lol. HOW can you drown in a 1st person shootem up. part from being hamma and having peeps mercifully remind you of it so much you just cant take it any moreand well u get the picture.

[Zanzibar]

They say drowning is not painful...
Let's put it to the expert...

[Hamma]

It gets kind of old and played out tho when u bring it up in every thread.

[Sputty]

That's what you say. We all enjoy it still.

[Hamma]

When i start locking threads for going off topic with that stupid event it will get old to you all too.

In all fairness, Hamma encountered a beta bug that forced his craft to land resulting in the unfortunete "accident" we've all had fun ribbing him about. Hamma is actually an excellent pilot and I'd have him cover my tail from the air anytime, anywhere.

(There. I defended you Hamma. Can I have my admin status back now? )

Just for amusment value, lets see if we can't bring this thread back on topic, shall we?


I don't think a single, massive column would work in PS. Every base will take you at least 15 minutes to take, plus travel time, plus however long it takes to crush any resistance you encounter.

In that time, enemy troops could easily drop-pod in behind you and retake any bases.

I think such a column might always control 2 or 3 bases, but everything else behind them would be reclaimed.


And that's if you could actually organize such a thing. I think large, multi-outfit actions may well break the 100-man mark, but it won't be all that common. More than 3 full platoons will still be an impressive sight. Or a terrifying one, depending on whose side you're on.

For the sake of argument... how much damage do you think a tank would take from ramming a column of people. Could it successfully plow over like 30 people before blowing up?

I see this being a game with more vietnam style tactics, with smaller parties going in quietyl, and the occasional large conflict at a base, so a mix of the gulf war tactics and vietnam tactics. Oh yeah, and drowning DOES hurt, trust me, I died once, they smacked me back to life though, so its all good.

[Sputty]

Columns probably wou never take a single base. APCs would drop off a sqyuad to take each base as the rest of the army moves on to the enxt base. This would continue until the tank would stop the attack, dissapate and defend waiting for the ineveitable counter attack. When the prepared infantry cn handle any attack because they've fortified their positions.

[Ouroboros]

I'd guess that the tank driver would become blinded by the splattering blood and loose his hearing from the bodies hitting the hull. He would then blindly scream, "Merciful God almighty!" as he swerves around, eventually beaching himself in a body of water and drowning.

But that's just my guess.

[Ouroboros]

Of course, the column COULD just rape the tank.
