Reaver fight.

So i climb into my newly spawned reaver and head towards the south side of cyssor for a tower battle. I get 3 reavers on me. I dip through some trees, under a bridge, and skim the cliffs of a mountain. All 3 reavers on me. In a desperate attempt i afterburn towards a warpgate in hopes of being able to repair. I land safely as do the 3 reavers. The ace pilots climb out and we all have some good conversation in /tells. All of a sudden when they start repairing there reavers, i climb into mine and afterburn out of there waiting behind a nearby cliff. 2 of the reavers head back to the battle when one of them heads my direction. I take up position behind the reaver shooting it down with my guns and a volley of rockets only to get a nice tell reading "F***** BASTARD"

on my cousin's computer, I was in a tower. so there was this reaver fling around the top of the base killing the people at the turrets so i went upstairs and looked down and the reaver was just hovering there so I jumped from the tower onto the reaver aimed down and unloaded although I got killed it was still cool.

This happend when I was leading a squad which locked Ishundar last weekend for the TR. We we're at the last base in the continent that belonged to teh VS (forgot the name at the time) and we JUST got the tower, my squad moved to the backdoor and we got in, we were fighting our way through the base, slowly but surely. We where passing through the spawn room on to the CC, taking out newly spawns on the way when I get the pop up "(insert name here) tower has been captured by the Vanu Soverignty." Now we where REALLY stuck between a rock and a hard place. We eventually made it to the CC with only 3 guys and held them off..barley. My MAX was down to 20 armor and I had around 70 health (no idea how, it just was.). So that's my finest hour, how about all of yours?

I only lag......but i had some very good 1 by 1 battles. Onc i was a cloaker and i hacked the cc, then like 10 nc maxs came o the room, luckly they we not br6 yet. So i would throw my plasmas at them, then run outside and wait for them all to stop shooting. Then i went inside over and over again and did the same thing. I killed about half of them, then finally a big yellow guy came walking up to me and blasted the shit outa me.

Another time i found a very new guy walking around, so i got him more familiar with everything.....it was fun....altho he knew jack about anything but how to move and send tells.

I remember being on the run from a reaver using a combination of heavy treecover, armor repair and medkits to keep myself alive, plus liberal doses of surge between the passes. I came to the edge of the trees but knew i could never make the way to the base without catching a rocket or four up the butt so I broke cover and unholsetered my thumper, mostly because I didnt want him to see me with my desolator. Now maybe he was out of missiles, maybe he just had this tora tora tora fetish but he decided to make a close in pass at me rather then hover off and fire (if he'd done this i whould have made a run for it. As he was making his pass I fired, he must have felt the pucker factor because instead of firing he immediatly leveled out and started to ascend, if he'd fired he might have been alright but the decilator had cycled and he was almost right over me when i fired again he tried to get above it with straight vtol but it clipped him, boom crash reaver done, chearing support guy running towards the next base for an ams under full surge power.

I remember about a week ago I spawned a Reaver and went to cyssor. While I was there my reaver got jacked by a TR and he killed me with it. End story.

I was playing on my friends computer one night for the TR. So anyways, I was defending this tower with about 20 other guys. There was a base on each side of it and both were held by the Vanu. I was crouched in a door and was trying to nail this one guy from afar with a Supreser when I saw the guy in front of me drop dead from a single shot somewere one my left. I turned and zoomed in on the place. Sure enough, a head pokes over the hill to shoot me but I fired a burst of. He cowerd back behind the hill for a couple of seconds thinking I'd lose intrest. About 7 seconds later that head reapeard so I shot again. Thinking I had him spooked, I ran around the opposite side of the hill and sneeked up right behind him before unloading a clip in his back.

Just goes to show that even a sniper can lose track of his prey

So I'm in a squad, and unfortunately, our Gal Pilot was a lagger. So we warp, and come out parked sideways on one of the claws around the warp bubble. We all hotdrop, only to be injured by the height. We were then jumped by a Sunderer and its Vanguard escort. Luckily, we had some reaver escort, so the Vanguard was destroyed before it could do serious damage. The Sunderer was the problem tho. It shot our reaver out of the sky and was owning our troops because none of our squad was special assualt. So we're all dodging around like crazy when a second Gal warps through the warpgate. It was our lagger, somehow he had gone back to sanc, got ANOTHER gal, and came back. His laggage caused him to crash right into the Sunderer, seriously injuring it. I was in the dual-cycler MAX, and planted behind a tree where the Sunderer couldnt see me. I unplanted, stepped to side, and ordered one of my squad members to try and distract the sunderer. He did, and I re-planted and ripped into the back of the sunderer, destroying it, and then guess who appears? Mr. Lag, with ANOTHER new gal. Whoop-de-do. And guess how we all died? Crashing into a tower.

I was in a Sparrow (NC AA Max) on top of air vehicle tower right next to a dropship base. I took down three galaxies, four reavers and three mosquitos before i was taken out by AV max. Three full galaxies really nets you the experience.

Searo · 2003-06-06, 10:56 PM

I was in my Reaver, ready to unload some missiles on the inhabitants of a tower, when this skeeter pops outta nowhere. I open up with the chainguns and kill him. Then a MAX chews up my Reaver from behind,

Kikinchikin · 2003-06-06, 11:50 PM

about a week ago i was flyin around in my reaver, i think it was searhus, not sure, and i saw one of them big, juicy, tasty galaxies flyin around. So being the mean person that i am, i pull completely off course and begin to harass this galaxy. I pepper him with rockets, but i was low from a fight and ran out quickly, so i start hitting him with my machine guns, he trys to get outta the way but takes a ton of damage, ok so he sees this warpgate, right next to a TR tower, with the tiniest little sliver of health left, (i could tell i had advanced targeting at the time) he limps his busted gal into the gate right as i fire a shot that would have killed him, so he parks his gal and i park right next to him. we look at each other and he pops his friends ANT out and proceeds to begin repairing it. about this time an enemy reaver comes over and parks there. So i decide to be all tricky and fly away. I fly and park my reaver behind the tower near the gate. I walk into it, get some rockets, and hove waiting for him to leave again, this time hes accompanied by the reaver. So he takes off thinking hes safe, but all of a sudden i ambush him and hit him dead on with about 20 rockets, messing him up good. knowing that he was screwed, he hotdrops and leaves his comrades for dead, only to be raped by more rockets from me. the Gal crashes into a tree and xplodes. But..... its not over. The reaver gets behind me and bangs me up pretty good. So i afterburn away, knowing that i cant escape him, i decide to act in desperation. I make a U-turn and use a lil afterburner i have left and floor it head on into him, right before i hit, i hotdrop out. The reavers collide killing him and destroying my reaver, but i float down to Earth, with 50 health and 75 armor. LOL needless to say i was pretty happy, so while telling my outfit member about it, i get sniped in the face and die.
