PM from enemy for the first time

[aiwest420]

nah, keep enemy tells in, it does have a few useful purposes.

1) telling them "nice shot" etc
2) messing around with their minds.
on my vs infil char, i do this sort of thing quit a bit, i once told a tr to get inside an ANT so a cloaker wouldnt steal it, then proceeded to blow him up .
3) organizing fights at off-peak hours (think 3am)
4)weapon trading

lots more uses.........

I love getting tells from enemies. They're usually just compliments or jokes, trying to mess with me.

I once had a TR cloaker who was stalking me and she kept sending me tells trying to convince me to work with her small team that was trying to take this base that I was defending. That was a lot of fun because it was just me and these 3 TR and for some reason I was getting the best of them. When ever she would see me, she'd let me know and then I had to try and guess where she was. I set up a lot motion sensors to help me keep track of where they were and had the best time dropping off balconies down on top of them or hiding around corners in ambush. It was jsut like a big game of hide and go seek with some good natured razzing between us.

i love getting tells from nmes after killing them, its been a while since i got one, that i was happy with, last few times it was them being assholes, so i just say F you and ignore them, but when they say something like "you suck!" i reply with a TY, because it just means im playing my game well

The majority of the /t's ive received have been good ones. Once i was chatting with someone for about 10 minutes before even noticing they were an enemy! Xenetic, i think. Ive always tried to say hi whenever i see him, which i do often, actually.

One of the 'bad' /tell's ive got was when i was being chased around a base by an anti-infantry VS MAX. I only had a Cycler with limited AP ammo, so whenever i saw him i ran. (obviously) Everytime i did he would do the 'Is that the best you can do?' voice macro. Well, knowing what type of weapons i had i always said 'Yes'.

One time, i had to run to the other side of the base before i felt safe enough to stop. (half was swarming with VS) Since i didnt get my 'Yes' macro off, i sent him a /t Yes. He then replied with 'thats all u pussy tr do whimp' and squelched me.

Too bad i didnt get me 'Let me grab a decimator and get back to you about that' off before he did.

I haven't gotten too many tells from enemies.

But..

I send tells all the time to enemies, usually when I have to work hard to kill them, or sometimes when they get me good.

Yesterday I got into a discussion with a cloaker who stole a reever, and I saw it when hopping back into my reever after rearming. I chased him down and he ejected before I was able to blow up his reever. Well he cloaked and I thought at first I had killed him (he ejected about 1.5 sec before his reever exploded due to my 20 mike mike). I did one pass with darklighter on just above the ground and saw him hiding by a rock. Shot 4 rockets at him killing him.

We ended up chatting for about 5 minutes while I finished waiting for a base cap. Think his name was adam420 or something like that.

Anyway, in the right hands, telling to an enemy can be a good thing that makes it fun. In the wrong hands it can be annoying.

Responding to the first post, Personanly I think /Tells between empires can be very good, sure you get the idiots, but every game, school, workplace has them!

Personaly I've experienced alot of good tells from enemys, be it me giving praise for a kill, or a funny moment we both shared, to a good dog fight!

Of course any tell you recive be it from an idiot or a level headed enemy means one thing! you did something to make them spend the time to msg you, in my books this means you did something good!

People send me hate tells all the time. Most of them are from infiltrators that accuse me of cheating :\ The other bunch I get is when some shithead runs out in front of my vehicles and I kill them. I usually just replay "Do you actually think I am going to stop for you when you run in front of my vehicle? what kind of crack are you smoking anyways"

Bottom line is, when people run in front of my vehicles I kill them and dont give it another thought

[Madcow]

I send tells a lot. Most often are the ones to people who got a nice kill on me, or to people who get a string of kills on me. I had one sniper the other night who killed me probably 3 times in a 5 minute span, and every kill was completely odd and different. The first time a bug had spawned me inside an AMS instead of the spawn tube, and the AMS had gotten blown up right afterwards without killing me. So I'm invisible inside the blown up husk of the AMS and I'm chatting with my squad mates about it. Out of nowhere I'm sniped and dead.
Next, I make my way to the top of a hill and am waiting for a few NC who are making their way up. I probably haven't moved in 30 seconds. He snipes me and kills me.
Last, I find a sniper and lay a boomer at his feet. As I'm backing off I drop dead. The spinning camera shows me the exact same sniper who shot me in the back from point blank range.
I finally sent him a tell asking if I was flashing on his HUD, he laughed.

I'll also send tells to people right before I boomer them if they've stayed stationary too long. I think it's fun to let somebody know they're going to blow up, and then blow them up.

I agree with ^^^ them, pms between empires is good fun!
i love it when an enemy that i dont know pms me.

we cuss eachother out then he /ignores me and we stalk eachother. just a game.... and i think its fun.

It's actually fun being able to send tells to other empires. Granted, about half the private messages you'll ever get will be people telling you have no skill for using <your empires choice weapon/vehicles>, some people out there will actually commend you for killing them or pulling something off.

To an even greater extend, you begin to form relationships with outher outfits out there. Knowing your enemy is both inciteful and fun, because it creates friendly competition if handled right. There's some people in my outfit that are on such good terms with other empires that we've been able to meet at a certain location and perform weapons exchanges. For instance, we once gave a VS guy some Strikers and ammo to hook us up with ammo for a couple of Magriders we managed to jack earlier that day. On that same note, you can organize your outfits to battle at a certain base to get away from those damn Zergs that are so common these days.

It's really no different then other FPS titles where you get to talk with your enemy while you're dead. That's why I find it so stupid that PS restricts you from sending messages while you're respawning... especially when you can already be on voice chat with your teammates. Most people find that an ideal time to catch up on chat messages, and makes that 30 seconds pass faster.

If I get killed and it's obviously a skilled and/or lucky person, I usually send 'em a compliment. It's cuz of that that now I have both TR and VS pals (endless supplies of Mags and Prowlers )

[kidriot]

it's dissapointing that everyone cannot read /local.

i think sony should further enhance the comm abilities between enemy empires. like, give us a "shit talk" channel.

talking shit to eachother is one of the biggest attractions to fps' for me.

[Cyskoraeban]

Dude... you couldn't come up with anything to say back to him? tell him to stfu nOOb, youre the one who died (or at least SOMETHING like that) sheesh... weak...

[Lonehunter]

Cyskoraeban, I like the line at the bottom of your sig.
