ESCALATION

[Nailer 7.62]

The other thread is now about in-laws. Which is cool, we need to moan about them somewhere. But now that it's out........I REALLY LIKE THE TANKS!!! And the Javelins perform as advertised, just ask firedevil, he blew me out of a tank w/one, my first official death in escalation. On the down side, a lot of us (I joined SoC, BTW) feel this game is what JO should have been right from the get-go. On the other hand, I would gladly have paid the combined price of the two for one game as cool as the one I now own. (does that last sentance make sense? damn sinus meds.)What do you all think? Is the 7.62 server going to be an escalation server? They have the G-3 back! That alone oughta do it, 'cept there's no 'nade launcher, still.

Glad I could give you, your first official death. ROFL I;ve learned the proper use of the Javelin...It will also take out jeeps as well...........With all the changes, they have made the Engineer class a power house......Played over the weekend in Nova servers in Escalation was averaging 30 kills a game doing nothing but being an Engineer.............TimberWolf will be able to give better detail, but I imagine we will rollover to Escalation once all of our squad members are able to get it.

Congrats on joining SoC,,they have a good group of players..........

Thanks! Yeah, I was impressed by how many people were playing as engineers yesterday.....almost as many as were playing as snipers a month ago! My biggest concern right now is that the emphasis is moving away from CQB/regular old firefights- guy with a gun doesn't stand a chance on some of these maps, it's going to be interesting to watch the game evolve.

I think that when the map editor comes out we can have the firefights again.These maps in escallation are too bigfor them.Remember when JO first came out it wasnt as good until people started making smaller maps and limiting the weapons of mass foot soldier killing.

I kill more outside of vehicles than I do in them. But I'm just killing people, I don't go up against tanks and what not. I run from them or just hide. Tanks seem to be newbie magnets so they ain't hard to hide from.

Whats the deal on the 7.62 JO server? East/West? Is it down in the morning (or just empty?) that's my primary play time during the week* and I never see it (but I only look at servers with people in it). I'm such a forum whore, I figured you guys would love to try and kill me.




*Actually this will be changing the second week in Dec as Kitty will be changing her schedual and we will putting our toddler into day care a few days a week and I will be able to sleep in the mornings again instead of the evenings so I should be able to frag a lot more. Plus me and Kitty are starting to play JO more than we have for sometime (we have both been distracted by other games FOR SHAME!, her some stupid online MUD style game with Vampires and I've been playing GTA:Vice City and Madden 2004 way to much lately, so we should be bringing our wicked 2 person killing machine to a server near you sometime.

Yeah, let me apologize for the server. My Internet connectivity was crap for about a week there, and during that time, the camel-f*cking idiot that runs the server hosting company claimed in an e-mail to Saggin that our contract was up. I e-mailed him Tues night that that was BS, we were good until Dec 18th, but I haven't heard back from him. We will be looking for a new host. But it is supposed to be on West Coast, and we will go to Escalation as soon as we can.

oh sorry....that sucks man. Kick somebody's ass.
