Wednesday practice

[[AK]Sonic Boom]

Now that the holidays are over, are we going to resume Wednesdays?

[[AK]Bribo]

I would assume so. Beast?

[[AK]The Beast]

I'm planning on it. It's possible that we'll do a "pub night" for practice this week, as I'm still in cleanup-unpack-and-recovery mode from the holidays and Gunny is away, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to do a new map this week.

[[AK]Bribo]

Since our AK server is now a DC server will we be doing DC?

[[AK]The Beast]

That depends on what you all want to do. We're not beholden to any ladders yet, but I for one would like to see us take a step in that direction. I'm not in love with the classic BF1942 maps--we've been down that road before, and while it was fun, the classic ladders are a dead end--no one is putting any Secret Weapons on their ladder, so I don't really see them going anywhere. Desert Combat ladders require 10 players instead of 8, but with the numbers we typically get, I don't see that as a problem at all. Basically--whichever direction the team decides is fine with me as long as we're shooting one another and having fun on a regular basis.

What does everyone else think about going forward in the new year as a DC-oriented team?

Personally, I prefer DC. That mod has come a LONG way.

[[AK]Faxman]

I love DC. (See you on our server tonight!)

[[AK]Abaddon]

If I can't have Secret Weapons, I'll play DC. But the crashing to desktop bit is getting real old, real fast - and it's a widespread problem. The DC developers need to fix it soon, or I will stop playing.

[[AK]Kidd]

I think both are pretty cool, but D.C. is much faster paced. Either way, I just wanna play and have a good time.

[[AK]Bribo]

I'd prefer DC but I would play standard BF1942 if that's what the team decides to do.

[[AK]Faxman]

If BF: Vietnam is the desired end road, then we should practice DC...what with all the choppers and such.

[[AK]Kidd]

Faxman is right, the choppers are the key to modern warfare. We must master the choppers.

It's a good idea in theory but, from what I've read, the BF:Vietnam physics models will be completely new, particularly for the choppers.

BTW, the chopper models in DC really, really suck.

[[AK]Bribo]

I don't think the models are that bad but the controls leave something to be desired. I hope these are drastically improved in BF:V.
