Battlezone 1

Why so mad bro?

Super Bob XD

Jack have to think about that. He's the MAG-User and most new ppl who leave a game leave it because they dont know why they're killed so quickly.

Jack has been around. During 1.4, he wouldn't lower his FPS to 60, so he would be fast all the time, but since the switch-over to 1.5, the high-frames MAGgers tend to get blown up a lot now. Spork and I always joked that they would start playing 1.5 and wonder, "Why am I so slow?! The game is screwed up!" "No it's not silly! It's the same except you can't abuse your FPS anymore!"

Titan is mad. This is a 4 player limited game named "Tanks vs Bombers". The 4th player joined in a Lander, so the bomber had no buddy. It was 2 tanks vs 1 bomber, but that's no reason to get upset.

The scores are pretty close. It's not like he was losing by a landslide.


Claiming I play cheap, and kicked me out for shooting his empty ship. I tend to do that when I see him firing sniper rounds at me.

If he was in sniper position on the ground, then yeah, he's dumb and his white ship will get blown up.

If he fell down a slope or couldn't get into his vehicle and you destroy it, then that's lame. However, if you do that to him, instead of complaining, he should start doing that back to you. I don't mean he should go out of his way to destroy your white ship, but whenever he comes upon you he should do it. Remember, once you start doing lame stuff to people, then everyone will do lame stuff and then some of these games usually collapse.

Remember that match on Crown Spork? Jihad Joe grabbed the Blast and fired on us, then we grabbed Blast to retaliate. After that, the game was nothing but Golems and Blast Tanks and then the game, that was full by the way, dropped to three people: BattleDroid42, Myself, and somebody else. Droid and I left after that because we couldn't find anybody to shoot at.

When everyone is fighting for the Blast, Droid calls it "King of the Blast."

He was sniping from air, and he dares to complain when I kill him or shoot his white ship.

That game on Crown was tons of fun.

I understand... Many people do that to me too. If you are not in a ship, especially if u snipe, it is not a free pass to not be attacked in some way.
(kind of like Gt LOL, he jumps out as his ship gets in red, snipes at you, and yells at you when you kill him)
Why Don't They Understand?

Blast cannon is far more balanced for Strat than it is for DM... I'm torn on the issue though. On one hand, it gives people something to fight over on the map... on the other, no amount of skill can really counter the weapon in many cases. I can see how the blast cannon can ruin a good DM game... just like how APCs ruin otherwise fun strat games

Blast doesn't ruin DM and APCs don't ruin strat. Stop repeating yourself everywhere.

Remember Crown Spork? You can argue all you want, but once that Blastfest started, everyone started leaving the game. Droid and Myself left right after Jihad Joe, and he was the first one to start Blasting! After us, there was one one guy left in that game... The game died for a couple hours, then it was refilled, but then it was a new group of people playing.

As for APCs, you should be using explosives against them, like bombers, but that's for the strat forum...

I have yet to understand the fascination so many players seem to have with blast in 1.5. Sure, some people took advantage of some aspects of the game in the older versions to gain some advantage; but I seem to remember the majority having a more thorough understanding of what was universally agreed to be cheap and what was fair play.
Aside from a golem perhaps, a deathmatch where players are fighting with rockets, stabbers, mortars and the occasional sniping goes quite bland once someone decides they're going to rely on blast. Especially when using it to kill pilots. -_-
In strategy, at least the ammo use is limited a bit when someone relies on blast. Still, though, it is basically an unskillful tactic.

You also have to keep in mind though that blast has been in these DM maps for more than a decade...

so... the real fix is just to try playing custom maps without the weapon and encouraging players to join your games and download your map. Now, whether that ever actually happens... ... yeah.

I don't really get the blast issue, most people using blasts are unskilled players that think they are awesome because they can hit others from 200m away. That said, I don't really care if someone is using blast, either on a Golem or on another unit, you just need to try to hide behind walls and have him waste his shots, then annihilate him when he's going for ammo.

There's a way to counter everything, I do agree that a few blasters can make the game less fun (being hit from meters away isn't really fun in my opinion) but it will only ruin the game if the rest of the players are unskilled OR the blaster(s) won't give up and continue blasting, blasting, blasting... That would ruin the game for me, at least.

I do have a few ways to counter blasters, but it gets bad when either Blastfests start, people leave the game because of the blaster and the game dies, or both. If you want a blastfest, make a Golem only dm geez...

Droid, Spork, and Myself tend to team up against Blasters and Ravers before we begin fighting each other again. +1 internets if the person in question cries about being teamed. "Well dummy, don't use the superweapon! You drew too much attention to yourself!"
