Hey general sir you should have caught that........i know your busy making your guys do all the work but jeez how could you miss that?

Ah, sometimes I have to throw them a bone, if I keep leading perfect games no one will play against us!  Ha, yeah right, I just plain messed that one up! 

Now for a subject change off my incompetence...  I felt the need to point out one of the unsung heroes in this game.  Ger really made one heck of a difference in the last mission.  At one point I couldn't get nearly anyone except my team and the regulars who are hardcore players across the creek in the vicinity of the tank.  I knew we had to take that bridge because 90% of the players won't cross the water without it.  As much as I would like to say the 10% of us could overrun a fortified position with quality players defending it, I don't believe that.  Anyway, back to Ger, I snuck across the stream alone at one point and popped up and hosed 3 or so guys before getting lit up like a Christmas tree.  On my way back I saw Ger, all alone, feet from the bridge, in the water sneaking up on people.  I think I heard him say he got something like 5 kills there but had he not done that, I don't think we could have taken the bridge with enough time to drop the flag.  These players were in position to stop just about any assault we could have mounted no matter how many idiots, uh, I mean super brave TR members I got to run across in to heavy fire.  Good job!

Great game all!!

THe game, format. the battles...........A pure 1st Strike adventure for me.......First I would like to thank Bio for a fantastic time I had with a 15 minute + fire fight I had in the 3rd stage with  4-5 of your team members just east of the down plane in the high grass. I don't think you new you were in a fire fight with a 1st Strike member. I was moving back and forth on the creek line.I did take a hit when I came back from re-spawn, you guys where still there taking shots at some noobs that where frozen up on the hill like little [ you fill in the word]. So I advanced down the road toward the creek into grass and took out what I thought was a Bio member.......... Nope.... A player that I meet earlier that was instramental in Cobra takink the flag in the 2nd set. Sorry Gordon. The 2nd Phase was crazy beginning for Cobra.We where given the oppertunity to put spies into play. Hanny thought we needed players for that role that would not be noticeable as team players. As the Horn sounded TGE only had 3 spies ready. Definitley not enough against such a formiable foe. A player   at that time had a idea ( sorry can't remember the name,  but you where with gordon and Todd). Take my Guillie suite!...... So off I went, 40 minutes later, the back way from heavy  equipment bridge to the green trailer to Marine HQ, into the city without fireing a shot. As I approuched the flak tower, Joe was taking on heavy fire across the road . 2 Joe's guarding the Flak  tower both took hits and what I now Call the BOX  was unguarded. I took my position and set up my defense for Joe to protect th flag. another 30 minutes later another spy showed up. Gordon and the 2 of us did a fantastic job keeeping the flag safe for JOE. All the while in radio contact with TGE and Hanny keeping track of time and keeping Joe busy. As 20 sec where left I went for the flag with gordon and my son Todd covering y back side. What a wonderful thing it was. Props to all that played the game .

After I saw you the first time down in the creek, I crawled up in right by the bridge & found one of our own (a gal wearing the Flectarn vest) laying 10' from the tank in the group of underbrush/trees right above the bridge.  She dropped out of that position back to the creek when I got up there.  Not sure where she went or what she was doing but maybe she was trying to get some of the guys near the back to grow a pair because she returned just a few minutes later & started yelling back towards the plane for guys to start moving up to our position.  We both eliminated a couple more players before I ran out of paint.  Made me chuckle a bit as I walked thru all the players in the back longballing - all that paint would've been way more effective from her position. So props to the "Flectarn Girl" for holding it down up on the frontline.

Had that same thought for a lot of times on the Cobra side of things as well. 

I think I'm going to start calling "longballing" "panzyballing".  Think how crazy fun games would get if everyone on a team was pushing instead of staying back like a girly men hoping to get lucky.

Thank you Chappy...I actually closed my eyes when it went off..wasnt expecting that loud of a bang..if you were or are in the future thinking of buying one of them or the grnades..they were worth it to me on that ...and also in the beginning at the trailer ..the JOE guys were yelling about people in the trailer and if anyone had a grenade..which I did(bought one of each)..I ran over and chucked it in the back window..for the guys inside ..How loud was it?? I know I was laughing hard as I ran away ..

Yeah, that got messy. I got out from a finger shot too. That hurt for days.

Alright BA.  I'll just shoot you in the back of the hand from 2 feet next practice and we will see how good it feels for you.  I'll even have TGE do it so you wont know when its coming.

MURDERBALL!!!!!!It is a grat way to find your limits as well as your teamates...

I believe that was April on the Joe side.  She was up front all day.  At one point during the first mission I noticed on my way back to respawn, She was up front.  I yelled at everyone on the way back that "the girl was ahead of them", it didn't help, they still hid, but awesome job by her!
