use momentum to propel you off the edge when they release. Or so I've heard, it hasn't happened to me.
We did have a couple griefers in that official server we were just in a number of games back. They got in warhawks and blocked the flag carrier's jeep and tried to knock him off the edge, Arkestra fell prey to that unfortunately. And we couldn't do much since friendly fire was off. :/
That's the most I've played in an official server in a long while, and while there were some good players in there at first, ABBO11, markjayw, and some other big clan guys, I've never heard so much bitching, trash talk, or seen people trying to dick over their team like that. I really think the official servers tend to get all the dickheads. So if you're tired of griefing, try some dedicated or player ranked servers, you'll get more variety of maps, game modes, and settings too.
Did have a few awesome moments, like when our flag carrier was on the way back for the last score with seconds to go, and I used my warhawk to push him faster across the last bridge and he scored with one second remaining.

The worst part is that I'm the one ending up feeling like a douche for getting stressed out and trying to sneak through on foot that first time. Meanwhile, these magical morons keep hurr-hurring and continue with their atrocious behavior.
Ah well...
EDIT: And that stalemate on Island Outpost was... interesting. :lol

Balancing is back, and team-switching is gone again (I think, I can't remember for sure). Good improvements all around, hopefully it doesn't get changed again.
And the BGE is amazing for capturing bases. That is all.
EDIT: "That is all" refers to the end of my post, as in "that is all I wanted to say." Please don't misinterpret my post as criticism against the BGE.

I don't know what the hell happened there. Our team was utterly dominating the battlefield, and I had made a few flag grab attempts and it was just a matter of time before someone got it out.
Then we just got pushed the hell back. I don't know if my team turned retarded or of the other team just got a sudden influx of good players from people leaving. Frankly, I'm grateful it was a tie. :X
I entered the game while it was already going, thats what happened
I captured a lot of bases and left some mines as presents that Sea_Manky was keen of receiving, hehe.
I made it to the flag 3 or 4 times, one of them with Arkestra and we actually managed to yank it out but eventually never left your base.
Nice game and like you said, incredibly a tie.

Have there been any clan games recently? i havent played in a while and might be interested if there are any coming up next weekend (busy this weekend)
damn, I wish this had saved films. I killed about 5-6 guys in the other teams base using 2 regenerators to keep me alive, returning the flag in the process for the winning cap.
and the "new" MK's have too much auto-aim now, I was shooting down Warhawks easily in the back of the 4x4. I hope they reduce it some in the next patch

I tried to play a few games before my friends came to pick me up and go out... it's hard to get back into it after playing COD4 for so long. I think I'll get back into Warhawk after I reach level 55 in COD4 (I'm at 32 right now).

Just wanted to clarify my previous post.
"That is all" was referring to my post, as in "that is all I wanted to say." Re-reading it, it seems like I was saying that capturing bases was all that the BGE is good for.
I don't want anyone to misinterpret my post.

I just bought the Warhawk soundtrack on iTunes, and man, it's impressive. If anyone has $10 lying around, you might wanna check it out.
?
Was this in response to someone? I don't quite understand what you're saying.

Sorry. Just saying Home launching with Warhawk now works.
You have pretty much every server option available in Home.
When you have chosen what you want you host a group.
People can then click on you and join your group.
You then launch into Warhawk and that server will show in yellow.

Jaeyden said:Home launched games = yellow servers. Won't be long before us Warhawk junkies riot because of all you Home beta launchers....mark my word Wollan.
No seriously..this wait for Home has gone on too long, I'm starting to get bitter.
Oh, I thought he meant the yellow dot servers.
Can the Home beta testers use the "sandbox tactical war-game" right now, or is that option not available yet?
EDIT: I didn't realize you played Warhawk, Wollan. Mind if I send you a buddy invite?
Any video of the glacier level yet?
well, what a coincidence

Good video. Damn, between this expansion, MGO beta, GT5P and then GTAIV there is too much good stuff this month.
another video, lots of APC
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32726.html
ending is chaos. I'm kind of worried though about switching between the BM maps with the APC and bubble shields and the regular maps without them, I'd rather a more consistent experience

Mmmm, I like the shots of the new map where its snowing. I'm a sucker for weather effects... nothing would be cooler than to be boosting around Archipelago in a tropical downpour, rain lapping against everything, wind moving the trees, bolts of lightning in the sky...
Yesterday the last game on MrPips! of Zones must have been my worst game ever...
It was also getting late so i just quit, enough was enough
I had one guy on my team with the mike always on with static. Is name was on the right corner all the time and it was just annoying.
The TDM and CTF games were fun, nice going Sea_Monkey, Arkestra and... er... who was it?

Wait a damn minute.
The APC ram doesn't do any damage?!
I'm calling bullshit.
Well, interest in spending for this expansion has waned.
I was kind of looking forward to carrying the flag carrier and ramming to death any idiot Warjocks that think it's advisable to crash their plane in the ground to stop me. >:|

Actually, Jobe's blog specifically said that the ram won't harm tanks, but it will take out jeeps. Warhawks, remains to be seen, but I'm guessing it'll fuck them up.
Went back to the blog and found the exact quote:
I'll bet warhawks fall into that "other vehicles" category. Because ramming through a warhawk is just the right thing to do.
Besides, don't forget that shield the APC drops, it kills warhawks on contact. So you get a bug zapper too! XD

I see. Well, the ram being able to destroy a tank would've been too powerful I guess. Imagine the carnage in Acropolis Assault's middle base...
Looks like it can't withstand that much damage though. As always, teamwork will be crucial. I wish they could've shown off the mobile spawn in action in the video...
Btw, anyone up for some !GAF a couple of hours from now?

Sure, I'll probably hop on later.
Considering that tanks are the only ground vehicle with a reasonable shot at killing an APC, allowing them to be destroyed by the ram would have been a bit much. Besides, a tank's a tank, it should stay in the heavyweight class.
Edit: Just noticed from watching the video again, when the APC drops the shield right next to the tank outside Archipelago's center base, there's a bunch of explosions from tank shots and grenades, and the shield goes down pretty quick. Looks like you'll be able to destroy the shield emitter, which I guess isn't a surprise. Wonder if it'll be tougher than a BFG?

Haha, I had some bad games last night, as well. There was a match were I died 5 times in a row, mostly from incredibly stupid suicides. Also, is there any way to mute individual people?
Ceb said:
If it's anything like Omega Dawn, I don't think you'll be able to have the APC on the smaller map layouts. I just watched the video of the APC on Archipelago, but I can't tell if the map layout is different from Island Battle. I see the yellow warning lines on the map, but I can't remember whether or not they are present in the normal map layout.
Well, with Archipelago, that big central section is as good as you're going to get for using the APC, regardless of how many of the other separate islands are active. Same with Destroyed Capitol. I'd imagine that Acropolis Assault is what you're looking at in the vid.
To mute people, just select their name in the scoring screen and press X, and you'll get the option to mute them. At the bottom of the scoring screen is a button legend which I didn't notice at first, which is why I wondered why they took out the mute/unmute all feature. :X
