We played HQ Raiders (HQR) on SF Sandstorm for this weeks TWL League match. We probably played a little to passively on the first 2 rounds as we fell behind 0-2. We then won 6 straight rounds to take a 6-2 lead. We got a little over-confident I guess and lost the next 2 rounds and the score was 6-4. We then took the last 2 rounds without too much worry. So the final score was 8-4. You can view the round by round results by clicking here.

Thanks to everyone that practiced with us tonight.

We are now 6-0-1 and have secured at least 2nd place in our division. If we win next week we will should finish 1st overall (depends on rounds won/lost) in the open league. Next weeks map is Urban Assault.

We played Defenders of Glory {DoG} on Insurgent Camp for this week's TWL match. We were assault first and managed to take a 4-2 lead into halftime. On defense we also went 4-2 to finish the match at 8-4. Thanks to everyone for playing and/or practicing for the match. SF Sandstorm is up next.

We are 5-0-1!

This week we played Above Average on SF Hospital. We were Ambush first and managed to win 3 of the first 6 rounds to stay even with them. Nearly everyone picked against us as they were a perfect 4-0 and had breezed through there competition. We won the first 2 rounds on Escort to pull ahead 5-3. They won the next two rounds to tie it all up at 5-5. In the 11th round Spidey got a double kill and BJ and Sang cleaned up the rest to go ahead 6-5. In the last round Spidey aced the other team to give us the 7-5 win. Good job guys and thanks to everyone who showed up and practiced.

We are now 4-0-1

From the creative mind of Doug “=EE=Doug” Charlton comes the second community created America’s Army map to be elevated to FMC status. Oil Rig, as you may have guessed, is designed around an offshore oil drilling platform and brings a new twist to America’s Army gameplay.

Doug, who is a fan of well-balanced, fast-paced maps, decided to give the America’s Army Mission Editor a try and create a map borne from his own imagination.

“I like fast small maps,” Doug explained. “So an oil rig seemed a great setting. I thought it would be a different environment from the current maps with slightly different gameplay.”

Working long and hard on his design paid off for Doug. “I had never built a map for any game, which made the AA editor difficult to use at first. But I soon learned by trial and error. I just made a lot of it up as I went along...”
