I think most everyone has been busy with other games like COD4 and Blue Dragon....well, maybe purge and I are the only ones playing Blue Dragon....but we were talking about Chromehounds the other day on COD4. I'm sure we'll be playing it again soon.

I am ready to go RIGHT NOW.

Got my hound with 3 HW300s and 3 analaces.

Not the quickest of the bunch but he delivers the payload.

Hey mang, I still got my copy of Chromehounds and my shotties loaded. I just have crazy bad timing. Drop me an XBL message with the Country, PW, and Clannad Name.

Also, Blue Dragon is fucking amazing.

I'll still play, but it will be tough with CoD4 and other stuff out right now. I should be able to get in a few rounds tonight though.

I believe you can still get in. I just got in yesterday because they are releasing beta keys in waves.

We have a Highlander like system in place, so you'll need to behead Joates (while Hitler sings Princes of The Universe through his communicator).
But remember, killing Joates will grant you all of his skills and abilities, which some people don't consider a good thing.

don't worry, we're easy and we got room, not sure about people at the moment, most of them are playing COD beta, stupid beta, if you like it so much, why don't you all marry it?

I regret to say that I have strayed from the dark side again and have traded in my copy of Chomehounds... Too many other good multiplayer games to devote attention to this winter... Was a very fun honeymoon while it lasted though...

Sorry to bump this old thread, but this game is timeless, so the thread is too.

Chromehounds Holiday Reunion Tour '07

The best of the best are being called back to form the most killer 'hound crew known to the citizens of Neromious(?). Seriously, would the old crew be willing to get back together for the fans? And when is best for everyone?

I really want to get back in and make it onto the squad and not miss out because of a nation switch like I have EVERY OTHER TIME.

I'm all for some Chromehounds action, but with all these great games coming out, I'm guessing it will be pretty hard to pull.

also, what about a sequel dammit?

p.s.
I still didn't have time to even try CoD4 online, hopefully I can hop on tonight and curse you all in weird unintelligible Blaki-esque insults.
That would surely get you moving to CH.

Edit: I also must shoot Hitler in the back for recommending Blue Dragon.

People still play, but all the posers have evaporated. You will have to join a Squad and learn the ropes very fast. Other then that is the best Mech game behind Mech Warrior. Does any one have any info on a sequel?

Best guess on a sequel is this E3. The original game will be 2 years old come early August. It was succesful and From has been very quiet so I'm thinking forgone conclusion.

They have a FFA mode, but most people that I played with were in the Neroimus wars. FFA seems week and I think players made really crappy cheap Hounds. You will see this in the Neroimus wars but most of them will die if you are with a good Squad.
Nothing like dominating a whole Nation with your faction.

Nice I cant wait! I really hope they have a PS3 version, or port the old one.

Every game I played had a different build. My sniper beat about half of them, maybe more.

Che, we should revive this shit. :D

The tanks with 4 howies and 2 snipes seem to still be really popular. Other than that, you have your sniper with grenade mix, your cannon with grenade mix, straight cannon mech monsters called sidewinders, due to their offset cannons on the side and then of course you have the triple singles that devastate you if you get in too close.

The city maps are still dominated by nothing but grenadiers. Hate fucking grenades, wish they would nerf the fuck out of them.

The AR mechs have seemed to die off, hardly ever run into those fuckers anymore, but once in awhile someone will pop up with a good one and kick my ass.

The game does seem to be experiencing a revival of sorts. You can generally find missions in the war for 2 to 5 players pretty easily and there seem to be more noobish to average people playing rather than the elite squads of the past.

Sound pretty fucking sweet.
If anyone want to have a quick comeback before we all get swept by the crazy holiday lineup I'm always game.
There's always room for some Chromehounds love in the Chichikov household.

Last time we played everybody stole my build, another one wouldn't matter ;).
Though I have no clue if there was another patch since then.

I havent popped this in for quite some time. Is there any sort community left of it?

The 3 different squads I've joined have all moved on to other things. It's a shame, this is one of the deepest online experiences you'll ever play.

THIS DESERVES A SEQUEL.

I just got a patch as well.
But I can't find any info on a patch after April 2007, I'm almost certain last time we played was just before the Halo 3 beta.
Oh well.
Anyway, I'm up for some good ol' Chromhounds action after the football if anyone's game.

you guys have most likely played a bunch of games since the last time you fired up Chromehounds. The patches only stay on the internal cache for so long before they are overwritten by patches for other games. You most likely are re-downloading the same patch you did in April 07.

As for me, I'm not rebuying this game for the 4th time... I'll put any mech desires into AC4A

Chromehounds is a very fond memory though, probably the most time I have spent on a 360 LIVE game, and I'll pay off Chromehounds 2 the first day it is available for preorder if it ever gets announced.

4th time a charm!

Anyway, popped in for a bit, surprisingly, quite a lot of activity there, plenty of war battles to choose from.
If anyone's game I'm free after the game.

To say that online multiplayer is intimidating to a beginner is an understatement. It almost sounds like an MMO.

It has a relatively high learning curve, mainly in the build, but the game itself is pretty simple.

Just played some free for all.
Lots of people, plenty of new ones as well, didn't encounter any cheesers.
Good times, I'm online now btw if anyone want to jump in.
