A Few Thoughts

I played in my first pickup ever. What an experience... Yes, i got owned or whatever the term u want to use. The first thing i noticed, was the overall speed of the o... Wow..the next thing i noticed was how quickly the o was able to take down an sg. Pretty impressive. Other thing i notice was that most of the people were pretty cool. To the guys that stayed with me even tho i wasnt the most skilled..Thanks a million, i had a blast. I definitely would do it again if allowed. I would tell anybody to come play if they think they want to improve their skills. There is a definite difference between pubbing and pickups, but you wouldnt know it until you actually get in there. One bad thing i would have to say, is that some person tried to get me banned cuz i didnt know how to bhop or wasnt as skilled. This is unfortunate, in the sense that if you want to bring players into the game, you probably shouldnt act this way as it creates the notion that you are an elitest with an attitude problem. It is also a possibility that such behavior could lead to a smaller player base. With that said, i would say that other than the person that tried to ruin my pickup experience, i would say that i had alot of fun and i learned alot..prolly spec a few, gain some tips on concing and bhop, etc..once again, thanks to all who played yesterday.. Cujo you're a class act man..peace..myersjr

It was by suprise..i didnt know who was gonna be in there..but, like i said, i learned they're hella fast..pretty impressive to say the least..much to learn..you figure most of these guys, you dont see them too much on pubs. The most ive seen of them is on the forums..so when you see them in action..thats something..

I believe the map was dropdown. he was concing in ways i never imagined. If i remember it right he conced all the way from one battle ment to the other, then, conc'd into the flag chamber and right back up the way he came in. That was an awesome conc. I almost fell out of my chair..LOL I wanted to ask him how he did it, but i had to leave. Plus, he was right in the middle of the pickup and i didnt want to interrrupt him. Anywho..great times..

hahah awesome! yeah man i can relate to ya, although it's been a looong ass time. I'll tell ya this, as time goes on and you start making those same moves yourself, don't let it go to your head and don't forget where you once were. Keep that attitude and you'll find yourself surrounded by some really cool people if you end up getting into the clan scene.

and dude, don't ever hesitate to ask questions! everybody loves their ego stroked. lol nah j/k. I for one would be happy to help ya out so feel free anytime.

Yeah pretty cool eh? Don't spend 2 weeks specing though get your ass in there and play.

You're always gonna come across the odd person who's rude with elitist attitude, but you just learn to ignore them, and take solice in the fact that the majority of the people you're playing with are glad they got someone new to play with, and in time will get better to offer better challenges

But ya, that's exactly how it went for me back in TFC, think you know the game, play a pickup, get raped, spec for a little while and learn some tricks, then jump right back in there to practice.

Don't think it happens all over night though, it takes time, and most of these guys are experienced from tfc.

I'm curious to know what mrblowtatoes thought of his first pickup...

hahaha yo i asked blowtatoes after the pickup...he was pretty hard headed about it but I finally got it out of him that he admitted pickups are way more "on your toes"...

im glad to see this 916 and seriously good to see more ppl actually seeing the "other side" to this game...its like the analogy triple a (pubbing) major leagues (pickups/clan organized scrims)

good form

Well come on blowtatoes, don't just tell the people you played with! Lets hear a detailed description of your experience. (This isn't meant as a stab against you either), I just would like to know how someone else felt about their first time experience. myersjr appears to have gotten a lot out of it, dare I say... blown away by it? heh.

So..?

Thanks, I appreciate that. I definitely want to play more. That pickup taught me a bit. It was fast and intense. I was like wow..For me, id just like to see how you guys pull of some of the concs you guys were doing..for real.. i think if i see how its done, i know how and what to start practicing..

Send a message via AIM to squeek.
And also try #schoolTF. Hoopajoo might be able to train you (if he's not still angry about that pickup). But, good game. It's nice to see new people in pickups. Hope to see you, blowtatoes, and CUJO (finally played a pickup after years of specing) back for more.

I'd say it might have been a slightly less-than-perfect welcoming pickup. It was 3v3 (fellas vs. me, BlisTer, and blowtatoes) on stowaway2. I am, without a doubt (just try me TML and ViLE; I'd out-bad you anyday) the absolute worst soldier in existence. BlisTer is an offense player as well, so with our skills combined we pretty much let everyone into the flagroom every run. I'd hope he comes back with less stacked teams and experiences a true pickup experience.

I've not been that active over the past week or so on the pickup channel I want to start playing more and more pickups because they are damn fun even if your team loses.
