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

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 |

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'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.
