One moment when i gunned a vanguard drving between Tore and leza on cyssor th bridge was filled with Vanu soldiers. they jumped of teh sides when we smashed em! i AHd Wganer as abckground music too so this was awesome! The 150mm cannon made short work of the survivors! Tuly an amazing tank!

i don't know if it counts as a tank, but i gunned the firebird launcher vehicle thing once

man, that thing is powerful. the driver ran over everyone while i spammed rockets, then ran away, healed, came back and ran over more people. i don't know why it isn't out in the field more often

I was parked near Bitol in Solsar gunning for a vanguard.. man I love the way that thing BOOOMS. ANyway these TR kept coming out of the tower in their fancy MAX suits and we just kept that vanguard cannon hot blowing them down in 2 shots each. This went on for a good 10 minutes before we finally got killed by a reaver.

I love driving the magrider, but gunning the vanguard is hard to beat.

Probably the planetside-related dream I had last night. I was gunning a magrider, but it was flying waaay up in the air to some sort of base in the sky. Woo.

Well, I'll post it before the guy who was gunning does...I got sniped from about 200m last night...by the friggin magrider's driver cannon! Unbelievable -- that thing must be more accurate than any gun but the sniper rifle.

That's what we like to call a "lucky shot"

My best moment was when my vanguard (musta had 100HP left) was parked somewhere on Solsar. I think it was by mont. Anyhoo, the shell flew at just the right angle to miss 17 trees and an enforcer to land right at the Entry door to a VS Tower, killing 5 in one blow. then a decimator fawked me. In my room, it went like this:
"Wooho--oh, GODDAMMIT!!!" which was followed by a string of words so foul they'd make a drunken sailor cry.

Well today I was in a vanguard and me and the driver just kept driving around while i was sitting the in the gun position
we racked in alot of points but we didn't do any work, never saw a single enemy just visited places that were being hacked... ahh the life of the NC must've gained over 5000 points eventually we go bored and started killing people. Our squadmates would'nt believe us but it is true that every battle we came to was over when we got there.

This one night, me and and my outfit defended a base for a little over 1 and a half hour... the damn TRs just kept coming... Anyway, i was gunning a magrider, and me and my driver went around for this whole period and slauthered ppl. We didnt have a tech plant, so the pressure was on to stay alive :).

I think i killed over 30 max units, and 40 normal dudes, plus 5 reavers and 3 ams's... That doesnt include my drivers kills, Which was near 50 infantry aswell. Sweet :D

The best time i ever had was finding a near destroyed van parked near the maindoor of a base, first i checked to see if i could get into it, yep, then I repaired the thing to full and got in the drivers seat, I had a good angle on the main base entrance so i proceeded to just stat blasting terrans as they ran through. SHooting reavers down with the vanguard main cannon has got to be one of the most satisfying things in the world bar none, i just like the way they fall from the sky.

Back in beta, 75+person, hour and half killing spree on amerish using the same magrider. I drove, killed 6prowlers, 15+ reavers, couple skeeters. Finally ran overconfident towards base of TR, marauder, 2reavers and numerous infantry caught us. Ive had numerous other insane 50+ heavy action runs on the magrider, but that was the most memorable because of how many prowlers we took out (3 distinct prowlers that kept returning for ass woopin) in a 15-20min period. I remember one time on cyssor we had 2-4 magriders that kept running into 3-5 vanguards. We had them pinned on the bridge next to the NE base up there, we couldnt advance because of phoenix folks hiding in the bushes, but was a good 2hours of tank battles.

I wasn't really driving or gunning, but i laughed my ass off

a Magrinder was coming towards me, it didnt even try to shoot, it knew i was just gonna hit me from a mile away...first time i ever encountered one trying to run me over, as i normally run and fire from a reaver or so

well, i did the best i could and did the same thing i did in Halo...stand next to a rock...

wouldntcha kno, the tank completely jumped me.......


....then it backed up over me

I killed a magrider, who was at full health, with a lightning. Obviously, after the fight, my tank was so damaged that I decided to leave it...
