Well guys here it comes, im counting down to General now and i have begun to notice some things in WH.

1. WH is no longer a team game but is now (for the most part) a game of who can get the most kills.

        This sucks because it usually happens most in a baserape where the other team is outnumbered and nobody switches teams anymore to help out the other team.

2. In the PR servers Idle players are now a fact of life.

          No server will run with Idle kick on and when you kick out the idle players the server dies. this is really bad in zones and most of the time the official zones servers wont get strated so there is no zones server anymore.

3. In a base rape where you cannot switch teams, i see high ranked players doing nothing but hovering over the other teams homebase waiting for them to respawn so they can kill them with a TOW, Cluster or some other long range weapon so as not to risk their own lives.

          what is the point? they spawn with a knife and pistol. this seems a bit cowardly to me and only noobs with no skill should even bother with this.

4. Pilots. a whole other story. There are times when pilots must be in there air (this i know) but there are times that pilots need to be on the ground as well. lets say there are 6 people on a team and 4 are pilots who do nothing but fly...are the other 2 supposed to capture all the bases alone? what if the other team only has 2 pilots and they can keep the 4 from the other team busy..they then have 4 on the ground taking bases and are more likely to win the game. pilots most of the time only care about how many A2A kills ththey can get...this goes back to point #1 lol

5. In most games the noobs are the best players to have on your team because they have not yet learned to kill therefore go for the objective more often than not. (this excludes the one i played with yesterday who found it prudent to destroy my plane at every base so the enemy wouldnt get it, gets kindof hard to leave the middle base in DC without a plane LOL) I do appologize to you if you are reading this but i was pretty angry when you stranded me and that TK wont happen again....maybe.

i feel like there is more to add to this but for now i will leave it be.

around 20,000 to go and im working hard on it. see you all in zones (i hope).

I will be having a rank up party sometime in the next week or so for my General rankup, i hope to see you all there and i will be making an announcement for Fungames very soon

all valid points T, especially no.3, I hope i'm around when you rank up (off next week but away the weekend) keep us posted

great post T....its a shame every single point u made is true

the worst experience in a game has to be 2 or 3 hawks hovering an inch from ur face and firing everything they've got when ur equipped with a waterpistol and butter knife.....apparently KDR is way more important to some than actually winning the match!

personaly my pet hate in warhawk is those 10 min zones matches with 2 full teams and only 1 or 2 players actually doing anything...i messaged a host once and he said the server was set up for ppl who want to rank up while "sleeping"....SLEEPING!...c'mon....really waste of electricity if u ask me hahahaha!!

WOOHOO party at T's house in D/C in a week...i'll bring the Champagne

Yes, all true. But there are still games where this doesn’t happen. They’re just getting fewer and fewer.

There is a TEG 10min zone server that this also happens in. To be fair I have played many fun & balanced games in that server as well. I'm not sure what I'm saying, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do w/ being stoned in a glass house.

Thats how it is sadly, now the game is infested with moron 1v1 pilots and idlers and alts.

True, true,  it' s a beautiful game but in fact, everyone wants to score easily to rank up faster. I think even though I m not a skilled guy, cause I play this game for 5 months or so, the best games are in UK Zones blue server. It s the only type of a game in which it s not so important to frag everyone and the main goal remains to take the zone so you frag only if it s necessary. The CTF ones are in fact big flag TDM's and cause the game takes longer to finish, the aim is not on the mission, but on killin one each other. And it s a shame, I saw, with all my consideration, very good players who can win a game on their own, but there s more team switchers, that spoil everything and make even those real players to quit. I think that an improvement will be the impossibility to change sides, banning the idlers and glitchers.

In fact you know how a man it is in real life, looking at his playing style.

I think the biggest problem is that in the most player-ranked servers random teams is off.

We need the ability to create our own vehicles, I want a jet powered pair of roller skates, in a camo paint job obviously so no one could see me. I'd skate everywhere knifing you all in the face and sitting on you keeping my bum warm as you die slowly without your mum.

On a lighter note, in CTF-Lg3 the other night, markjayw team switched to the losing side. A lot of players dropped out within a couple of minutes due to an unfair match of pretty much ground players vs pilots. Inevitably circa 12 v 2 and he switched. See, there is hope after all.
