you forgot to tell them about the game before when i ran the hostages out the wrong exit zone :idiot2:   thought that was too easy.

Oooo! Oooo! Feel free to toss me a challenge. I'm Eanerus. I'm also a great way to pad your stats, as my horrific W-L record will attest to.

Just got 'em.  Yeah, I have the Red DLC.  Never tried the shield guy before, though.  This should be interesting.   :)

Challenge on the way!

Challenge sent AB.

Here's a video from a match just finished with Yskonyn:



And one from a year ago with Huw:



I don't think you need to worry about being the worst AB....  :buck2:

All you guys have proven far more of a challenge to me than the general FS player.  I usually have very little problem with random matches, but you guys are making me sweat blood in every match!  8)

Damn guys! Save for one match (I think against you Barth) where one of my machine guys got lucky, you guys are absolutely slaughtering me!  :smitten:

I still have some trouble with the odd order that doesn't work the way I intended, like a dude walking backwards after having shot, right into the next enemy where he was supposed to aim in that direction... :P But we're learning as we go.
I have also found that you can drag orders to make them go active 'along the route' instead of 'at a waypoint', which helps.

There is a surprising amount of depth to the orders system.  I never tried what you wrote above...but now I have too!  :)  I've also been using the "check" feature  lately.  It is a nice feature where you can tell your vatform to briefly turn in a direction, such as checking his rear, or just looking in a room on the way past, without adjusting his aim.  Mode 7 really did a good job with this game.

Yeah same here.  I'm feeling like every match is very close and could go either way.  I'm enjoying this. :)

By the way, sorry I can't be online as much as you guys.

A perfect game, Barth!  Nicely done.  Everything went wrong for me!  LOL!  :))

Yeah, the second kill was cheesy as there was a tiny gap between two rooms.

Next game should be interesting too...

I don't think I've played as much FS since I bought the game as I have in the last few days. Thanks all for rekindling my enjoyment of the game.
