Part 3: Present Impressions - Stechen
What zones do you play now (or plan to when they are re-released)?
I play CTF1, CTF2, and plan to play Boomball X.

Which zone is/was your favourite? Why?
It's a tie between CTF2 and BBX. I'm still getting used to the new changes to CTF2, however, so BBX has pulled ahead a tad. It's because I like the larger CTF2 map (comparing to CTF1), and 'cause I 0wn j00 all in BBX.

What is your primary CTF class at the moment?
I'm an Infant[y] at heart and at play.

How do you equip your primary CTF class?
Actually my equipment is pretty damn boring, in as much as it's probably what every shmuck out there uses on an Infant[y]: Carapace, IDF (no energy drain protection for THIS manly man), SSC, an Enhanced Sensor system or two, a handful of frag grenades, and the assault rifle that my mother affectionately claims "shoots blue shit."
Oh, and a FlightPack for raping you on the streets.

What tactics or strategies do you use with your primary CTF class?
"Be one with the FlightPack." Beyond that, shoot stuff that seems to be hindering your passage (such as walls, rocks, friendly players, the edge of the map), grab flags when I see 'em, yell at my team mates when they don't attach when I tell them to, and generally be an intolerable ass.

Have you any advice for those who just began playing your primary CTF class?
Don't be a shotgun-toting lamer-raper, like I once was. Kill with your trusty AR, and disorient (or dismember) them with the random fling of your grenading arm. Also, don't try to be cool, like Stechen, and take on an entire team at once. You will die, like I do. It hurts your ego.
But seriously, don't meander off and ignore your team. As an Infant, it is your duty to uphold the structure of your team. Attach loyally and assault the enemy base conservatively. Defend your own base ruthlessly. Do not be afraid to ask for support, you will need it.

What is the biggest change from the Infantry you first played and now?
The change from ultra-swanky TJO to ultra lame-ass "Skirmish." Ooh, Skirmish. Yay, let's go play some Skirmish! La la la, I suck, I suck, tra dee doo.

Do/Did you participate in any other Infantry-related matters? If so, in what capacity?
Infantry-related matters? Um, I guess KINDA. I was a Boomball X referee, once upon a last year. Oh, and I'm a newsposter here at NMEbase, which is why I get an interview. I did it all for the interview. This interview IS getting posted, right? :P
*poke* Right, Snipez? Snipez? SNIPEZ!

What is your most memorable experience in Infantry?
The people. There are some really nice people on Infantry, and I love each and every one of them. SERIOUSLY, though, I'm hoping a memorable experience is on its way.

If you could change one thing about Infantry, what would it be?
Oh god, I would change the most blatantly obvious thing thats wrong with Infantry! I would fire Yankee's ass! NO, I'm kidding. I am so kidding. I love you, Yankee.
I would fix the lag.

What would you rate Infantry on a scale of 1-100 right now?
70 decimal something. It's lacking laglessness, BBX, TJO. There's much too much downtime. The Moderators are friendly; TOO friendly (SCARY friendly).
