I'm pretty sure I got zapped a few times, but I also think you guys were on my side. Maybe I got zapped by the guys that you guys zapped that were getting revenge.

I had a blast! Certainly got blasted a lot anyway. I only got a few rounds in and it was funny how I had to adapt back from PR to PoE...so so different. Just remembering things like not having to wait so long for your weapon to settle before shooting, stepping on a med pack actually feels good. You can 'spot' enemies

Anyway, lot's of fun. Those Nuke rounds are crazy. Fallen was absolute mayhem as well!

Thanks for the good games guys!

Cheers,

Note*: the 6th Devil's usually work hard at grouping together on the 6th/16th/26th of each month...instead of spreading out across both teams or running multiple squads, we try to take those 3 days each month to game with each other.

Good times for sure. I Loved Fallen Frontlines too, and only managed to get bzzzzd once all night

When I saw you were 2k/8d early in the round I figured you were either trying something new, drinking or both.

Berezne Frontlines was nice as well, just not the outcome i was hoping for.

Project nailed it, way too much zerging while defending the nuke on Carpathian.

Hmm, maybe we need to discuss some tactics and tips that work well for Nuke Mode.

Ive never laughed so hard ingame before.

Squad chat often looked something like this:

On Carpathian assaulting I had a lot of success clearing the north(?) entry points with the benneli. Its the spot where snipers typically drop claymores - I just kept peeking through the breaks in the fence and popping in and out taking down anyone that tried to get close. Our specops had free movement to hit the nuke there and it got destroyed pretty quick from what I remember.

I also noticed in other rounds that a team can really do well just by having a few people hiding near the nuke watching the various angles. Typically the players trying to C4 the nuke focus so much on that job that even if your in plain sight they tend to ignore you. When a team doesn't keep players like this on defense and starts moving in force to every area of trouble that they let people sneak in.

That was me, thanks for the buckshot.

I noticed you did that a few times with good success. Whatever that map was with the really tall building overlooking the nuke, you were laying in the crates right next to the nuke. Test as SL tried a couple of good spots, but that was a tough run to the nuke so by the time we evaded the other 6 guys we were just focused on getting packs on.

Test: "what the hell are you standing next to me for, get to the nuke"

Good times.

It was really good to try something new for a change, i had a lot of fun. I think we should do events like this more often, it's a good way to promote the mod and the server.

It would be also a good idea to put in a couple of frontline maps in the regular rotation every once in a while besides olesko, those intense firefights over one flag are really exciting and a good way to try new tactics and roles.

How about when someone in our squad spawned in Engineer! Thanks for putting mines under the nuke!

**HiTest** · 08-18-2009, 02:33 PM

I agree with Buflak. Lets put the Olesko Frontline to rest for awhile. It ends up with people just camping on the flag radius. One team sits on the flag radius inside Church while the other does the same but inside the Keep.

**ProjectNA** · 08-18-2009, 03:24 PM

At least frontline works well even with low player counts, or is that just me?

**HiTest** · 08-20-2009, 12:11 AM

I agree. I like it with a smaller player count. Im just a little tired of olesko. The flag radius on the center flag is just a little big for my liking.

It felt like this even helped boost the Tuesday numbers. Maybe a map pack night this weekend will help next week's games? Support seems to be there for special nights on the weekends.
