Excalibur Squadron OOC Thread

[United Kingdom of Poland]

While we are talking about COH. I just remebered my first game with my friend. the other side learned 3 valuable lessons.
1. just becuase a guy is new doesn't mean that he is fresh meat.
2. If your advance isn't meeting any resistance, your walking right into an enemy ambush. I put 2 infantry squads on the opposite side of the bridge I was defending, on my side was 4 more squads, a couple of tanks, and an 88. oh and I put 3 rows of sandbags and mines on it.
3. if you cant cross said bridge, dont wait on the oppposite side where the other guy can just pick your armor off one tank at a time like these idiots did.

I versed my friend, who was completely new, and was pleasantly surprised when he started to give me a run for my money. However, I still wiped him out.

I am thinking of Brother in Arms Road to Hill 30. I just got that game two months ago. Love how you have to strategize, and can't just blindly attack. Also another game I thought was Medal of Honor series games..

I liked the BiA series too, it's got a great story and the basic gameplay is great, it's just...kind of a slog. I mean, it never gets much harder or changes as the game goes on.

I only play Hell's Highway. And Medal of Honor's first games were the best ever. Granted that the new ones aren't bad, but they weren't as good as way back when.

Did you hear about MoH getting takin out of EAs product line up....

Fucking battlefield....I want bad company 2 back......

Good thing too, as the new ones were pretty underwhelming.

Apparently, DICE have no interest in making more Bad Companies, sadly enough - I really liked Bad Company 2.

[The balkens]

I loved BFBC 2.
And I loved the panama canal map...I played PC and it got epic when you hold the factory on the Russian side. Enemy tanks coming from the front, infantry using the warehouses for cover....
Shit got so real....

[Monfrox]

EA and Dice are really starting to drop the ball now.

[The balkens]

They dropped the ball when they did that whole "player owned servers" bullshit.
AND overpriced DLCs......
ARMA 2 IMMA COMIN HOME!!

[Calizorinstan]

I loved BF 1942... especially the Pacific Maps.. Until the company stopped supporting it on my computer (have an intel Mac Pro and MBP.).. Sigh... I got BF2 for 9 bucks off of Amazon and been playing that.. Still miss the WWII feel!

[Monfrox]

Playing Heroes of the Pacific.

Wingman: So you're the one who's supposed to escort me to the airfield? Just don't get us spotted.

Me: And how exactly do I do that?

Wingman: I don't know....fly casual!

Alix's dossier - very much unfinished, but at least presentable.
IC post will likely come tomorrow, as my entire Internet is shitting itself out and dying right now, and it's taken roughly half an hour from hitting 'post' (the first time) on this thing to it actually working.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES:

[u] 
- Notes on enlistment status - it goes without saying that the enlistment of a woman into an active combat role in 
wartime is essentially without precedent in HM's armed forces. However, after the events of Operation GUILLOTINE, 
it was the considered opinion of the Squadron Leader of No.319 Squadron,[/color] as well as Air Marshal Newall, that F/LT. 
NOBLE's skills would be nearly invaluable to No.319 Squadron's future operations, which would require combat flight 
and ground training[/color] as a result of that posting. As such, F/LT. NOBLE's combat status is not meant to serve as any 
sort of precedent. 

- Notes on promotion record - F/LT. NOBLE's oddly accelerated record of rank advancement in the Territorials and
WAAF, upon investigation, seems due in great part to her pre-existing flight training. It also seems, reviewing 
testimonials from her colleagues and superiors from both organizations, that her competence and devotion to
her duties was nothing short of stellar, which, in such a relatively inactive and backwater organization (and 
coupled with lackluster number s of active members of said organization), made a formidable impression on 
many, leading to her appointment as one of Air Marshal Newall's chief aides. This auspicious appointment, 
in addition to her key role onplanning the operations of No.319 Squadron[/color], was responsible for her extraordinary 
rise in rank over the period of only a year or so.

but I liked MOH:warfighter, mostly because I could play as someone other then US/Russia.

Going through Crimson Skies theme music for a match for Excalibur.

Heres one; http://youtu.be/tKRZIo_3XLw

Actually tempted to do like a TV show intro for Excalibur featuring all the pilots.

[Morrdh]

I'll post a list instead;

The Big Bad Blimp:- http://youtu.be/Au5y-A8Z99s

Fortune Hunters...Aloft!:- http://youtu.be/ev7-a2rIMfY

March of the Fortune Hunters:- http://youtu.be/LBu4QObWXC4

Devastator at Work and Play:- http://youtu.be/VUx9z7pTKBc

Vendetta Suite:- http://youtu.be/tKRZIo_3XLw

[Monfrox]

We have this

Or this

Or even this

[Calizorinstan]

An intro for all the pilot's would be cool.... I think Pat's theme would be Honor from the Pacific Tv series..

Totally forgot about Secret Weapons Over Normandy.

Though has anyone played Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII?

I hear the first one was bad, but from what I can tell this one is a bit better.

Blazing Angels was, in my opinion, absolutely terrible.

BA has the advantage, at least for me, of being couched in an absolutely unfair amount of nostalgia, seeing as how it was my first PS3 game that I unwrapped right after unwrapping the PS3 itself on Christmas morning 2006.
It's a good game, but not exactly world-shattering.
BA 2 is pretty much incontestably better.

I like it because The jets are not really overpowered if you use them.

In fairness, I've never played 2. I couldn't face it.

I'm not really a massive fan of arcade style flight sims, although I do enjoy HAWX.
