S111094

this is a great example of why saying "come out with us new person.. we will look after you and you will get some good loot" to someone in the lobby is a really bad idea :cyclops:

If you like.....

watching a Famous apache sitting on its roof not once but twice during a scout

seeing Nines horrific creations reduce it to breach or single figure armour on all sides

watching the attempts of the heroic Goldfish to save said apache resulting in his car being shot to bits

watching him then bravely get out of the car and start taking potshots at a Black Stone with a rifle



then this is the one for you! it was a very close thing with most cars reaching breach before we won (I say 'we' but to be honest I had very little to do with it!).

all credit to the people on this scout (except me) it was a cracking effort. And at least the second bit was true with Goldfish looting the intact Stone and recieving a substantial bonus.

S114707 The Green Manalishi - Forever yellow skies

A van and Pho on their way from BL to GW (Dunno what I was thinking there). Didn't think Id get away. Ambushed and surrounded I head for the hills to try confuse them and hopefully lose them. Didn't get to far before they start shootin. 22 points of armor on the side of a van?! Seems about 10. Can see why they rate this armor soft. 4 Hits from a scorpion breached the armor. Couldn't see a thing on that map, (great challenge). Nowhere seamingly to go. Got away and got my load back to GW.... 2 gats (just to save a couple of bucks) a heavy flamethrower and 2 of my favorite gangers.... lol

(A bit of action at the start 5 - 32 when the van decides to shed some armor to make itself lighter, to the passengers dismay; and the van gets nearly verticle at around turn 50 - 60. Had to take it down a cliff to escape, I wanted to follow the spine of the ridge down into the canyon but it got a bit hairy and I didn't want to fall to the other side)

Maybe not much for you vets, but I was squigin my pants. Guns or low cr?... I woulda liked ta have the gats that were in the back of the van, shootin,.... at somethin,.. anythin!! See what happens when ya take away the g's?! Ya runnin "thin". :p

Deathrace, NPC crew is about to win... but he didn't :)

Look at about turn 100.

Probably weak one for vets, but was a lot of fun for me :)

S114729 if it's still up. The only thing that' sworth watching about this is the tactics used by the NPCs. They actually use a Windsor to block the bridge, then keep two of their cars in waiting, doing nothing, until I actually cross the brdige before moving in for the kill. I lost my fuel truck (with a small payload) but fortunately all my race cars got through the blockade. :)

S115336 - Inter-city Scout pursuit in Once upon a town. My cars get up to 155mph while a pursuing mantis gains doing 180mph. He begins firing when in range and continues to accelerate towards my lead car and ends up passing it doing 200mph. He keeps accelerating for a few more turns and achieves 218mph! About that time he slides off the road and hits a berm SIDEWAYS and launches himself 150m! See the flying car for yourself!

Amazing encounter:

Our first scout out of Elmsfield. Just me and my buddy Joe. He brought an Apache and I brought a Symphony and a Pickup. To avoid returns we only went 5 miles, despite it being riskier.
We get lucky, opposition is only four cars. We get a bit shot up, but all goes well. We head back to town with one loot car each.

But of course we get a return encounter. Bummer!

And not just any return, but 5 Phoenixes (=fast). Darn. And the gate (=escape zone, only available when you fight just outside a town) is really far away.

So we start driving like mad to get the hell out of Dodge (or Phoenix, as it was).

The first Phoenix catches up to us about halfway to the gate.
First Joe's loot car gets hit in the engine. It dies soon after.
Then my loot car.
Then my Pickup.

We're now rather close to the gate, Joe's ahead of me.
The lead Phoenix starts hitting my right side with a HMG. Hitting it hard. I lose all armor there.
To reduce exposure of my right side, I turn somewhat away from the beeline towards the gate. This lures the lead Phoenix to go after me, but going that fast over sanddunes without offroad tyres is HARD. The Phoenix loses control.

Meanwhile, Phoenix #2 has reached Joe's Apache, just as he reaches the gate. It turns towards me as he escapes.

I try to run past him, but he rams me head-on just 15 meters outside the gate. My gunner gets knocked out. I'd like to drive the last 15 meters to escape with the car, but now two enemies have their sight trained on it.

So my driver jumps out of the car and sprints for two turns, and with bullets literally hitting the ground around her feet she makes it to the gate.

Two of the four crewmembers that were left behind eventually limp back to town. They both need quite long hospital stays. The other two aren't heard from again.

This game is too cool.
If you want to watch the whole thing, it's event S116521.

S116993

Probably a prototype scout (of the new sort) if there was one. The SUVs tanking. The speedsters hit and running. The sedans in the middle. Peds ducking behind cars and shooting at weaksides. And the rentals getting blown up. Frankly, it was about as far from the usual firing line and string 'em out as you could get. While we did string them out, it was more along the lines of a running battle. This was probably the first time when I really felt like it was car combat and definitely the first time it felt like two smaller cars were acting as wingmen for each other.

Clearly people don't play this track enough for the AI to learn how to drive it 'cause... well... I'm the only person to complete a lap much less the entire race.

Jump to turn 17 if you don't want to watch me get all tangled up in my own legs trying to turn and fight and then change my mind.

You can watch the CGLs blast my top armor and then the pirates chew up my lorry and turtle my buzzer.

But if you want to see something glorious:

Jump to turn 29 and watch a lorry scattering pickups and sedans like a giant scatters toddlers. This is what trucking in Firelight is all about.

S121083 Old School Perverts and Sentinels of Steel

I brought 1 he brought 2, was a 4v3 engagement that went beautifully for the most part.

I managed to cause a great distraction to break them up while SoS started a small fireing line with his 2 SuV's. Had a few problems with hillsides blocking as the enemy rolled across the hills, and I think SoS may have splashed a couple rockets against himself, but overall was 1 of the best scouts I have been on to date.

4l Bullet race on the SS Figure Eight...

Watch as I single handedly get most of the field out of the race when I try to pass thru on lap 2. Only a few get taken out on lap 2, but lap 3 is much more fun to see meet the pack.

S 122049 {staying on the move} :rolleyes:

- I run for about 60 and pick em off 1 by 1. (glitch at 40, unfortunately makes things look a little funny and another one later , at turn 88, makes it look like my sunrise is shooting way in front of target.  :mad: ...  B)

2 shots to the roof could have ended it for the apache early, maybe about turn 70? but symph was nice enough to bank right and let me open him up.  BUD-BUD-BUD BUD-BUD-BUD :mad: (hehe, not mad, just like he grin)

55- (up to battle speed! lol, kinda slow down there actually) terrain is important, I'm not quite quick enough in the apache... change that soon, but little hills are really fun if you keep your speed up.

__________________________________________________

:cyclops: If you have not seen my previous Post - S121878 - watched it a few times  :p

- AMBUSH!! Fiianlly an HR hits! and what a good time.

suggest following scarz early till we retreat.

- I'm late coming round into possition and his landrunner gets pummeled on the hill  :( Not again.... don't mention the fact you have rockets on board! ;)

- then switch to apache as it covers, retreats and turns down hill. Hopefully suckin some dudes my way.

-  over to sidewinder in support; back to 'pache on symph; back to scarz, and a nice KA-BOOM  B) .. theres action. What more do you need to know

Move around and watch the show. Despite the fact I leave scarz a bit, sorry dude, was trying to move around heaps and was a bit late every where, we get out ok!! and real fun running around, using the hills to keep up speed. lol don't be late gettin' over the crest.

A generic scout outside Elmsfield.  So generic I don't remember the number, but I did get to launch Mr. Fusion IV...
