What is it about

Basically, both teams are an army trying to destroy eachother, both about company strenght. Your team has to go about mining resources to get equipment, ammo and vehicles, then moving that expensive gear to the front, and then using it in a combination of WWII urban combat and WWI chokepointy trench war.

It's really solid fun.

Knowing you're alone hurts like a bitch. That I know, despite the questionable advantage of having years worth of conditioning and a mental issue to limit it.

But if there's something for me to add, it's this:

You can go out of your way and change who you are. There are methods. There are paths to take in that direction. They are all terrible, painful and difficult, and spit out someone else in the end.

Or you can stop, look around and try to understand why are things going the way they are. Whether you really think you've done wrong by being introverted. If being in the group, with all these shallow relationships, is a really that much of a win. If the way you see that single emotion is the same way others do it in... You needn't change if you're comfortable with yourself. More often than not, those who do are losing more than they are gaining.

Also, fuck half the participants in this thread, you trigger me.

yeah, it was fun. I even saw Pigeonbee, once. I was just a miner, mining the scrap stuff and loading it into trucks.

Pigeon was on the other side when I played, leading a push with an LMG squad. Wiped them once, but went to sleep before I could do it again.

So it's like what TF2 was supposed to be.

Incomparably better.

Is fucking great. Pigeon was fucking right. Again.

I just spent three hours straight playing THE MOTHERFUCKING LOGISTICS DIVISION. I WAS MOVING AMMO ALL THE TIME. EVERYONE LOVED ME FOR IT.

Then the clan that was leading our side gave me a mortar and an escort, we proceeded to win our side loads of territory, and ended on a stalemate when the fighting reached a chokepoint.

If anyone wants to sit down and play this, it's running around the clock and has spots most of the time. It's got some weird controls you need to get used to, but the community around it is great, we needn't worry about timezones, it's free and it's simple. The sense of unity you get from the teams is incredible.

I can't photograph for shit though.

We should run for the hills.

Vote on this overnight and I'll write the favoured one over the weekend.

- "You do look pretty battered."
"First words told to me by a friendly face in six months. I'll never forgive you for this."
"How did you even manage to step on a random-ass mine, on a field trip, no less?"

- "First Warsuit Company? You're the first person asking about that unit in fifteen years. Classified... save for a few names."

- "Whichever twisted god let their abilities flow through emotions... Pack up, send in clean teams, and set Aegis on high alert. We have a class three psi out of control."

- "...How are you still awake? You haven't slept in days. And do you ever let go of that rifle?"
"Someone has to stay alert. Get moving, now."

- It's quite the irony, actually. The troopers down there are the real soldiers, while we sit up here, perfectly safe, and decide who lives and who dies. I've never even seen an orbital strike with my own eyes, but I make the call to start one about thirty times a day.

- They teach you that Teph are telepaths in kindergarten. They explain to you how does memory sharing work and how neural systems interact in high school. Some places even teach you how to prevent a teph from doing anything of the kind.

Few explain why the Teph themselves never touch anyone unless necessary.

- There's a myth about the Legion of the Damned among the Guard. Terrifying monstrosities that appear out of nowhere to save isolated guard regiments. The Inquisition keeps anything about them in check. But the guard... the guard remembers its saviors.
