Challenge to the MOB's who play Barb Options

[M@ster of Dis@ster]

I tried to tease some MOB regs today into doing this, but they didn't respond. But anyway, here's the challenge.

Play German.

Oh, some do. I know. But A LOT don't. Ever. Or barely ever. And since most MOB Reg's are usually really good, I thought this might be a way to "even the odds" a little. See how good some of you are without knowing how to pak the spawns and every base at will. See how well you can adjust to being on the other side of the battlefield.

Now, remember, this is MoD here, and I'm applying to be a reg myself. But I'm also been an "auto-assigner" all my days playing Barb, and wouldn't mind facing a few notable opponents while they are on the Germs for a change, or even having them as my teammates when I'm German! As it is, I'm starting to wonder why I autoassign, knowing that my odds are often better on Russian, since it is often "stacked". Now, I understand friends are going to stack, people want to play together, but how about at least moving around the teams you're on a bit? Just a thought. Well, a "challenge". Anyone up for it?

I mostly play German, but when I play Russian and snipe you, you call me a pussbag. When i'm on your team, you don't mention anything when i'm sniping them.

When we first put up the Barb map it was far more common to be German than Russian. People liked the tanks better and the guns better. I always preferred to play Russian and chose the SVT rifle. Over time I guess we started to prefer Russian because it was felt the Germans had the advantage. Of course at this point I think we know how to play Ruskies to a tee.
Now, Silver loved to play Russian because he was (I'm sure still is) the king of stealing a German tank and spawn killing in your tank spawn. He figured out all the firing angles to hit everything from there. Silver was/is the Barb king.
Well, I take that back a bit. Nobody liked to play against Shadow, who was almost always (perhaps always) German. We all know that Shadow is a killing machine.

Lol thank you very much for the kind words Bargod and i admit at the beginning i did prefer Germans but after few weeks i realized that you will never ever be a good player if you always stick to one side or chose the teams who you will know that will win .
So if you see people that stay all the times one side or they chose the wining team they are always players for stats and they will never be a good players but that's their choice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, MoD. But u use the pak a lot as German. Everytime u r German, and someone is planting R3 u give pak cover to the plant. (like we do as Russians on every base) The clue is to make countermeasures, and that should be easy...........

Did u feel the bullit when u entered the pak yesterday, MoD?

btw - we also know how the German pak works..........

......and it is always a pleasure playing with or against u MoD!

[Lord Lipton]

thanks to mr. h8 i can use pak's on both sides.



i just prefer the mosin/ppsh and spawnkilling the jerries.



i play one what i feel like, i really don't mind either way.

[Mr.Scruff]

Scruff love German.







(Scruff don't speak good sentence.)

But, the German PAK's totaally suck.


I agree with the 2nd statement here! NOW STOP CRYING!!!! lmao

I would have to agree with what MoD is saying here. Yes, the Germans have better tanks but that is it. Russians have the room sweeper with the Ppsh and the great PAKs. And the bases are structured a little easier to defend. Russian is an easier team to play.

I like Russian for the reasons above. I play the game to enjoy myself. I dont care to play something to make it more difficult for myself. Yes, I could do it, but why? To prove to myself that I am also good playing the weaker team? Especially how most do it by camping in tanks? I dont need to prove anything to myself. I just need to enjoy myself.

Just take Samoan for instance. He always plays German. All he does is sit at the hill at R2. That is so boring to me. Or Cap Ron that pitches a tent at German 3. That is so boring to me. I do everything. I Pak, I plant in bases, I snipe, I defend. I utilize every aspect of the game because its fun to me. Finding one thing such as sitting in a tank is not fun so I dont do it.

Well, I do what ever I think is needed for my team to win. That may be sitting on the hill at G3 and blowing up jeep load after jeep load of russians. It may be a halftrack run into the russian spawn then up the back road to r3. It may be a jeep run to kill russian pak gunners. It may be hitting G3 or G2 with a pak from the Russian side or taking the KV1 and doing nothing but D at R3 late in the game. Whatever it takes.

I agree Barb is alot of fun when you have balanced teams. I don't enjoy it as much as Tuchola, but I do like to play it on occasion. I don't really thing that one side has the advantage. But, a good team that works together will usually beat one that doesn't.

Maybe I'll try Barb again... the few times that I've played, it was spawn rape central from the PAKs and I just got frustrated w/out getting to fire a round. Tried again a few days later, same thing. I don't plan to play again, but maybe I'll hop in and give it a chance. I can see why people would want to be on a certain team oppossed to the team being clobbered all the time. Possibly, there are more people like me that just get frustrated and leave...

something to think about if the team is attempting to draw public players to the server. I know spawn killing is "legal" on the MOB servers. Just an empathatic thought on why some people would or could get frustrated and leave. I see it happen in Cassino all the time, too many times.

Yeah, I'm really sorry about that, I couldn't help it. I'll try to "tone it down" a little.
