    Re: I Quit

    well, I still wish you weren't quitting rab, cause there are still plenty of guys that are having fun flying.. the style of flying you like is what I fondly refer to as LRS style, cause back when most of us were flying v1 that's how we used to fly - balls to the wall and guns blazing, and it was much fun -- and still is. However, there is still much fun to be had. It took me a while, but after v2 came out I learned to enjoy flying a little more stealthier, even though it took a while. I actually enjoy hunting down 5-agl-ers now and beating them at their own game: there are a few guys that are extremely hard to beat, but most of them aren't too good at keeping their chopper completely still. so when you sneak around behind them as soon as they turn the chopper they are more likely to be killed. My fav way to accomplish that is to pick a mountain and bounce my sound off it while flying backwards to get to where I want to be, which fools most of them. And to attack, its important to get a little height by doing the evasive maneuver. Also, its fun to start with guns cause for some reason that tends to spook them to move also. heehee The same tactic works pretty good to sneak up on hill farpers too, although its often hard to bounce the sound properly when they are on the other side of the hill, but I find that flying backwards while popping over to attack them often fools them. These are tactics that I have never shared with anyone but my teammates till now, but thought you might find humorous cause I don't recall ever seeing you fly that way. At any rate, my only point it that there is still much fun to be had, and even with the hill farpers and agl-ers, its possible to still have a good time, cause even with the problems the game has had it still is a blast, at least for me.

    regards,

    nak

    Well Nak, I might have found my own fix for the camper problem, In my own server anyway. I started running a 1H server. If your camping and it only takes 1 hit to kill you, well it isnt a pretty sight. And actually I think its a more realistic game this way. Most the people that have tried it like it. I know I do. LOL If you know how to fly you can still avoid stingers by strafing. If you don't know how then you can sit and be a target or start learning.
    Oh yeah, I'm almost finished with the other map I was telling you about. Maybe later today or tomorrow. Depends on how lazy I'm feeling. LOL

    by the way, I know everyone thinks that c4 is dying, and it may be true, but besides the hard core guys still around, there are pilots that are coming out in places you might not expect. I discoverd this while debugging my own version of the c4servers list cause it makes a local log of servers for quick country look-up. In the last few days the log showed servers popping up in Lithuania, Poland, China, and a couple other slavic countries. Just thought you'd like to know that the supply of pilots isn't completely untapped ! C4League

    Re: I Quit

    You know my answer for popups
    Is to rember the spot that they popup in!!
    then time your passives for when they will do the popup, because usually they will drop down behind the hill as you first approch and then attempt the popup at you


    But justice is Sweeeeet when you get them with passivs first that will teach the pesky buggers!!

    and it prolly works about 8 ot of 10 times and they learn not to try popups again!! hehehe lol

    Re: I Quit

    Sorry So Dam. I disagree with you. All it really does is make them move behind a different hill or group of trees. The problem is that they never learned how to actually fly and thats the only way they can get points. So you have to find the new place they pitched there tent and get them again. By that time they have got 3 or 4 kills. So its not bad if you can get 3 or 4 kills to 1 death and never actually learn to play the game huh.

    Re: I Quit

    R~A~B you are 100% correct. I too long for the old days, when there was a 1 or 2 point diff. in matchs or games instead of 20, 30 or even 40. I got the game when it came out and OH it was so much fun, then came 8h and 3h, but INSO came out with a fix for that, and that lasted for some time. Dam it was a lot of fun!!! But for about the last year or year and a half we have the pilots and squads that can double your score in a game or match and still say they are not doing anything funny ( won't call them cheaters ) and I think the ones that are left in C4 have except it rather than say some thing is not right. But if you have to do it to win, so be it, I feel sorry for these guys. I realy want to play the game so bad until I get in a server and then see whats going on and have to leave. I think all we can do is thank NOVA.

    I use to be pretty good at killing popup, campers or whatever found them to be easy avoid them make them move to get a kill. Attack them with stealth and kill them..
    Most important in that game is listen.When they are sitting not moving the sound is diffrent just like when chopper is flying away from you or at you.
    Avoid them is the most fun makes them move and like you said they can't fly so they DIE!!!

    Re: I Quit

    Another thing that seems to be happening more and more is pilots suiciding to avoid being killed. I would expect this kind of thing from newbies maybe but it seems that quite a few squad members have taken a liking to this. They seem to think it's funny but I can assure you, you lose a lot of respect. I'm with you Rab, this game has really changed and NOT for the good.

    Re: I Quit

    It seems to me suiciding is cutting there own throats. It not only gives you another death but also takes a point away from your score. But with some of the things I've seen lately I'm really not suprised. I feel the way Red Baron does. I really want to play but when I get into a server.... Well it just isn't much fun anymore.

    Sharky huh? Don't remember the name. Have you played for long or is that a new name?

    Re: I Quit

    Screaming Eagle? Now why does that name seem familiar. Yet I still don't know who it is. Hmmm. Thanks Blue. Now I'll be stuck thinking about that for a while. Kind a like haveing an annoying song stuck in your head all day. LOL But in a world of aliases like the internet is to begin with its kind of hard to keep track of all the sub-aliases. I'm talking about mine. Everybody elses are impossible.

    Re: I Quit

    Well - the forum IP indicates the two using the same provider/server anyway. Whatever the gaming nic is -- I couldn't say.

    Re: I Quit

    Rgr that. I do recognize the name. Has been a while since I've seen it. But a good player from what I can remember.

    Hey Blue, While I have your attention here. I was wondering about one of your mods. The planet with the moving satalites. How hard would that be to add it into BHD. I've started making some maps for that now and really liked that one. I noticed with your C4 mods. Even those that didnt have them installed could still enter the server. Just couldnt see the oblects. I had a few ideas where I could use that on a couple maps that would look kewl but wouldnt effect the game play if you didnt have the item in your pff files. Was wondering if i could extract it from the C4 pff and add it to BHD with the Ravens PFF Editer. If not its no big deal.

    Re: I Quit

    I'm not sure it would work with just a move from one pff to the other. The 3DI's are different - though BHD might be able to read the C4 3DI. Ummm... the wife and I are going going to take 'the boys' (our dogs) for a walk. When I get home, I'll make the mod compatable for BHD. I'm thinking of adding some light to the 'nucleus'..and the the 'electrons' - to make it visible at night. Let me know if that suits you.
