TTR History lesson

[LivingTarget]

Picture from Discord, for 1.1 never released outside DCLI private forums as far as I know


November 2002 - TTR 1.0 released
Servers fill up slowly, I could only get the download in the weekend after the release and I remained pretty much on the servers for a very long time.
A lot of players are coming in to check out the game and it would be normal to see the likes of 4Lom, Falcon, Destiny@work and many other players around. Soon after clans start forming, especially =D.C.L.I= and DBMM (Death by Mau Mau). It\'s fun to think about it that I chose DCLI around 23 December 2002, but it was really close between those 2 clans. You\'d either want to be in DCLI or DBMM at that time, since I am sure DBMM was the best clan in the beginning. How could it not with 4Lom (4 Love Of Money)?



For some DBMM history go to their site: http://www.dbmm.tk/


Servers get fuller over time, but TTR is still in it\'s childhood and is plagued by a number of bugs. Spawn crash/bandage bug anyone?

Jan 2003 - =D.C.L.I= get their forums which are still up at this very date.
The underlying quote from the email that came with it:

Quote:Remember... if you ride alone, you ride with HITLER.

DBMM match, historically the first official TTR match ever takes place!
Here is a little outline from our tactical forum which shows the kind of stuff we discussed by =D.C.L.I=Stink:

Quote:taking canal in brindisi - a stinky tactic

hi all

today i\'ve being asked by livint if i knew a way to take canal.
well, i have a plan that uses to work when i play ally in brindisi.
the way it goes depends on the amount of players in your team.

the most important position to take is the grey building. a barman should be placed there to kill incoming axis. they\'ll know your position very soon, so u better change your position (without leaving grey) between first floor and the floor. if you don\'t you\'ll surely be naded. if barman can\'t get grey building let a sargeant take it. just make sure u have an automatic gun there.
this tactic works well even in 1 vs 2. just make sure you are a barman whore

the second important position to take (surely the first you\'ll clean) is orange building. 1 man should clean top sniper and kill incoming axis too, shooting from door or from little window (door is better). from that pos u can kill axis that go around the river and try to snipe you from bridge.

so, 2 men can capture canal if they coordinate well and shoot sharp.

if there are more team members things are easier. you can place one in chruch bridge area to snipe sneakis axis and the rest suporting the grey and orange buildings in any position.

i hope i explained it well :con:

comments about this tactic are welcome

ive also got a bit of an idea about the canel, but its more in the clearing the buldings from over the bridge before the assult team go and capture .

When im axis on brindi i always go sniper if poss and head for the orange building and snipe over the bridge ,Living Target{Allies} was in that 2nd floor room{ the one you get into from under the 1st arch near allies spawn run up the broken wall and in looks right over the bridge and orange building} with a BAR and keeped takin me out without me knowing where he was { usually its a sniper in that room so i always keep an eye out ,but because i keeped getting killed by a BAR i wasnt looking for him there icon_rolleyes.gif this frees up the allied sniper to lie in the totally bombed out building across from the arch and he can then snipe that window in the grey building and they wont expect the sniper to be there { i got 4 lom 8 times untill he sussed me and threw a nade from that little window right over to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! }. this two man squad can keep both danger areas clear for the assult unit to cross the bridge with grenades at the ready { need to be very very carefull 1 bad nade will destroy the assult squad { seen it a hundred times 3 of us cross the bridge to assult the capture zone only to be wiped out by our own grenade fron some1 not being carefull } {PRACTICE GRENADES AS MUCH AS POSSABLE PLZ I WANT US ALL TO BE AS GOOD AS 4LOM WITH THEM !!!!!!!!!! }.

may 2003 - Beta testing 1.1 is underway, =D.C.L.I= put a strain on them by being in charge of the testing.

april 2003 - DCLI nearly collapses as Stink, Viper and An Gof leave, An Gof and Vips thankfully returned in a few months time.

This is about the time we start to think about the line:
