Really disappointed with The Sunken Ruins. It's big, it's pretty, it's boring. I'm not sure if it's because the maps are still being learned, but every game so far has been just run-and-gun AK fights, I've yet to see a power-weapon fired.

It feels like they copped out a bit with the power-weapon set-ups, as well. Sniper/Hammer/Deagle. It's just kind of un-inspired, and I wish they'd have given us a bit more variety. I really do want to love the Facility though, and I'm hoping that strategies will improve as people play on them a bit more, and learn them.

Good games earlier today, Spongey. You got to stop with putting yourself down though, Uncharted is one of those games where it's real hard to get out of a rut when your game's off. It just seems like everybody knows where you are all the time and every corner has some noob with a Pistole waiting around it. You just keep on truckin' and it'll turn around for you.

LoL @ the match in the village where they all ran through the Hammer spawn at the same time, I got a streak off them just at that point, in the end I got caught on the reload but it was crazy... I don't know what they were thinking.

I'm level 39 ATM, Ender, still a way to go before 40... Maybe I should grab a stat-card, keep tabs on how I'm ranking up now I'm a regular player.

Uncharted is a rough game, when you're in a rut. Especially with the new update, now that it's more unforgiving to not being fully aware of your surroundings. If you're having an off night, it's going to take a bit to pull up out of that nosedive. It's just the way it goes, really. I imagine CoD is the same way, with being so fragile.


Gettin' up there, Leo. Sounds like you pulled some pretty crazy stuff earlier.


Played some more earlier, and I stand by my statements, earlier. People just aren't using the power-weapons on the new maps. I've caught people up top by the Deagle spawn, and it's just laying there. I've seen the Hammer used once, on Sunken Ruins, and it was one of my buddies, who got shipped over to the other team for an Elimination.


I was tearing it up on Facility earlier, with the Sniper, and people seemed surprised at being sniped. Again, the only person I've really seen using the Hammer there, was Chad, when he got shipped over, or aqua. I dunno if it's because I'm just not running into them, based on the size of the maps, or if they're simply not being used. I don't quite understand, though.

Or maybe a lot of people aren't sure where they are yet hehe.

It's definitely possible. I'm hoping that map strategy evolves a bit, soon. Right now, I really do like Facility, but I find Ruins to be really boring, still. It's a cool looking map, it's just very simple, and right now, as I said, it feels like run-and-gun with some grenade lobs are pretty much the only thing going on, in it.


The Facility is big, and open, there's a lot of high-ground-ish spots, where you can get some nice FAL shots, and there are a ton of flanking opportunities on the map. I don't know about Ruins, but aqua was telling me about a glitch already on Facility, but I've not yet seen it firsthand. According to him, you can glitch through the sliding door, by the open bay, and actually stand outside of the map, on some of the piers, that are visible from the bottom level, by the U-boat.



Haven't played too much today, unfortunately. Been working on some Magic concepts, with Vash, and enjoying my time off.

After last night, I'm a little frustrated with the game. Played in two separate lobbies, filled with high-levels. That's great, I'd love to have a good game, but when you're an X, and the only thing you can do is glitch out, that's pathetic. Aqua and I just quit the second game, after the guy glitched out.

It's just like numerals who won't rock negatives, which is some rapidly increasing trend. I refuse to let myself rock two positives, until I hit X. Then I can go back. I have no issue with anybody X using two positives, and I've even played against a few who rock double-negatives, and still wrecked my day. Those are people I can look at, and desire to emulate, not some stupid IX or VI, who's too scared to rock his Badge, for fear of going negative, or who has to glitch, to earn his wins, and his level. I've even stopped using Rapid Hands or DtI, in lieu of Veiled, until I hit 57, and can finally have Glass Jaw and Half-Loaded.

loL@ every1 uncharted sig.....
omg you guys are missing the one thing they forgot to put in the new maps....
NO PROPANE TANKS......
seriously how am i ment to be getting my BBQ's
I hav to even get more now that Raistlin dosnt come on anymore......

I was wondering about that too! I Was totally exxpecting some Tanks in the facility at least! And I'll be back on you can be sure of it. Bio 2's online is a fun diversion but just not enough to hold me. Once I get through trophy getting in the single players of Bio 2/Heavy rain etc you'll see me again for sure

We miss you Raist!

And...I miss everyone. Why y'all gotta have the fat PS3's?

Hey man, because I wanted the B/C on it

But right now I'm keeping my console off until Sony gives the green light to be safe.

Absolutely. No reason not to. Hopefully it'll all be resolved soon.

It's just not the same, man. We need you Raist! Aqua and I are holding it down as best as we can, though. We do alright.

yeah edlo, we do alrigth every now and then....
the only reason i think they didnt have propane tanks was cuz there was not any in the original uncharted, ah well
good to hear you're coming back Raist.. O and they were saying something on the naughty dog site about chaging the limb gun shots back to normal.. so they are actaully classified as limb shots not body shots, which means they become weaker.. which results in longer life... meaning "the ESRAISTLIN" is happy again and we can all have a jolly time on U2 once again....
F*ck you mate!!

I will not f*ck you mate. Unless you got M!lk.....

We pulled off The Cake Is A Lie the other day. Would you like some Cake instead?

Also, is that MILf M!LK, or something else, now?


DRAAAAAAAAAAAAKE! was still the best.

Leo hits big 4-0 shocker!

Yes folks, ignore the Glacial progress of the stat-box update below, I hit teh forties this morning with some uber-cool GUNSLINGERyness in the Plaza. What is it about Numerals that makes them want to camp the shotty all the time, huh? He got flanked and headshot straight away, then I proceeded to grab his SPAS 12 and take down the rest of his team with it. So easy to do with the DLC skins as they don't let you know they're coming like the others... Nathan Hale FTW!

In other news, I wasn't sure I would actually get a decent game this morning... Eight host migrations in the first three games. Kind of annoying that it restarts you every time, too, rather than letting you carry on in the position you're in.

And welcome to the Nation, Knux... Hope to catch you in game sometime.

Congrats, Leo. I don't mean to scare you, but welcome to the biggest grind in the game. The late-fourties are going to feel like they take forever.

Good job on the SAS-sneakiness, too. I didn't get to play too much this weekend, I'm hoping to maybe get some time in tonight, if I don't get home too late. Still gotta get used to the working routine.


Cole totally lets people know he's on his way. He glows. I've gone back to using the skeletons for now, once I start to pull back up out of my rut, I'll switch back, and switch it up a bit. Maybe get some Zeke action rolling.


Knux has actually been here longer than me, I think. I know we each signed up right before Christmas, he's just too busy going to see Tiesto, and crowdsurfing, and causing chaos somewhere in the club-scene in Australia, to hang out with us.

hey leo thanks
yeah I think i signed on probaly day or 2 b4 endlo, just beeeeen busy
that time of the year for festivals..
i just played so average in uncharted tonight.. NOT HAPPY .. I'll have ot reddem myself tomorrow
Endlo, hurry up and bring the shrimp bud, my babie os waiting for yooh

Hey, when we hit X, I'll totally plan that trip. Shrimp on the barbie has to happen. We'll get Raist and Bastick, and it'll be a giant party. We'll even get Tiesto, man.

leo, good job buddy!!

hahahaha
I should put on sum Tiesto when we next play uncharted... might make us that lil bit better
o and btw Endlo that U2 background is sick
thanks

No problem, man. I really liked that shot, it's my background right now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. There might be a cooler shot on Facility or Ruins, but as for the original maps, I'm pretty sure Temple is still the prettiest. Just looking through the map, some of the subtle detail was really impressive, like the flickering candles in the hallway, and things like that. Just little stuff.


Tiesto might help. I'm pretty sure any untz might help, but I'm not sure if Raist likes untz, and I know Vash isn't very big on it. I'm hoping to get some playing in tomorrow. You gonna be on, Knux?

what shot is this you speaks of?

Ill be on today and yep tomorrow
my usual time...
um Raist in the temple where the shotgun is, there is a massive statue behind it and I told Justin how good it looked and he told me he had it as his ps3 wallpaper, so he hooked me up..
rather beautiful Id say..
everytime I look at it, it reminds me of endlo.... >.>

Yo Aqua!
Can I send ya an invite buddy? Looking for people that play U2.

Yeah sweet man
no probs...
im just really looking forward to the next update, hopefully they reduce the weapon strength a lil.. cuz its really doing my head in atm... :/

lmao, alright dude, send you one when I get off in the morning.
