I just had the most amazing fight on Miller.

We (NC) were Pushing back a TR advance on northern Indar, and got to Quartz Ridge camp after taking a few mostly undefended bases. At Quartz Ridge we hit a brick wall of TR defenders and the attack quickly falters. What we do have however, is several outfits coordinating, so we fall back to Camp Connery, a tower just north of Quartz Ridge camp while 252 (NC outfit on Miller) head around to attack Quartz Ridge from the north.

What follows is the most epic fight I've been in in PS2. An absolutely massive swarm of mostly TR infantry stream out from Quartz Ridge, attacking our retreating forces across the desert. We set up defences around the Camp Connery tower as best we can and the fight is joined. It was crazy, TR infantry everywhere, advancing on one flank, getting pushed back at another, back and forth. After a while we were getting overrun, and gave up the B and C points outside of the tower itself. We kept fighting, but ultimately we were losing the tower to the TR. Then, just as the control flips, CONZ (the largest NC outfit on Miller) show up with an absolutely astounding amount of Reavers and Liberators. We gather our forces and proceed to retake Camp Connery and once again head for Quartz Ridge. This time it was a massacre, with 252 attacking from the south and us attacking from the north, we quickly took Quartz Ridge and proceeded to stomp all over the TR and warpgate them. When I left, the TR were decimated, having only 15% population on the continent, probably mostly at The Crown, since almost no one was pushing out of the Warpgate.

I'm a bit sad that I never took any screenshots, I guess I was a bit occupied with shooting everything that moved and was red.

Friday Night Ops this week followed Consortium (CONZ), the outfit I roll with, on Miller. It was an excellent night. Managed to get 120 of us online (couldn't fit us all inside the render distance).

You needn't worry too much as it was being streamed and will be put up tomorrow in the FNO twitch account.

Just had a great Ops night with my outfit on Mattherson Amerish. A coalition of VS outfits held our native Tech Plant against a massive push by the TE and a number of other TR outfits, as well as a zerg of randoms, in a running battle that lasted for a solid 90 minutes realtime before they took their ball and went home. There were several times where we had lost just about everything and managed to push out from spawn and retake the point and gens. Feelsgoodman.

Thats my main problem with TE really. There's been plenty of times as a TR where we've been stuck in in a nice, good open field fight, with push and shove between both sides, in a really nice battle, then all of a sudden the skies darken and TE just comes and flattens our opposition with nothing but sheer weight of numbers, ruining the one good fight of the night. Speaking of which, is BuzzCut every NOT online? I saw his name on the PSU tracker and it says hes logged 36 days of playtime. I cant even fathom how much playtime that is.

SoP for TE seems to consist of attacking with equal numbers, running when they get spanked, and coming back with two platoons.  ::)

Spanked by TAS and GOON. Two outfits that operate with tactics rather than numbers. Altough we do some of that on a smaller scale sometimes too :P

Just had a good fight against the VS between Indar Comm Array and Seabed Post on Matherson. Went back and forth a few times with infantry charges before it all settled.

Just had the most awesome moment in PS2 so far. Jump into my TR char for a bit, get invited to a squad and head for Allatum which is all but won. When I get there someone is using the proximity chat to play music, slightly wierd. Then, as the facility flips Men at work and their Down Under starts playing. Cue a big party of sorts in the spawn room, people jumping, spazzing out and shooting. Then as the songs winds down we roll out, I've heard the music play one more team near Crossroads Watchtower before my internet flipping out because there was just so much shit going on.

Still, awesome moment is awesome :D

The only music I got was from some guy named CommunistRussian or something like that, playing Russian WWII style orchestra music.  Crackling on low-scale internet and mediocre quality mic.  I reported him.

The very occasional bit of music can be a lot of fun. Not too common.

Like Ride of the Valkries during a particularly large air battle.

I really wish there was a cert for vehicles that gave them loudspeakers, atleast for a time, that were heard by all factions in the vicinity. Suddenly, playing every vehicle just to annoy/intimidate/incapacitate the other side would be my main way of entertainment in this game.

Imagine a libby blasting the Jaws theme as it circles a base, or the aforementioned Ride of the Valykries. Heck, Erasures Always would be an awesome addition to any Vanu attack.

Another especially fun would be Jogi blasting as a battlebus approaches a battle :D
