Let's Play BreakOut! Round #8!

by **Lady Silver** » Sun Nov 01, 2015 10:29 pm

Calling all Descent 3 pilots!
This week we will be playing a mod made by RIP Foil called BreakOut!
It's a team game where, if you are killed, you are sent to "jail". The goal is to jail all members of the opposite team before they can "BreakOut" (be set free by their team mates).
Follow this link to learn the rules and download the mod:

Date: Friday November 6th
Time: 10:00 pm EST
Place: Glass House & Alcatraz

We will start with Glass House, moving on to Alcatraz afterwards.
These games can be found using the Descent trackers, but I will also provide IP addresses later on.

Please let me know if you plan to make it; I like having an idea of how many pilots are coming so I can lure more pilots in with the numbers.

This invite is also being posted on the DBB and the Descendent Studios forum.

We have a new host! I would like to thank Krom for providing the servers for us!

LET'S PLAY SOME BREAKOUT!

Dang ... This sounds like fun, but it's very unlikely I'll be available at that time. :-\ I'll definitely play future D3 games if I get the chance, though!

Damn, I know I won't make it... BlizzCon weekend.

double sad face! :cry:

I can flip one of those sad faces upside down.

I just realized that the conflicting event in my schedule could easily be done later, so I can be there on Friday. I need to fix my definition of "very unlikely" ... LOL.

Oh, Sweet! See you there Ryusei!

I can't wait to play this mod!

by **ryusei117** » Tue Nov 03, 2015 7:24 pm

Ah, forgot to add - I might be a few minutes late depending on how long dinner takes, but I'll try to appear as soon as I can. Looking forward to this!

Update:

I have had some problems getting the BreakOut version of the level Glasshouse to work on my computer. Dues has had the same issue. But I have spoken to 2 other pilots that can play it without a hitch. So, tonight I'm going to pull Glasshouse from the menu.

So we will start the night off playing BreakOut in Alcatraz, IP# 69.131.84.7:2096

When we are done there, we can move to Seleg Prime and play some CTF, IP# 69.131.84.7:2097

I highly recommend reading the BreakOut readme before the game tonight: http://downloads.ripteam.com/foil/BreakOutReadMe.txt

I'll see you guys in a few hours!

Prepare for Descent! 8-)

Foil, you have made an excellent mod! It's a shame more pilots aren't familiar with BreakOut! Definitely underplayed. We must get together and play it again soon!

We flew in Alcatraz all night, which, as you may have guessed, is designed to look like a prison. Perfect for BreakOut. There is a main floor you fight on, containing 2 separate bases, 2 separate courts to fight in, and a corridor separating the red side from the blue side.
Each team has a jail cell located in their base where their opponents are kept once they are shotdown/captured. Also, hidden in the base behind a wall is a lever your opponents have to get to in order to free their comrades. Each team has an outer court that is wonderful for dog-fighting in. There are also tunnels that have been "dug out" under the floors, and air ducts you can fly through in the ceiling that lead into the bases, so there wasn't just one way in and out. The air ducts were heavily used and made for some hilarious encounters. :lol:

Many rounds were played where-in there were numerous jailbreaks made by both teams; making it just that much more fun and challenging. A few times someone accidentally opened the wrong jail cell and let their enemies out...oops.

lol
Game lasted about 2 1/2 hours. At most we only had 6 pilots, but we still had so much fun! I would love to play this with 10 or more pilots!

Ryusei, we made a great team! Nice flying with you!

It was the final game: 2 v 2, Fireball and Dues vs Ryusei117 and I. Game ends at 10 points and we were losing 7 - 9. Ryu and I were able to fight off the enemy and rescue each other from jail enough times to pull ahead and claim the victory!

I made the final fatal MD shot, shooting Fireball as he was just about to round the corner near the lever and free Dues. After pulling the trigger the score board came on showing us as the winners and I threw both my hands in the air and called out "Yes! I got him!". LOL I guess I was a little caught up in the moment.

Fun times!

Thanks for flying with us and showing us the ropes, Foil!
Thank you for hosting for us, Krom!

Until next time, I'll see you in the mines! 8-)
