Screenshot thread

And a nice one of me and some people going all tom clancy on the NF in district.

 

printscreen is made of fail. get Fraps, or use the screenshot function built into Empires as part of Source

 

how is it made of fail?

 

/me press printscreen ingame

now, If I want to keep that screenshot, I cant take another one until I minimize/quit and paste it to paint/other imaging app.

 

heh that's stupid. and not how it's done.

you use the screenshot button. F9 by default.

 

I feel my signature may be apposite here.

 

I know PrivateSandbag, thats what I said, minus the F9 key (I use Fraps).

 

OMG THE MOST EPIC THING HAPPENED RIGHT A MOMENT AGO!!!

I was grenadier but when I got squad revived I was a scout with armor detection and without any grenades. I was totally like WTF!!!??? I had a pistol, a SMG and binoculars and armor detection and my class was marked as Grenadier.

Well... I thought I'm useless now because enemy was driving all around the place in tanks.

I got in the enemy's base quite carelessly and I could have been spotted easily but then BAM... Sudden Death. I was like. OMG!!! NOW I MAY HAVE A CHANCE!!!

I waited there the FULL 300 seconds. NO ONE NOTICED ME even one guy repaired the CV. I was between the walls and the CV in their base right in front of the barracks.

I waited until the 300 seconds were gone and BOOM MUTHAFACKING SHOT THE CV AND WE WON!!!

And if that wasn't enough epic, I'll tell you something. We were losing very badly right from the beginning of the game. The NF got level 2 turrets and level 3 turrets and good armor, mediums and everything. We had mediums too but with reactive armor and 3 phase engines and we were barely holding them off. We couldn't advance at all because of massive level 2 turret at both choke points.

But I finally somehow got through and went next to their CV.

You can just imaginate how the "roof blew up" when our team won. It was sooooo epic. Everybody on NF were like WTF!!! and everyone on our team were like OMG!!!!

JESUS IT WAS SOOOO PURELY THE MOST EPIC THING IN THIS WHOLE GAME!!!!

Take a look at the ending scene.

 

Every com that uses walls instead of turrets for defence deserves that.

 

Actually for the sudden deathmode, turrets don't do a great job of stopping rockets from half a map away.

 

so do smallarms kill CV's too then? weedy seems convinced that they do.

 

From a game earlier tonight as NF.

 

In sudden death, they do. All you need is a single pistol round, afaik.

 

or a melee mine (think frisbee)

oh using screenshot would crash the game so I had to use my mobile phone

 

Send your minidumps to Krenzo

 

I'm not sure if that would help cause it's most likely Wine's fault as this error would normally give a compile error..

and in case you didn't know: http://www.winehq.org/

 

sometimes the CV instakill doesnt work. i played a game where the BE CV took several HE shell hits and a rocket before it exploded.

 

i played this game on NF. damn u sneaky ninja.

when u destroyed the CV, i was checking the base for ninjas and laying mines around the CV to prevent such things. but i was too slow

edit: damn double post. why cant u delete posts in this forum?

 

you can delete posts <_<

edit: you could also just edit your original post and add on the extra information, like I did for this line
