Old School means that regardless of whether we "need" tanks, they're still darn fun to play and nice to have on a team. And I apparently never make it on those lists either.  |
This hehehe.

Well, Angry_Citizen just posted a goodbye message because he's leaving for college and won't have time for CoX anymore. He joined in 2004 (making him old school) and is 18 years old. So i'm guessing new school means just starting to notice gender differences and dreaming of getting a driver's license some day?|

So, you new schoolers may have noticed hair growing in places it never did before, skin blemishes appearing, mood swings and urges you never had before. It's called Chronic AE Poisoning, and the only cure is to avoid the AE buildings and give all your inf and set IO's to someone with 36 month or higher veteran badges.
If you don't do this very soon you will gradually become the Angry German Kid from Youtube.

If the OP is "old school" then I must be a dinosaur, been playing on and off since the game launched.
Heh, that means Even I'm Old school. Joined just before I8. >_>

Wait, wait, wait.
When the **** did I start supporting the idea that Tanks were necessary? Who the **** did they actually think they were talking about? What a ******* *******.
OTOH, I will admit to being old school. I walked to school. Not in the snow cuz it was ******* Texas, but dammit, it was still uphill in both directions. And lava. Yeah, lava. Don't question my stories, *******.

In terms of the game, I guess I am "old school" too. But I don't think that Tankers are necessary...They're great to have, no doubt...But usually not necessary. Now, team with mah Mastermind! My zombies will herd for us, I swearsies.
to many ppl worring about getting on somone list. Just try to stay off ppls S-list.
back in the day I went to school when there was a foot of snow and made forts with our hands, now days we have gloves and plastic molds for bricks and snowballs. Half the fun is gone.

Back to the basement you!
Bah, whippersnappers.
Old School is someone that remembers the 5 minutes that being */Dev blaster was FotM because Smoke Grenade was bugged so bad you could debuff entire missions into auto-miss oblivion.
THAT'S Old School.
You youngsters and your IOs and capes and ED and all that. We got SOs and were _thankful_! I remember when the Respec was hard! When Perez was -the- place to go at level 7...
