Played on the 360 on Sunday & thought it was pretty fun. A lot of chatter going on, so I couldn't really understand much. People were coordinating fairly well, regardless.

Yes some of the people on the list tend to be... outgoing tounge2.gif A possible solution would be to mute some of them, except the captains. From the air, it indeed looked like the GTs were working together pretty well.

 

 

Yeah it was alright I guess, But next time Leelee your coming with us  sly.gif

You know what im talking about  lol.gif

Yeah the thing with Leelee is, he has a bad connection. So he gets diconnected rather often and rejoining the game results in him ending up on the pilots team. We'll have to find a solution for that.

 

 

I prefer to play as ground forces, but I think the pilots could use a boost (Airstrikes?)...

Well, for one we should definitely stick with strictly PILOTS on the pilot team, not 2 pilots + some people who would like to "give it a try". You can give all your tries in freemode or something, not when we're fighting against a giant, organized ground force tounge2.gif (btw, not talking about you, Swooner!)

 

Also I think the pilots did pretty well. We only lost 1 match and that was the Pilot Hell, downtown Algonquin. I don't think anyone on the pilot team flies there very often, let alone with a ground force working together AND blips on FAR wink.gif If we do this more often, we'll get better and we'll learn to be a pain in the ass even there devil.gif

 

Also I might have a little ace in the hole... I've contacted someone who's considered a legend amongst Xbox pilots and he/she thought it was an interesting idea (no, it's not The Tonks!), he/she's just a little busy. I will reveal the identity of this mystery pro pilot once I get confirmation of participation.

 

Considering the whole thing: I've heard very positive reactions and I too had a great time! Thanks to everyone for participating!

Good to have you, Hawaii-5-0! Expect a friend request from PilotsMustDie soon icon14.gif

We played 3 matches: Algonquin, which was won by the ground troops, Airport, which was won by the pilots and Bohan, which was also won by the pilots.

Or, from another thread in multiplayer, can the gunships carry passengers who drop grenades or fire out of the heli windows?

 

Ups the ante a wee bit - more kills from the air, more kills when a chopper is shot down.

devil.gif

Can we try this out and the boat vs heli chase?

those who were around a couple weeks back remember my bashing of this game mode... well I gotta recant. before I posted this I had never been owned by a pilot. I have since seen some amazing pilots who will destroy anyone when out in the open.

 

AND THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED! haha

 

theres nothing sweeter than timing an RPG just right so the pilot flies right into it or headshotting someone going 100 mph. so I see what you guys are enjoying here.

 

I still don't have the patience for this though :-P

Thanks to Chris D for directions to the GT tactics and special thanks to DeeJay for the secret GT tactics I now believe that all pilots WILL die devil.gifbiggrin.gif or at least some of them tounge.gif

Yea...uh...views...thats it!

 

The OP is updated. Please let me know if I missed anyone on the Xbox side.

 

And thanks for the nifty tables, Booze! icon14.gif

 

NOTE TO PSN SIDE:

 

The last several weeks the matches have been a bit, well...boring. So this next weekend I would like to try the Chase Round again and definately do a Watercraft vs. Airship chase, suggested by MC_320.

 

Just want to mix it up a bit! icon14.gif

 

As long as nothing out of the ordinary happens, I will definately be there this wekend! I haven't shot down a Pilot in like 5 or 6 weeks (random pilots in FM don't count...lol)!

 

And here is a link to Googles World Clock...you can make it so it shows the actual time (no figuring) in most cities around the world and will show whenever you go to Google. Much better than having to figure it out every time! icon14.gif

Booze are you going to award the same achievements as the PS3 side have ?? If so I am one game away from the GHOST award ...pretty impresive for a player who NEVER crouches also expect the next match to be alot more organised from the ground troops me and leray have the first position confirmed with a 2nd back up position within running distance set up if the 1st one goes pear shape

I had more people ask me that question. At first I thought, well, everyone is new to this game mode, the pilots too, so it's easier to earn those medals now. So maybe not... But then again, there's always gonna be new players (hopefully), so it's not necessarily that much easier now. So my final verdict is: yes, medals can be earned already. I recorded the whole previous match and we'll probably be keeping track of the score outcomes to make sure that medals will be awarded to those that deserve them.

Sounds like the Xbox side may be here to stay! icon14.gif

 

@Nitty: Hey dude! If you guys come up with some good spots for different maps, any chance you could PM them to me (sshhh...the Pilots are listening...lol)? We, on the PSN side, are still trying to come up with better spots.

 

Thanks!

 

@liam: Yea dude! We have missed a lot of our regulars the last few weeks (especially on the Pilot side), plus it seems a lot of ppl are busy right now.

 

Anyway, welcome back!!! smile.gif

 

@MrJohn: Hope to see you in both this weekend! rolleyes.gif

 

...and has anyone talked to SJ lately? The matches just aren't the same without his running commentary...lmao

Chris check your PM's ph34r.gifph34r.gifph34r.gif

 

 

EDIT

............

 

@ ALL 360 GT's

 

If possible could you guys get onto live 30-45 mins before the start of the next AG war, just to go through positions and roles as the last game there were 1 or 2 people going all Rambo, and giving away our sniper positions and generally being slaughtered from above biggrin.gif

 

This is not a demand I just think if we are to suceed the more organised and drilled we are the better our chances, so if you can make it there we can make the pilots work a little bit harder for the kills and hopefully lure them into traps devil.gif .

Very cool, ND!

 

Will share it with our GTs! icon14.gif

 

And you are absolutely right! The more the GTs work together, the harder it becomes for the Pilots.

 

The PSN GTs have gotten a bit lax lately, mainly cuz we have been mainly playing with...well...less Elite pilots.

||--->When I say 'less than Elite', I just mean not as good as some of the past Pilots we have played with. No insult was intended. (Pilots still suck, though...lol)<---||

 

liam and lellep are back for this weekend again, so we better get our sh*t together again!

 

Anyone seen CHARGER or LIN93? They are our main protagonists and haven't been in a match for weeks... confused.gif

 

Maybe they just couldn't handle not getting 60 kills every 20 minute match... devil.gif

 

PSN MATCH TIMES:

 

Elite Match: Sat. July 18 - 2pm EST - 7pm GMT

 

Trial Match: Sun. July 19 - 2pm EST - 7pm GMT (the rest must figure it out on their own)

Everyone that's on the PilotsMustDie Friends List may already have seen it, but I'm happy to announce the date and time for the second official Xbox Air vs Ground match!

This event is to be held:

 

Sunday July 19, 7 PM GMT.

 

This converts to 8 pm London time, 2 pm EST, 3 pm US Eastern Time.

 

If you need to convert this time to your own you can use this site.

 

If you can't make it at this time and date, don't worry, there will be more matches.

 

In case there's more than 16 people available it will be as on the PS3 side: FIRST ONLINE, FIRST SERVED!

Not to beat a dead horse, but at 7pm GMT, it is 2pm where I live, which IS US Eastern Time.

 

EST = Eastern Standard Time

 

This sh*t confuses me to no end! cry.gif

We've been over this tounge.gif

 

EST is NOT US Eastern Time, just like GMT is NOT London Time. EST and GMT are constants, they are the same throughout the whole year, whereas US Eastern Time and London Time are variables, they get Daylight Saving Time applied to them.

 

Right now, Daylight Saving Time is in effect in US Eastern Time, so that makes it EST + 1, just like London Time is currently GMT + 1.

 

So 7 pm GMT is 2 pm EST, which is 3 pm Eastern Time.

 

So much confusion just so at the end of the day you can sit in the light a little longer...
