Seriously...it beat me to a pulp!
Let's preface this by saying it has been
about three months since I've even touched a Laserforce pack. The last time I
played SM5 was in the Armageddon. And of course I had extremely limited
experience with it before then anyhow. But coming off of a few months of
playing nothing but Zone this was a hard crash back to reality. But it is
necessary for me to get good at this, so I am willing to pay my dues and put in
some time and effort to learn it. That said...damn!
Let's just say this is as good as it got last
night. My very first game of the night actually landed me in negative numbers! An
embarrassing re-entry. I vowed to get my act together better than that, but the
truth is for a moment I really think I forgot how to play Laserforce at all!
Then I got over that and just realized my experience level needs to catch up
with those around me. This isn't Saturday night. :)
The results above were from the second game.
Certainly a far stretch from the greatest, but it wasn't my worst either. I got
my bases and stayed in the game the whole time without being tagged out early.
Both these games I played as scout. Up until this night that's the only
position I had played (well, maybe ammo or medic once or twice). But then
things got interesting. The randomizer for the first time apparently deemed me
"ready" (stupid machine) to try other positions. So I took a turn
playing heavy, ammo and medic in succession. It was interesting and more
stressful play for me. And it's safe to think next time I'll get my first shot
playing commander. Honestly, I miss scout already.
I know I'm
still very green at this and making errors, but so far everybody has been
decent to me during my learning curve. However, things get tense in that arena.
I can't say this is a game I would choose just for fun when I'm in a tag mood
(not that I could unless 11 other people hit that same mood just right), but at
the same time it is good to start to broadening my skill set and this is
something that I know will serve me well if I can get a handle on it. So this
will be the next project I dedicate myself to. I will become decent at SM5...eventually.
