Why not just join the real fights?

It'd be neat to have an outfit of people that coordinate games, then they give some prize (like another empire's weapon/ vehicle) to the winner.

The thread is about people doing stuff ingame.

The term minigames is normally related to well, games built into another game.

So I made the joke, expecting *noone* to believe that I seriously meant pong and pacman should be included.

Anyone ever play TimeSplitters 2? You can play Anaconda (and something else, but I forget it's name) on your little radar thingy. That'd be pretty funny if you could play Pac-Man in game. "In the heat of battle you accidently kill your commander, all because you were playing Pong on your HUD."

Oh, I think this could be very entertaining, especially when you want a little break between the action. You could do mosquito air races among the towers of a base. You could do demolition derbies, ATV races, ramps, all kinds of fun stuff. Just because the game is about great combat doesn't mean that you can't invent other ways to enjoy it as well

The landmine in the air would be a good way to test bolt-driver guys, just have them go out a few clicks, and chuck a couple in the air

So basicly there is nothing to stop a group of querky players from grabbing a couple of buggys and racing around. Thats cool.
I think I remember a dev saying that some of the roads were a bit narrow with edges that you could fall off.
I could myself being entertained watching a rally race through the mountains.
R&R activities will be a nice break from the battle now and again.

1) Mines can not be deployed in the air.
2) I can see some mini game maybe. Everquest had gems, I played that alot.
3) Some outfits might have training runs and stuff. No grief points for killin squad mates.

my question: if you have 3 squads form a platoon can you kill all memebers of the platoon without grief, or only squad memembers still ?

OMG, hellsfire, i used to do the same thing with the warthogs i halo.. you are right, it is hours of fun.. i liked it when i hit the guy and when he respawned, he would have a hard time getting back into the warthog because i chased him.

Pretty sure it is just your squad. Again, I think Platoons are JUST to link the commanders together, and since every time the grief system has been mentioned, they state that squads don't earn grief points for huting those within the squad, I would imagine it doesn't include platoons.
