CAG Warhawk Night [TBD]

lol you know I played like crap tonight, there was something wrong with the game, cause on one of the CTF games. I had the red flag, and was trying to score but I couldn't. It was like one of those dreams where I'm trying to pee but I can't, and I wake up to find that I need to go to the bathroom immediately.

Overall though I played like crap tonight. I'm going to try and make it tomorrow. I have to work oncall this weekend, so I'm going to try and be home at least 3-4pm for some matches.
 
Yeah good games. A for effort.

And I love the way it randomized all the people I played with, except lonwang. I was always on the opposite team as he.

May the force be with us tomorrow. :pray:

[quote name='josh_animebum']Fun night again as usual. Good luck tomorrow everyone.

And StrandedBrit, I'm just notiving your avatar, but are you a fellow IU alum?[/quote]

Sadly not. I'm good friends with an IU alum, and she got me into Hoosiers basketball. Ever since I've been a rabid IU Hoops fan. Sorry Mana. :D


EDIT: Mana! Bombsquad says he can make it today. I think he should be part of the original 12.
 
[quote name='aihuman']I posted my info for the Pacific Time Zone Cag for WarHawk,not sure if it was a clan thing.[/QUOTE]I'll get you in the right clan asap.

And StrandedBrit, I'm just notiving your avatar, but are you a fellow IU alum?[/QUOTE]Yeah I know you're just a fan (I heard about your co-worker before). Although for me, I'm a big fan of their rivalry Purdue (since that's where I go to college at). There's no denying I use to be an IU fan as a kid, but switched as I got older and committed to Purdue.

I'm going to make the list soon.

Here's infro from GAF:
Yeah, I'm gonna follow Chryz's lead and name it !gafvscag.

It will be a Player Clan server to begin with. In case of any recurring network errors, I will put up a Dedicated Clan server, but the name will remain the same.

I'll put it up around 10-15 minutes before the scheduled meetup time, so be there in time.
Click to expand...
The reason for the "!" is for it will sort near the top.

Okay, the original 12 will be (You are more than wlecom to show up early and I definitely recommend it):
Amicus
Bombsquad07
Buddah8640
Cthulhu8u
GodlyOne
KnightsDwn (can play until 4:45pm. Need update from you whether you will play)
LethalGod
Lonwang
StrandedBrit
Thelonicon
Thomaticus
x3x1x

Reserve List (Try jumping in anywhere from 5 minutes after the match starts until or something, just in case there are people above who do not show up. You all are not on reserve because of skill really, it mostly has to do with how many times and how long some showed up to previous Warhawk nights, so we are more familiar with them)
aihuman
Draccius
ManaKnight
primetime171

3PM EST sharp.

Those who are not getting the chance this time, do not worry because there will be more matches in the future. Probably, CAG will be the home team the next time. If you are NOT on either list, DO NOT show up (because someone has to notify me or something they plan to show up) at 3PM EST or earlier. However, anyone not listed and is apart of the CAG clan is more than welcome to check the game later (to see if there's a slot open)
 
I was pretty disappointed to have missed practice yesterday but I'm ready for the match later today, great use of a hung over Saturday, haha.
 
Right now, I definitely see 9 people showing up (since I heard from them recently). 3 I'm a little iffy about right now. I definitely feel two will definitely come in as reserve at worst case, but I still hope we get 12.

I hope it's better than the last one I had. All it could decode was the message "Drink Your Ovaltine".


GodlyOne, a good hangover remedy is Gatorade. But if you prefer playing hungover, might as well well finish the journey and get drunk again. At least it'll be quicker to do second time around!
 
[quote name='primetime']Oh wow, I just noticed this is at 2 central, not 3. Do you want the reserves to show up closer to 5 mins late or 10?[/QUOTE]10 min should be okay (or just a little over 5).
 
Right now I see 8 playing with Mana, aihuman, and I online but not in the game. It's just about 3:03. I'll join in a couple mins I suppose.
 
There has to be some open slots, since I see 6 open slots in the game (doesn't say if that is GAF or CAG open slots). I will jump in a little later if the slots don't fill.

KnightsDwn doesn't appear to be showing up, so go ahead and jump in primetime. Waiting for Thomaticus to show up also. 9 are currently in the game.

Gotcha
 
We need two more people to jump in. I might be one of them. Aihuman, Draccius, Thomaticus, etc., go right away and get in (I'll jump in myself if I need to).

Okay, I'm going to jump in anyway.
 
I did end up finding the server, but it said the slots were full for CAG, which is a good thing. :)

I'll recheck every now and then.
 
I thought we did awesome, didn't lose a match... oh snap, were we the red team? NM

I think we need a less serious opponent. Time to hit up some nursing homes to find our level. Good fun anyway
 
Well, I'm glad we finally got some real competition for once. I wish a few certain people would have been there (who are pretty good also), but oh well. Anyway, thank you for showing up everyone and glad we got 12 together.

As for the future, I wanted to discuss it.

First off, on practicing:
-We need to turn team kills on, because we made WAY too many of them.
-We need to learn how to set up mines better and other things in the way of the other team so we can get their flag and go quickly.
-We need to get better at using the jet fighters to hit everyone on the ground.
-We need to learn to blow up enemy vehicles before they get on.
-Oh course, we could use better teamwork.
-We need to work on the Destroyed Capital and whatever that other course is (that has various islands).
-Travelling in packs to capture/steal/kill, which kinda stems from communication (thanks x3x1x)

Don't worry, just mentioning things we need to work on. If there is anymore, please mention it.

Secondly, I will seriously looking into playing other clans, to give us more practice (small or big), which are forums I post at:
-PSU (the PS3 forums) come to mind
-PSX Extreme (although small, just gotta see if they can do it)
-Official PlayStation Forum (they gotta have some)
-I may see if Game Trailers has a clan.

Any forums you know of that have clans, let me know and we'll look into have a game with them.

I know that GameSpot's PS3 forums have a clan, though I don't know if their clan are still active. RoyTheViking is the leader of the clan, and that so happens to be his PSN ID as well.
 
Yea, there's definately things we could work on if we're serious about playing other clans. I think usually it's more of a casual atmosphere when the CAGs get together.

To add to Mana's List:
- Travelling in packs to capture/steal/kill, which kinda stems from communication
 
[quote name='amicus']do people even play warhawk frequently?

everyone i know is always playing cod4. including me.[/QUOTE]We play 1-2 times a week. I do not have CoD4 yet (but will get it).
 
Also, on Zones, they pretty much assigned their players a base and that one player was in charge of keeping that base. Numerous times on the zones maps I broke away to try and 'steal' a base deeper in their territory only to find every base had a guy waiting for me (or however strolled by).

Plus was I the only one with lag? This one time I hit this guy 2 times with a grenade and then he started shotting and I died. Not that it would've changed the outcome any though.
 
I was lagging a bit too since I've had connection issues as of late (in my apartment). That's one reason I put myself on reserve, since I was hoping someone else would take my spot.
 
Good games guys, I think we did decent for a casual clan going against a pretty damn serious clan. Even though we got handled every game we started to play better as the games went on.

As for getting better, we just need to practice more, weather its with our clan or by ourselves.

And another point you should add Mana is learn how to fight in numbers. I know one of the main reasons I got dominated was that I was usually fighting off multiple emenies in the air, and ground. And when they came to capture a flag, they had a couple of guys in warhawks and a few in jeeps. Its alot easier to attack when you have someone thats watching you back.

Agreed. They always had parties of 3-4 attacking, which meant 1 or even 2 guys would pose them little hassle.
 
Part of the blame could be put on me, because I am more of a recreational gamer (not really serious most of the time), and I am the clan leader. Although I may act serious at times (or try to energize you all), I'm still mostly playing for fun.

If you want someone more serious running the clan, I would step down.
 
Well I had some fun anyway. Looks like Resistance is more of my game though. I bet we could take 'em at Resistance, or at least make it more competitive.
 
couldn't get off from work in time. I knew they were going to have a stategy. Hopefully, we can set up another match.

next time we play them, we'll be ready. and hopefully I won't have to work on call during the damn weekend!
 
During the 2nd match I could barely play anymore cause of my damn hangover, the second I jumped into a warhark I got so nauseous and my head was killing me, haha. Whether or not I could competently play didn't matter since they murdered us for each and every one of those rounds. I gotta give props to their teamwork. Haha, they'd always have like 2 warhawks at our spawn base wiping everyone out. Good job though guys, I think with more practice the CAG clan could be lethal competition to other clans.
 
You guys were excellent sports for keeping up the fight. It was pretty unfortunate that all four of our WarHawk specialists showed up. They kinda run the show and there is really not much you can do about it. Check out their stats and you know what I'm talking about. A few mixed matches would have been nice.

Props to The Mana Knight, you did an awesome job organizing your team.

Hope to see you all again, you know where to find us in case you guys want a rematch :)

[quote name='StrandedBrit']Plus was I the only one with lag? This one time I hit this guy 2 times with a grenade and then he started shotting and I died. Not that it would've changed the outcome any though.[/quote] The server location was Sweden, but IMHO it was pretty smooth for a global game.

[quote name='primetime']Well I had some fun anyway. Looks like Resistance is more of my game though. I bet we could take 'em at Resistance, or at least make it more competitive.[/quote] There are only like 2-3 people who actually play R:FoM AND Warhawk at GAF. The Resistance clan is a bunch of other people, but also very dedicated.

[quote name='Thomas96']couldn't get off from work in time. I knew they were going to have a stategy. Hopefully, we can set up another match.[/quote] It's kinda scary, but we don't really have a strategy. Experience of what works, yeah ... else it's pretty much having a keen eye on the big map (select button), communicate, equip and act.

The official servers (the ones with vari in the name) got pretty much the rotation of Zones/CTF/TDM. They are good places to learn (while ranking up). Just my two cents ;)

I figured those who played Resistance was mostly different (same way here, although it's becoming more and more of the same people owning both games). Our clan is kind of a mess right now, so I doubt we could touch GAF. But for the 2nd Resistance, I'll probably lead the clan and prepare it for matches against GAF. I remember hearing the GAF Resistance clan was maxed out at 200 (a friend of mine wanted to play in it too).

Well, I figured you all practiced a lot. We may have played a lot, but there are a lot of things we never worked on or really tried. Playing you guys made us realize what we are weak in, which is good.

Thanks for everything and looking forward to seeing you all again. :)

Haha, trust me, playing those matches while having a huge splitting headache is not the way to go, no more partying before CAG game sessions. I think you've said you were going to be gone but the CAGs should have a Burnout Paradise night on the week of the game's release.
