Honestly, would any sane person go into combat with a weapon that fires 1 second after they pull the trigger?

See the flintlock musket.

Look at this guy, he gets a lot of kills by standing perfectly still and shooting, only because his opponents do the same thing!  I feel like any good mac player would be strafing and rolling and jumping circles around him.  I do envy the amount of online players that you get to face in a single match in PC play though.

Step 1:  Get the Insanity mod

Step 2:  Switch out the normal CIS side for the Ins one.

Step 3:  Get the biggest epic battle map you can find that has Republic vs CIS

Step 4:  Use the flying missile launcher droid that can shoot 50 missiles at a time in an endless stream to carpet bomb the feeble Republicans below.

Step 5:

Step 6:  PROFIT.

Who wrote "watch it please" on my post?  Cos I said "removed"?  lol.

I'll check out napseekers stuff, is that all just in the downloads section?

I'm gonna be in a place with no internet.  I need some huge, awesome maps that can occupy me in singleplayer.  I'm talkin maps with thousands of troops and tons of vehicles and vast plains and awesome guns.  Hook me up.


watch it please

Let us return to the hallowed ground of ancient dueling.  To a place stained with the blood of a thousand fallen warriors, scorched and charred by the blasters of the ages.  Where heroes may rise and fall.  

It is a mystical place, floating high above the arid desert, constructed in a forgotten time for one single purpose:  The duel.

I challenge any and all who will meet me in single combat upon the ancient battleground of Da1.  First to 15, no rules.  If the game ends before 15 kills, another round is played, keeping the previous scores until one person gets 15 kills.  Rebels vs. Empire, unless you insist otherwise.  Whoever gets to 8 kills first may choose to either keep their same side, or mandate a switch of sides.  Any suicides count as kills for the enemy.

The goddess Fortuna herself presides over battle.  Do you accept this ultimate test of manly skill?

Snipers are popular now because they are so effective and easy to use.  Back in the day, I almost felt like it was an unwritten rule that the true test of one's manly vigor was his tenacity in close combat with the great missile launcher.  I lament the emasculation of our ancient warrior culture, tim.

plus, all the kiddies now want to be like in the movies:  You know how it goes:  the sniper in the movie is always the dark, edgy one.  The badass.  The one who doesn't take from anyone.  The one with the troubled past, a patcheye and a fancy cigar, who is a ruthless killer but a loyal friend with a heart of gold who will eventually sacrifice himself in the end to save the main character.

This was an old poem I wrote back in the day, me and Starvation were just talking about it.  It's descriptive of the missile vs. missile fights that I remember as the hallmark of swbf.  I know that all you edgy kids like to snipe now, but this is how most fights used to be; they basically devolved into a circular dance with a lot of rolling and jumping to get the upper hand.

His face was grisly, gaunt and scarred,
Bedraggled, brave, the Rebel Vanguard.
Across the ice his keen ears did hear
The footsteps of a rocketeer.

He turned and saw, a'gleaming white,
A helmet icy, eyes black as night
The morning fog did becloud
An Imperial Trooper, pale and proud.

The Rebel gazed, and duly noted
The Imperial's launcher was skillfully toted
He saw the flash and heard the crack
The green shot whizzed, the Rebel fell back.

Then through the ice they did rush
The air went still, the wind did hush
A second rocket, like a fiery lance
Heralded the Missile Dance

For the thousandth time they did revive
The Missile Dance; with a jump and a dive
Like lions in the pale cold
They circled, leapt, and loosed barrages bold.

The combatants held each other savagely at bay
The Rebel grinned, his eyes turned fey
While the Imperial struggled harder
To win the cloudy way.

The battle raged, and both grew tired
The Imperial dodged, the Rebel fired
Then a discovery they both did make
The combat had moved over a frozen lake.

The Imperial hastened, fast and fleet
He let loose his assault at the Rebel's feet
The thick winter ice was burst asunder
The water splashed, and the Rebel slipped under.

The Imperial gazed through the ice and the snow
The Rebel's rockets
Were bobbing below.

what's up people i'm back
