i was in the beta and still find it very tough at times. first game in along time that has made me yell out loud in disgust and anger. fun fun game though. hard to stay away. i've played every night this week except for last night... i've been running a severe sleep deficit this week. been extra crabby because of it too.
Thanks, but I'm just chillin too. Radio? Internet Radio? I fully endorse the 2 tv's idea, it's great.dork said:
So painful, only have golf and soccer on today. And being in Canada usually only ever get Jays + whatever Sunday Night Baseball is.
Were you just recently approved? I really don't remember you from the beta thread. I find I also have really on and off days. I can be brutally inconsistent and really only tend to do well if I clearly set out to use assault rifles or snipe. If I take something like scanner and cqc to try to S Plug people I find I end up trying to force it and do really poorly overall.greenjerk said:
Sorry about that, I set the TK limit at 3 (had it at 2, but changed it to 3), I'll set it back down to 2. Next time some asshole does that post his ID in the thread or initiate a kick vote.peetfeet said:
The option is buried in the third screen when creating a game (the one with the time limit & number of rounds). There's another menu when you select the common settings in the time limit menu, you'll find a dedicated host option inside of it. Select Enable for Dedicated Hosting to turn it on.Ilparazzo said:

yeah, i was approved in May. I lurked and read the beta thread a lot. Felt like a stalker in the beta though.
Same here with inconsistency, i also run into problems if I try to force a play style onto a map that doesn't accommodate it or get inpatient and use a weapon inappropriately.
I've been playing sniper a lot and I tend to suck on maps like BB and DM modes. I'll also pick bad spots and end up running around and then find myself face to face with an assault rifle. Getting better at doing the quick switch to the blade for a quick shock and followup headshot when that happens though.
I was really good with the assault rifles in the beta but have trouble aiming and remembering to aim up for headshots in the retail version. I've been doing the "empty a whole clip into a guy so he can turn around kill me with a quick burst to the head".
I guess I need to work on a backup skill for sniper for other game modes... been thinking of trying shotty or pistol.
Killthee I thought your server was perfect. Games went a little long late night when there was only 4-6 of us but honestly I almost like a low player match better.
As for the kill camera and silent mode, I do like knowing when I kill someone. But it does make the game more intense if you are not sure. I could go either way.

The character creation tell you you can, but you can't. Going into the character appearance options only lets you remove/equip your head accessories. If you go into the clothing options you can't do anything because the only clothing/colors available to you, is the clothing/color you choose when you created the character.Teknoman said:

Yeah that is pretty lame. I guess they are going to try and sell us hats and shit. I had hoped that I could change some things after I made my guy. I guess I could start over, but I already mastered some skills. I did die allot leveling my knife skill so maybe I should restart, but then I'd just have to do it again and get allot of kills. :lol
So while this thread is actually moving again
For NA-GAF MGO Night (stolen from Kaching)
Best day of the week for you to play?
Best time on that day (be sure to indicate time zone)?
How long can you generally play in one session?
How regularly do you expect to join?
Are there any days you absolutely can't play?

SOP lock when you shoot a team member is really annoying in random games since people are idiots.
I'm standing there shooting at two enemys, this dumbass runs in and tries to CQC them IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRE FIGHT. I shoot him, I stand there with my hand up my butt waiting to get killed.

So...er, cheaters already?
Basically for my team it felt insanely laggy - movement, communication etc was smooth, yet hit detection (solely for our team) was all over the place. At times even 3 of us, surrounding one of them, would only take off half their health before one of them killed us all.
The worst thing, however, was when this certain guy (Sniper or Spider was his name... probably Spider) killed us and we spawned, we'd instantly die of a headshot from him again.
So just my team being incredibly unlucky with lag, or foul play?

I dunno what the deal is, but I've found myself on the other end many times. I'll be getting shot and I won't know where from. I'll find the original shooter then plow through him and 2-3 others sometimes. All the while wondering how I was still alive :lolHixxSAFC said:
Are we posting war stories? Let me give it a whirl:
Lag story?
I was playing in the desert map (don't remember the name now) and I was going through the side path where we have to climb those steps and suddenly I started getting shot at, so I started running back towards the dark part of the path, the shots stopped and as I was running I just appeared on the other end of map and I was being grabbed there and then I said goodbye throat it was really strange.
Legendary
In the same map I was playing a sneaking mission and in exactly the same spot I got spotted while getting a tag, so I ran back to the small space in the the path and grabbed the wall thinking "if I move they know where I am if I stay here than maybe I can live" , 2 guys came up to the spot and started shooting like crazy, they hit me some times, I had only a little health left when they started reloading I quickly move from the wall and throw both of them to the floor thinking "I WON!", when I start getting the final tag some guy shoots at me and I'm going "OMG NO!", somehow he manages to miss every shot and I win, I'll remember that game forever

the clothing thing is really pissing me off. i'm a damn green olive now and cant change it. they really shouldn't have put in the description that you can change if the only way you can is to buy outfits(which i'm sure is their plan).
also, has anyone had this happen: you die, then when youre choosing your weapons for the respawn you die again, though you don't actually die die as in someone shoots you, you just see the dying animation and you have to go through the respawn process again?

That reminds me, does anyone else think the handguns are kinda weak? It really feels like a last last resort weapon. I almost prefer to take my chances with CQC and a knife or toss a grenade than trust my fate to the handgun.
Human_Shield said:
The handguns are useful as long as you get a headshot, but I got main weapon/stun knife/nades rotation right now so I hardly use my sidearm unless I run out of bullets on my main weapon.
Thought I might switch it back so I got my sidearm as the second toggle since most servers have turned off auto aim so actually getting a stun with the knife is a lot harder then it was in the beta unless you get behinde someone

This. Reverse spawn camping is necessary (especially in Midtown).
Ahh, it was a good day, finally found dunpeal again and got the old 2 person team back together, end result I got kicked for being too good
Who says being kicked isn't a good thing? :lol
Well eurogaf ppl now that I know how to create a dedicated server (thanks dork) you can probably find a room in rosemary sometime tomorrow I don't know if my connection will handle it okay but I can still try right?
Should I PW it or just leave it like it is?

Agreed it was a great experience and the team style needs at least trust, reliability and skill to back your partner up. Of course you also need some kind of harmony(e.g. being able to foresee what your partner does) to do it, but it's worth it.
It really felt like the Meryl + Johnny scene :lol
