Part 1: Newbism - Kings Revenge
How did you learn about Infantry?
I learned to play Infantry back in Alpha when there was only about 7 people max on at primetimes, after the Alpha was over it's 1 month limit. I would run around and shoot at the corners of walls, walking aimlessly around by myself, waiting for hopefully one person to come in.

When did you first play Infantry?
I dont quite remember when I first played, all I know it was when the Alpha for Infantry had first come out.

Your first alias was?
My first alias was Kings Revenge, and still is and always will be.

Which zone did you play first?
First zone was Beta Zone, I believe that was the first zone that was in the Alpha. It was so awesome. It's so sad how they can't bring it back. It would make for a pretty good WZA map in my opinion.

What was your impression when you logged-in for the first time?
My first time of logging into Infantry was remarkable. I was shocked at the cool looking explosions and specials effects that the weapons had in Alpha. First time I was chilling, I saw some peeps begun to run around and shoot. At the time, the main weapon was a pistol, so if you got to run into someone with low health you could get some fun kills. :)

What were your first words in the chats?
Hey, this is cool.

What was your first class? How did you outfit him/her?
My first class was Sniper, and that was when RPG elements were in. I worked my butt off to get a Sniper Rifle, since few people played, it was hard to scavange for kills and get enough money to buy it. Then you'd have to get the appropiate skill level in order to use it.

It was the most famous class, because back in those days, you could shoot point blank and kill the person in one shot. Gauss Rifles were also famous because they were twins, and were great to use in conjunction with a Sniper Rifle. It was also simple to afford one, because if you had a Sniper Rifle, you could rack up kills pretty easily.

I outfited my class to lead up to a Sniper with what I believe was Auto Pistol at first, then at the F3 base there would be a huge grenade pool, and that was the funnest. With a base at F3, the teams would fight for the ownage of the base due to the grenades. Then BlackHorse came every once and a while and gave me a Shotgun, which could kill anyone in like 2 hits, and easily shoot a nice amount of the screen width. It used the graphic that you see of the exhaust on tanks today.

How long did it take you to learn how to shoot? To strafe?
It didn't take me to long to learn how to shoot, back in Alpha there was no strafing, but rolling, and rolling was awesome. I wish that they would bring it back but I bet too many people would abuse it.

When strafe was introduced, it sucked at first because it was so slow, but as it got tweaked more and more, it was soon evened out. I begun to practice around with it, but for the most part I was taught how to strafe well by Unit92. :)

Who was your first friend, and how did you meet him/her?
My first Infantry friends were Yazour, Unit92, and Terry/Prometheus. Actually I met them all basiclly at the same time, and we've known each other since.

Who was your first enemy, and how did you meet him/her?
I have no enemies in Infantry. However, I always made it my goal to take out ljc when he was playing, he loved to drop those 10-ton thingies on me. :)

When did you realize that Infantry was worth playing?
I realized it once I became so good at it. So I was like "wow I'm good at this game, I could be a really good profitable person to a squad that is worthy of having me".

What else do you remember best of your first days?
What I remember most of the first days of Infantry is the fun of trying to capture the F3 base. Running around on an empty server on the huge map, collecting weapons and ammo, and driving around tanks. I used to be the 2nd best tank driver; I believe, AkenCoFish was the best. :)

Back in Alpha they had tanks in a garage, and we would grab tanks and drive around with some people and have mini squads and pick up some fun kills.
