Can you still do it?

Returning players:

Was it like riding a bicycle? Driving a Thunderer again sure was to me!





Aside from some WoT (r-r-r, oh yeah, Q) moments and awkward "Ehr... I didn't want to pull my EMP grenade on you! D: " moments (), how have you faired?



For me, infiltration went well as always, just without the Routerpad the options are a bit more limited to pure sabotage and resec steals. And jacking Prowlers as they drive by, of course.

My squad of 3-5 picked up where we left off: mainly holding and resecuring bases against overwhelming odds, especially the PS2 players with us were amazed at how suited the bases were for defense. When we ran a training squad for newbees with a few CR5s, a lot of ooohs and aaahs regarding base design were heard.

Our drop on Pamba (after holding off a squad or so of VS for half an hour) to resecure against a platoon of VS in the CC went well: they left the CC unguarded by all piling on the door my squadies were coming through. Of course... there's more than one way into a AMP CC. TR will remember our attempt at Bomazi (Bullseye hacking their ant), some VS might remember us being just a bit too late to take over a drained Gunuku.

Particularly when we were playing with PS2 newbees against TRx, we naturally experienced a lot of problems, most couldn't even kill one of them or keep them down (most of them were Agile Gausses and Pwnishers vs rexo-medkit MCGs/advanced medics - really need to explain good load outs to my buddies and newbees!).

TRx even survived when I started to lob plasma nades to weaken them significantly. Their teameffort and crossfires were very effective, to great frustration of some on NC side. ;p Only 1 vs 1 with Sweeper I got to kill a couple (or at least get them down to 30 health) So it seems TRx still has what it takes.

Saw HippoDT and Hunter26 among others were doing quite decently at holding their own as well.


So, how did you fair on your first days back?
