Davy, I miss getting shot down by you. I also liked those lopsided games, even when I was on the small team. I learned to duck and roll and snap off accurate shots. Just a thought though, all aspects of our lives change, including Dogfight.

I looked forward to being outnumbered and enjoyed it just as much when one side was entirely made up of squad members regardless of the squad.

So things progress and things change, this we all know and understand, sadly the change here came as a result of a few who didn't like getting beaten in a game by those who were beaten and became greatly skilled players. We all learned how to use physics of the game before the changes which are obsolete in the current state.

I can't help but notice that some of those who begged for change are now dissatisfied with the results in which they asked for. I miss playing with my friends and squad mates and being able to switch to help when one was outnumbered regardless of who they are.

So those who wanted an arcade version of df got it and as a result many have moved away from what was in my opinion one of the best multiplayer games for mobile devices. So many advocates now realizing that these changes have nullified all those hard learned lessons and skills we all used to enjoy showing off in a game.

100% agree

Yes, I'd rather take on the Fox News Spokesman than try to fight the rediculous LAG that permeates most games.
If it were a choice between Davy and Lag I'd rather face Davy and certain death than lag spawn kills.

Hello guys, thanks for the comments.

I'll be back soon so I can hit that 200,000 kill

From what I understand from talking to so many that the lag is an issue but the other changes are not liked by many. Maybe some day he will roll it back to the 2 shot kill, changing sides, uneven games and long shots.

There is no possible way that things could have been summarized better than this. The needs of the many, were ignored by the needs of the few. Admittedly, the lag is better these last couple days, but the game is not what it was. I still have fun playing, mostly when I have to square off against Squad mates or better skilled players. Too many fixes made to something that wasn't broken. To add the old quote, " He who reaches for the Stars often stumbles on a simple straw."

I've only been playing for about 1 1/2 years. But I miss being out numbered those grossly one sided games.
Something about spawning and seeing multiple reds coming over that hill with guns blazing would make my heart pound.


I learned to play in those games too, it was always me and other guy against 6, very very good training!


Those days are alive and well. I've been playing games were people kept getting added to the opposing team while I was the only one on my side!

I dont know of any players in at leadt the top 50 world rank who did not learn at the mercy of davy, blue max, and one or two other moms bearing down on you. It made us all more deadly now. If those days are back i say "Hoooray!" I have never whined about being short handed. I try to play every game by BlueMaxs rules. He was a man who understood this game as few ever do.
