Topic: How often do you play Descent?

[Bettina]

@Ihatehackers... Yes, I intend to get back in the game. I was working on the setups during the week and last night I found everything was working but me.:-)

@blessu D34E... I don't know if you were on last night but glad to hear you're playing.

@Vanguard... Surely someone here can help you. Foil usually checks in and will be more than willing to get you going.

@Grizz... Did you notice the 'B' I wrote on the wall with my flares just before you came in? Anyway, I left rusty skid marks on every wall and got shot down by my own missiles more than I want to admit and whenever I tried pushing the F8 key I ended up pushing something else and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the unwanted screen so flew around with it until I got killed. Then my contact lenses were getting stuck to my eyes because I wasn't blinking enough so I had to put in some wetting drops then everything was blurry. :-) Anyway, I had a great time and I couldn't believe I played way beyond my bedtime.

I came in second because you were being nice to me and don't think I didn't notice. . I've seen you in action before so to stop you from being a gentlemen let me tell you that I could care less whether I win or not. Coming in last doesn't diminish the fun I have playing with the Subway regulars and you especially. In fact I have more fun trying to keep you from winning...than winning. If that makes any sense.

I'll be on again tonight. I only have morning classes three days a week for the rest of August though I plan on going sightseeing with dad off and on during the month.

Honestly even when you claimed to be actively playing I almost never saw you in a game, but maybe now that I have acquired a habit of staying up till 2 AM... (Not a good habit btw!) I wonder if my parents (or my pitiful excuse for common sense) will allow that continue once college starts...

 Bettina..... Not guilty as charged !!!! While I might take it easy on a new player so they don't get too frustrated, I would never make that mistake with you.... you would hand me my head on a platter.. 

 I am a bit off my game in Subway. It hasn't been being played as much lately, so I've been forced to play Veins more to get get a game in. Totally different gameplay style.

 You whipped me fair and square the other night.....

Well, right now I prefer the builder's side in terms of Descent 3. I've been playing around in 3Ds-Max, and had some progress on a single-player map... that is, if you are interested in a new map?

I'll start up a separate thread for it.

Great thread! I play Descent 1 almost everyday, more than 5 times a week hehe, Descent 2 and 3 are fun too, but I prefer mainlyD escent 1, stronger weapons, no After Burner ,   it has a the best strategic layout, but hay that is just my feel for it

Descent 3 is the best for Co-Ops, there are not many good campaigns for it, but I do hope to see a few more new ones, I always have my PC Flashed Vodoo5 5500 PCi Macintosh ready for it, the PC Bios gives me access to it's DVI-D port

I'm kind of more of a D2 co-op guy actually.  Generally the only part of D3 I really like is the anarchy (though sometimes it can be fun to dogfight one robot for five minutes -- cerebral challenge, they're so good at leading you ).

To my mind, D2 has the best variety of robots to team up against rather than fighting them solo, the most interesting bosses in the series (again, cooperation/team thing), and the biggest variety of quality mission sets to play and quality custom enemies to fight.  And maybe most importantly, I have someone to actually play it with, unlike D1's or D3's.
