So tonight the whole crew showed up for some tier3 action with the Derp clan!!!!! Of course they were all playing alt accounts.. LOL..

Very fun rounds of action though. Some great frags and lots of potential!! Much fun!

I shouldn't relive the "2" 10-0 Asskickings we received. But I will point out the above, and say Derp is known for shenanigans. No flame here though, we all did great!

Seeing has how I was on the opposite team..     I did receive this nice shut out award... 

[Gangland]

LOL!

I got used to lag by the very end and had some triple rails and funny air rox to nade on qaaqq, I have some demo but they may stay locked away in shame hehe. looking forward to playing w gang on the new comp, I think ur gonna stomp

as for some groups i'd like to play against for practice: oso, pi & tba  all good matches I think and friendly. I play on tba pql CA server a lot

[Gangland]

) tonights the night. I have to drive to penche Redondo Beach to pick it up, so prolly won't be back online till tomorrow.

Ive played a-lot with oso. Their all pretty good. I like Buhawi the best. Been playing with him for a long time, and he has lots of game. Havent played with Pi too much but have played with a few guys from tba.

I've played with a few oso guys before and more recently known a few Pi guys I've been playing casually with often. Haven't seen much of TBA, actually. I think a few matches with these guys could be pretty fun!

[rabbit]

I've played with oso..nice people and they have low tier to high tier.. I'm mainly concentrating on learning CA as I've basically played nothing but CTF.

Ya. I will have to tell you that was a real "Wake Up Call" for me. Being able to play with the same Skill Level, except for the T4 slummers, which did not bother me as its expected from some of the Players in QL. I have a serious learning curve to overcome. Playing only FFA since Q2, the Team play style is Greek to me. And FFA style does not work for me. I was a Provisional T3. I got thrown to T1 in only 4 games. Ill get it in my life time, and have fun doing iit.

Brother I hear ya, Ive been bouncing between tiers for a while now. Not really a bad thing unless your in it for the chicks. :OP

Best advice I can give you is to conserve your health/armor, while doing as much damage as possible. Since you can't pickup anything when your low (FFA), you start out stacked. That's why I play "Cat&Mouse". Just running up to someone and challenging them is asking to get deaded quickly or losing a majority of your stack right off the bat. Especially if they have 2-3 teammates hiding behind a wall/corner. (

As far as doing damage is concerned, you help your team more just moving around the map with your mates and taking as many open shots as possible as opposed to directly challenging someone. Of course if you run up with your team and find someone alone, rush him, but only if hes cornered. Chasing bait into a room full of green keels sucks.

In addition, it's crucial that the team sticks together! We got creamed cuz the team got separated a few too many times. Not anyones fault, it's just the game. I had a handfull of crappy spawns that put me in enemy territory, no way around that. Just need to pick a spot to meet up at and go from there.

And always use the right tool for the job. No need to spam rockets halfway across the map when you have an open rail. Use plasma, use sg, use nades, use everything you have to your advantage. 

We will practice alot!!

Damn,  I gotta get in on these practices (after my exams, for sure!)...

Agreed for the most part, but you can't underestimate the value of someone distracting half their team with distance rails/spam shots, while the rest of the team moves in on isolated members of the opponent.

Whoaaa! Bet that's going to keep you up as you get your programs together...

I need to really work on my railing..Pick em off from a distance..I notice T2 and low T3 use too many rockets,get too close and don't dodge the RJ.

The RJ in CA is different then CTF..In CTF you  get pushed and slow down and can feel it..but not in CA  so it's hard to know the damage you are taking until it's too late..

[lowlife]

 I have not seen one of those for a few Years.. It will definitely help you out though. You are going to be in for a big Surprise..

Logged in with the Alienware Area 51 tonight. It was epic. Execed my config and off to the races. My mouse is all messed up now because the windows mouse tracking is totally different from mac. Accel wasn't working so I had to bump my sense in game which made my accell way too high. Was all over the place but dropped alot of buckets! )

Lowlife was right, very surprised

Played some Duel with Deathstar today and got torn up proper! Was getting really fun then my cat ran out the door and wife freaked. /  Came back and played some clan with the guys from Bone$ later. Getting the word out!!
