I'm not sure what my availability this evening is... I'm going out to the pictures straight after work and then having dinner so it could be 9 or later before I'm back. If I'm not online when you're putting a team together don't worry about it.
As for BF4, it's a shame it's taken so long to get it into a good state. I'm pleased that Hardline has been pushed back to Spring 2015 so they can polish it, definitely lesson learnt by DICE I think. Hardline looks a bit...eh though. I played the Beta and got to play it at EGX too. It's fun but I have problems with the premise. To me they haven't gone far enough to distinguish it from mainline BF games. It's still got "Battlefield" on the box so it has to play like Battlefield which means sacrificing some of the authenticity of the cops and robbers theme. For example, anyone can parachute. Engineers (subtly renamed Mechanics) can carry stinger missiles, you know, like bank robbers don't. I think the result will just be a Battlefield game with different skins and a few new modes.
That said, the new mode I played at EGX, Hotwire, WAS fun. Basically Conquest except the flags have been replaced by vehicles you can steal or destroy, so there's a lot of chase combat, and being able to shoot from the passenger seat of a car during a chase is great fun and I imagine the game will be far less predictable with objectives you can move around rather than the static objectives we're used to.
Well last night was a disaster. not only was the friends list for psn absolutely broken.
The people I managed to eventually got in had very little clue as to what to do so a hail of deaths happened, no progress made, but it was still kinda fun, just wish my mates were actually around after saying they would be, not being there was quite annoying really.
But whatever it's friday night and I'm gonna get drunk tonight!
I just really went off battlefield after 4 I just can't trust it and also I played hardline at EGX and absolutely hated it for some reason, it just screamed reskin and most of the modes didn't really fit into a police car chase sort of thing, which is a shame as it could have been really awesome!
Just finished the raid. It's not so bad when you are with people who listen and work together.
Need to do it on hard mode now and I still want to keep playing crucible.
Battlefield games scare me - the PvP in Destiny feels chaotic and daft so I like it.
.
Congrats! Wish I had a team that would listen last night, at one point the relic carrier decided to play as a tank, which ended horribly.
still I learned a lot last night anyway, I have the Oracles locations burnt into my head now.
I just want to get this out the way so I can go back to crucible.
