CAG Warhawk Night [TBD]

Freaky's mic was giving me trouble all night, I was getting a constant garblegarblegarble - it went away when I muted him lol. But I turned the mute off a few times nd it was still there each time I checked.

But ya, hearing the gun turrent BAH BAH BAH BAH on the TV and then thru the mic 1 second later was great.

And that was me that asked HTF you had 20+ kills at the knife only fight at the end, I looked up and I had like 10 and you had well over 20, I guess I just suck hahah.

But I did love getting all those sniper kills in the last CTF, that was great :)
 
[quote name='Cthulhu8u']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.[/quote]
What I mostly heard, when I was on a team with someone whose mike was too sensitive, was *garblegarblegarblegarblegarble*.

What I did to set up my mic is go into a local game, turn the sensitivity down really low, then turn it up slowly while speaking and watching the icon in the upper left. I end up with 75%. Then I turned off open mic since if I left it on everyone's ears would be bleeding. Though I was constantly laughing during the four man knife fight.:lol:

[quote name='Cthulhu8u']How are you so fucking proficient is what I was REALLY trying to ask. Your swing timing puts me to shame...[/quote]
I know... and I don't know. Like I said, you people just kept running into my knife.:cool:

Yeah, freaky and metaly (I think) are a few more people that need to fiddle with their mic sensitivity.

Oh, I couldn't tell who was talking cause cthulhu's mic was always on.


Hmmm. Now that I've used tomorrows rotation today, I feel like I need to mix it up a bit. I like to keep the maps small since they seem to be the most fun, and then at the end were not stuck with six people in a map made for 12-20.
 
Whomever was sniper was pretty good. Keep hearing a zing and the little trail it left. Don't have time to see where its coming, by the time you do, its too late.
 
I apoligize for all the trouble my mic was causing you guys. I honestly didn't even notice it was THAT bad until just now. It could be because of my 7.1 Surround Sound system as to why my mic is supposedly making noise. I lowered the sensitivity all the way down to 25%, so I'm a bit surprised it was still making that noise. I dunno what to do about that, I'll tinker with it and see if I can fix it.

In the future, please let me know if it's still making that noise, and I'll try to fix it right then and there... Kinda hard to fix when you're in the middle of a deathmatch though, lol! ;)
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky']Oh, and as a request can we please have a knife fight for the next deathmatch? That last knife fight we had was hella fun! :D[/quote]
You playing tomorrow? I'll make the first DM tomorrow knife only.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']You playing tomorrow? I'll make the first DM tomorrow knife only.[/quote]
Awesome, now I'm definitely down for tomorrow

Whoops. I had it down around 30% which I thought would be enough, but I guess I'll test it again during tomorrow's game. I trust you guys won't tell me to keep tweaking it while you get in some easy kills. :)
 
I left after the 2nd server disconnect cause I thought everyone was done by that point XD. I'll play again tonight, just want to play me some knife-only deathmatches haha =P.
 
[quote name='metaly']
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.[/QUOTE]What happened with the recent firmware update is that it will say you are Type 2, regardless to almost anything. A few times, I thought I was NAT Type 2, but the PS3 local IP reset and still said NAT Type 2 (where the DMZ was not set). I had problems with a few games online because of that, so I had to fix that.

I'm wondering if one of the NAT 2's in your post are supposed to be a NAT 3? Anyway, it's nice to know that it wasn't my fault that the settings are screwed up, it's still frustrating/annoying that a firmware update "damaged" my functionality. I've tried opening every single port on my router for my PS3's IP address, tried enabling and disabling DMZ and I still only get NAT 3.

For the record I'm using a Linksys WCG200. The PS3 is hooked up through a wired connection (since the system and router are only about 7 feet apart). Worst case scenario if I just need to go ahead and buy a new router, I guess it wouldn't too bad since I did get it from my brother for free when he moved to a place where he wasn't allowed to have his own wireless network. Obviously I'd rather not though.

Who meeee? :lol: Its just that its a waste of my time going after Super King or Freaky becaue they would kill me way to fast. :bouncy:

And forget the knife only fight, we need a WRENCH only fight :hot:

Wrench only battles will only happen if eventually we can spawn with wrenches.
It would be either entirely one sided or three seconds of fun and mayhem for every one minute of getting everyone the wrench.
 
[quote name='aihuman']dam...did I miss it?[/quote]
No... I just shut it down now.


There REALLY needs to be a balance teams feature (I could have sworn there was). At the beginning of every game I had to make sure the teams were even (in terms of numbers, most of the CTF/Zones/TDM were fairly one sided, for some reason).

I think next time I host I'm going to do a normal rotation of 8 or so various game types, then have a couple of CQ FFA DMs at the end.

Anyone know who the guy with the H clan tag was?
 
I JUST saw the Dualshock 3 that I ordered on my bad when I was playing, so that why I left for those few minutes... This game just feels realistic with the controller vibrating. Esp. when in a Warhawk... I love my DS3. :D
 
What did you ask during that last match?

Sounded like "garble get that yet?"
Was it about the DS3?
Yeah, I got one and I like it... sort of. I'm just not used to it yet I guess.

Yeah, it's about the DS3. A lot of us CAGs posted about buying one soon, and I asked to see if anyone got theirs yet. ;)

I was still 'garbling'? :whistle2:o

After you came back, yes, sometimes.

Another thing I noticed is you and metaly seem to cut out a bit. Like the sensitivity is a little too low.

I could have sworn there was a "balance teams" checkbox in the server options, but I didn't see it yesterday when I was setting up. Was randomize teams on?

There was a little garbling, but it was way better than last time, when it was constantly on. It's too bad, though... having the yellow mic icon always over your plane made you pretty easy to keep track of during the dogfights. :twisted:

Yeah, I had randomize teams on. The only thing that was off was the "Allow crosstalk between teams" whatever that is called, I forget.

I did a little searching and it looks like they took out "balance teams" in the latest patch, and they turned off team switch on official servers.
 
Well, that's weird. I wonder what their reasoning is for taking out an option.

Did you come across any other less-publicized 1.3 changes in your search?

No wonder everyone tried to kill me... :bomb:

No, I just searched trying to find out if I was crazy and saw some people mention on the official playstation forums that team balance was taken out.

There are people complaining about joining an official server and being outnumbered 2:1 or worse. Until this is fixed I'm only playing DM games on the official servers.

[quote name='freakyzeeky']No wonder everyone tried to kill me... :bomb:[/quote]
Paranoid much?
 
[quote name='freakyzeeky']No wonder everyone tried to kill me... :bomb:[/quote]

Nope, just me. Or at least I was looking for you during the DM dogfight where you were way ahead, but SoCalDude kept distracting me. :D

Towards the end I was chasing you for a long time while you were invisible, and then when I finally lined up a shot, you dropped a mine right in my face. :bomb:
 
Wow, I think I managed to suicide in almost every match including dogfights, and once while I was carrying the flag. I guess that's the price I pay for playing with my finger on the trigger like that. I didn't feel quite so bad after seeing Dante had 60+ negative points in a single round, how did you manage that? #-o

I did have fun on those small CTF maps, though it was very one-sided a couple times. I got my first kill with the bio-field, woo-hoo! And I was sniped at close range for the first time. :bomb:

You were dominating in a lot of those matches! Or at least it seemed like it because you killed me a ton. I couldn't believe you were halfway to the flag on that one map, saw me trying to sneak by, then turned the jeep around and hunted me down.

You get a ton of negative points for teamkilling your flag carrier, so that's probably what happened to Dante. With all the grenades flying, I don't blame him.

It would be interesting for those small CTF maps if whoever captured a flag had to switch teams right away. :)

I think I heard you say 'damn' or something like that on the mic :lol:, but I didn't think it was you at the time. I know the mine killed someone, but I didn't see who it was... So now I know that it was you. ;)

[quote name='iggywiggum']I got my first kill with the bio-field... [/quote]

I was the victim of that bio-field...

I remember seeing someone teamkill about 4 or so people with binoculars. And during one match (the small map CTF in archipelago) someone teamkilled me, and I was the flag carrier. Maybe one of those was dante.
 
Finally got a copy of this from Gamefly yesterday. Let me know if you guys are up for a couple of games before the CAG night so I don't get my butt whooped. :)
 
[quote name='mguiddy']I remember seeing someone teamkill about 4 or so people with binoculars. [/quote]

LOL that was me, I had like 3 people lined up for the kill with the binoculars and was at the very last second they ALL left and in came 3 or 4 people on MY team and then BAM! One huge teamkill..... geesh.
 
I had some friends over (they're 360 people, but one has a PS3) and we played split-screen Warhawk online. They left wanting Warhawk bad, it was fun as hell. :D
 
Man I just can't seem to get a hang of this game. I really, really suck! The only thing I'm great at using is the tank of course. But flying, man it's hard.
 
What you do is just set up a Server and set the rank restriction to something close to where you are. You get better by playing more. Even flying. Try setting up or joining a Dogfight only server to get your wings.

Speaking of getting your wings, I learned something this weekend. Pro-flight? Definitely not for me. As soon as the game crashed, I turned it off.
 
Anyone notice the changes to the .50 caliber turrets? Supposedly they made them lock on to vehicles/turrets/soldiers and increased range/damage/clip size/rate of fire.

Also, woo hoo version 1.31 fixes the team switch on official servers and puts team balance back!

I just remembered something. During one of the games last weekend I was in a tank and I could have sworn I ran someone over, but they didn't die, they just blew me up with the wrench. Anyone else notice anything like that? Maybe there's a bug that prevents people from getting run over if they are damaging a vehicle, or maybe I was wrong and drove the wrong way or they ran over to the side...:whistle2:s:whistle2:k What I wouldn't do for a Halo 3 like playback feature.

Hooray, auto-balance!

I tried out the jeep guns a bit in the last game and definitely noticed a lock-in improvement, probably a slight damage boost, too. That is, I could actually see them doing damage. Up until now they were mostly decoration. Now if only the mounted could pivot more than like 30 degrees...

The tank thing sounds like a lag issue, although it seems stuff like that usually favors the host, so who knows. (That is, if you were hosting that particular game.)

Yeah, I was hosting the game... It was weird, I'm pretty sure I was stopped, trying to hit someone running around me, then I hear that wrench noise, so I started moving forward (I could have sworn the guy was in front of me), but he didn't splat... It's for times like those that I leave my mic closed...

Good to know, I've been on the wrong side of a few massacres lately. I thought "Oh well, at least next match will be different." Wrong. :bomb:

And is it just me, or did they take out the jeep horn?
 
[quote name='iggywiggum']And is it just me, or did they take out the jeep horn?[/quote]

Now that you mention it, I always use the horn when someone blocks my jeep with a warhawk, and I noticed it wasn't working this weekend. Why are they secretly taking out cool features??
