    I played an hour of UT2004 Onslaught this weekend and had a blast. I normally don't care for it much, but there was a map called AirMars or something to that affect.

    It was like something straight out of Flash Gordon.... You had capture points on different ships and platforms. Some were inside the ship and some were outside. There were 2 kinds of flying vehicles and gun turrets on the ships/platforms for defense. It was really, really cool.

    If we are looking for something different, this is deffinately a change of pace.

    For those of you not familiar with Onslaught, it is a push system using Power Cores. The object is to create a path to your opponents powercore. Once you have done that, you can start destroying their power core. All points along the path can be taken/destroyed by both sides as long as it is connected to the appropriate path. The key is the power core can not be healed in any way.

    So, Thursday Night, what about doing some Onslaught on this AirMars map?

    I like onslaught. What you played was the mothership level on an onslought map. There is one level on normal UT that has spaceships. It is weird. 😉

    Sounds good to me. Pretty sure I can make it this week.

    The thing about it was when the match was over, it would reload the same map with different power paths. We played at last 3 different matches. Very cool stuff....

    Lexx, would you be willing to run this?

    Yah, np. I'd need the mapname and a download link as I dont' understand exactly what your talking about. I gotta start taxes in a day or so, so don't know if I'll be around Thurs, probably, but not certain.

    Onslaught, by nature, does random paths every time you run it. I am sure there is a finite number of setups that can be played but it is a cool function. I always liked that.

    We have to get together and play as a team, maybe we can arrange a scrim, Lexx???

    Yah, some ons maps have certain settings where you can run it the same way always, or Toran where there are 3 setups you can mapvote on.

    Map is on and tested. I'd suggest someone starting it up early, then hope for pubbers to join. Last two weeks it was full everytime ONS was run...not many onslaught servers running apparently.

    I can't schedule a scrim unless I know for sure there will be players... Then again, Sat nites, we have a dozen plus playing Assault, CTF, and Invasion as part of our Sat nite fun/drunk nite.

    SeeYa!

    Got on as soon as I could. Spring break here and had to do some driving and working on taxes at the same time... sigh.

    I tried to follow to BF, but got 'older version' or some shit. Another patch??? . . . or just a mod or pack I dont' have? Anyways... tried :x

    Laters!

    Why were you not in TS with us Lexx???

    Anyway I want to apologize to anyone that was in TS last night. I was not trying to be a jerk. I am sorry if I came across that way. I simply was not feeling well, was very tired and was getting VERY frustrated with the game. I like UT but when it got to the point of no return and the game degraded into nothing but die, spawn in the only spot you can, run in the other room only to die again, over and over and over….just gets old real fast to me. It started out to be fun.

    At least in BF2 you can spawn far away and take a breather and defend a flag or go after one. If you do happen to spawn far away in UT onslaught you are stuck doing nothing at all and that is no fun either.
    I am not an adrenalin junkie I guess.

    Sorry if it sounded like I was lashing out Atomm. I honestly did not mean anything to be the way it probably sounded man. Just ignore me when if I do that again. Feel free to harass me any time you want man. 😉
