hell yeh!...look forward to seeing ya' bro'.


A few map's I would recommend for d/l:

Stadium

Burning Indika 3

Skybox

Skin like Winter

Fury

Ascent

Abend

VaricoseVeins Guardian

...these are a few of the most played maps. Of course, if you d/l Vortex and use it to join games and chat, there is an auto d/l feature on the 'join game' page of each mission...links are often dead tho.
Also, I'm sure your aware of Planet Descent, "the largest D3 missions database on the net" :)

Don't forget Halcyon and http://d3.descent.cx is a good place to find active games if you don't have Vortex.

If Pyroglyphic is up and running give that level a try. The level was an all time favorite of mine.

P.S. Give Mobi a good ass kicking while you're at it. ;)

roid,
If you don't win the anarchy matches you are going to be seen by the majority of the human race as a "n00b". Be careful, these incredible laser masters who play (all 50 of them) are always watching, always craving fresh meat. They followed me to the ba-troom.

Maybe D1/D2?

Yes, pyroglyphic is one of the all time best user made levels.

Pyroglyphic and anything by Hostile is amazing. Popular anarchy maps like Skyboat and Abend make baby jesus cry. Baby jesus says say NO to secondaries.

Abend is one of worst levels ever conceived... IMHO.

Hey Roid - I'd be happy to get online and have a gentle play with you if you like. Get busy reading D3 Help, and MSN me on M0b1u5 at hotmail.com or MobiusNZ at hotmail.com

We can set play some 1v1 P2P which would give us good pings, or play on an aussie server - whichever suits.

Seconded.

Oh, and for the record, most people that live in the States probably don't even know what real high-ping play is unless they've played on European servers or with a 56k - and preferably both at the same time.

IĆ¢??m surprised to has mention this yet. Roid stay out of the no fly zone named Subway Dancer. That place is pure evil and no good can come from it.

Abend was one of the first custom levels made. Others were worse. Curious .. it gets played a lot.

Kinda like the acadamy awards. The movie that gets all the praise is not necessarily "popular choice". ;)

Personally, I hate veins .. any variation.

I wouldn't mind playin ya at all. I usually meet and play people by joining games and playing--that's how I've made friends in the community. Welcome!

Will Kill, Fury comes with the game. There is no need to download it.

Welcome, Roid.
I'd play you if I could get the multiplayer thing working.
And another good map is Twilight.

A lot of the old timers, and some not so old timers, don't like "missile boat" "chuck and run" levels.

GG? Oh, I guess that means Roid didn't use Fusion or a tank. =P

roid, as soon as I get my new mobo and CPU, I'ma blast you. ^_~

What Deadmeat said - that and I prefer levels to have some kind of flow. Abend doesn't have one at all.

Apart from the fact that it's ugly as sin, anyway.

Duper - it's because joe average has no taste. :)
