CAG Warhawk Night [TBD]

So I just tweaked Warhawk's in-game mic sensitivity (I didn't even know there was a setting), which was at 100%, and even taking it down to 90% seemed to eliminate the constant transmitting. Setting it all the way down to 30% stopped it from picking up random game sound effects, too. It's really nice that you can adjust it during a match. I thought it might be controlled by the accessory settings which are all the way up in the XMB, but I guess that's just the mic volume. Also, you can tell if your mic is constantly on if the mic icon in the corner is always yellow. (Just figured that out, too. :oops:)

By the way, let me know if you want anything special in the map rotation tomorrow.
 
All right, a CAG Warhawk night AND the season 4 premier of Battlestar Galactica an hour before the action! I'll have to download the latest patch before 11pm and hopefully jump on!

EDIT: A smiley to show my total happiness :whee:
 
[quote name='fuss']But if you guys play late night look for me or Super King, I have joined a few of the differrent games he was in and its always fun to kill the king... untill he kills me that is. But I got him good a few times last night! My username is uder my avatar for those of you who do not have it yet.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, we've had some good times. There was one CTF match a week or two ago (Archipelago map) where you had the flag and I was driving, but a team mate in a warhawk was blocking our path and got us killed. Makes me wonder if he switched sides mid-game and was sabotaging us. Is it possible to do that?

Also new to 1.3: no more flag-dropping. There were a few times that got really annoying, glad to see it go.
 
That was me. I had just logged in and didn't notice it had put me to that team. I got a nasty amount of negative points for it. Really really bad of me.

And it turns out I can make this Friday. Yay, won't team kill.

What was that all about? I saw it mentioned in the update notes but I am oblivious. I take it it means intentional flag dropping, but how did they do that and what good was it?

No spoilerz!@$#@$@! :twoguns:Although at this point I'm sort of hoping they wake up and it turns out season 3 was all a dream.

If that is what I think it was..... I have seen people abusing that feature to get a crapload of points. What they would do - all in VERY small games, like 8 people - would all gather in a group and just toss the flag to each other. And they would just sit there and do it for the entire game. They would end up with a few thousand points per game. I got banned from a few servers for getting in a warhawk and blowing them all up :bouncy:. But you know those games in CTF that said something like "RANK UP FAST", that was normally what was going on.
 
Here it is, your official map rotation for tomorrow:

DM - Island Outpost: Main Base
ZNS - Destroyed Capital: Spire Shut-In
??? - Mystery!
DM - Badlands: Dogfight
ZNS* - Island Outpost: Island Battle
CTF* - Archipelago: Acropolis Assault
TDM - Island Outpost: Dogfight
DM - Badlands: Fortress
TDM - Eucadia: Northern Bridge (added)

The * matches in the second half are both 15 minutes since people mentioned wanting longer rounds. Everything else is 10. And who knows what craziness is going on in round 3?? Something I don't think we've done before, I hope.

Let me know if you're opposed to the TDM being a second dogfight. If more than a couple people object, I'll switch it to Northern Bridge.

Ah, good old stat padders. I never saw one of those RANK UP FAST servers, but that's pretty funny that they'd be so flagrant about it. Hopefully they're all banned now.

Well, you aren't much below me since I never play ranked games since my stats reset (well, there was a stat reset after the first patch due to online problems, but everything is fine now), so a lot of ranking up I did was lost (but oh well).

I remember all that crazy ranking up before the patch. I think I was a captain or major by the end of it, even though I only had about 150 points. I really need to play more ranked games so I can get that cool Chernovan helmet again. Only ~3000 points to go! :|
 
[quote name='Dante Devil']How late are you guys playing tonight? I've got to run out to do some errands. Maybe I can catch a game or two.[/QUOTE]We usually play for at least a half hour.

We usually end up playing for about an hour and a half or so. Sometimes longer if enough people stick around after the full rotation.
 
Game is on!

Server: CAG_Clan
Password: cag

I added TDM - Northern Bridge to the very end for the people who come later, plus I didn't like that Eucadia got neglected this week. :)
 
OK, I guess there's an issue with my connection tonight. I'm going to check it out and I'll post back if I put the server up again. Sorry about all the disconnects.
 
[quote name='robobagins']did it just go down again?[/quote]
No, just you.
;)
I guess I'll host, rotation will be different, of course. I pretty much did all small maps.
Same server name and password.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']No, just you.

That would be cool, thanks. Saves me from having to reset my router and all that. Again, sorry for the interruptions.
 
Hmm well I was having a ton of login and network issues (some of you may have noticed me signing in and out a lot before I finally made it in the game)

I'm also having issues with my NAT setting, the last 5 months my router settings kept me at NAT2 but now all of a sudden I'm NAT3. fuck. Stupid Linksys router. I guess I'm going to watch my DVRing Battlestar Galactica. I'll hopefully see some of you guys tomorrow at CoD night.
 
Well I've put up a server. I should be able to do 20 fine

I copied the rototaion from today, I think. each map should be 10 min

edit: server: cag pass: cag

edit: crap just looked up!

That's part of the problem,

Yeah, some Linksys routers have issues with the PS3 (mine does, since it disconnects me a lot).
 
Great games as always. It was even more fun with the open mic. Thanks again to DD for jumping as backup host. You saved Christmas Warhawk night!

Hm, I didn't check my network settings since the update, maybe that's a problem. Right before my server dropped the second time, I noticed one of those " has signed offline" messages you mentioned before, so I was like... oh, great.

I've noticed that too. They are a lot louder now.

And a few of you guys need to turn down the sensitivity of the mic. :shock: @ Cthulhu8u... I could hear knife sounds through your mic!
It's in the sound settings, but only if you're in a match... :roll: I didn't see it in the sound settings from the main menu.
 
Fun night. I haven't tried all the new things like the wrench, bio-mines, or open mike until tonight, and I like them all!

My favorite moment was 4-player knife only DM and asking mguiddy a stupid question, and getting... well, you figure it out :bomb:

Which question was that... how did I get so many kills or how do I keep killing you with the knife?;):lol:

Thanks for the head's up... I can't tell that for myself, obviously.

Uh, if you could hear that, could you also hear the constant blue streak coming from my mouth? I should probably wash my mouth out before every match.

How are you so fucking proficient is what I was REALLY trying to ask. Your swing timing puts me to shame...
