I think I was chatting about this with INCyr in messenger, but with a map like Containment, you definitely wanna re-group in small bunches of three or four upon re-spawn, before you head back over.

I cannot TELL you the # of times I've heard Jinx yell, "GUYS! I have KILLED 15 spartans in the last 7.6 seconds!!! I am ALL ALONE here, and I barely have TIME to FLEX my MUSCLES inbetween kills because I am WAITING for you to come here and STEAL the FLAG!! OMG OMG!!" and meanwhile, I am running and running alone across the snowy tundra, yelling back at him, "My spartan legs are too slow hahahahahahahaha omg omg that tank nearly killed me heeeee, I took that guy's rockets after killing him with a needler I am on my way Jinx don't get mad hahahahahaaha! Wheeee, oh crap, someone's on turr-----"

And then I have to run again, because everyone goes off all willy-nilly as soon as they reappear on the map. We should definitely have a gather spot out front, and listen for weapon calls: "who's got rockets? who's got sniper?" -- that's actually been a lot better lately. Even so far as to say, "We've got -their- rockets, as well as ours!" Useful! Esp. when we try to dominate with Sheila!

Tra la.

Hey. I miss waters. And Nova. And a buncha other people.

Yep, communication is the key, that and sharing. Had a great time with Uber on my team the other night. I got Sheila on offense, he took her on defense ... we were both happy That and some great people watching my back to make sure Jinxie couldn't jack me out (tricksie little jinxie ... hiding in the ravine ... just waiting for me to passs by with my preciousssss).

I'll see if I can set up the "as many vehicles coming as often as possible for fast running spartans on big maps" variant to help offset the "I have to run again" problem.

I believe I have a "big map ctf" game already set up on the xbox, and I'm certainly down with doing some games tomorrow, since I have it off.

I don't think you can make vehicles respawn faster, just weapons. Also, I think on my game ghosts are on. Not because I care that they're stragically important, I just like ghosts.

There is a Vehicle Respawn Time option. I know it can be set to No Respawn and I thought it could also be set to 1/2 Normal. We'll have to check.

no, other way around, halftime means it takes half the usual respawn time.

There is no 2x time setting.

Last night, Izequo brought me into a custom game where all the pistols shot plasma grenades, and overcharging your plasma pistol would generate a new Scorpion tank. The frame rate started to drop when there were too many tanks on the field.

[krystyn]

The idea of it is still making me giggle.

/me owes Ubercado a few, too
