jetpacks would be nice

Eliaas_Demens · 2003-07-30, 12:11 PM

Jetpacks would result in a ton of happy AA MAX players.

GammA · 2003-07-30, 12:14 PM

the word pwn had nothing to do with medal of honor, it was a term that had originated on battlenet on azeroth during the warcraft3 days at the end of the beta championships...

But with the jetbacks the vs maxs' jumping ability would become usless if they could just get a jetpack. It would be fun and if they gave the vs maxs a new ability then jetpacks would work. Yeah I hate running, that's why I have more then one vechcile to drive, so if one recks I got the other one. My reaver also cut down on time to get somewhere. I wouldn't leave home without it.

Eliaas_Demens · 2003-07-30, 12:16 PM

Indeed. The typo was so common that people found "pwn" more amusing than "own".

NCG JMan · 2003-07-30, 12:40 PM

I always wondered about that (own vs pwn) word. Thanks for for the info. I for one am very new to the 1337 5p34k world. I am curious how it originated. Did a bunch of programers come up with it or something? Just curious.....enlighten the newb

Oh and to get back on topic. The enhanced speed would be cool, but that would take away from surge, and people have transportation. Hmmm. I just suggest getting a vehicle....Basilsks or Mosquito's are nice for getting from place to place. Hey and they can do some damage along the way..not a lot but some

You guys didnt know that "pwned" jsut came from a typo of "owned"????? I mean, c'monm its right there in front of ya!

NCG JMan · 2003-07-30, 12:45 PM

Well, some of us are as perceptive as you 1024

I being a newb with this stuff, it didn't stand out to me. I did suspect it, but was not sure. Now stop derailing this guys post

....

*edit*

hehe..in hind sight I guess I am just as guilty by making this post.

00AgentDuck · 2003-07-30, 12:52 PM

Yeah basiliks can do some damage, mostly I only take out one-three guys when I ride it (hehe with my bumper) until my basilik stops runnign and I have to get out. I almost never use the guns on it because it's to hard to shoot acurratly and driver at the same time. The basilik is also fun because it can get some air so easily from ramping. Oh but never hit a max with it, I tried once and all it did was make my poor atv stop working and I had to get out and shoot the max with my cycler, didn't help to much and I died, but at least I tried.

The way I see it, pwned is not a misspelled owned, it is a misspelled pawned, as in, to make some one your pawn. That is the way I always saw it, that is the way I always will see it.

Ha ha nice story unfortunately you're wrong

Mmm not quite

"pwn" has been around longer than Warcraft 3 Beta and sure as hell longer than MoH. Try back in the day when the internet was basically just bulliten boards

*edit*

Yes walking faster would be good. Jetpacks though...hmmm. Temping but this isn't tribes. Don't gt me wrong that's the one thing I miss the most about Tribes is the mobility but it just doesn't seem like it'd fit into PS /shrug

dscytherulez · 2003-07-30, 01:51 PM

I GAURANTEE IT WAS FROM MOHAA!!! Now, i dont disagree that it was seen before mohaa, or even warcraft for that matter. Im sure it was in fact...BUT im saying ppl actually started using when a clan for MOHAA used it all the time as a replacement for the word "owned" (I'm pretty sure the reason was, was because they mispelled it on theyre server display name and didnt wanna look like idiots so they just pretended it was some new kewl thing ppl were saying.) From there on out everyone started 2 use it...which duz get annoying at time because of the OVERUSING(reminds me of the lasher...lol). But there...that is when it was actually used...ON PURPOSE...*duz the ace ventura thing* DO...YA...LIKE....THAT...HUH!?! YEAH!
