CAG Warhawk Night [TBD]

[quote name='mguiddy']Yeah... no one wants to be my friend. me == :evil:

But, is there an easy way to see how many PSN friends you have? Or do you have to actually count them manually.[/quote]
Yeah, you have to count them manually OR go to the Playstation website and view your friends list, it lists 10 per page so that'll make it easier.

Edit: Got beat in replying :lol:
 
[quote name='GodlyOne']Yeah, you have to count them manually OR go to the Playstation website and view your friends list, it lists 10 per page so that'll make it easier.[/QUOTE]I just beat you to it actually. :lol:

I just realized something. Although I may have removed a few hundred messages, I still have 1283 received messages on PSN.
 
Hey guys, just wanted to say good game. I do feel bad for Tk'ing a teammate (i accidentally ran over him when i was chasing a dude.)
Boy do I stink at flying!
 
When it comes to flying, I use Proflight. I got better at flying by practice and an evening on a Dogfight server where I got my ass handed to me for 30 minutes continuously. So fly, fly, FLY.
 
I just picked this up at Target today for $30 with the Bluetooth and its the non-gh version! I would like to get in a game with CAG sometime...add me anyone!

Only time you may have to add someone to your list is Saturday (since the host ranks the server and the only way to protect non-CAGs from joining is to make it for buddies only).
 
[quote name='The Mana Knight']A good way to check is:
http://www.us.playstation.com/MyAccount

You already linked your PSN account to your PlayStation.com profile. All you have to do is check your friends list link, log on, and from there you can find out. Each page has 10 buddies. Go to the last page and count how many friends you have, and from there, you'll know how many you have.[/quote]

Hey that's pretty cool, I didn't know about this feature on the web. That's cool about the feature that says when they were online last. too bad it doesn't do that on the XMB.
 
That is a cool indeed, Sinister. Hopefully it gets implemented during a SOFTWARE Update.
It would also be sweet if we can use that website to send / receive messages in our PS3 Friend list. Like the XBOXLive feature.
 
Strange. I tried to get into the CAG game and it keeps telling me that they're are no public slots open even though there are only 10/20 spots used up. I guess I'll just find another game to play tonight.

You had to be on DD83's friends list, it was a ranked server with all slots reserved for buddies of the host.
 
Then what's the point of having it listed in the OP if only some people can get in, especially when only half of the room is filled up? That doesn't seem like much of a CAG game night at that point to me.

Whats the point of reading the OP if you ar not going to fully read the OP?

Saturday
Host: DD83
Server: CAG_Clan
Pass: (Must be a friend of DD83, since server will be ranked)
Date: 9/20
Time: 10pm EST
Click to expand...

Most of the people who paly Warhawk night are regulars and know what to do. Whats the point of having a CAG night if only a few CAGers can get in because most of the spots are public and filled by non-CAGers?
 
I sent friend requests to some of the people (including you Frisky) that I recognized from last night in an attempt to prevent that. Also, that's been in the OP for two/three weeks now and I accept anyone that sends me a request.
I do the ranked game on Saturday because there are plenty that requested it.

Also... are there still people in the CAG2 clan? I noticed that one can do a ranked server that is clan restricted, and one can place the same clan name in both spots for intra-clan scrimmages.
Yeah, that would work better if everyone was under the same clan again.

I checked my weapon efficiency with the knife...:whistle2:#
It counts each swing that doesn't kill as a miss... it's like 0.2% or something crazy like that.:lol:
I gotta remember to not run behind someone swinging wildly.

If anyone has any requested layouts, let me know.

@metaly...
I promise to only do one Standoff next week...:cool::lol:

how about setting up that next Saturday - only CAG and CAG2 - that way we can get that trophy and then be done with it :)

I could do that early... But we couldn't do it all night, since it'd be 10+ vs like 2.

Hell, I could do that tomorrow.
 
Damn router issues made me leave the game early.
I'm really wondering if they'll ever fix this mic issue, I never remember to do the little trick so I end up without the ability to say or hear anything through my headset.

I glanced through the SOCOM thread and there doesn't seem to be mic issues with that game...
:whistle2:k
That's strange... no...
I know I'm going to be pissed if I buy the new mic and there's still mic issues.

I don't remember when the mic issues popped up, like 2 Warhawk updates ago?

Firmware 2.4/2.41
 
DD83, I R scared of you and that knife of yours... :lol:

Great games y'all! Sorry I had to go early, my cat ran outside the house and I had to go get it. Took me quite a while, but fortunately 'Baby' (my cat) is back inside, safe and sound. :D

By the OP, I meant the title of the thread. The last time I saw the OP, when I started joining the CAG nights a few weeks ago, the info for the two nights were exactly the same, besides the host, so excuse me for assuming that was the same every week. I must have missed the memo for the big change and will check the OP every day for the up-to-the-minute updates, so I'm sorry for causing you any trouble.

Because it's been completely open to anyone at CAG outside of his friends list the past few weeks I've shown up? This was the first time I recalled having any trouble with being able to get in on Saturdays and play, so I asked a simple question as to what was up with that since it was out of the norm from my past experiences. I'm sorry for being relatively new to CAG Warhawk Night and asking questions, I'll be sure to not do that in the future. Thanks for the help.

Okay. I must have missed it then, so I'll be sure to keep that in mind for the future. Thanks.

Actually, for the past two/three weeks it's been limited to PSN friends.
The first week I didn't have any public spots and it died pretty quickly. I think that was the first week the SOCOM beta was out.
The second I had around five public spots open, so if you played then on Saturday it's possible you got in that way.
The third I only had two public spots open.

Once we get everyone back on one clan it won't be an issue anymore (at least I don't think it will be) since I'll be able to limit it by clan.

Anyone that's in CAG2 want to try for the Rivalry trophy tomorrow?
Around anytime (well, after Noon that is) would be good for me... I think.
From what I understand, there's no need for the server to be ranked, so it could be any amount of players.
 
I'm down. Beats watching The Bengals again.

Give me the details and I'll be there. Anyone else is welcome to join.

(and if we're gonna be a trophy whorin', maybe we could shoot for lone wolf and cowboy? ;))

But, let me get this clear up front: my bluetooth is all wonky right now, so I won't be able to talk at all during the game. I'll leave it up to you to give the orders to follow, DD.

I'm sorry I slacked on the CAG/CAG2 thing. The school year has really changed my life right now, man. I have 8 folks in CAG2, and 6 invites out. Still waiting on a few people to accept those invites so we can toss around leadership for that particular trophy.
 
Damn dude the vibe of this thread went to shit the last few days. People arguing and complaining and crap.

How bout we have the clan match with the OD booster so some of us can get the Flying Fortress trophy?

Also, I usually try to make sure I make the text clear (previously I'd put in giant letters, in yellow text, whether boosters were required and other things), but I've been lazy. :whistle2:(

For Friday nights, I will NEVER restrict slots to buddies only. Anyone at CAG is welcome to join. :)
 
[quote name='The Mana Knight']I found a solution, using a USB headset. ;) Never an issue. :D
[/quote]
I've a better solution, Sony fixes it.
I shouldn't have to buy ANOTHER product to fix something Sony broke.

Okay, I guess 5pm Eastern then.
I'll probably bring it up a little early.
My mic screws up too, but we should be able to do it without mics.
I wasn't wanting to spend forever boosting trophies, but we can do some. I just want everyone to be on the same clan again.


  1. We'll do lonewolf first (once you see someone kill someone, don't kill anyone),
  2. then the server will go down and we'll do Cowboy (once you see someone kill someone, don't kill anyone),
  3. down again for World Victory (every one get on the same team and raise bases, I'll be on a team by myself since I already have it),
  4. down again for Rivalry (I'll do a 1 score limit FCTF and we'll do two rounds),
  5. then down again for Flying fortress (everyone get on the same team and get in the Dropship).

I think the best way to do lonewolf and cowboy is for someone to take charge and kill someone, and then no one else kill anyone once they see someone has been killed. :roll: I know, but there's no way my mic will last the entire time, plus I don't know who needs what.

Server name and password will be
DD83

Flying fortress can be done @ the same time as the TDM one. I just set up 5 minute rounds and did it that way. So 2 5min DM rounds, 2 TDM rounds etc. Replace 2 with # of people who need it, although they should do it with one other person only so we all don't have to sit around waiting.
 
[quote name='mguiddy']I've a better solution, Sony fixes it.
I shouldn't have to buy ANOTHER product to fix something Sony broke.[/QUOTE]I'll actually try to explain how it happens (from what I've heard a bit). When Sony is working on making a firmware upgrade, they are trying to do two things:
-Reduce the memory footprint which the OS uses
-Add some features

In order to make the in-game XMB work (one reason every column in the XMB loads up separately because PS3 doesn't have enough memory reserved in-game to load up the entire XMB, has to do it all separately), they had to get the memory footprint down significantly. One big fault with the PS3 early on was that the OS used a lot of memory and due to the PS3 only having 256MB of memory (with a portion of it reserved for the OS), it was a nightmare for developers and for Sony themselves (they really should have gone 512MB or 1GB from the get go of RAM). So anyway, a few things done to get the OS reduce normally cut out various code or try to compress the code in some areas more. That's usually how bluetooth gets messed up (also it's difficult with bluetooth because Sony themselves cannot easily test every headset available to make sure it works, since there are so many).

Will the bluetooth issue ever get fixed? Maybe, but I'm 60% leaning towards no. I remember when Firmware 1.6 came, which made certain Motorola headsets (which worked great, like the H350) no longer work and they still don't. That's mostly why a while ago, I decided to recommend USB headsets to people who ask about what headset to buy (they are only $10-$25 too, and they don't need to be charged). It sucks they are wired no doubt, but they cannot be messed up with firmware upgrades and the voice quality is great. That's kind of why I'm really debating whether I should get the headset with SOCOM, since I don't completely trust bluetooth (I have a feeling Sony will make sure that headset works because it's technically official, but no guarantee). It's not just firmware I'm recommending USB over bluetooth, even when my bluetooth headset was working great, sometimes it de-synched causing my controller to no longer work also (and I had to reset the PS3. That's a common problem).

Except, maybe someone needs lonewolf that doesn't have the boosters...

Now that I think about it, I should do the rivalry before the flying fortress for the same reason.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']How many "cag2" folks need to be logged on for a clan match to count?[/QUOTE]It doesn't really matter. I think 6 will work (on each time). DD83 and I can host up to 20-24.
 
5pm eastern is a bit early for me out here, so I will not be around for the game. I will be around later tonight if that counts for anything lol.

Thanks. I'm not concerned about parity/equality during a trophy whoring session - but since DD83 wanted to get "rivalry" out of the way, then I didn't want to fuck it up by not getting enough people on the CAG2 side.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']How many "cag2" folks need to be logged on for a clan match to count?[/quote]
It "should" work with one on each side... or even 10 on one side and one on the other.

[quote name='GodlyOne']The Rivalry trophy match won't require any boosters right?[/quote]
The only one that'll require boosters is flying fortress.

[quote name='refusedchaos']so how does this go down? never been to a CAG Warhawk night[/quote]
Well, today is only about boosting four trophies. See my post here.

[quote name='mykevermin']How many "cag2" folks need to be logged on for a clan match to count?[/quote]

From the settings page I just looked up techincally you only need 1, not that I know if that would give the trophy or not.

[quote name='GodlyOne']Hey myke, can you send a CAG2 invite my way.

Shouldn't need boosters.

EDIT: NM to all that. ^
 
:lol: Hopefully we'll all get that trophy without any troubles, unlike that damn World Victory trophy which I'll never get........:cry: :lol:

We could try for that one too...
I updated the post to reflect that.

I'm also going to set up my Eye, so maybe I'll be giving instructions after all.

World Victory is acquirable by yourself. Set up a server with minimum players =1
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']ok, im up for it then...just send me a invite when its time[/quote]
There's no need for an invite, just load up warhawk around 5pm eastern, find the server name, and join.
