"Hey, you might remember me as chinesewarrior, but I now play under the tag iTOTALPACKAGEi. I made chinesewarrior with my friends when I was around 10 years old. My friends and I had a clan called the warriors in Mech 1, haha. I mostly play COD4 now, but you can catch me on MechAssault every now and then."

1. Which is your favorite MechAssault title and why?
   
   "I have to go with MechAssault 2...more team elements. Mech 1 was great and all, but one person could dominate the whole game. I like both, but I played MechAssault 2 competitively, unlike Mech 1."
   
   
2. What is the first Mech you ever piloted?
   
   "Belial."
   
   
3. Were you part of any team in MechAssault? If so, which team? Would you care to share some of your team's history?
   
   "WoW - Started out by me leaving One Man Army and Martial Law recruiting me and later on Sirkill joined. I warned Martial of his shady tactics, but he didn't listen. The whole clan taking over situation happened when Martial told Sirkill he didn't want to run VTOL anymore and wanted to run a Mech. Sirkill of course said no which made Martial make other tags and play with us without knowing. Sirkill found out and kicked Martial out of the clan. This spurred Martial into changing our Gamebattles team name to Women of War if anyone remembers that. During this time he was also sending me obsessive messages calling me a traitor etc. Martial soon disappeared after this maybe sitting on the bench for La Onda on another tag...
   
   Playoff LoC story - I guess Sirkill tried to cheat into a win by using the 5 minute between maps rule, but it didn't work. He was spewing a bunch of crap of how they cheated and I asked him how and he just flipped...saying that they're whole team is a bunch of standbyers, haha.
   
   Super Smash Bros - Probably the best clan I played in. Too bad we didn't get to play Team Awesome in the finals at the drive...it would have been close. SSB consisted of me, Shaq, Miniron, Serboc , Paenis, and rob34..."
   
   
4. Did you or your team have a rivalry in either MechAssault titles? What made this team your ultimate rival? Did they see you or your team as their rival?
   
   "Nero - They hated us, haha. They thought they were good. I believe it started with some random on my team in Desolation talking **** to them and they soon after challenged us. There was a lot of verbal assault like me calling Stief George Muresan back and forth. I soon after beat two Nero members in 1v1s because they thought they were good. This led up to the March which we took 3-2 with no strategy before the map was picked. They still hated me up until GoW."
   
   
5. Name some of the Mech Pilots you played with most in either MechAssault title.
   
   "Martial, ctjeeper, bootems, game artist, serboc, miniron, shaq, quikjay, elite 507, ase 1972, and nugget0628."
   
   
6. If you could create MechAssault 3, what features would you take from each game? What new features would you add?
   
   "I would make a lot of things optional such as the VTOL, Tank, POV, etc."
   
   
7. If you could pick your "Dream Team", who would you pick and why?
   
   "Me, game artist, serboc, miniron, and shaq. I played with all these members in clans and I know they can go and not choke when the pressure is on."

Thanks for answering our questions, ICEintheVEINS!

Please join us for our next Next MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf Game Night on Friday, July 3rd at 10:00 PM Eastern.

Last week's attendance was a lot better than the previous couple of weeks and that's a good thing. We're making progress in turning this into a more active game. Let's see if we can get even more players to jump on for our game night.

I have a few ideas to help spread the word about MechAssault Game Nights:

1. If you own an Xbox 360, send everyone on your friends list a message along the lines of:
   
   

   Quote:

   "We're having a MechAssault Game Night at www.macommunity.net and I thought you might want to join in on the action."

   
   
2. During the week while you are playing, remind everyone you see that every Friday night is MechAssault Game Night!
   
3. You can add www.macommunity.net as your profile motto if you have an Xbox 360.

MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf game nights always prove to have big turnouts, but let's see if we can boost the amount of players on July 3rd. Post if you will be able to make it or try to spread the word by sending messages to your friends via the XBL messaging system! See you there!



You should notice there is a feature we brought back that allows you to choose a few options: "sign up", "not sure", or "not this time". If you know that you can be there or not, please indicate so by clicking the options at the top of this topic. We'll know to keep an eye peeled for you.

Please join us for our next Next MechAssault® Game Night on Friday, July 3rd at 10:00 PM Eastern.

If you are reading this notice via our home page then be sure to click on the "comments" link to take you to the "event registration" near the top of the screen. Once there, please click on the appropriate button: "Sign Up", "Not Sure", or "Not This Time" regarding your availibilty for this event.



By doing so, it makes our jobs much easier to recruit new players. If we can prove to them that we already have a healthy list of players, then they are 10 times more likely to go through the trouble of blowing the dust off their old xbox's.

Lets build on the great start and see if we can break our record of 59 players on in a single night!
