And, I'm pretty sure most people can find out the share method for GG's, but it's not something I think a lot of the playerbase who might want them, would be interested in. Either for security reasons, or perhaps simply not really knowing anyone who could do it. The Golden Guns were easy to come by, early on, because a lot of people pre-ordered, and they were on Ebay, but the codes are obviously long-expired, by now, and that portion of the playerbase is much smaller, anymore.
I do think it's pretty cool, overall, and I do expect to see more players pick the game up. Unfortunately, I don't see this prompting ND to do anything to fix some of the issues with the multiplayer right now, which is unfortunate. If we could see some kind of update, or some kind of legitimate progress, towards a fixed online experience, I'd probably be a lot more excited. I think it's cool the shotty lab will be back, for a short bit, I had a ton of fun with that, but really, the Lab's haven't been all that interesting, and I'm getting so close to burning out on the MP right now.
I've played it almost exclusively for a year now, hit my X, and I don't feel any motivation, nor incentive, to hit XX, or XXX. Donut Drake and Skelzor were a big push for me, towards the end, especially after seeing Vash get his, and these skins just don't have the same effect. I was proud to hit my X, without any major double-cash shenanigans, either, I only really got the...second one in the game, and I was still too low-level to really take advantage. These just don't feel the same, anymore. The spawns are awful, the matchmaking is either spot-on for the night, or complete rubbish all night, and Plunder is still plagued by the horrible spawns that Naughty Dog have been working on, for the last infy months. They know it's a problem, they know we hate it, they know all about it, yet...nothing. For months upon months now.
With airwalk and the Plunder Glitch being more and more prevalent again, I can't help but wonder where this will end up. I've sent videos to the crew myself, of people doing it, and thanks to a few people, I was able to understand how exactly it worked, and was able to be detailed as to the method of achieving it. I'm just...seeing a lot less reason to be logging on, right now. I really hope ND is able to step-up, and take care of the Plunder issue, even if they never fix the spawns, and at least answer the new Airwalk before it becomes a major issue again. As amusing as it is, to watch cinemas of glitchers who can't even get a kill outside the map, with an entire FAL, it's still annoying to play through, and deal with.

1.09 has been out for a while now. I'm expecting 1.10 around the end of October at the earliest because of the busy month.

I love skeletons for the competitive edge more than anything. I would love to play as dutch though. Endlo, are you still play lots of MW2 and CC? Cause I need someone to own people with and Charlitos keeps bailing on me.

What kind of gameplay advantage do you get with the skeletons? The fact that they don't speak? If so then you could just use any of the PS heroes.

The fact that they don't speak and that their colour pallet is rather good as camouflage to people with smaller TV's. Do you guys think I swear excessively in game? I got told I should tone it down and I just what your guys' honest opinion.

I think I might swear more than you. But then that may happen when I game with randoms as opposed to the clan/friend peoples.

Haha, as long as its not insulting to anyone on a personal level, I don't mind at all. If its done wth finesse you just get a few laughs out of it, but I hate it when random douche guy goes over the line and say something about someones mother or wishing death upon someone or anything like that.
I do get my share of gaming rage, especially when drunk, but luckily enough thats a rarity.
I'm thinking of going for the plat again, I really miss rocking Marco & Genghis
On another note, something weird has happened - I play better with the FAL than with the AK. It feels good, sure, but I get frustrated now as I cant kill anyone with the AK, haha.

See? All my rage against that gun is completely justified. Completely.
And, you don't seem to swear excessively, Silver. Then again, I'm not sure many people do, compared to me. I curse all the time.
As far as as the skeletons go, Street, they have a few advantages. They have no set of audio cues, as Silver mentioned, they blend in well, and don't often stick out. It an be pretty easy to skip over a skeleton sometimes, if you're just scanning through an area quickly. Another advantage to them, is that people still do not understand their hitboxes, sometimes, so you can get kills for free, on people who are still trying to line up shots. Much like Donut, there is still quite a bit of confusion occasionally, as to what you can hit on them, and what you can't.

Yeah, I know they don't speak. But the PS Heroes such as the Helghast Solder don't have audio cues as well. I rock the Helghast Solider and have noticed he doesn't speak, along with using Nathan Hale in the past.
Usually I try not to swear cuz people are always home most of the time at my house. If they're not though, sometimes I can get into swearing alot. Guess it's part of being Italian lol.

AK for teh win fools. But seriously if you encounter someone that doesn't have alot of experience with the AK and you have your fal then go nuts all over their face (yes I went there). Remember kids if their body is by cover then T-bag away.
So the final verdict is I don't swear "too much"? Well then **** you _________, you ****in' son of a ***** ***hole licker **** sniffer ****in' nut greaser.

Wow.
Swearing doesn't bother me, it's not like I'm not around it. I do occasionaly swear, but not excessively at all. I've always found it funny when I'm in a public place and an adult says f***, and then they start to freak out that I've heared. I know that they're just trying to be respectful, I've just always laughed at it.

Had a really good day to day with two furies, then I go to mow the lawn and boom, playing like crap. Oh well.
EDIT: third fury, almost got a fourth but I had invalid and CGS and couldn't get cover fast enough.
