I think we have about 40 people in the Blu-Clan - although about only 20 are really active. We have about half who wanted to join, I add them, but never seem to join in our games.

We have people from Canada, the U.K. and Ireland, and of course, all over the U.S.

We try to arrange games and get togethers cause it's just more fun to play against each other in a fair fight with friendly rivalry's.

We were actually full with the 60? person limit not to long ago, but that was because about 14 people were sitting on invites that were sent out and never accepted them. Luckily, the new update allowed the Clan Leader to retract these. So, we now have about 20 seats open.

I would say there is a 50/50 chance that when I log in to play Warhawk (and I play fairly often), there will be another Blu-Clan member on. The only problem is my rank if often too high to join their servers.

Anyway, let me know if you can get some of your crew together, even for a small match.

Take it easy,

Another question on medals

I have about 600 deaths and my highest IAR death streak was 48 (don't ask). How come I don't have the supreme sacrifice medal?

You have to die like 6 times(I think) in a row without killing anyone.

You should have it.

http://www.warhawkstats.com/ You meet the requirements as far as I know. I won't ask about the 48 IAR death streak . . . that may be a record though, . . . . just sayin'. . .

[Idealsupra]

Im pretty sure you have do the IAR requirements AFTER you have the Global requirements met. So if your 48 death streak was BEFORE you reached 500 deaths then it wouldnt count.

I can only play on expert. Since I've yet to have one decent game upon coming back, I think I'm going to create a new account (I have the disc).

I'm not that good anymore anyway. So perhaps I need to be on the base camping team. Maybe I'll play that account a couple times now and then and hope for a decent game. Then I'll jump back on Copy and get hammered.

It's weird. I don't know why I'm on the worst team 99% of the time. Oh well.

And why do I keep coming back to Warhawk? Honestly, right now it's one of the better games and it keeps on going. Lego SW and stuff is fun for a bit, but then you're done.

I have been saying the same thing since I got back from my deployment. It is IMPOSSIBLE to always spawn to the bad team, yet I do. When I got back my win/loss ratio was just a bit on the win side, now - I seriously am hundreds over on the loss side. The odds of that happening is just amazing. Is it our high rank? Do they automatically put you on the losing team with the worse stats?!

I really am just floored by how often this happens. I've been saying it for a while now.

Sure, I end up on the dominating team sometimes also, but usually I spawn to team that has already lost all the Zones or is down on flag caps by three already. I've learned to just leave instead of trying to help comeback from the middle of a losing battle.

The last week, however, I have been getting into some "fair" matches.

I will usually end up being in the top 3 during such games for my team, but it's no consolation being the number one loser.

The only reason you'll see me in a plane is most likely because I'm getting to mines more quickly.

Not much I can do when I spawn I'm running and have three Warhawks right in my face with machine guns, TOW missles and cluster bombs. I've been on some maps where they're killing each other trying to get in front of each other to kill me! Just crazy.

I don't like when one team is just destroying the other team, even if I'm on the that team. For some reason though, almost every game I've been in lately - either one team or the other is just obliterating everything.

I'll be playing a game and maybe their team gets the first flag cap, and instead of playing the game, everybody either switches (figuring the other team will continue to win on this map and the others) or they leave the server) - before you know it; you have only 6 people on your team and the other team has captured all the bases and getting flag capture after flag capture.

I usually equip my knife (so I'm off the radar) and go out on foot through the hills to capture a zone. I usually capture a few before I get killed and the zones get taken back over. Not much you can do when 3 planes are all around you with machine guns and bombs and TOW missles.

And I still seem to have the incredibly bad luck of always being on the team with ZERO flyers. I played with AlphaPyro for a bit, he was on the team with flyers. We had none. There was no balance to the game. The odds of one team getting tons of flyers - or all the good players; should be small, yet it seems to happen in almost every game I'm in. Even when I'm on the winning team that is crushing I don't like it. I get bored.

I really think the 50 point system has encourage team switching to the point of damaging the game play. Think of a sports game - what would happen if people started switching during the middle of a game cause the other team was winning - AND the team didn't get replacement players. It is really taking the fun out of the game for me.

So, here I am, still playing though. I also created another user account (mostly so I might be able to play with people in the lower ranked servers since everyone seems to shut out the officer levels). I can't fly a Warhawk anyway so it's not like I would dominate the skies. However, I'm going to get my Commander rank first, then decide what to do with my sub-account.

The thing is, when the game is fair, it is just tons of fun. Can't be beat. A good game is a constant tug-o-war and at the end, even if no one scored everyone is mentally beat and say, "Good game, everybody.". . . . then the next game cues up and we're at it again - that's why I keep playing this silly game. It's just pure fun for me.

It happens because you are always put on the losing team when you join a game... That is because the losing team will always be short players because people quit when they are getting hammered.

Then the servers mix up the teams between rounds and that REALLY tilted things to one team DOMINATING every round. I cant remember the last game where there was a chance either team could win after 5 minutes.

Anyway, now I get stomped on or kick the hell out of the other team, it is never a good fight. White servers are the only thing worth a damn on Warhawk now, and dont do too well, because you will get kicked...

The novelty of the jetpack is the only reason I started playing again... the above problems are why I quit.

Actually, I just counted, we have about 54 members. But I'll probably be deleting about 10 who don't play too often anymore and/or never play with other Blu-Clan members anyway.

...

I thought there were games that were not restricted and allowed everyone to join. Those are the ones I usually play in.

FYI.. the sub account problem is no longer an issue for the D/L version. They "fixed" it with one of the latest FW updates. The disc still has the advantage of LAN play and no 24 hour restriction if you have multiple consoles. You may want to create a sub account as your main identity on the PSN anyway based on the following reason..

I use multiple accounts just so I don't expose the master account in day to day activities .. which will be increasingly important for security reasons .. as PC and other website integration increases with your PSN ID. So even if I get hijacked they won't have access to my PSN wallet and changing account information etc.

Yep. Had a great balanced game (ie. most of us sucked ) of Northern Bridge with jet packs the other day .. 2-2 and we literally scored the 3rd flag with a few seconds to go .. the guy was "bouncing" into our base to avoid lock ons and just made it. What a blast. Just can't beat it when it is back and forth like that.

I have a sub-account with Warhawk on the download version. Works just fine. I only used it once.

Some of the best games are when 30 minutes go by and NOBODY scores. Those are complete chaos and the flags are like soccer balls - just back and forth.

[MUCKK]

[stockstar1138]

sucks, i have to play on a SDTV this weekend, had a good round going, rocket launcher, saw an enemy, shot at him and some how killed our flag carrier. i really couldn't see anything on a 20 inch 480i TV from about 10 feet away.

You should have PM'd me - I just got off. (Pretty late for me.) I SWEAR, I spent the last 2 freakin' hours looking for a fair game! I either spawed to a team where all the Zones had already been taken, or the other team wasn't up 5 flag caps and I was on a team where half the players had already left.

AMAZING!!!!

[caliblue15]

yep thats how it was for me, so i just started picking up mines, and i got 31 kills in a game with them.. then 16, in 5 mins.. lol.. i would just go to their base set them up, and they would try to get into planes and BOOM.. LMFAO!!!

I love mines now...
