I'm theorizing its a good thing the NC population is hurting right now. Whoever's left just has to play better and be more organized.

Also, you'll have to give it a few weeks on Emerald, since the TR and VS are doing their "this is payback for all the times you killed/zerged/JH'd me!" thing on against NC. Just doesn't seem like either two are concerned about each other right now, but I could be wrong.

You'd be correct, we're getting our asses plowed because the TR and VS are sick of us pwning them with the Jackhammer. We don't zerg either, maybe other factions on Emerald but NC use a lot of tactics, you'd be surprised. -firm nod.-

Btw I was actually quite serious.

Nice speech but lead still kills you smurfs, GO Terrans!

Ahh, the IRON Brigade... it's always been interesting facing off against your forces, whatever the continent. If there's one thing I can remember well from those battles, it's that your outfit does an excellent job at sticking together as a team.

A few weeks ago on Ishundar, I remember setting down my Galaxy atop a hill north of Lahar for some much-needed repairs. With CommanderDeath covering my back, I began patching up the Gal when all of a sudden my health dropped to 10. As I ran around the side of my Gal, I saw three IRON Brigade soldiers sporting Jackhammers and doing a number to my ride. Though we ended up shooting two of them with the mounted weapons and running over the third, the event stands out in my mind in terms of sheer determination. As we came back for another flyby, it turns out that you guys had an AMS parked on the slope of the hill no more then 20 meters from where we were. It's outfits like yours that makes the game interesting in terms of organized combat, rather then mindless Zergs.

Many among the TR will agree that the lasher has drastically changed the battlefield, being the ultimate spam weapon in that the direct hit and splash will do a number against infantry, MAXs, and even vehicles. We've seen our ranks drop ever so slightly, but like you we're ready for the new challenges that await us. The Vanu are now much more aggressive with both increased numbers and a beefed-up weapon, but we will still beat them back to their warp gates. The stronger, dedicated veterans will be back those who change sides more often then I change my oil.

Live long NC? No, I don't think I can support that... down with the VS? You're singing my tune...

There's a reason why our Brigade motto is "Those Who Stood Like IRON ".

Which outfit are you with? I look forward to seeing you squad on the field - thus far, and this is in no way a slander on the Vanu, the TR has given us the heartiest battles from sheer stubbornness to give up a tower or base. As a Mosq pilot, the thing I dread the most is hearing your AA MAX start firing as I sweep over a tower where it's taken roof guard... typically, it's a *BLAM BLAM BLAM* "You have lost control of your vehicle." "WTF?!" *boom* kinda experience.

If your TR boys feel like a hearty chat, feel free to drop by our board and shout a heya. We dig enemy relations - it's always better to get a feeling that the enemy you seek has an identity. RoT stands out for us in this regard, but I'm more than happy to add to that hitlist.

Peace.

-T.

I'm in AA Alliance... the "IRON" in your names tends to standout whenever I bump into you guys, so it's easy to remember. Now that I've had more time to think about it, I don't think I've run into one of your outfit members without seeing another IRON member close behind. And the more I think about it, I don't think I've ever bumped into one of you guys without a JH or Phoenix. You tend to be a good source of empire-specific weapons for us to steal :-)

And yeah, I know all about that TR stubbornness... we take turns being the devil's advocate and pointing out that we're hopelessly outnumbered or the only Terran forces on the continent, but the rest of us just slap that command uplink out of his hands and tell him to pick up a gun. How one of us manages to get out onto the roof with an uplink when there's 7 Reavers, who knows...

I'd have to also comment on the IRON outfit. They alwasy see mto be where the most help is need. I'm in the outfit Liberty and Guns. We tend to try and avoid the Zerg and defend or attack places that would be least expected. We alwaays end up attracting more attention from teh enemy or having their Zerg fall upon our laps, but the IRON Brigade seems to show up at least 50% of the time with at least a squad to help out. I'm glad that we're not the only ones not following the Zerg.

PS.Oh and we seem to be hte only outfit taht does ANT runs in Zerg situations, so call upon us if you need one, we've had our share of practice.

CrazyCrazy · 2003-07-29, 07:55 PM

ummmmm, "loyalty"???

Dude, I hate to to tell you, but its just a game. I have consistently played three different chars in three differerent empire's, oon three diferent servers, specifically because I like to try out new toys. In fact Planetside IS a toy. sheesh.

Katanaboy · 2003-07-29, 10:43 PM

I really didnt see much of problem before the lasher update, when the jackhamemr was the strongest.

Now i wonder why you didnt see a problem?

At least the NC isnt creating 50 billion threads complaining about how powerful the lasher is. I seem to rmeember a certain trillion threads aboiut the jackhammer.

And despite the trillion threads, the lasher is getting the nerf, not the jackhammer. Happy?
