lol

First time I played "Into the Lion's Den", I had the lights turned off, the stereo up just a little higher than normal and had my headphones turned up just enough so that I could hear audio out of them (poor man's surround sound baby!)  I had just taken a sip of my glass of iced tea while waiting for the mission to load when all of a sudden I heard Snipes yelling.  I dropped the glass onto the carpet (luckily it didn't shatter), grabbed my joystick and slammed on the afterburner.....and then I got rammed by the Sathanas RIGHT smack dab in the ass end of my fighter.  (I knew that because it spun me around and suddenly I was doing well over 100m/s)  I'd hate to see that fighter if FS2 had geomod capability.

heh, if that mission is SO annoying, try playing it on 'insane'. i'll see you when you're 92.

EDIT: This message is in reference to 'As Lightning Fall'. Didn't see the second page!:o

[Ford Prefect]

If I saw something that looked like the Sathanas crawling up my shoulder, I would scream like a girl.

[LOKO]

were all with u there Ford Prefect

[xti]

The 'dive dive' part... ahh yes. My first reaction 'SWEET MERCIFUL CRAP!' *dive, just barely make it*

Good times...

Hey xti, welcome to HLP.

Oh god i remember that mission.  I broke my desk!

I was relaxing on my pc chair waiting for the mission to load, my joystick was ready on the desk and id pulled out the sliding shelf with my keyboard on.  I was still relaxing when it started, i heard Snipes screaming at me to dive with my pc speakers on extremely loud and i jumped, jumped so much m knees went crashing into the keyboard shelf and the keyboard fell to the floor, lol.  I was kneeling on the floor trying to find the burners key whilst trying to dodge the Sathanas with my joystick.  Lol, needless to say i was splatted on the Sathanas.  In the end it turned out id broke my keyboard shelf.  From then on i didnt have the sound loud, lol.

[Ory'hara]

I remember when Snipes shouted at me and I want WTF? So I turned around and saw a Sathanas. In my panic I hit the burners while facing the Sathanas but amazingly I didn't get hit my it.

Thanks Setekh

I hated that first time I played it, but I actually think it works pretty damn well now - because nebulas are a bit like flying on instruments, and that takes away the instruments, so you really have to work to complete it.

Yeah, that mission just works....

I did something similar (although no actual breakage. Just sent the keyboard half a foot in the air).  The 4th time I played the mission.

Next time I'll pay more attention

Very passionate. Gets my thumbs up.

[Anubis2k4]

How did you explain that one?

I just told my dad what had happened and he started laughing at me, lol.  I didn't hear the end of it for a couple of months.

[ChronoReverse]

You should have made him play the mission instead of explaining it.

[Striker]

That was, by far, the best moment in gmaing ive ever had. Not my first headcrab, not the destruction of halo, but getting yelled at by snipes with full volume as I was half asleep playing late night. I got in trouble for that one. Of course as my mom is yelling at me to turn it down I'm manuevering around trying to get a shot at the comm nodes telling her sure sure in a second.
Good times.

[Setekh]

Gotta agree. Volition did an awesome job building up the mood around those missions... very convincing.

[Gloriano]

There is lot missions i like

[InfernoGod]

I had just reached The Sixth Wonder for the first time, and I got really bored. So I flew far away from the station. Then I got the message that some massive warship was jumping in. Turned around and *splat*. The Colossus got a hood ornament.
EDIT: This happened a long time back...

[Swamp_Thing]

As soon as you dive to avoid the Sathanas, and it jumps out, if you stay back and disable the two Rackshasas and then destroy them, the shivans send in a non stop flow of fighters to kill you. I killed 46 fighters on that mission once. Had my wing take out the comm devices, while i stayed close to the node and made shivan soup out of them. By the time i jumped out in mission end, i had about 50 kills. That kill score got me my "triple ace" status, a medal, and a promotion.

But to do it, you have to work fast because the 2 cruisers are jumping out. Hit the engines first, to stop them. If you try to destroy one completelly, the other one jumps out.

The first time i played that mission, i wasn´t paying much attention when it started. I heard the "dive dive" warning, but when i looked i already had the Sathanas bumping me like a billiard ball. I had to restart to see what had happened.


Best mission in the entire FS2 campaign. Wish they´d made a few more like that one.
