Anyone want to get an Assault Night?

The bitching would be cranked to 11 unfortunately otherwise I'd do it. "sweet guys, MTMU-ChaosBitches is brand new, lets try it!". chaos, ballx, subrosa, ion, castle, even warmachines... I pity anyone who has never at least heard of those.


I'll see if I can show up.

I accept your pity.

No, what it means is that you passed basic English.
Either that or someone has implemented a llama command for the forums.

If you spoke like that when I went to school, Sister Barbara would have smacked you in the head!

Thanks Carpe, I don't care what Pi and Analog say about you, you're alright.

So does this mean that I will not constantly be getting heat-shot while being verbally demeaned about my playing skills? Sounds like fun!

Ya, Term is mean.

Personally, I think that the whole 'I can't do Saturday night thing' is a fake out.
Terminator will be there to greet all of the new, but short lived, target drones.

Can someone remind me how the game of Assault is played? I guess you shoot players and blow things up, but what is the object of the game, strategy, etc.?

I believe that the strategy is to be the best bullet and lightning bolt backstop that you can be.
Also, I'll bring my 'special' AVRiL rounds. I may even be feeling digitally suicidal and be your tank gunner (I believe that there are stock vehicles, if memory serves).

Carpe, do you want to post something about the Assault night on HoC? I know Jackal and a few others used to play AS a lot.

Really Carpe? Between GlueEater "asking how do I post pic?" and Hardspike asking "what is Assault?" you should be putting this up more often.

For me Assault is not a sniper fest, although some maps can turn into it. Most of time if on offense, I'm doing suicide runs while attempting to do crazy dodge moves, to get objectives. Other times you can help get an objective by just being a distraction. If on defense I am hurling flack grenades or shock combos as the attacking waves. Sometimes you have an Ion gun that you have to get a team effort to people linking the thing to ward off the offense, then someone gets the weapons catch to spawn a levi or ion tank and all hell breaks loose. Like Onslaught there are different strategies to different maps. In general the attacking team usually takes heavy losses while trying to reach objectives, while the defending team scrambles to get into strategic positions to repel the attacking team. If you want to refresh yourself play AS-Convoy, AS-Glacier, or AS-Robot Factory in instant action.

I was going to post something up on HOC to give them a heads-up, unless Carpe already beat me to it.

can I play too?

Tropical/Destroyer, this isn't exclusive, you can play just like everyone else. You can even get onto the AS server now if you want.

For Tropical's benefit as well as anyone else fuzzy to getting onto the AS serer here is how you do it:

1. Click on Internet under Join game
2. Change your Game Type to Assault from the drop-down
3. The Omni AS server is only one of a few still active, look for it on the list and join.

Alternative you can join via IP which is: 208.79.234.80:8500

Destroyer?

There are a lot of omni AS maps on the AS server you should practice playing. It really is a change from ONS. So if you want to get ready all I can say is practice practice practice. Good Luck

For the sake of us all, who is willing to take a UV light and inspect the assault server before the 22nd?
