I'm not necessarily excited for the game, yet, but I will definitely be picking it up, if only to hang out with everyone again. I miss you guys like hell.

How are things going?

Yes, Raistlin is still a hardcore hater.

Dude you should be excited for DD. Look at that, you can't look and those two smiley faces (granted they don't have eyes) and tell me it doesn't make you a little happy inside.

Going well. Hit a small snafu with organizing the move, so I've been trying to get that cleared up, and haven't had a lot of free time, lately. Bound to happen eventually.

Reo! Mi amore!
I wouldn't miss that rubdown for the world, love.

It'll be a scary time in Uncharted multiplayer indeed, when The Reo and I are reunited again. <3


Raistlin is just a hater. Hatin' on everything good in life. I guess he's just bitter about that whole not having a soul thing. The FAL takes some funk and some rhythm, and he just ain't got it. Two left feet out there on the battlefield.

lol Endlo and Reo in U2, hate to be on the other team!

I don't hate! I love. But I love so hard that it seems like hate. Wait. Why would that make you irate? I would think it would make you feel great.

Ah , such sweet poetry .

Endlo, I can't look forward to the day enough when you come back to play. We'll kick it back up, oldschool style

Oh crap, charlitos is joining as well? Good luck to whoever is on the other end of your FALs

you guys stick to your FAL's.. I'll be standing behind you with my GAU to clean up your mess

2 furies in two games ! , that's a first for me .

That fury game in temple was such a close call eh Reo ? , I needed 4 out of the last 8 kills and then the last kill but I did it , and congrats on the double fury games too Reo .

As for FALing I'm gonna have to stick to my trusty ak and steal wolf cubs kills .

Or just pump and piss him off lol

Check out the Cat In the Hat over here, eh? Hater's gon' hate, that's fine, because I'll be more than happy to go back to stealing your kills, Raist. I may be BBQ'd every once in a while, but that's just because you're hatin' on me.

Sounds like a plan, Charlitos. I look forward to our blindfire sniper matches, in whatever new maps Drake's Deception may bring our way. Should be a great time.

Let me ask you this Endlo, what will you do if ND takes away the FAL (probably won't but still, what will you do if they take it away in DD)

If Naughty Dog doesn't have the FAL, or a suitable replacement, then I will swiftly be ejecting the Uncharted 3 : Drake's Deception disc out of my PS3, snapping it into multiple pieces, and probably throwing them out of the window.

There's a long line of steps that could, and probably would happen to the fragments that were once a copy of Drake's Deception, but they aren't exactly fit to type, or to expose any of you youngin's to.

Well now I am wondering what you would do to them but plz don't fill me in on what you would do to them, I highly doubt they would get rid of the FAL because they are too scared of you, Endlo, and your disciples Reo and Charlitos lol

Charlitos doesn't sleep with a FAL though.

he doesn't? Never really thought he did to begin with to tell you the truth lol

Hey now. That FAL Plushie was one of the best purchases I've ever made. Ever. Y'all just a bunch of haters. Except for Reo! <3

._.

I like the FAL... I just think it could be so much better if it made a duck-like quacking sound every time it fired.

I'd like a cash register chime for every AK bullet fired.

Wow, I missed a lot over the weekend!

Got it, thanks for the add!

Very strange games yesterday mitch and fawlty???

We were in a party and when it was time to play I was sent to a totally separate game

But mitch and I could still talk to each other even though we were in different matches??

Maybe we're just super intelligent and invented cross-game chat

Very strange indeed. I was so confused about that...even after you left mitch and I tried another deathmatch and got separated. Who know's what the hell was going on. I had a blast with you guys though!

I had forgot how much they teach you and how your reflexes improve.

Uh, might I ask, what are BoH's? So many acronyms to learn!

Oooh, yes....
The glitchers....the glitchers that are currently flooding this game more than ever.

One question for those of you who still play; has the lag increased?
I can hardly have ONE lag-free game anymore and always find myself matched up with south americans or asians.

I just had my first match with a glitcher (or at least I think it was my first); I sent you the cinema Reo...hope that was okay. I had no idea how to combat the guy and he just continued to kill me the whole match.

Also, how do I recognize lag in a game? I feel like I've seen it maybe once or twice but I'm not entirely sure.

Aaaand, one game against a party using the low leader glitch.

Another newbie question....low leader glitch?

Endlo-,

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Actually been reading your blog over the last few days, and I'm excited to hopefully party it up with you one of these days! You've got quite the reputation for teaching and being all around awesome! It's nice to finally meet you. =]

Sorry for the long post everyone!

Nice to meet you Fawlty. I'm sure that we'll cross paths sooner or later, and I look forward to getting to game it up with you, and hang out.

BoH refers to Badges of Honor. These are "grey" boosters, with detrimental effects, that you'll earn during your numeral levels, from 51 to 58.

They have a few different negative effects. Veiled, for instance, removes your blindfire reticle. It's not a very harmful booster, but it's also the least worthwhile Badge to use. It's the only one that requires a gimmick, to your kills, demanding 5 blindfire kills, to earn a Half-Blind medal.

The next Badge you'll come across is Invalid, at 52. This reduces your health to 50%. For every five kills you earn, under any circumstance, you'll receive a Get Off My Lawn medal.

At 54, you'll earn yourself the Half-Loaded booster. Pretty straightforward, it reduces the clip-size of any weapon you use, to half of it's original capacity. Every 5 kills you earn with Half-Loaded equipped, will earn you a Miserly medal.

Upon achieving level 57, you'll earn yourself the Glass Jaw booster. While you have Glass Jaw active, melee combat does twice as much damage to you. One hit, and you're out. For every 5 kills you earn with Glass Jaw, regardless of circumstance, you'll earn yourself a Duck and Weave medal.

Finally, at 58, you'll earn your last Badge of Honor, called Come Get Some. Come Get Some, while in use, lets opposing players see your name through walls, similar to being seen with Situational Awareness. It's also a permanent broadcast though, so as long as you're within a certain range, your name will appear through walls. 5 kills with Come Get Some earns you an Egomaniac medal.

The draw to Badges of Honor is two-fold, for most people. Those medals are worth quite a bit, so there's a large draw for players to use them, when they want to earn far more money than is typically possible, without using BoHs. The other draw to using Badges of Honor, is that they strengthen your gameplay, because you're putting yourself under self-imposed handicaps.

Half Loaded is going to force you to steady your aim, and to make sure you make your shots count. After using it for a while, you'll see your aim start to improve, more and more, to compensate, and you'll also gain some perspective, on when it's appropriate to pursue a target, or to start fire, or when it's appropriate to let them go, or to wait for them to expose themselves, and guarantee yourself the kill.

Invalid, is probably one of the biggest boosters for learning, because it's so severe. You're twice as easy to kill, and you're going to have to change your gameplay quite a bit, to achieve success while using it. It's going to teach you how to move around a map quietly and effectively, and you'll pick up some subtle tricks, to doing so, along the way. You'll also quickly learn that you'll have to make sure you start every confrontation with the upper hand, and you'll soon reinforce those habits into your play, even without having BoHs on. Things like attacking from unconventional angles, flanking, using teammates as a distraction, or my favorite, cornershooting, are all things you'll start to add to your arsenal of tricks, to increase your survivability. Also, you're going to learn to hate the 92-FS and the FAL, while using this booster.

And, since I'm sure someone *cough*Silver/Static*cough* is gonna bring up my beloved trashtalk, some people use Badges of Honor because we're egotistical jerks. Glass Jaw and Half Loaded is one of my favorite booster set-ups to use, and of course, it gives me a platform to brag from, with using two Badges, quite often, to an opposition's two "positive" boosters.

Wow what a wealth of great information...you sure do know your UC2!

I've got a while until I start working on my BoHs as I'm only in my 30's but I still have a ways to go before I can even be effective using my positive boosters! haha

Many thanks goes out to all who have helped me thus far, and the awesome parties that I've been a part of! Looking forward to many more...including with you Endlo, and you too Raist (if I ever seem to get on at the same time as you)!

Fawlty, I just finished watching that cinema you sent me.
Not trying to sound cocky, but that guy has to be the worst high level guy I have seen.
He was playing nothing but low levels and whored the PW (Hammer/RPG) and still got owned.

Then he glicthed with the FAL and still struggled to get any kills.

I'm not going to comment any further since I only have bad words for that guy right now, but you should report him to Sony, Fawlty.

Eventually you will get a "feel" for when people should die; how many bullets it takes to drop someone, how close a grenade have to be for it to be fatal or even having a stun effect on the enemy.

For instance, 2 bursts with the FAL should kill a guy, 4 shots with the 92FS should as well etc.

A small dose of lag is understandable, but when you are pumping a guy full with lead ( today I shot a guy with 2 (!) clips with the M4 and the guy brushed it off as I had shot him with small bubbles instead, then it's just unforgivable.


Good games Charlitos, you are insanely good with the sniper rifle. Teach me!
