Tankpit Raid Takes Video Thread

by **weekend_nachos** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 1:22 pm

Aight first off, myself and some others have expressed how it's always cool to see peoples first person views of taking raids, and that it needs its own specific thread. Cause watching someone else take becomes it's own thriller that everyone can experience.

The main idea is for newer players to see these in one section, and potentially learn something. Secondary is this thread being another form of showing the community your chops and how you go about taking a raid with constructive criticism being welcomed in the comments.

We've had a vaguely similar thread ( Icys Raid compendium) but that was an overall view of his daily life in TP. This is for anyone and everyone to post their own raid takes, not raiding other people. TBH I think both this and Icys thread should remain separate, but compliment each other.

A perfect example of what this thread should be about:

Hint: If it gives you a video error, hit refresh. It might take a few tries to make it happen.

pretty cool but I can only pay attention to one at a time lol

Difficulty: 8
4-6v1 all purple. It looks somewhat organized. Field is not radared for you for the most part.
Take: 9.5
Wow that really impressive. You got crazy low, 1-2 shot from death, a few times. Only a couple of mistakes of getting the wrong fuel. You shot even when you were only half full after a tele, which almost no one does including myself. And I was on my seat at ~4:36 mark, boy you radared just in time lol. That was really fun to watch overall, GJ Kirby!

Some great youtube channels of some great past takes can be found at:

Recording programs that can be found:

PC: Bandicam, Hypercam, Camtasia

MAC: Quicktime ( i dont recommend) , Snagit ( highly recommend)

I would really like to see more and more people get into this, because i think it holds a lot of potential for the community. I'm personally going to try and record and upload all good and shitty takes.

Tank: SAILS POINT STARWARD
Rank: General
Map: Desert
Date: June 1st 2014
Personal Rating: 1.8 / 5

Comments: A lot of mistakes and just dumb moves. Not really a take take imo based on the odd numbers and appearances. Tried to make it as interesting as i could for myself. Was still fun regardless. Best viewed on chrome, and I havent figured out how to put in game sounds so i dropped music to make it watchable instead of silence. Might just keep it classic with future vids with music in the back anyways.

ahh yes, this was fun, too bad we couldn't get more people to make vidoes and/or reviews and comments

Difficulty: 5/10
2-4 enemies on you at a time, all look like adequate raiders. The area you started at looks like it has yet to be radared. There also appeared to be some fake fuel along with "premines". Then you got fucked with a lot more "premines" at da end.

Take: 4/10
You definitely got pretty low, but made way too many mistakes. Missed most of da fuel on your teleports as well as driving to fake fuels before radaring. You missed da fuel on a few tele's on da same screen which hurt. You also mined a couple of times when you didn't need to.

The goal here is to hopefully spark more people to contribute. This wasn't my sole idea, but rather a collective to bring it back. I'm willing to bet the main reasons some "reputable" players won't record cause they don't want people to really see the weak takes they pull on purpose cause they aim to survive at all costs, or will just upload selectively, if at all.

I'd like for people to have fun and just post regardless of good or bad takes, but there's probably some egos at stake here.

Thanks for the crit btw, you scored me higher than I did myself haha. I haven't seen much raid activity since 2 nights ago, hoping that changes so i can record some more soon.

by **Frost** » Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:52 pm

Ima try to video a raid take, but seeing as I don't play often, it may be hard. Plus I am uncertain how it will affect my speed n such.

---------------------------

ya never mind. I tried videoing while i was playing, my ping quadrupled the second i turned the recording software on, it over heated my computer, and i got the blue screen of death upon reboot lol. Had to re-reboot.

by **CoolkylemaC21** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 5:58 pm

Well last night lads, I got a lifetime code for Camtasia 8 Recorder. I seen the purples were just raiding, so I was like ima go test out this recorder to see what the quality is like. So I entered the map and spammed for the purples to raid me. And since everything was fake I got absolutely raped. And I hit a big lagg spike at the beginning and went from 55 armours to 29 from the one tele.

So this is what it looks like for Battlefield-2 to get Shit on!:( : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMwD3Uik3I8
Watch in HD: also I don't know what's up with my mouse. The recorder added that shitty box. lol

by **CoolkylemaC21** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 11:22 pm

Battlefield-2 vs AOW.. I kept getting lagg, Thats why I tele early a few times.

Is there a recorder that doesn't lag the game?

How Not to take a take V.1

Tank: SAILS POINT STARWARD
Rank: Colonel
Map: Levels
Date: June 4th 2014
Personal Rating: .6 / 5

Comments: I'm absolutely terrible at taking raids in levels. Mis-teles everywhere, and even after all this time of the damn map being in game I still lose my bearings. That being said I didn't really prepare myself for the map and came in rather blind and picked a shitty spot for the take. Enjoy watching me flop around here.

Made up for it a bit on take #2

Tank: SAILS POINT STARWARD
Rank: Major
Map: Levels
Date: June 4th 2014
Personal Rating: 3.5 / 5

Comments: Someone had already filled and revealed a ton of fuel top right so I was pleased to find that most of it was real which was pretty much key in this take. Some early mistakes that burnt my armors pretty damn quickly which lead to some conservative teleports at times just based on me knowing what causes me to lag and how many shots I can take in certain situations before fucking myself over. I don't like to be around bots at all when i take so that screen i definitely wanted out of if i can help it. Managed to empty and then some firing off singles for quite some time, seems people really love to take advantage of the fact i dont call BRB. Bring it. :evil:

Oh and my last teleport was a facepalm.

Heat of the moment :poker:

But thanks for pointing that out hahaha, something i should think about. Although i do like going till death or they give up, but sometimes filling from like 5 ers is rather strenuous

by **Jordann** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 5:33 pm

people taking raids till they die/no ers is setting a bad standard for everyone else, considering mob mentality is gonna carry over and theyre gonna be expecting everyone else to die or itll be considered unworthy.

I tell kyle this also, just take your fill. set the trend, couple screens shooting singles then go fill. dont even ask or wait for them to let you. Gives purpose to taking raids, empty and survive. makes playing against the odds not feel so impossible, and helps preserve ranks for counter raids to naturally form via people not dying and quitting.

by **Jordann** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 5:35 pm

either way good take, was actually impressive seeing you get as low as you did at some teleports. good quality video also.

by **CoolkylemaC21** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 11:58 pm

Battlefield-2 Taking on the AoW/reds for 10 mins in metropolis. I couldn't get too too low because I knew there was no fuel around. But it was a decent take.

Jesus dude watching you is like watching SH compared to how my shit responds. 6 mins in the video and you still had 40 shields on screens i thought you were getting them tossed. Wish my shit was that responsive. Solid take regardless in probably one of the worst / the worst map for taking.

by **CoolkylemaC21** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 12:45 am

Haha yeah my comp is crazy fast. And im actually slow and lagging a bit when im recording. When im not recording im Lightning fast.

by **Frost** » Fri Jun 06, 2014 7:01 am

Ya god damn dude ur shit is crazy fucking fast! Like its not even fair how fast...

You dont mean that, Your just trying to make me feel better!

This is prob my best take yet on this tank. It ran pretty smooth and I Survived the raid on my General!

I recommend watching it on larger view or full screen. Full screen view is fun! it stays pretty clear too!

by **CoolkylemaC21** » Sat Jun 07, 2014 9:05 pm

This red raid was a pretty good take, But also a huge fail. lol I died 7 mins in with 40 armours:( It could a been a beast take!

I can only record 10 minutes at a time, unfortunately. Here goes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypkIoAc ... e=youtu.be

Starts getting more interesting @ 3:30. How I take any amount of raiders, my timing has to near flawless with how slow my connection can be or I'll get destroyed. As you can see at the very end I mis-timed turning on shields by a split second and went insufficient.

This is in Rocks, just a little scuffle between 3 reds, 3 red bots and 3 oranges tanks.

More to come.
