Time to get those engineer unlocks, and learn how to fight with a pilum.

i've got the unlocks. but i also choose to go assult on the new verdun map. it's about tickets. reviving is about saving tickets when the dumbasses who, as you pointed out, stand out in the open waiting for artillery to take them out. i guess it really depends on the squad, but most of the time, i seem to be the only medic in the bunch. it's foolish to not have at least 1 medic in your squad on a ticket map.

revives don't get the tickets back.

That's incorrect.. You don't lose the ticket until you go from "You are critically wounded" to "You have been killed". So if someone revives you, you don't gain a new ticket, but you don't lose the one that you wound have lost if he'd died.

Which is why reviving isn't a waste of time. Keep 2 or 3 medics in a normal infantry map, and your squad is suddenly taking 4 tickets for each one they lose. Or more.

but big, I've done most of that stuff, and I still suck.

I played Verdun for the first time last night as a part of the "Big'n'Co Armored Delivery Service" and I have to say, it did take some skill coordinating everything.

Then, we didn't have a commander, so I stepped up and sucked it up for a while, but that's another story.

I enjoyed the convoy action, I can't deny it. Though I'm not skilled at it, I can still be of some use.

I just wish squads could be larger so you could provide Close Air support to a squad, without halving the size of the convoy.

As a side note, I think I'm trademarking that as a brand:


"Big 'n' Co. Armored Delivery Service. Collateral damage is just a perk."

Do they still wear socks in 2142 I love sticky bombs.............

Unless the PAC get a lot more speeders. We know that a speeder vs a goliath is nothing. But if you have say five speeders vs a goliath the TV missles should (if the team worked together) bring the goliath to it's knees quickly.

But since I really don't see four or five speeders fully loaded do this. I was thinking maybe the PAC has it's own forum of goliath.

The biggest thing about armor that i still don't see people doin on verdun is target awareness. When your with a buddy pounding on tanks coming at you, theres more to it then both of you focusing on one guy. Threat awareness is key to armor maps. On the fly evaluation of who's the bigger threat is just as key in armor fights as it is in infantry. Do you shoot the sniper at the ground at your feet or the guy 10 ft away that has his voss trained on you? :4

A new tank map will be awesome. Something different in general will be nice. The days of user made maps seems to be fleeting. I had over 500 maps in my quake 1 directory =(
