Guys I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, as some of you may have already gotten, but when I posted my thoughts about discussing new and upcoming titles it was just that......   a thought.  I wasn't pissed off or venting a tirade.  That is a whole other side to this issue that I feel should be discussed at some point.  Just want to make sure we tackle this from all possible angles.  People just assuming I'm posting all pissed off and all........hell I just am stating ideas.  And I do happen to think my experiences with other clans can be of use here.  Some people here may only know RBL as their clan life.  I am one that unfortunately can't say that.  I've seen what happens to clans that try to expand to things they are not ready for, or they say they are going to expand and never do it.  this is an exciting issue to me and I just want to help get things rolling along.  There are a few issues here to delve into.  First and foremost as Homles has stated, I agree with listing popular older titles that we have.  Just wanted to clarify if we plan to discuss other issues on this topic.  Now I know we will so I'll keep quiet and see what develops.

No worries Ace.

I think everyone is making this out to be allot harder than what it is...
Simply list all games (multiplayer) you have that you are active in... they can be new or old, doesn't matter so long as you are actively playing in them.

This is just information gathering at this point, more discussion will follow once we get a list. baby steps!

Crimson Skies, WarCraft 2,and 1 I just picked up, but as yet haven't even tried out, heh,: JetFighter V, Homeland Protector. Anyone ever try that 1 out? It looked interesting.

[M1A2Tanker]

I've seen it, but I didn't get it.  It didn't interest me all that much for some reason.  Not sure why either, but eh.

Oh, and I have corrected my list, and even added links.  If you click them all, a popup will appear before and give you a complimentary mint.

Has anyone tried out Freelancer?
I have tried out the Trail version, and it reminds me much of Privateer. The only downtake is that it doesn't support joystick control. Its even supported by BSC.

MUAHAHAHA!!! Due to a turn of good fortune from the Ebay gods, i now have the COMPLETE saga of MechWarriors. That's right Ace, MW1-MW4:Merc.


MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[Acehigh]

 good show goku!  Let me know when you wanna get it on in vengeance or black knight.  those are the only two I have that I can play online.  

[Goku1]

Here's my opinion of MW4 Black KNight and Vengence....

Vengence is a very good game. You start off small with light mechs. I prefferd using the Shadow Cate for the majority of the missions. One hint, as soon as you get a heavier mech, strip the weaponry, max out the armor, then work from there. Make sure you use plenty of heat sinks.

From most of the game, i preffer to use the Mad Cat. This mech is a heavy class mech weighing in at 75 tons. Nice amount of standard firepower, but not quite what i liked. For the MC, you've jus got to keep the LRM20's on there, they frikin rock at long range. Strip down the arms and add a few medium pulse lasers and a couple of large clan lasers and you'll be set. PPC cannons are realy a waste of time. Bombast lasers are deadly at long and short ranges, and they weight less and do more damage. Difficult to learn, but once you get the timing on them down, you'll be dishing out serious damage.

Black night makes you kill the guy you were in Vengence, but don't worry. There are a few new mechs, but the majority of them blow. The Black Knight Mech itself, an Assault class, is a big lumbering target not good for much. This is still a great game though. Several of the missions i found very difficult, but i've whooped it.

In Any case, these games play well and look good. I give them a 9 out of 10

[Acehigh]

Yes I totally agree with the review of the games.  Just remember Goku that's against AI mechs that those things work well.  Pulse lasers don't work that well against online people.  Most people load up on large weapons for quick kills online.  The Mad Cat is a great mech I also am very found of it.  I usually use the Mad Cat MK II online.  

[Goku1]

beh. i can't stand using something that can run out of ammo.

anyhow, i've got tommorow off of school, 4/12/04, so if you want to go 1v1 tommorow in MW4 vengence, lemme know.

[Acehigh]

Right now I don't have to work tomorrow until my soccer team has a match at 5ish cst.  So I think I can probably meet ya on the zone goku.  Probably say like 10 or 11ish am cst?  If I get called to sub in the morning then I won't be on the zone, but as right now I don't have anything.
