Chrome Hounds

[Brats]

Thanks for the games last night guys. Great teamwork and Silvergun, you are a masterful Commander .

This game has lived up to everything it promised to be and then some. I admit that I'm surprised that the servers went from being so bad to so good in such a short time, especially with the game being released in the US yesterday.

Will be on again tonight. Tarakia FTW!!!

i just got this yesterday, what do i need to do game wise to get online with everyone? ive started building a hound, its a bit heath robinson but i reckon it would do?

[Silvergun X]

You guys played wonderfully aswell. Nice going.

Time for work - I'll be hammering this from 6pm onwards.

[gibbon]

contemplating taking half a day to get back on... I must try out the Bastard cannon

I selected one of my default camo's when setting up the squad.. can everyone pick that? I reckon we should go for something a bit more distinctive though not quite as much as whoever had the lumo spray job last night .. maybe red, silver and black?

van, just get on.. I think we need a really nippy scout.. Im going to go sniper/defender I think..pretty much everyone was soldier ish. Did everyone else notice the new control cards you can buy can seriously upgrade your speed etc?

[gibbon]

Keep me a space

What happened?

What did your lass want to watch instead?
you missed out

[supersmithy]

Gonna buy this later, reading this thread makes me want to play it!

I'll see if i can work out how to join the clan thing!

Hey - at least you knew not to shoot the bright yellow Hound!

Have applied the squad camo now - red, white, black and black.

Tarakia FTW!!!

WE HAVE LOST OUR CAPITAL!!! (again)

Does anybody know how long the special part lotteries take? I'm pining for that NA Array. My baby needs it.

Just go back into the shop and it'll let you know if you've been successful (I've just won two parts two days running).
-------------------------------------

Why in one mission didn't we finish off the enemy HQ when it was almost gone? Do you have to destroy a particular one?

Only one of the enemy HQs is real. If it doesn't have the enemy flag on the side then it's a decoy.
-------------------------------------
I'll be on around 11:00am for an hour and then from late afternoon until we have RETAKEN THE LAND THAT IS OUR BIRTHRIGHT!!!

O Tarakia, Tarakia
We love your trees and rocks
Tarakia, Tarakia
We'll blow off the enemies socks

(Sung vaguely to the Blackadder tune)

[Brats]

WE HAVE LOST OUR CAPITAL!!! (again)

Those infidels will pay for their treachery! At 6pm the real war begins!

[gibbon]

so how does it work with who controls an area?.. we played the same map and won but what does that mean overall?

[Yoshimax]

Who's up for a late one tonight then ? I'm going out for a curry @ 7pm so should be online from 9:30 - last nights taster has left me hankering and I never got to make my mark in the war - right now my mech (HounDawg) is a bit of a HG type with nippy-ish mobility

I may do a Gib and aim for a half day - **** it in fact I'm gonna have a couple of days off next week.

[Yoshimax]

Setup a thread in online (can't believe nobody has done it yet) so we can discuss war tactics etc - leave this thread for the n00bs

If you go into the area details (hit x), then move the cursor over to an area, it will have 3-4 battlefields, hover over one and it will show how many occupation points each faction has for the area. I guess you need to max out the occupation points in all the battlefields to (re)take an area.

You get a small amount of occupation points when you win a battle.

[Team Andromeda]

Look forward tonight, tried joining last night but for somer reason most vanished when I got on . Should be on around the 7 mark tonight
Also really like the music score in this, very spooky underplayed like something out of R-Type Final .

My only fault is its hard to tell which are you Team Mates inthe heat of battle, and its hard to hear what people are saying (with the voice breaking up all the time)
