Battlezone 1

lol. Yeah, I thought that if I could've made that snipe, I could've turned all that around hehe.

I'll be sure to record you again in the future.

And hopefully get the whole footage.

Not really memorable, though I did want to film something



GG.

DID U SEE THAT

LOOKS LIKE HYPER DOES NOT CARE FOR THE LIFE OF HIS MEN



WE SACRIFICE WARMACHINES NOT YOUNG SOLDIERS IN THE LINE OF BATTLE

#1: GOLEM, I barely lost men in that battle.

#2: I remember I told you earlier that these soldiers were "manufactured"

Oh heeheheeO___o
manufanufactured OHEHEHEHEEHHE

4 players map Valkyrie, valak vs me, 4 lives each, HyperFighter watching.
He was mostly watching me, probably expecting to see me trashing val in 15 mins, but instead he saw very poor performance of mine...

My spawn was SW and it took a lot of (wasted) time to realize where val was. I knew he'll take down my recy first time he sees it, so I did my recons carefully and inefficiently. I knew the map very well cause I converted it from RO, and placed 600 scrap, 9 geysers and 4 spawns the way I felt it would be the most interesting. It was probably valak's first time on it so I had a little advantage...

After a while I realized valak moved from his NW spawn to NE, so to avoid E-W fights I moved SW. After deploying recy and factory I started moving towards him, recycling his (3) silos I encountered on the way.

At one point he approached me with few units, there was some shooting and soon I made my first big mistake. He was running back to his base in a red tank and I pursued him... I got him, but his tower (I didn't see at all) got me too. And not just that, I had few units following me (cons, howies....), I completely forgot about, so I lost them also.

Now, with a bit less crap in my "pockets" I built an outpost, somewhere in between him and me. From there I was launching my attacks on his base, but I wasn't making any progress, cause scrap was getting closer and closer to him.



At that point I noticed I've made my 2nd big mistake long ago... I wasn't able to build anymore silos, so the more scrap we were making, the more was that mistake getting noticeable. The game was very intense so there was no time for me to get rid off 1 "unneeded" silo, to be able to build needed one between my outpost and his base.

He lost 2 lives during those fights, but when you start with 4 that doesn't mean a thing. At one point I noticed he's down to only few units, so I launched a mass attack, which turned out to be a complete disaster, cause he kept building new units as they were getting destroyed and since the fight was around his recy and factory, you can imagine how that looked like.

My whole army got wiped out, while we both ended up in the air, and later on the mountains behind his base (yes, I got ejected in a completely wrong direction). I was 100m behind him and tried my luck with a sniper rifle, 3 clear shots, missed all. Now I had a long walk back to my base while he started destroying my outpost...

Somewhere around that time I noticed 2 bugs that occurred, val was experiencing MDM bug and I was experiencing that bug we haven't talked about a lot, cause it doesn't happen very often - I lost audio and visual notifications of my units being attacked. There was no "we are being attacked" message and there was no flashing screen on my 1-8 numbers. So I had to keep pressing those numbers to see what was being attacked. In most cases it was #3, my utilities. I would then see my scavs bar going down and no message until they are gone.

Anyways, he was taking my outpost piece by piece, while I had only my tank, 1 APC, 1 scav and no scrap in my silos, no scrap in my vicinity... I was escorting that scav around, fighting for every piece of scrap. I had to release APC soldiers few times to save my butt... Val got tired of that so he launched a mass attack with 5-6 scouts. I built 1 scout, just in case, and then the massacre happened. I managed to destroy all his units, and just about when I started smiling, how I'm scrap-rich again, it hit me. Yup, his snipe that is.

Now I respawned on the other side of the map and when I checked my "army" I had recy, armory and 3 scrap. Not enough for a scav... I quickly recycled armory and started jumping back, knowing he's there somewhere in my tank, which was low on hull/ammo.

When I got there I already had scav working and I saw no trace of val except his AI scout shooting my recy, or should I say bumping into it. I (again) missed 3 clear shots, while recy was building a scout for me. I think that scout of his ran out of ammo, but I turned it into scrap anyways. Soon I saw more red on radar, it was val in a yellow tank with 1 scout if I remember correctly. Dunno why, but I got rid of the scout first. Then I looked for val and saw him shooting my recy. I wasn't aware of it, until I saw it, due that audio/visual bug. When I pressed 5 my rec was yellow, just about to turn red. He was focused on the recy, completely ignoring me so I ejected him easily.

One more time I started celebrating too early. I then realized his sniper rifle is there somewhere and when I started looking for it I saw the bomb. Yep, daywrecker was right above me. Booooom, there goes my recy... One good thing came out of it, DW took his life.

So there I was, a pilot with 3 lives left, factory I made just before recy exploded and 1 scrap left... He was down to 1 life so I repaired my scout and rushed into his base, to catch him before he enters the walker. When I got there he was in a tank and had a scout as a wingman. I managed to snipe his AI but not him. I was back at my spawn...

I went to his base to try again, but I couldn't find him so I started sniping his scavs, waiting for him... He wasn't showing up, and Valkyire is a pretty big map... I noticed I still have a silo near my original base on SW so I entered one of the sniped scavs and started pressing "K" button. Hehe. When I was full, I took my factory and went back on 2 SW geysers. Soon I had 7 scrap, miner was made and I switched places with him.



There I was, mining the map while val was still no where to be seen... Soon, miner was empty so I ejected and went for other sniped scav. "K" button brought me another 6 scrap + 2 I had was enough for a grizzly. Then I saw 2 walkers around my silo, so I turned them into scrap. I made 1 more tank and a miner, but still no sign of val... He was probably afraid of a snipe so he kept pumping walkers...



I sensed he might be in the base where my recy got blown up, so I went there and saw 2 walkers and a recy. I started shooting recy, he made a scout. 1 walker was shooting pops so I knew he's in it. In the same time I got his recy, he got my tank.

I was ejected on the near mountain, I thought val is still in his walker so I started running back home. His scout was tracing me too good to be AI, so I figured he got in somehow. Running was not an option, cause I'm not Jens to be able to escape... I pulled my rifle and aimed... I saw nothing but the red flashes cause his miniguns were already hitting me. I pulled the trigger once and, while still having a red screen, not able to see clearly, I saw his scout passing me by, so I turned trying to snipe him again, but he was already sniped. Yay, I got him! Until the very end, val was playing better and deserved to win, but BZ strat is about little things and one should never give up. Great 2 hours, one of the best games I had in years.

The smile on my face was bigger then life! Thought i had ya! GG man and an accurate description. That one was a nail biter. Im kinda outta shape after three months off and not having a serious strat in a while. But that will go down as one of the most fun and challenging games i played since trying to fight creeping death or jon blund. Great shot btw, i was sure the scout minis had ya. That is what i meant by an old school game! No worry of rushing or unfair play. WEll PLAYED AND GG AGAIN, VALAK

You wouldn't believe all the good shots I got during that strat.

Spock's base:

One of Spock's Outposts:



Valak's Hidden Howies:



One of Spock's and Valak's deathduels:



When Spock's ship ejected in Val's base, you can barely see Spock's pilot running away from the battlefield.

<------- Look at the close short hill, you can see him.

You can barely see Spock's pilot in the distance running away from the battlefield, its a little black dot short hill hehe.

Here's when Valak first died:



This was when Spock lost his recy:



This was when Valak's recy died:



Here's the end, when valak died:



What a GG.

THIS VIDOE IS SELF EXPLANITORY

We got a new good stratter, Fly from Sweden. In fact he's an old player but he didn't play serious strat since 2003.

It was another silly Pac-Man match with Jens, who left the game alt-tabbing... Fly and I left alone and fought for more than a hour. I remember him and Tug being in the same clan so I thought he's a magger and underestimated him, but after losing 2 lives I started playing for real... I still wasn't able to break him...

Soon infamous mountain glitch happened, which appeared right in front of his base, when silo was made. After that my units were unable to go around it, without my guidance. I fought with my solo tank and few APC for quiet some time, but I was unable to collect tons of made scrap in front of that pillar, cause my scavs kept bumping into it. Every now and then few lucky ones got through, but that wasn't enough for a proper play.... He was full of understanding so we agreed on a draw.

Besides that glitch it was a tough and fun match with lot of good duels. Hoping for a replay real soon...

Excellent stratter Fly is, he gave me a GG as well, but that's for another story...

HyperFighter vs. Dieoonesyius 3 lives, Foothills

We were in the lobby, and Die was bragging on how he can pretty much own me. I call his bluff and challenge him on a 1on1 strat match and I would film it. After what seemed to be Die backing out, he accepts the challenge and makes the game. Jens comes in just for the chaos, but leaves b4 the game starts.

First 2 minutes were taken out due to YouTube's limit(10 min).

Here's the footage:



He then said "u suck" and left.
GG Die

Fun game with Spork just now... 2 lives, Canyon Madness Sync On:


First Few minutes were cut off for limit reasons:



Spork then said GG.

GG.

I had few clashes with HyperFighter on Mars... here's one of them...

Fun Game today: Sync Off Strategy, Canyon Madness: 2 lives.

It was a regular day in the lobby, when I decided to make a sync off strat game. Jens immediately joins, and soon Fly does as well. After initial gathering I fight head to head with Fly most of the game. With which time Jens goes straight for my recy. I had low hull and ammo, and my ship got blown. I had a pretty good defense but Jens took it out . Ultimately pissed I get into bomber and kill his pilot. He soon starts going around in a minelayer, but my rage charged him and soon him and his minelayer die from the rocket blast Jens leaves without a sound... and I focus on Fly. As usual, the stratter doesn't dissapoint(I lose one life to him). He manages to fight off my force and ejects my tank while my APCs cut down his scavs. He waits for my pilot to land so he can kill it. Though my sniper rifle saved me
Now I just need to get Fly's last life. In which time Jazz and Warchild join. I then make the attempt to snipe him again, since I don't have much a presence left. I send APCs to attack to draw Fly out of his base, I attack him with my tank(which he ejects). I narrowly escape his tank to get into an APC. I use that APC to launch pilots and I wait outside his base. He comes out and I manage to snipe his tank we say GG and fly leaves... Now I have to deal with 2 new players and Im no condition to hold them off. Jazz starts making scrap and gets an APC. I try to snipe his tank(half heartedly). Though I fail and his pilots kill me... GG.

Last few minutes of an All vs Hyper Stratking strat.
