Forging Frenzy

In my last post I mentioned that I was going to be making a map. Well, I finally decided that it is going to be two maps on Foundry and Ghost Town. I have an idea for the one on Foundry and have already started it a bit. All I've got placed on the map is a few double boxes and flag spawns and that. It originally started as a CTF map only, but if all goes well it may turn out to work with assault as well. I don't have any ideas for the Ghost Town map, but I want to finish the one on Foundry before I get started on it. The only real problem I am going to have trouble on both maps is going to be getting all the respawn, starting points and weapon placement to work out perfectly. Yeah and if you don't already know this, it isn't going to be an MLG based map. It's going to have rockets and a shotgun on there. Thing I don't understand, is why does MLG use a Mauler instead of a shotgun. Don't they serve the same purpose?


Well this weekend I played some Social Big Team with a friend of mine and did pretty good at points. We went on a little winning streak at one point also went on a loosing streak for a couple of games. I am going for 1,000 kills with the Warthog turret and as of right now I have 890. When I first started this past Thursday, I had 826, so I gained a few, but not enough to reach my goal. Which is okay, it will take a little bit and I did put a little dent in the number. I also reached 600 wheelmen medals also, though all I needed for it was one more. Right now though I have 650 and I aiming for 1,000, but it's going to take a little while since I really don't drive. I have been driving a little more lately in hopes of getting better. I'll let you know when I actually make some progress. I have noticed I have been getting a little better plus I learned something that I wasn't doing before, communicating with your gunner or other passengers. Yeah I know, something everyone knows and I just discovered it, well like I said, I don't drive. I'm the type that likes to shoot things and that.

A couple things I don't understand is why do people that send you game invites either don't wait for you to finish the current game you are in and the join or if you have a friend you want to bring along so you ask and they either say no he sucks(even though they haven't played with him to know) or don't say anything and continue playing and ignoring you. I mean come on if you really want to play with me you'll let me join no matter who I am currently playing with.

Now the other thing I don't understand is why do people spam grenades? All this weekend while playing Big Team and we were about to score or something, the other team would just start throwing grenades at us like it was the only thing in the game. You know, you have a gun for a reason. Besides, once you run out of grenades what are you going to use?

Finally here is a site for all the people who do the driving of the Warthog. You know who you are, the unsung heroes of the team that drive people to Running Riot's and Rampages and get no respect when you only have three of four kills. H3Wheelmen.com
So next time you see someone on your team that has few kills, check and see what they did in game and how many wheelman medals they had.
