It was a little nice of him, considering he was on the other team, and all. I even killed stuff with it, which is great, since...I never do that with an RPG. Epic fail with that thing, seriously.


I was pretty happy with it. Sorry I missed you earlier, Charlie. I had to grab dinner, so I didn't stick around to see if you were UC2'ing or what.

I also learned that while Come Get Some is the coolest booster ever, in theory, that I will never run it. Egomaniac is a cool medal, but it's just not worth it, seriously. Maybe it'd be better on a bigger map, but the guy with it on Sanctuary got almost no action. As expected, he just couldn't get any kind of drop on anyone. It was rough.

Don't worry about it Endlo, I was actually busy running around in the Fallout 3 DLC I bought with my leftover PSN $

Haha @ Raistlin

u2=FUN, that is all.

Absolutely. Glad you're enjoying it, Sponge. Have you ventured into the multiplayer yet, or are you just working through single-player, yet?

I first played online for about 2 hours before playing campaign, and I must say...WIN.

Nice. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll get a request sent your way tonight, when I hop on. Usually playing with Raist and a few buddies, and playing with a full set is so much better than hoping you get a decent team.


Knux and I tried to 2-5 it, after a buddy left, but we couldn't compete with our 40 going neg-12.

FYL.

lol, I keep going negative but its so much fun I dont care.
Looking forward to playing sum games with you and Raist!

Nice, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Yeah, Raist, that was definitely a FML moment. We fought soo hard, but it happens. You can't win them all, unfortunately.

Also, DRAAAAAAAAAKE was brilliant.

[DRAA]
[AAAA]
[AAAA]
[AKE!]


F'ing classic

YOU WILL NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF DESTINY! DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

I enjoyed it.

Unfortunately SNAAAAAAKKEE!! Didn't go off as well. Too bad they didnt have MGS characters available for this. That would have been sweet.

Yeah, SNAAAAAAAAKE! would've been great. We need some infinite ammo headbands.

I fear Vash's headband powered GAU, though. Maybe it's not such a good idea.



A lot of people were surprised with Snake not making an appearance. I hope he will eventually, it was awesome being able to play around with him in Smash Brothers.

Sorry about that last game, Raist. I froze up, and it's going on 5 in the morning here. I'll catch you tomorrow, though.

I sent that 30-1 game on Fort, proof that camping totally works. All it takes is From The Hip and a FAL.


Invalid is scary. Already annoyed with getting punched out randomly, but it comes with the territory, and the massive cash. Still getting used to it, so I'm not very useful, right now. The game with Optimuslove wasn't too bad, played pretty aggressively and went 11-2 with it.

Getting one punched is definitely fristrating. Trust me. I've been stuck with it since 57 and will continue to be stuck with it until I max out. Ugh. Argh....Rawr....

But you'll find it does make you better since you'll get used to dying so easily - once you lose it you'll feel invincible almost hehe.

Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to getting to 54 so I can rock Half-Loaded for a while. I'm not quite halfway to 53, but I should be able to make a good run on it, if not hit it tonight, and then hopefully keep a similar pace and get to 54 within a few days of decent playing.

Good games with Leo, earlier. Sorry that we each had a bit of a connection SNAFU, and then I had to run on you, but it was nice getting some games in, and getting to chat with you a bit.


I'm getting a little more used to running around with Invalid, but it's hard. I keep running into people who run in pairs, when I'm not playing with you guys, so it's a struggle to even trade, under twice as much fire. I'm working on it though. Went pretty positive with Invalid/Treasure Bearer in DM, earlier, so that helps. Gotta get that double BBQ still, though.

Invalid and treasure bearer! Good god man you ARE insane

I would think you would use something to help you stay alive like fleet foot or scoped in or something of those sorts. You got more guts than I, mhmm.

I had to prowl around with a tank. Gotta get that dubs BBQ. Treasure Bearer is the best way to go about that. Plan flopped about twenty seconds in, when a teammate popped my Tank, but you gotta stay the course.

Scoped In is something to consider, actually. The default for me, since it's been unlocked has been Fleet. It's just so good. Obviously I should just rock Launch Man. We play with enough Hammer maps. Ugh.


Vash made a good this morning, when we were talking about how I was doing last night, as an Invalid. You can't charge into a fight, obviously, but at the same time, you still need to be about as assertive, in picking fights. I had a little bit of trouble with that, last night, being a bit gun shy because of it. Need to work on it, I've been averaging my 10 kills so far today, so it's getting better. It definitely changes your perspective on a map, and how you need to approach confrontations.

Hey, if you're getting 10 kills with half health, thats saying something.

Aside from picking your battles I would also say map/match awareness is also very key. Being aware of potential of spawn points. Where is the action happening or....where is it not happening (yet). Where did someone on our team just die? Being ready for whats around corners to get that all important first shot etc.....that stuff is huge in this since there are just SO many angles to get scrwed over hehe.

Yeah, having a much more acute sense of map awareness, and where the action is going, is definitely very important. I'm still working on having to re-master that. It's definitely an experience, and one that'll help you grow as a player, you just have to roll with the bad games, as they come. Sometimes you'll go negative, sometimes you'll go negative badly, and sometimes you'll scrape by and go even. Comes with the territory, but overall, I've been going at least even, and usually slightly positive.


Did you get a chance to watch those Fort games, Raistlin?


I feel kinda cheesy, but sometimes you just gotta roll with that Hammer or that RPG, too. A kill is a kill, and it gets you that much closer to the second Get Off My Lawn.

I'm just over halfway to my 53, hoping that I might be able to hit it tonight, after I hop back on, but it depends on how many people are gonna be on, I think. I'm hoping by around mid-week I'll have my 54, though. That's the goal. Hit that silver, and get some better Badges.

Sounds like you've got another fan besides Tux, Raistlin.

Welcome to the forum, Nymo. Always great when we get to add a new member.
Pop over into the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and say hello, if you would.
By the way, the sigs in your thread all look very nice. Like the Bleach avatar too.

Im going to jump on U2 after playing MAG for a bit later today. Anyone want to join me?

Ill be horrifically rusty, but bear with me.

Welcome to the forum, Nymo. Always great to have some more gamers around.

And, not at all. It's just a hobby of all of ours, I think, and most of us just happen to be competitive about it, as well.

First off, the Marco Polo and Genghis Khan skins are not tied to a level. As soon as their unlocked, you're able to use them. Marco is awarded upon receiving the Platinum, and Genghis opens up for purchase after beating Crushing, for 1.5 million. They're a nice thing to have, because they're completely silent, as are the new skins available through the DLC.


Just starting out, I think the best boosters are by far Down the Irons, and Fleet Foot. Fleet increases your movement speed while aiming down the irons, which lets you move back and forth while in a firefight, to avoid damage. Down the Irons increases long-gun accuracy while aiming, and is a huge help to the AK early on, as you're working on just getting accuracy down.

If you prefer the FAL, over the AK, then From the Hip is also a pretty good choice. It increases the accuracy of blindfire, and it helps compensate for the FAL being clunky up close.


As far as general tips, I would definitely watch Raist's vids on the maps, to try to get a feel for where the power weapons are, and an idea of the flow of each map. He gives out a lot of general advice as well, one of the more important things is to keep moving, and to use your camera effectively. Those two things are going to be the foundation of everything else, and from there, you'll develop your personal style.



Nymo, I'll definitely send you a request. I've got people from all over, and I tend to get a bit of gametime in with everyone, since my hours are so strange. It'll be nice having another new face around. If you're okay with that, just post or send me your PSN name, and I'll get it sent off.

Speaking of, Sponge, it was great to finally get some games in with you. You did really well, and it was definitely a blast to play with you.


Ratchet, I'd like to send you a request as well. I've not gotten a chance to play anything with you, as of yet, and I didn't know you played UC2.

Ratchet.....rusty or not you got right back into it nice and easy hehe. Good playing with you again. Sponge, it was great to see ya on man!

Nymo - time doesn't matter hehe. I regularly play with an Aussie and I live in Canada hehe. So, if it will happen, it will. If not, well here's a great place to meet up with others who may be on which is what this place is about

FINALLY got my level 59. 15 million to get to 60. Alas.....I shall not get to level 60 before I get bioshock 2. It just takes too much time.....argh...give me double cash! .....watch....as soon as I get to 60 they'll have a double cash weekend >_< FML.
