Yeah I have the game. I'd love to play but the wife is watching tv on media center right now. I'm straight scared as I can't remember for the life of me how to create a decent hound or control it for that matter.

Well we had good times, didn't we, but it looks like it's all coming to an end.
Sega is pulling the plug on the servers 7 January 2010.

I guess not many people are playing it nowadays, huh?
Or maybe they are gearing up for Chromehounds 2 (let me dream!).

Oh man.. even though I haven't played for awhile, this is sad news.
Some of the best times I've ever had playing online.

Really upsetting news. I haven't played the game in a while but me and my bros wasted a great summer on Chromehounds back in the day and I'll always have fond memories of squad play in that game. Here's hoping to a sequel being made by some freak chance.
Man, I wish this was true, but that seems extremely unlikely, if there was a sequel in the works it would make sense to announce it before you announce the shutting down of the service.Jonnyram said:
Oh well, such is life, I will definitely make a farewell tour before the servers shut down.
Phthisis said:
Only 4 months left. Anyone want to fire up their mechs for one last send-off?
Twas some good times for sure.... Fond memories for sure. We had some great co-op for sure..
I'm not online anymore with the 360 but hope your doing good man. I'm doing about as well as a guy with a new hot girlfriend can do - meaning I'm not playing all too many games anymore. If I still had Chromehounds though, I would definitely give that a final sendoff.
I think I probably put more time into that then any other 360 game
It is a real shame there is not a sequel.

Hopped on with a couple of old squad buddies last night and there were actually a few battles going on. Had some fun.
I'd have to go get it again - I haven't played it in a while and I miss the GAF Squad 13, so of the BEST times happened on that game in my lifepurg3 said:
Like the game where I singlehandedly saved everyone in the winter map, in my Sniper mech, killing all the stupid missile stackers :lol :lol

Gamestop has this used for $9.99, you guys that got rid of the game need to go pick it up.
dude, what about those rednecks we stomped like 3 matches in a row, and then they send that crazy fucking voice msg to you. I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. that and the whole "can't see shit" match was classic. good times. :lol

oh SHIT dude I forgot about the voice msg! that shit was AWESOME, and we were justified in our beatdowns, we had the better skills.purg3 said:
Most of my favorite matches were sideswipe wars in capital cities, stomping through the towns, palms sweaty, hearing the crunch crUNch CRUNCH of footsteps getting closer, or the dead heat of the night waiting for lights to flash from the first fires of the conflict.
Sure thing man, if you see me online shoot me an invite, that was some good good times.purg3 said:
Ahh yes, I still remember that time when you no scoped a missile tower with your last sniper round to win a match, such good times, so many awesome moments.Maxrpg said:I'd have to go get it again - I haven't played it in a while and I miss the GAF Squad 13, so of the BEST times happened on that game in my life

And it's only goes to show how awesome this game is, how many games do you know where you remember a kill (that your teammate made no less) that happened 3 years ago?
Damn that was gold.purg3 said:
Do you remember the guy with the freaky myspace page where he posed in a trench coat and hunting rifles?
p.s.
I almost forgot the human handicap, AKA Joates, "DUDE GOT JACKED UP!".

And even i am moderately surprised
it's weird - every single time we played , the wife would check the location of whoever we were playing against.
If they were Japanese, we knew they'd just sit around their base waiting to get battered.
If they were american, they were likely just going to rush straight up at as
and if they were european, they'd always have a team of very mobile spikers and would just bumrush the base no matter what.
Hmmm - been thinking of putting together some sort of CH <3 <3 video.

This is so much the truth! I noticed that happening a lot too.WhiteAce said:
Tomorrow I'll let you guys know if I get the game back again. Shouldn't be too hard to reacquire, though I haven't purchased AAAAAny of the new weapons/addons at all! :lol
Chichi: dude, I SO remember I no scoped that shot! I remember it well - GOOOOOOD times.
If I get the game again, I'll be fiercely recruiting some peeps to THROWDOWN with the FIGHTIN' THIRTEENTH.
(Rereading this thread is AWESOME!)
(Edit: I ALSO have to look up the details and play with the weapons to get used to the new way some of the weapons work.)
I was a little human dude running under your feet shouting at you to go suicide because there's no way you're taking him with 1 round and gun camera.Maxrpg said:
Seeing it from that POV made it extra awesome.
Man, just think if this games had Halo 3-esque replay recording.
So many awesome moments.
Dude, you could write an EPIC MOVIE based on that scenario! :lolChichikov said:
Running from his Hound, Chichikov brings an impassioned plea to his Leader, Twilight. "Twilight, for god's sake man, they have us controlled, contained, constrained! WE CAN NOT WIN THIS WAR!"
Twilight, sweat rolling down his fingers, sweat rolling down his head, heat seeming like the jungle, even as the wind rages chilled snow outside, breathes heavily. His Hound is dilapidated, pieces spattering electric buzz, and worst of all, his sniper scope is shot. "I don't care. I'm taking the shot."
Chichikov screams into his weather-beaten mike. "You can't make that type without your scope!"
Twilight's fingers itch and his mind races like it was burning down the track. The enemy Hound comes into his view, ever so slowly.
"I'M TAKING THE SHOT!"
*sound of a sniper rifle firing, fade to black*
would be amazing
the lighting effects in this game are still pretty impressive. the night maps were awesome because it would be all dark and silent at first--and then after a few hundred yards you start to hear the rumbling of shells exploding, and then the sky lights up with tracers shooting through the sky.
god I love this game so much. I am going to try to borrow it from my friend tomorrow instead of buying it (considering he does not play often). If I can get him to play too that would be awesome but I dunno how good he would be (not that good at games like this :lol)purg3 said:
I'll just borrow it instead
God I love those screenshots. I think it's so pretty, even now. The desert shots are amazing.

ugh, not played in so long - did quick night mission (regular mission stuff, no CPU battle) to try and get a taste of the WARRRR!
hopefully it makes people see what Xbots were going nuts over THREE WHOLE YEARS AGO.

video still processing, so low quality now, but will get better later - mainly captured for the NOISE.
Come see , non-believers, what 3 years ago looks like in the land of awesome!

I can confidently say I would not only buy Chromehounds 2 the first second it came out, but I would also be willing to pay a monthly fee to keep Chromehounds going as long as Sega just kept pumping out new maps/missions/parts/mechs.
