What's wrong with Dynasty?

I was refering to their losses in the US- they are sharing their "sandbox" (their division & league) with more and more top caliber pro teams. Naughty Dogs seem to have slipped a bit from last year's reliable 2nd place.

Also, they lost to Arsenal, which is one of those new pro teams making things so difficult. This sort of supports my thinking- they haven't lost anything (that they didn't gain in 2003 when all the other top pros were in a different league).

Now, thanks to the evolved versions of the Halo's (v board, Empire, intellifeed) they can be reliably used all the time (last year most people said they loved the Halo but it was too tempermental to use consistently so opted for the safer (but slower) egg) and provide far greater firepower.

This greater firepower seems to see teams breaking far more conservitively than last season (well if the vids and DVD's I watch are anything to go by ) and just mowing lanes until they are up on numbers and then start to move and apply pressure.

i think you may have somthing here Ben Frian surviving a break out in a xball or pro game is becoming harder and harder. This became aparent by the sausages in xball i wonder if this will move across to 7 man?

Agreed, from what i saw in Denver of many of the pro games in Denver, and Toulouse, and in genereal this season, in the first 5 seconds of the game there are usually a few players from both teams leaving the field. It seems to be that whoever has a numerical advantage in the first 5 to ten seconds wins the games. The way most fields are now set up it is hard for any teams to lock down the fields like in last season. If you were number down, locking up and taking a few bodies didnt seem to be that hard to do. Now its much harder.

Fabio421...

Thanks for the history lesson dude, I 'really' had no idea they were doing that with their guns....patrick told me there was alot of superglue missing around that time but sheeesh, thanks for the update I do miss things living in a cave ...

The guns Dynasty used were adequate enough for them to totally dominate during their time with wdp, I don't recall them having to push camera men away while removing buckets of paint from breaches. The calls for improvements falling on deaf ears, while hysterical, is bull****! Improve them how? So you can beat every team more? You frickin came 1st! Dynasty were well looked after and the guns they shot were good enough for them to win, evidently. TJ is totally right, they wanna be a true pro money making sports team, they took the money..which is fair enough...me in their position i'd have probably done the same.

You're right Matski.
WDP let Dynasty go because they did not want to match the big $ offers they were getting from a company desperate to get a team that guaranteed them wins, and all the kudos associated with winning.

In 6 months WDP have a team that can beat them up in 2 straight games, and have placed in the finals in most major events this year. I don't think anybody thought that Arsenal would get it together so quickly, except Arsenal and WDP themselves.
Not saying they are going to win everything from now on, but thier confidence going into Vegas must be high.

The Halo Intellifeed has actiually been pioneered by Frazer at WDP and the Angelforce Master-techs. It actually allows the guns to get fed up to 30 balls per second, which gives the Angel teams an edge, as the Fly, I think, is the only gun that can actually fire that fast. I heard there is a similar mod for the Evo, and that all Angel teams will be geared up with Intellifeed loaders ready for Vegas.

There is one thing that I was wondering about. Didn't the Halmones play for Arsenal at the weekend, shooting Fly's? Have they actually left the TonTon or what? How are they allowed to do that if they are sponsored by Small Parts?

From what I understand Fred and Fab have left the Ton Ton for pastures new!

What a bunch of haters

C'mon, Matski, you didn't respond to Fabio's point--which was the DynaKidz were sufficeintly unhappy with their Angels they were adding eyes and WAS boards to them and I could be wrong but I don't recall Angels with factory eyes until after the 'Kidz departed. And just 'cus they won with home-modified Angels doesn't say anything about the guns, now does it?
Seriously, I just find it very amusing that everyone wants to give credit or blame to one gun or another. Y'all almost make it sound like we don't need players at all.

As to the Shockers, while they may have some faults chewing up paint ain't one of them. I've tested numerous Shockers and have a slight connection to a team that uses Shockers that shoot amazing amounts of paint and they don't have paint breaking problems. So if the DynaKidz do, I'd look at the paint, not the gun.

1) Read my earlier post. I said they were kicking ass even before they had 'upgraded' Angels. I agree doesn't make a player better, but it CAN make him suck.

2) Agreed.

Dammit Baca, I thought you wouldn't notice

I know the gun dosnt make a single bit of difference so long as it dosnt chop, and shoots straight...other things equal..

...I agree with his point, but its not like they were forced to use none eyed guns, they won using guns they liked to use. Alex made a lame attempt to make it look like it was all about the gun, but it wasn't, thats all im saying, the guns they chose to use didn't give them reason to leave.....it was the golden offer


If strange do not have the same probs then I guess its that paint problem we've been hearing of...bunkering people without getting bursts? that has to suck
