RazorFox Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 This is for the other old fogies out there to wax nostalgic, and for new blood to learn what things were like in the old days. Post things you remember that were different back when, or ask questions.Remember when:-Lone wolfers had unlimited attack time-Defense reports were required for lone-wolfers even if they only ran at the line once, died, and didn't come back-The Alpha squads were A-I, B-I, and C-I, and the regular squads were A-II, B-II, and C-II-Zerging was allowed anywhere so we used to roll in on a base of ten people with like twenty-Only Aryte led raids-Promotions were announced at weekly meetings instead of the day after-You got an unlock after every promotion because QP didn't exist-Praetorians did not ask to be Praetorians, they were asked (in other words, Aryte selected them personally-Promotions were recommendation-based, as the exams did not yet exist-Schola was only four phases-The HUD had a grappling hook in it-Defense reports had to be hand-written because Mercury didn't auto-generate them-The standard-issue rifle held 100 rounds and had explosive munitions that could be activated remotely in an emergency (the standard SMG just had flashbang rounds)-The old adjudicator-Frumentarii-The Iron Symphony-That period where we were allied with AN-People still gave a shit about Vanguard Jester Spearmann 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Kuhr Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 -The hud had a GOTO command which would teleport you to said person-There were no mercury reports because mercury didn't exist, so the only sign that someone was attacking was to watch the spawn.-Weekly meetings were held outdoors with bleachers while Sol Cult pushed Legionnaires (Numerii) through a woodchipper out back.-Artemis.-Schola was only three phases, and one phase involved parachutes.-When the armory consisted of five weapons.
