People still play this game?

I remember when TXsnowman and I were a two man tank crew in BF3.

It was 300M. And if I remember correctly contrabanjoe was drunk and meant to set 30m but added an extra zero, we stepped in. Was an easy 300m.

PBBHz's battle Vs PRO for 500mil ISK.



(Back when it was a lot because there was no such thing as PC farming, or Corp tax)

Huh. The story I heard was CBJ was laundering money corp to corp through corp battles (was one of his 50/50 payouts I believe) and PFBHz snagged a heavy transfer.

That is correct. He was attempting a transfer between his main and his alt corp. Dumb drunk Canadian.

The only thing i remembered was livestreaming Jenza's pants...

Wut?

*300mil, remember when that was such a big deal and everyone on dust was talking about it, but now that's chump change even to my personal wallet :(.

I remember when pc battles weren't decided on who spammed uplinks the best.

I remember when we could only play 4 days a week--Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday--then the servers would shut down for 3 days and everybody would be here on the forums jonesing for a chance to play, begging CCP to open them up early, which they did on occasion.

I also remember the very beginning of the imperfects and their split from Betamax. Jenza tried to lolspin it as only a "name change" and an attempt to avoid Sony's copyrights or trademarks regarding their video player. I was in Zion at the time and Shad ordered us to keep it hush hush and to not comment on it..lol

....and I remember playing on Plateaus and ONLY Plateaus!

that wasnt me, that was someone from imperfects, Noc if i remember correctly.

Sorry to break your heart Ydubbs, but uplink spam was always how it worked :(.
In the first days it was all about having a Gallante or Mimi logi runner and beating everyone to the spot, throwing a link down in the safest closest area to the point of conflict and finding the other team(Who almost invariably did the same thing, except with a scout)'s uplink, then the scout, then the point. One of the runners would break off and hack the point.... on some maps if you didn't get the point at the start you never would. Clean up the mess and you had a 2 minute head start. The majority of our early PC victories came exactly like this.

After we would go to a supply depot and switch to suits with as many different kinds of nanos, triage nanos, and uplinks as possible and place them EVERYWHERE. Usually there was enough time to get the vast majority of them out before the enemy could make another push at it. At that point it was time to switch to a speed suit and get ready to play whack a mole with the enemy uplinks. This was exactly how we played almost every match until the vehicle call in speed change made loading up a drop ship faster than sending runners.

Typically we would also put a few guys in a drop ship and send it to the best available area of high ground as well, with the goal of denying that area to the opposition. Loaded with links, a forger and sometimes a swarm( so that no drop ships could reclaim that area).

Point being, uplink spam and countering uplink spam was our primary goal from nearly the start of PC. Doc DDD, Zatara, and (slightly later) Zdubz, all did a fantastic job of laying them down and we won a TON of matches just based on that tactic alone(with a lot of help from our shooter buddies!)

Flaylocks really cemented the whole thing in the end... made every fight into a stupid gib fest. Gotta respawn somewhere!
