Noob's Thoughts on Xtract

Post by Desertfox »

So I had my first xtract experience today. I was extremely surprised at the amount of teamwork! I know PR has teamwork but everything just... feel into place. Before the round started I assigned all the people in my squad kits/vehicles, when we spawned in and only like one guy got driver in a vehicle I was like "oh no, we are screwed" but a blue guy got a humvee and waited at the gate! He waited! WERE SAVED! I got it all on fraps :-D

Pretty much we rolled out in a like 4 car convoy. SUV + 2 Humvees + 1 APC. Lead humvee got taken out at checkpoint, so now im panicking like oh shit! If you think IED's on AAS are bad man this is IED heaven! So I do NOT want to stop but im lagging behind from the team (I should have pulled into cover and stopped) I ended up getting RPG'd @ Village bridge so im like hes reloading I have to go I gunned it and got taken out.

I did about 2 other runs as VIP but I didnt know it was on tickets, I thought it was timer so we ended up running out of time/blowing up @ end of tickets :p

Overall: Awesome teamwork and VERY fun!

'[R-PUB wrote:Garabaldi']Yeah, Xtract is awesome. It's a shame more server don't run it in their rotation.

I'm glad you added two rounds of it to Devfile.
After how much fun I had and the fact that the server stayed populated I may think about adding 3! But im not actually sure if I can add 2/3 I think it was to be even.

You played X-tract in devfile today. That was the most fun I've had that server ever.


Bad thing though on our turn for the US, we had just enough tickets for one extract but when we got to north bridge the VIP , out of the blue, desided to floor it over the bridge, at the last second the VIP noticed IEDs on the bridge and served had right. The Insurgents then blew the IED and cought the VIP SUV on fire and then I took them all out with the Humvees .50 cal.

All of this was happening while I was screeming over voip for the VIP to stop when I saw the IEDs. Then I realized he wasn't in my squad... :o ops:

Yeah I was stuck back at palace during that round, I was watching you guys on the minimap and I was saying "Come on, VIP dont go first let the humvee take the IED" no offence to you though :D Just gotta protect that VIP :) I see him floor it and im like "omg..."

I always get in the humvee and wait at the gate so a noob VIP driver cant escape and go on its own to get RPGed lol.

MEC for that is so much fun. Roadblock the three bridges with cars and trucks and get RPGs ready and hide. Let hummers drive by but once the VIP SUV comes out, BAM.

However, I find that its way too easy as VIP, I know how to drive the SUV that no matter what anyone does on the MEC team, I'll have won without any help whatsoever on the US team. So right now, it could be a little more balanced.

Ya man I know. I was just driving and thinking, "OK if hes smart he'll let me go up front and take out the Insurgent who put the IED down." But then he floored it and I just froze, and I thought " Oh ****, did he really think that is a good idea when two black dots are clearly visible on the bridge?"

But I still had a ton of fun as Ins. with Juniper40 as the squad leader. :)

I hope you appreciated the IED's we set up for you @ the Village Northern bridge, DesertFox.

It was our extreme pleasure to assist you with your SUV suicide run - directly into our squad of highly skilled and co-ordinated defenders.

Once again,
Cordially yours....

the mode is very fun, i played with you desertfox.

anyway, talking about the convoy. its all useless. i just tell my team to lay low, ignore humvees and apc. when the black suburban comes into view, we pop up and rpg it. very effective. then now we deal with the soldiers who abandon their vehicles. we ask them to pledge allegiance to allah or be killed. they usually comply seeing they are surrounded by mujahidin. we then take them home, teach them about the koran and give them wives

Thats the thing though I told my squad-mates (One had a APC, other was in a humvee) that if we start getting shot at the APC stops, the humvee will pull up beside the APC so now he have a shield.

It is usually more balanced if there are more people. The more insurgents, the more they can spread out and the more likely they are to spot enemies.
