It turned into such a run'n'gun fest because so many features (running top speed while scoped in and firing more accurately anyone???) favored this style, that I couldn't separate the two.

The flaws in JO are numerous, and frequently problematic, if not highly exploitable. However, I've found that playing with TG on our server softens the frustration I would otherwise feel elsewhere. True, some pubbies come and give a sharp reality check, but my experience playing here with the quality of TG players is what I enjoy. For me it's less the game and more the community. So long as TG doesn't devolve into the inane Rambo attitude I lived with in my RvS community, I'll remain quite content playing nearly any game here, probably in spite of any glaring problems the developers allow.

LOL that's the game's only saving grace.

Tactical Gamer- we make otherwise broken games one hell of a good time.

I must say that I love the game. Yet you can not deny the fact that NL released an incomplete game built on an over stretched 3D eng. and are now preparing to push an expantion that those of us who play will inevitable pay for. I constantly tell myself and every one that I will not buy it, but the truth is one the expantion is out there servers will be updated and we will have little choice. I am dissapointed in the way NL is handleing things.

To comment on Mirfee's last post: I agree, when the update hit and Apophis was out of town I simply didn't play JO for a couple of days. I prefer to be on the Home server. I think having it public is good in many respects. The main reason being that it shows vital flaws in out tactics and pushes us to play better. I have noticed that we will get our butts kicked for a while, then all of a sudden we start to figure out what, when and where to turn the tide. Some times a full on "rambo" style assault is all that will work, but only when it is an organized "Rambo"run.
