CQC

[Raveen]

So after an E:D hiatus caused by the failure of my joystick (my dodgy soldering didn't hold and I think it may be fully dead now) I'm back thanks to eBay supplying me with a replacement FF2.

I've been playing CQC and it's lots of fun isn't it? Partly because people who haven't played Allegiance don't sidethrust admittedly...

Anyone up for some games at some point? I bet an RT team would be awesome at CTF or TD.

I also think that it would be possible to remake Allegiance in CQC if Frontier could be persuaded to, and wouldn't that be a thing?

[Adept]

Yeah, remaking Allegiance is one of my long (looooong) term goals

Hit me up any time for CQC. I'm rusty but decent for the time I've put in.

Oooh, I'd be up for this once I get back next year.

[Adept]

I've been enjoying this a lot. Wins to losses and kills/deaths both at 1.8 at the moment, lvl 21.

[Raveen]

If we can get 4 for a squad we could kick arse in team deathwatch or ctf

[Adept]

Works for me.

Elite Dangerous: Arena is now available for £5.

Also, I've been playing some CQC recently. It's especially fun if you have a coordinated squad to yell things like "THEY'RE ON MY SIX!" and "I CAN'T SHAKE THEM!" Anyone fancy joining me sometime?

[Raveen]

I'm on the PC most nights between 9 and 10:30 if that suits at all?

[id3nt1ty]

Yeah, I'm normally about at those times. I'll give you a shout if I'm on. I have a friend who bought Arena, so he might join us too.

[Raveen]

Cool.

[Adept]

Hit me up on Skype when we do this.

[id3nt1ty]

We tried last night, but all sorts of communications/baby issues prevented us from actually playing. Seems like the social aspect of Arena really isn't there.

Will do though, Adept.

[Raveen]

Adding to the issues were as soon as we got near a game my kids kicked off big style.

I'm not sure how to join a squad and then play as a squad in one of the games? Or how to ensure that mics are working (they don't work in FFA Deathmatch).

As with a lot of E:D it's good ideas and gameplay surrounded in poor to no explanation and an unintuitive UI. It's still simpler than setting up a cup in Blood Bowl mind you.

[id3nt1ty]

yes it is!

So, I played a few games with liferbadger last week. You can join a game as a squad, but there is no guarantee that you play on the same team. You just end up in the same matches.

We might have to resort to Mumble...
