I'm happy to see that 1 or 2 people see the logic that comes with this map (I knew you'd like it, Mac :wink: ). I gave Earl a couple of ideas for Cargohold several months ago (like making the elevator fully functional). The idea we both sorta shared was the hope that it would kinda start a little bit of a positive trend in games like firearms, where people are exceptionally talented at moving a mouse and holding down the shoot button. That's kinda the reason I left FA... because it just got dull. Everyone seems to just want to play a bigger version of PS_Sand. "More Routes" means you want more areas to run around in have little "duels" with one or two people.... to see who's better at getting the X-hair over on top of the helmet. Do you not see the challenge? Get access to the elevator, and you can friggon have massive domination. And if the opposing team has access, you have to organize your team in a fashion that will prepare for a major onslaught. If that's no fun, then we all might as well abandon FA and go play CS all night. I'm bothered by the realism of such weapons in FA... yet the gameplay is so dull and 2-dimensional. Ah well.... that's why I started a band, and began to plan out a career...... I hope this map gets passed on to another mod, because it seems to me that it sets a good precident for future team-based maps. I dont know how the HL2 mods are coming along... but hopefully there will be one that can accomodate for maps such as Cargohold.... and maybe tactics will become a necessity. ~Evan

yay! I cant wait. I'll probably start the process tomorrow, if I get the chance. Most of my playing time wil probably come in the middle of the week. It's gonna be funny to see all the weird changes that have happened the the last couple FA Updates.

Hey....Remember moi?Yeah... I think its time for a little comeback. Summer's here.... No car insurance... no job.... Might as well go back to my old friends at [TA].... OOPS... I mean.... <TAC>. WOW! It's been a while, huh? Well... I'm gonna need a lotta help setting up everything. The last time I played a half-life mod was before steam came out. I tried installing it like a month ago and it failed, but I really didnt care back then. NOW... I'm really trying. So... can someone lay out the proper process in which to get FA back up and running (for first time in..... oh.... 15 months)?I'll be in touch. See you guys. ~Evan

I've been thinking about making my return to FA (and gaming in general) in the summer maybe. I'm sure quite a handful of you old-timer's remember me. :wink: I'm not sure if I'll have the time, but it'd be nice to be a part of the FA and [TA] community once again. It's been a while. I never really stepped into 2.8 even... so I'd have to get everything set up on my computer again.... but I could do it. Just wanted to stop in and inform you (those of you who remember me at least). ::tips yankees hat:: catch you guys later.~Malakian

Hey people. I was just checkin in to see how your all doing. Nice to see my Forum ID still works. lol. I'm happy to see you guys are still flowing as a community. It's cool to see that your competing as well. Sorry I've been gone. I doubt that status will really change at all. I'm currently the man of my household, and I havent had much time or will for gaming. When I have had the urge, I've played NS. Even that's gotten dull though. Anyways, I just wanted to say "hi". HI! Keep everything running around here, and keep having fun. Gator... *nod* ... Mac ... *tips yankees hat* ... my former partners in ownage (Ah... the spam-boy days) ... *smirks* ... people who have just recently joined and dont know who I am ... *shrug*Peace out boys. ~Evan

That was such a funny scene. "DROP YOUR WEAPON!!!""AND..... THE COFFIN!"

WOO! boo ya. Health is so easy. I can TOTALLY escape a date rape situation now! No way a woman's takin advantage of me against MY will.... :wink:

As My cousin stated above.... Runescape needs interdependance. Without it, it's only a faint dream of it's true potential. However to implement this, RS needs more than an update. These changes call for a MASSIVE OVERHAUL of the ENTIRE GAME. A rebirth........ cancel everybody's character and make them start over(maybe). And make them choose a role.... Once they choose a role.... make it difficult for them to level up in the other departments. Like... If your an Archer.... make it a LITTLE hard for them to level up in combat.... but make it VERY hard for them to become good smithers. Get the idea?WARRIOR - You excell in combat obviously. You kill characters and other players for profit. You exchange services with Cooks and Smithers. Offer protection in exchange for armour or cash. Team with Archers and Wizards to kill people and all that good stuff.MINER/SMITHER - YOU MAKE A LAWTA MAWNAY! Reel and Deal. Make armour, weapons, etc. Sell them and trade them for the services of wizards or warriors.WIZARD - The area that I think needs the most improvement. These guys need more spells that do different things. I'm sick of seeing purple blobs of goop shoot across the screen. Wizards should be able to act similar to archers, but with less combat abilities. However, in return they get the luxury of nicer things... like the ability to teleport, etc. RANGER/ARCHER - A Warrior with better long range abilities, but poor short range ability. Everyone HATES Archers in RS.... because they "Steal" kills. It wouldnt be like this if the Archers faced more of a risk. With the lower ability at close range, ranging would be improved.COOKS - YES! COOKS! THEY PLAY A ROLE! It's lame that every friggon guy in a bronze helmet can cook for himself. Cooks would play a big role. And there WOULD be people willing to play the role, I'm sure of it. If there was ever a low amount of cooks, then like a small amount of people would get MAJOR business... and I'm sure that would deter some people from staying with warrior and miner roles.Runescape sucks now. It needs an "economy" of sorts. But it aint happening any time soon.

I'd love a T4. The ending is WIIIIDE open on T3. It'd be interesting to see how it all goes down on T4. I hope they get it out quick though.... before Arnold gets too fat.

hahahaha... aw man... I started calling Buleltface "Tiffypoo". hehe! She gave me a big fat "ugh!!!".

yeah man... forget the time. Jus focus on performing and being cool... You clan newbies need to try and fill in for me! :wink:

Yeah me too. I have a more expensive, but more crappy webcam. :evil:

Ah, it'll be fine. thing's are just changing for some people. People all live different lives. Some people (Bulletface, Flak Magnet) have been around forever, and wont likely leave(knock on wood). My cousin's still around, as he already stated. And yeah, his side of the family is fine... except the fact that everyone never pays attention to what he says, and they give him a hard time every 5 seconds.

Yeppers Mac... thats why I'm trying to squeeze my arse off here. Hope you guys are into sourness... I ran outta sugar.

Ah..... just proves my point. You've missed the "Malakian Era". lol! 10 months of agravating spam.
