With Ridge War I usually get a Hind hovering above the Soviet base to see incoming rushes before they start attacking and it has worked well so far. On KOTG, if you're standing by near the construction yard service depot you can listen to the sound of the coil charging to anticipate where they are. The only issues I have with that map is when arties get on the hill behind the CY and start bombing the coil/radar dome. If you don't have a team working together then it always feels like you're the one that has to leave the base to deal with them, while there's no one else in the base.

That's awesome. I hope to see it in a map one day.

It didn't, really, as most of us never lost anything expensive. The only ones who drained their money were the two engineers, but we donated here and there. I just thought the ore trucks were worth mentioning. Our defence was pretty solid, we even had a sniper in a valuable position telling us when to expect rushes, what type of rushes, and where they would most likely be coming from. Regarding everything else, I'm no base layout/map design expert so I really can't comment. However you could've tried getting a spy into the power plant to disable our power before attacking the coil. That's one thing I told my team to expect but as far as I know was never was attempted. You could've had a Tanya + engineer use a chinook to attack the power plant while the longbows attacked the refinery. Maybe tried having Totd get out of the cannon and into the artillery to bomb the base of the coil to harass engineers and technicians while the tanks attacked the coil? I don't know if any of that would've worked but it would have been something different. The only rushes the Allies attempted were chinook, longbows, or tanks with the cannon shooting our base.

Man, it feels good when a team can communicate and work together and win a round.

Definitely the highlight of the video for me.

In-game if you type !help you'll find a list of commands and !tagme is one of them, but if you try to use it you get the following error: "[APB] You are not allowed to use this command." Please make it so we can tag ourselves. If we can pick our name and create a setjoin, we should be able to tag ourselves. Plus, this would mean we wouldn't have to hassle mods in-game for this.

Fair enough. I'm sure most won't mind its removal when they notice their FPS jump up back to normal, myself included.

Haha, yes, that I know, but what is it actually supposed to do? What's its purpose?

It's pretty hard not to take a screenshot when the AI techies from the ore truck are grouped at the base. They're so adorable!

I really enjoyed that video, Choppy. And I'm glad I recognised my kills in there, especially when forg called me a 'hacker' for V2'ing his FACE! I like the thumbnail too!

So we can keep a ridiculous and overpowered unit just because it's "strategic" and fun? Pass. I believe Pushwall has done the right thing, the game has been more enjoyable when playing the Allies now because our defenses and sometimes buildings aren't being wiped by a squad of grenadiers that are impossible to locate unless you already know the good spots to use the unit from.

Gameplay wise, sure. Yeah I only recently entered the house. I like how big and underground it is. Does the image of Kane mean those orange brother guys are loyal to Nod?

If I participated in a successful rush only to be swapped to the other team when I died, I would just leave for that round anyway.

Out of all the images of Kane, you use one from Tiberium Wars/Kane's Wrath. *shivers* Time for me to replace this with an image of Kane from RA1.

I tend to only "rage quit" when I just feel that I'm doing very badly and I know I won't be coming back to the game for a while. I won't leave a round just to return for the next one, because what's the point? I'd rather earn more points, hopefully get some kills, and reduce my next-rank round requirement by one. While I'm sure that happens so people can easily boost their KDR stat, I bet they and others would just as well do it to increase their points to gain rank faster. I don't see how removing the KDR stat will fix this issue. I think most of those who rage quit do it because they don't want to deal with their team getting absolutely crushed. They don't feel like spawning where the enemies might be and instantly dying. They don't feel like trying to defend against an enemy attack when they have a less experienced team. Etc. etc. Thus they leave and return for the next round. Not only that, but how do we know someone has rage quit unless they state they'e doing so? If they die and leave they could just feel that they're not doing so good and will have a go later on. I think trying to punish them is wrong because it's their mind set to leave when losing that badly and implementing punishments will not change that, in fact it would most likely just push them away from the game. I mean, if them rage quitting is a habit then why would they want to return for the next round with no starting credits or negative score (yes, I know this wasn't your suggestion)? The only thing I would support is if that you're not in the game when the round ends then any points you accumulated do not count. However I'm not sure if this is possible for this game and yes, it would suck for those who crash and cannot rejoin in time but I would assume it's rare to crash right before the round ends.

I took a look around in there but didn't see anything, maybe I didn't look hard enough. Thanks for the information, ChopBam and Raap.

When I open a .dds file and change the texture, how am I suppose to save it? I remember from a long time ago that you're meant to save it a certain way but I don't remember how exactly. Who can provide or link to information about skinning and Renegade? Thanks.

Speaking of the APC, I love it's new horn. Nothing beats being chased down by forg while he blasts an air horn.

I was having a lot of fun and enjoying myself playing APB earlier, and when I took a break I opened up Facebook and saw the news. I was, still am, in complete shock. My thoughts are with all those who are affected by this. If you like you can see video footage, link below, at the area and the moments this happen, but the actual blast isn't captured. https://www.rt.com/viral/389312-manchester-arena-blast-videos/

Poor catting, he blows up the flame tower only to rob an empty silo.

Yeah, when it's him as Kov in a barracks killing catting, I call that 'boosting' haha.
