Amusing moment in PS last night

[Majik]

Little in game story for you (Emerald server)

Last night the vanu were attempting to take Oshur from the nc. We had taken Zal (bio lab) and that was as far as we had gotten. For an hour the NC beat on the VS trying to get us out of this base. I have never seen the VS more stubborn about giving up a base, made me proud :D

After the hour of beating on us with ground and air, the NC organized a 3 gal drop to try and get that damn roof gen. The base couldn't have had much more CE in it, so even the roof was covered. This of course couldn't stop 3 gals of troops from taking out the gen. The entire base ran straight into the gen and had it back up in 2 minutes.

The NC did 3 more similar drops, all preceeded by EMP strikes which made all the CE we were doing between them useless. Each time they killed the gen, each time they got bumrushed and we had the gen back up in 2 minutes.

Now the 5th gal drop was my favorite. By this point the VS had gotten ourselves into a rush the gen groove the second we saw the gals overhead. Despite the fact that they just kept EMPing my CE, I kept placing it between drops. When the 5th group dropped from 2 gals this time, they got a BIG surprise. Half a dozen landed right on my mines (KILL SPAM WOOHOO), but one of our CR5s was ready with his OS, which he dropped right on the roof of the gen as they landed (MORE KILL SPAM WOOHOO).
Well between the group that landed right on my CE, and the ones that got OSed, when the VS came rushing onto the roof to get them, they found that not a single NC had survived the landing :lol:

For some reason that was the last of the gal drops on that gen :groovy:

[CassH]

LOL i wish i could have been there sounds like fun.

[tjmonk15]

god damn.....any TR wouldve laughed there asses off at that....damn NC gj VS


LOYALTY TIL DEATH

[Firefly]

HAHA the NC got smoked like a cheap cigar in Clinton's Ovary Office.

This made my day.

[CMRath]

WH00T, that's the way to do it guys. I heard we pushed em back to the sanc, is that true? i was there to lock one of their conts, but i couldn't b on much later than that

[Red October]

Reminds me of the time when TR (on Markov) were pushed by the NC all the way back to the capital on Cyssor and we held it seems like forever. I remember grabbing my Combat Engineer Alamo favorite and going outside and laying mines, spitfires and motion sensors constantly. Load up, run out, lay out, run back in, repeat. NC would push in a little, we push them back out. We would push out a little, NC would push us back in. Finally TR capped another cont with a link to Cyssor and they hit the cont from the north. Forcing some NC to break off and deal with them....which finally allowed us to go on the offensive. One hell of a battle.

[Cauldron Borne]

Reminds me of the time me and a buddy had mined the southern most bridge on Cyssor, the one to the East, near Orisha. He and I held that sucker from about twenty times our number. We'd both heavily CE either side of the bridge(max out on all our stuff), then sit back and wait. The NC would roll up, get blown to hell and we'd pick em off. By the time we decided to leave (TR had FINALLY made some progress so we could leave), I had 67 kills (started at that bridge with 2, a cloaker and a Pheonix Sniper). My friend had about 71 (all from the bridge). Total we had about 10k Bep from that. It was the most fun I've ever had on a bridge (lately).


GOOD JOB VS for sticking it to the NC. Always fun to kick in the teeth of those braggarts.

[CMRath]

HAH, the NC may seem uber powerful, but when we hold for 30 min they decide to go cep whore somewhere else

NC Cepwhore: :bananasex

[Meursault00]

Hahaha, it's beautiful that stuff like that happens. The VS are really stubborn about leaving a base under siege. You literally have to drag us out kicking, screaming, biting, and scratching. :evil: Then after finally taking over the base, we'll come right back and keep fighting tooth and nail until the hack is finished. I want to share my similar story here on Markov. But it's too long and such a pain to type out so I won't. Basically it was a 2+ hour 3-way on Sina. :groovy:

[HawkEye]

all the VS have to do to hold a base is just lasher spam every entrance so no one can get in.

[Sanguinius]

ahhh. you play NC.....

[ChewyLSB]

all the VS have to do to hold a base is just lasher spam every entrance so no one can get in.

And all the NC have to do is use their three instagib weapons to blast enemies apart.

Every coin has two sides. Er... except for the PlanetSide one... which happens to have three.

[Baneblade]

Get rid of the Jack's triple and then we can see who has skill.

[Phaden]

Umm i hate to say that some NC dont use any of these instagib weapons, and are doin just fine for themselves. Gimme a rocklet and im happy. Feel free to note that none of the kils are from jackhammer and maybe 50 from Thunderer, and of course some from a Vanguard.

Kinda reminds me of OF's in this post...

EDIT- So my sig isnt showing up quite right, but i think im at 5022, and you can still click and check for self.

[ChewyLSB]

What's your point? Some VS don't Lasher spam.

[HawkEye]

And all the NC have to do is use their three instagib weapons to blast enemies apart.


i thought NC were supposed to have the most powerful weapons. /shrugs.

[ChewyLSB]

i thought NC were supposed to have the most powerful weapons. /shrugs.

And the VS are supposed to be versatile, so their HA can be used as SA.

[Lartnev]

Lasher spam is countered by the thumper, the maelstrom and hand grenades on 3/2 second fuses. :)

[HawkEye]

some people dont have Thumper, maelstroms are not always avaliable, and most people do not carry nades with them. then how do u counter that.

[Sanguinius]

teach them how to carry grenades :rolleyes:

most people SHOULD have a few nades on em.

[Cauldron Borne]

I carry a jammer and a plasma 'nade clip on me. That and a REK. They should be standard issue. Jammers save my ass. AND the NC get all jumpy when i throw them on 2 second fuses straight up... Fun as hell to see the NC get all nervous when I take away their precious DLV... I got a group of four to almost kill themselves looking for me. Kept shooting wildly when i jammed em. All I had to do was knife the two survivors once each. I had fun....

[Lartnev]

some people dont have Thumper, maelstroms are not always avaliable, and most people do not carry nades with them. then how do u counter that.

That's like saying "well some people don't carry decimators, how are they supposed to counter MAXs."

The point was that with a little bit of thinking, the lasherspam can be overcome.

[Phaden]

The only point i was saying that NC arent ll whoring the Jackhammer and the like, and neither are the other empires. Thats all. Some of us can do quite well with weapons people dont use much.

[Ducimus]

I'm going to interupret amusing as "funny".

Riding in a sundy, and watching in 3rd person as our whole squad accidently drives off a cliff in Ceryshen. We all died, but it was funny as hell.

Seeing a hotdrop on a base we just resecured from a back hack, theres 3 of us, i jumped back into our libs ball turret, and smoked the fucker in the CY as he started doing his Jackhammer twostep surge bunny dance on my squadmate.

Being in a hurry while driving a maradur, seeing a bridge, knowing full well that it was probably mined out the wazzo. Sure enough, i ended up leaving that vehicle on the bridge at 10% armor. Took off on foot, charlie mike, looked back at the vehicle and said unto myself "dumbass!"

Sniping on a bridge battle on Cyssor, and all of a sudden seing a November Charlie cloaker fall like a rag dall in front of me. I promptly got a "WTF!!!" tell.

Nailing vangards with a thumper with EMP nades and watching them run away PDQ.

I had an extremly rare opportunity. NC AMS was positioned in some trees, like at EXTREME rangefrom the base i was defending. I couldnt see it, but it could see the shimmering of ppl moving around under the cloak bubble. I had the zoom implant in, i must have been the nly one cause no other sniper took the shots. The equipment terminal was perpendicular to my position, i had a clear shot at everyone requiping. Ohhh that was fun. I was slamming the rounds down range like a monkey on crack.

Nailing a VS noob at 400 meters on the run with a bolt driver. Best shot i ever made. Didnt think i'd get him.

[JetRaiden]

awesome. awesome to the max.

[Cauldron Borne]

Before I descovered the truth that is Sniping I picked it up for all of a day. This was WAAAAAAY back when. I shot the gun once. A cloaker at 400m. Luckiest shot alive. The delay time for the bullet was a solid second. Thought I missed. TOTALLY FRIGGEN SWEET. I dropped it the next day....


...Now I got it back and I am LOVING the hate tells. It means I am having an effect on em. I demoralized an entire platoon once, it seemed like. I kept getting hate tells from about 20-30 people about how I must be cheating. Kept the buggers pinned in their tower, afraid to come out, all by my lonesome. I loved that. Then the stupid zerg had to ruin my fun and cap the tower....

[Professor Frink]

Killing a Prowler with my beamer because the noob couldn't steer his way outta the trees. He shoulda given up & gotten out! All I had was my beamer so he coulda smoked me w/ a cycler. It took forever!

it was probably already damaged alot. no idiot would sit in a prowler and watch it slowly get destroyed by some infantry. I cant stand it when my vanguard loses more then half its armor to wall turrets.

[Professor Frink]

Don't believe me? I said the guy was obviously a noob. It was damaged to be sure but it still took me upwards of 5 minutes to K that thing.

[Cauldron Borne]

How much ammo did you HAVE?
