good games tonight guys, we had a mini meet up plus some more people... even had a full BTB Team of 8 for a while.
Quick highlights of my evening, more to come later...

BTB on Standoff
Not only my first Rampage & Untouchable but... an Invincible (thanks to apsolid for the warthog driving)

BTB on Standoff (different game)
2 Running Riots, finished with a good +56 w/ 70 kills

Completely f**king ridiculous.

You're an animal!

Well i would have to say Apsolid is the best driver I have ever seen. After the games i decided to go take a few pictures of the matches.

Bogues being driven by Apsolid getting his first invincible.

Then after that, Fatty and more of Kevin's friends join in and Fatty decides to steal my kill by shooting this dead guy in the head. (How?)

Only A few minutes later me and Stogieman (whose helmet is not on) double team this ghost.

After a stressful game of Covies Mcbiscuit took his rage out on some elites.

I'll be getting drunk all day at a going away party for a friend. I can, however, see myself playing all day Sunday.

Stogieman · Jul 26, 2008, 06:53 PM

I'll be on later today/tonight. I'll check my xbox live widget periodically to see who's on.

klb5090 · Jul 27, 2008, 05:38 PM

Dakar the Fourth · Aug 7, 2008, 07:34 AM

For the Faithful, looks like some odd changes ahead...

sek929 · Aug 7, 2008, 10:20 AM

What is the meaning of that graphic?

Dakar the Fourth · Aug 7, 2008, 10:22 AM

The new rank system, coming in AU2.

sek929 · Aug 7, 2008, 10:26 AM

New rank system?!?

Zuh?

Dakar the Fourth · Aug 7, 2008, 10:28 AM

It seems like a convoluted way to superficially hide the fact that you're about to get raped by a General, best I can tell.

But it does seem to hint at giving you a feel for how far you are from each skill progression (if I'm reading it right)

sek929 · Aug 7, 2008, 10:30 AM

Hmm, very interesting. I still don't fully understand, does this mean your army rank (general brig., etc) will change depending on the playlist you're in?

Dakar the Fourth · Aug 7, 2008, 10:31 AM

That's my best guess. Read the weekly update, if you care, god knows I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb.

Stogieman · Aug 7, 2008, 06:02 PM

So... will there be the usual Thursday night meetup tonight?

Dakar the Fourth · Aug 11, 2008, 10:38 AM

Somehow, this accidentally occurred last night:

sek929 · Aug 11, 2008, 11:19 AM

Had a good two games with Dakar, KB, and Stogie last night. Despite Dakar warning me about his general state of suck he did pretty damn well.

Hilarious moment from CTF on Valhalla.

I hit the Banshee with the missile pod, he runs for cover, I hit him again and he charges at me. I empty a half clip of BR and brace for splatter. As a total desperation move I melee just as the banshee boosts into me.

Somehow, some way, I manage to destroy the banshee with my well-timed melee.

I must've laughed hysterically for about a minute solid after this.

The first game we had was Slayer at Last Resort, which contained such über-pwnage I bet the other team committed suicide afterwards.

The totals

Fatty's stats

Other notables: Dakar and I had only two deaths. Our team's k/d was +60, their team was -62. Crosbie manned the Warthog for 8 of KBs turret kills.

Dakar the Fourth · Aug 11, 2008, 11:24 AM

Yeah, I was reviewing the games this morning. I looked at the other team, and then I understood. I figure I'm playing around a 20 lvl right now. Last resort has always been good to me as well.

The Valhalla game looks more realistic. I died a few times I really shouldn't have. My decision making is off, I've completely forgotten how to play maps (or game types), and my grenade abysmal.

You'll also notice I stayed clear of vehicles. I haven't been able to figure out what my issue is under the new awful controls but I suspect my left thumb might be trying to steer, really screwing my camera view. That or the right stick controls both turning and camera, at which point I want to commit suicide.

Even just firing a turret feels weird.

What prompted your abandonment of the Legacy scheme?
