The Official XBox Live Gaming Schedule Pt. III

[Vryce]

This is Pt. III of our Xbox Live schedule, I assume the first one got too long. Please remeber to check back to this page for future updates and a general feel for what will be the game to play on any given day.

Part II, here (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=474780)

The Schedule as it stands is as follows.......



No set schedule presently


It seems this thread has turned into a kind of gathering place to garner interest on each particular night. Which is probably the best thing since there are so many games out currently.

Start Times are 7-8 P.M. EST to whenever people stop playing.

XBL Gamertag list by Golucky http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=425666

Use the gamertag list to send friend invites if people don't have their gamertags in their sigs. Make sure to let people know that you are from DVDtalk when sending friend request.

If anyone has suggestions for changes to the schedule, please post them here, also we can discuss the prior nights events here and that sort of thing. As a game lacks in popularity and new games come along I will change this list accordingly, so let me know when you all think a certain night is no longer necessary for a specific game and we will replace it with more popular title. If there is a title that everyone thinks we don't get to play enough maybe we can even dedicate a second night to it.

Also if anyone has Ideas for events and things that we could have that would be cool.

[UncleGramps]

We need some Gears on there.

[Save Ferris]

True. I was saying last night COD3 and Gears are both quite different and worthy of equal and separate gametime.

[tbird2340]

:hscratch: Hey wait... Isn't this thread Martin's gig?

[edstein]

:hscratch: Hey wait... Isn't this thread Martin's gig?

Looks like there's been a change in management. Definitely add GOW in there somewhere. I'll play poker and or uno anytime as well.

[alxreys]

Yeah, let's add Gears to either Tuesday or Thursday.

[Green Smurf]

I'm up for Poker and Uno any night. Just send me an invite.

[TNAJason]

I'm gonna say(again) we need a Gears of War Day,and is there gonna be a game today/tonight/Friday/tomorrow(I say this because its after 2:00 am here)?

Oh and can someone that has beaten GOW go through it with me? I suck on story mode :( That way Both I & whoever goes through with me can get gamerscore points(Me-Beating Acts,Whoever-The "Dom...." points) Mostly because if I don't find someone I will never be able to beat the game :( I have tried going in with random people and they are ASSHOLES!)

Whoever might want to help me,post here or send me a Message on LIVE.

I'm only on Act 1 (near the end though, I think), but I'm eager to try out co-op. If you see me on Live playing Gears and there aren't any MP games going, send me an invite. That goes for anyone else here that wants to play some co-op.

[Vryce]

I wanted to get it back up and to the top as the other one was closed, and no one had gotten to it yet.

I'm sure Martin won't mind that I posted it. ;)

Besides, I was partly responsible, with others as well, for the schedule concept in the first place. ;)

It wasn't solely Martin's brainchild. ;)

But he did do a good job of the implementation.

How about Tuesdays and Thursdays on the Schedule for GOW?

Monday and Friday for COD3?

[xmiyux]

Sounds good to me Canis, although Gears i don't think is my cup of tea but when they get CoD3 working better for ranked matches i'll be in those when others aren't on.... must get the medic achievement :p

[Eric D.]

I'm willing to try out GOW co-op with someone as well.

[Giantrobo]

Sorry about last night TNA and I think Ex Prime. I tried to join you guys when you sent me invites for GOW but I couldn't join for some reason. We'll meet up soon though because GOW kicks ass online. :up:

[Eric D.]

I was part of that game too. The room filled up before you got in.

[Giantrobo]

I was part of that game too. The room filled up before you got in.


Oh ok, that's cool. Yeah I had just got in on a GOW match when the invites came in so I pulled out but I guess not in time.

[Michael Corvin]

Great matches last night West, Jason, Ruben & Xtreme. That was my first experience in MP and wow, definitely lives up to the hype. Good stuff. Seemed like we were pretty closely matched also, worked out rather well.

[pizzamousechips]

You guys had matches? Thanks for telling me!

Anyway, who here is excited about Emergence Day? I know I won't be playing all 24 hours tomorrow, but I bet I'll be playing a lot. At least to get a shot at those hourly prizes.

[Eric D.]

Michael Corvin that was fun last night. Great group we had too. I look foward to playing you guys again now that I know how to pull out the shotgun. :lol:

You guys had matches? Thanks for telling me!

I don't think I have you on my friends list. I'll send you a friend request now.

[Eric D.]

Oh and Jason, I'm still up for co-op in GOW tonight if you are. I would have been on earlier but my entire building was o ut of power the whole day and they just fixed it five minutes ago.

[flashburn]

If anyone needs some help with GoW send me an invite. I'm currently on Act 3 on Hardcore, so I don't mind helping anyone else out.

[eatntae]

Michael Corvin that was fun last night. Great group we had too. I look foward to playing you guys again now that I know how to pull out the shotgun. :lol:
What am I, chopped liver? :(

no offense, L&O ;)

[Eric D.]

What am I, chopped liver? :(

no offense, L&O ;)
Of course not man, we had some great games too. I just wish I didn't suck so much when I play with you guys. It's a little embarrassing because you all are so much better then me right now. Although we did do pretty well on that noisy ass train map when I used that turret to distract those guys while you snuck up from behind and snuffed them out. That was sweet and must have pissed them off.

Sucks that whenever we play, we can't seem to get a full room. I guess we play too late for some folks. Then again, if I try to play earlier, most people seem to prefer COD3 anyways.

[Suprmallet]

Hey guys, thanks for inviting me in tonight. Was my headset coming through? I couldn't tell if you guys could hear me. Count me in for any GoW multiplayer matches you guys have if you see me on Xbox live. :up:

[eatntae]

Nope, I wasn't hearing anything you were saying.

It was fun to actually play in a room that consistently had 8 people.

[Suprmallet]

Anyone know how to get a headset working that apparently isn't working?

[Eric D.]

Sorry I ignored the multiple invites tonight guys, UncleGramps and I were going through GOW co-op on hardcore and it was too hard to pull away from. That game is amazing, especially with two people. We played through 3 acts straight! So, I should be back on later tonight and tomorrow for other multiplayer stuff.

Oh and Gramps great game man! Let me know if you want to continue and finish the game. I'm up for it. If so, I'll leave it alone so we can start where we left off.

[pizzamousechips]

Anyone know how to get a headset working that apparently isn't working?
It's not the headset. There's a problem with Gears where if you enter a player match midmatch, via invite, then you can hear them but they can't hear you. The only way is to enter it before the first match starts, as far as I know.

[Suprmallet]

That's a weird setup, but at least we got in some more hours of solid gaming afterwards. :up: Again, if anyone sees me online and wants to play GoW co-op or vs, send me an invite.

[pizzamousechips]

Definitely some good solid gaming. :thumbsup: We'll have to do that with the other DVD Talkers later.

[SteelgearX]

I'm down for some Gears goodness. Played mp for the first time last night, and I gotta say the game is super fun with friends.

[UncleGramps]

Yeah, it was pretty awesome. They are not kidding when they call it Hardcore difficulty - some parts of Act 3 were brutal! I'm definitely up for continuing co-op mode with you, but I think I need a max of 1 act at a time. My wife was not happy with my marathon late-night gaming session. :lol:

And I have to try out out multiplayer again sometime, especially now that I have more of an idea how everything works.

[Eric D.]

I'm definitely up for continuing co-op mode with you, but I think I need a max of 1 act at a time.I completely agree, I was so burned out after last night. We can even cut it shorter and only do a few chapters at a time too. But it was fun!

[UncleGramps]

I completely agree, I was so burned out after last night. We can even cut it shorter and only do a few chapters at a time too. But it was fun!
Yeah, that sounds good. I'm always up for it, so just shoot me an invite whenever you want to pick it back up.

[KurrptSenate]

I was running into some of the mic problems myself, and I do believe it was mid-match people that joined.

What didn't make sense is that when a match would end, and you would wait in the lobby area, not everyone could hear the person. This happend about 4 times, to 4 different people yesterday.


Yea, I played for 6 hours straight :lol:

[goLUCKY]

Tonight is COD3 night. I was chatting with tbird about having time to just learn the maps. So tonight is a learn the map night for COD3!

[Deftones]

So if I "accidentally" shoot one of you guys during the exploration, that's ok? :lol:

[UncleGramps]

So was there a decision made on official GoW night(s)?

[alxreys]

So was there a decision made on official GoW night(s)?

It would be nice to have one, I've seen people playing mostly everyday. In fact, we played yesterday night (love killing with the chainsaw). Either way, let's make it Tuesday or Thursday... or both.

[Mopower]

Every night should be COD3 night. Last night I was with a group of people playing capture the flag and the battles were amazing. Armor support. Air strikes. Flags going back and forth between sides. Both sides were maxed out. I think that's 12 per side isn't it? People were actually working as a team as opposed to just running around shooting people. It was epic. I went back and played COD2 for a little bit and it's dog shit in comparison.

COD3 multiplayer is awesome, but I like switching between that and GoW multiplayer. They have very different styles of play, but I really enjoy both of them. I'm sure both games will remain popular on Live for a long time to come.

[KurrptSenate]

i have yet to even try CoD3 online yet. It seems like a much steeper learning curve, as far as the online mode is concerned

[Eric D.]

I ready for some COD3 action tonight for sure. My only request is that we play at least one free-for-all deathmatch so that everyone can hear each other talk. The game is just not the same without hearing Exodous Prime scream "Oh you!!!" after you take him out.

[TNAJason]

As always I'm up for a game as well.


Vehicular Assault I say....

[Deftones]

I may not play tonight. I have a buddy coming over and we will probably watch the game. We may be on live, but he'll likely want to see Gears of War and CoD3 and how they play.

[Suprmallet]

I vote for Tuesday nights being GoW nights. Mainly because I have Wednesday off so I can stay up late playing it. :D But I don't have nor do I plan on getting COD3, so I would like at least one official GoW night, because I will gladly play that.

[Deftones]

Thanks for the invites to Gears tonight guys. My buddy was over checking out both CoD3 and Gears. He just got an Xbox, so I'm sure I sold him on both games.

[Eric D.]

No problem, those games were a blast. We were all pretty evenly matched too which kept it intresting. Sorry we couldn't hear you though. I read that if someone joins while a game is aleady in progress, then the other players can't hear them. It's very odd.

[Deftones]

Which is weird, b/c some of the other guys could hear me on the other team in the menu.

[Suprmallet]

Hey jigga, sorry I couldn't play after the drop-off. I got sucked into a short game with an ex co-worker and then I had to, or rather am, going to bed.

[eatntae]

Thanks for the invites to GoW, but I was going through the Hardcore campaign with a friend of mine. I'm trying to help him beat it before he returns it to Blockbuster. Keep the invites coming though.

[Eric D.]

Will do. Or we can always just keep on doing those 3:00-4:00 am matches. :lol:

[eatntae]

Will do. Or we can always just keep on doing those 3:00-4:00 am matches. :lol:
:lol: On weekends, sure. Only problem is, we always seem to have unbalanced teams when we play that late.

[Eric D.]

:lol: On weekends, sure. Only problem is, we always seem to have unbalanced teams when we play that late.
'Tis true. But a big part of the problem was that I sucked when I played with you because I was still getting used to the game. So that really unbalanced the teams. However I've gotten much better now and can pull my own weight.

[Giantrobo]

Which is weird, b/c some of the other guys could hear me on the other team in the menu.


yeah I don't think I ever heard you during the matches.

BTW, it was fun finally hooking up with you and the rest on GOW. :up:

[goLUCKY]

IMO, COD3 is just missing elements that I enjoyed from COD2 like:
Lobbies
The sniper rifle that worth it
Kill-CAM
Tons of grenades that you could pick up from dead folk
Grenade parties
grenades that will actually bounce.

It looks like we may need both COD2 and COD3 nights.

[KurrptSenate]

theres a problem in GoW, with the mics and joining mid match.


If you can't hear all the parties in the room, you just have to create a new room and invite them all.

[xmiyux]

I'm not so sure you will have much company on that goLucky. I know i have no desire to play CoD2 after playing 3. The tiny parties would be enough to keep me away even though i miss the kill-cam. The sniper just takes a little getting used to - i was tearing it up some last night with the thing for the first time.

[tbird2340]

I know he'll have me. I hate COD3 and I'm planning on dumping it for GEARS and then picking it back up when it's cheap just to play the single player.

Like lucky said.. I can't stand:

* Playing CTF every freaking game blows donkey
* Grenades suck. You only start with one and you can't pick up dead peoples
* You have to wait like 30 seconds to pick up dead people's weapons
* No lobby
* Maps are SO big that if you just want to play DM and only have around 8 you have to walk around for 5 minutes to find someone.
* No killcam
* Sniper rifle blows

They should have called COD3 BF3 instead.. It's basically Battlefied and not COD..

And small parties?? Don't you love playing gears? (max 8 people)

[alxreys]

:up: Agreed: I'll be playing COD2 too and I don't care how small the group will be (which is why I love playing Gears of War).

[rgarcia]

I picked up GOW, so ready to play online whenever everyone is on. Just send me an invite.

[KurrptSenate]

thats the entire reason I purchased CoD3, to be frank. I wanted something like battlefield 2 for the computer, and battlefield 2 for the 360 stank

See, those are some of the reasons I will only play COD3.

In COD2, it was always a game of DM that was a snoozer, camping sniper fest.

No matter what map or weapons you may have to pick from, everyone always picked the sniper rifle and the game was extremely boring.

I could of swore that the nights I played COD3 I walked over dead peoples bodies and I had more grenades. Or am I confusing that with Single player?

The killcam was a neat novelty item. But was it really anything significant in the game? Sure, it showed you where you were shot from. But, do you think when you respawn, the person is going to be still sitting there for you to kill them? They'd have already moved and you'd have to find them again before they find you. That is the same way it is in COD3.

The lobby I can forgive. The system in place keeps the games moving as long as people are ready to play them. You can invite people in mid game. And during the games, while you are looking at the stats, the game is counting down to starting. If the host has voting turned on, you can influence the next gametype and/or map.

Everygame hasn't been CTF, at least the nights I've played. It seems to have been mixed up between CTF, Bases/Territories, and DM. Granted most games have been team based so that you can use the classes special ability. But there have been some free-for-all DM games.

This game lends itself very well to playing in a team and trying to come up with strategy. Which is all the appeal for me.

[tbird2340]

In COD2, it was always a game of DM that was a snoozer, camping sniper fest.

No matter what map or weapons you may have to pick from, everyone always picked the sniper rifle and the game was extremely boring.

Well different strokes for different folks I guess.. That snoozing camping sniper fest kept about 12 of us busy for 6 months straight. :rolleyes:

[Vryce]

True enough. I won't deny that it was a popular game.

It just was not for me.

Now COD3 is a ton of fun and I honestly can see it filling the void at this point until Halo 3 comes out.

The game plays more to the style I like in that there are ample opportunities for teamwork.

Hopefully people keep playing it because I am liking the games nights that have been COD3 so far.

[alxreys]

Well different strokes for different folks I guess.. That snoozing camping sniper fest kept about 12 of us busy for 6 months straight. :rolleyes:

:shrug: I've played as the sniper and I had to move otherwise: people would come after me (thank you very much killcam), or my killing count would remain low.

Vryce, maybe you didn't play with the COD2 regulars? Because I remember getting killed by shotguns, machine guns (Prime) and goLucky's all time favorite "grenade party".

I like COD3 as well, but to be honest, all I've played since I got it on Thursday have been CTF and teams. It was not until yesterday when we started playing DMs as well.

[Vryce]

I played with the regulars in the beginning when COD2 was new. I grew tired of all the sniping and camping. And it seemed that 9 games out of 10 were always a free-for-all and those bore me to death. I stopped playing shortly thereafter and never went back to it.

[xmiyux]

I'm not as much a fan of the free-for-all DMs in CoD3 due to not being able to use the class specific abilities. I also strongly dislike the games the other night where there was no respawn timer. It made medics not very useful and made CTF/HQ style games even harder since the opposing team respawned immediately.

[kakihara1]

Well in all fairness when COD2 was new it sucked ass. With the Patch however the game became absolute greatness and the regulars (about 12 of us) couldn't get enough and basically played every night not just on the designated ones, hell we even picked up a couple people just as we were rolling into COD3's launch.

When we first started playing COD2 regularly there was a huge number of people using snipers only but as we all got better we learned that using the sniper all the time wasn't the way to win. My personal favorite weapon is the trenchgun in COD2 as most of you know. Which is the polar opposite to the sniper rifle.

Awesome things in COD2:

Kill Cam
Grenades
Great weapon balance (purely opinion)
communication/lobby system
Breaking GoLucky's head open with the butt of my gun

Things that suck in COD2

Only room for 8

This isn't to say that I don't like COD3 cause I think it's an awesome game. But what is truly missing in COD3 is that loss in communication. Sure you can talk to your teammates during an objective based game but there is no way to sit and shoot the shit with everyone for a few minutes between games after which you would be randomly placed in teams or we would play a FFA gametype and everyone would be able to talk to each other. I guess what I'm saying is that COD3 seems to be a bit more of a cold experience and not nearly as personal. Everything else I can deal with but I'll definitely need to keep COD2 in the rotation as I loved playing that game.

[tbird2340]

Here here... Now that's the Martin I know and love.. The one that used to run this thread!! ;)

[kakihara1]

well one thing we seem to all be able to agree on is that GOW is a blast. So that requires a day. Even the guys who find COD3 to be inferior for the most part still think it's a great game so that deserves a day. COD2 is still quite relavent per the last several posts so it deserves a day as well.

We can argue which is the better game till we're blue in the face but the fact is that we have plenty of good titles to play and with the duplicate days designated for the same games I'd say we have plenty of space for each so long as no one is twisting anyone's arm saying "no you can't play COD2" I should think we'd be able to find a suitable time for each title.

Add in Rainbow Six Vegas, FEAR, Viva Pinata and whatever else is coming down the pike and there should be something for everyone.

[xmiyux]

Are many excited for RS6? With CoD3 and Gears i just can't bring myself to be excited for yet another shooter right now.

[Vryce]

Too bad Viva Pinata isn't a multiplayer game in the way that Animal Crossing DS was. I've read that you can interact with other people by sending packages and such. But you can't actually visit any one elses garden. :(

That was the one hope I had for the game was that it would be similar to AC:DS

[Eric D.]

I also miss COD2 and can't wait to go back to it. COD3 is just meh imo. I don't hate it, but it just feels like Battlefield 2.5.

And I'm also not too crazy about all the CTF type of games either. I find myself getting bored really fast due to the repetitivness. The only time I've enjoyed myself in COD3 is with the deathmatch/team deatmatch games. And to be fair I've seen loads of people "camping" in COD3, proably more so then in any of the COD2 games I've ever played. And when people do camp in COD2, the kill cam gives them away and everyone goes after them. So its not that big of a deal.

However GOW is amazing. I will never tire of that game.

Edit: Oh and I'm excited for Rainbow 6 because of the co-op.

[xmiyux]

I will admit to tiring of the CTF style games and prefer the team DM ones. As long as there is a decent respawn time i'm happy :) especially on that map with all the tanks.

I have seen a good deal more camping in 3 versus 2 due to the lack of a kill cam. Karma kills also don't play as large a role in this one.

[kakihara1]

Karma kills also don't play as large a role in this one.

Karma kills are awesome, they keep you on your toes. :)

[1998Nole]

After reading all of these posts I am wondering if I should pass on COD3? It seems everyone going back to COD2.

[UncleGramps]

I prefer COD3 over COD2, but it looks like I'm in the minority. :(

Hopefully, even if people go back to 2, 3 will still stay in heavy rotation.

[xmiyux]

After reading all of these posts I am wondering if I should pass on COD3? It seems everyone going back to COD2.

They are just whiny little punks. The third one is awesome, the classes make team games incredible and far more interesting than anything in 2. The plain slayer free-for-alls aren't as fun in this one due to no class skills, ginormous maps, and the sniper requiring a modicum of skill now.

[Eric D.]

Anybody want to get some GOW multiplayer going tonight?

[SteelgearX]

Well, if you guys can have a GOW night that would be great. I'd rather play with you guys than random people. My only problem is I usually don't get on untill after 11pm.

[alxreys]

Anybody want to get some GOW multiplayer going tonight?

Sure Doc. I'll be online at around 8:30 - 9:00 EST.

[Deftones]

I might be around.

[SteelgearX]

If I play COD with you guys it'll be 3... cause I don't have 2.

[Deftones]

Thanks jerks. Played some CoD3 and then when we all decided to switch over to GoW, I was the lone one out. That didn't seem fair. :mad:

[Suprmallet]

If we get enough people going on GoW, we can have multiple rooms, so that sort of stuff doesn't happen.

[Deftones]

We could never get that going on CoD2, so I doubt that we could w/ GoW.

[xmiyux]

Well luckily with Gears you can always send someone a message and see if they would be up for co-op. I was playing some multiplayer Gears tonight and would have been happy to bounce over to co-op if someone was left out. I'm still in act one on hardcore and could always use the help.

[Giantrobo]

Are many excited for RS6?

i am. :up:

[eatntae]

We could never get that going on CoD2, so I doubt that we could w/ GoW.
I think it would work with Gears, since it appears that more DVDTalkers are playing it compared to COD2.

From the top of my head, here's a few Gears players that didn't play COD2 with "the group":
Suprmallet
SteelgearX
MasterofDVD
Vryce
Michael Corvin
pizzamousechips

And I'm sure there are even more than that.

xmiyux, I'll help you out in co-op if you'd like.

[Michael Corvin]

I'm always down for co-op especially over multiplayer. Anyone can mark me down for some of that is free to invite me.

I've gone through ACT I and half of ACT II on hardcore on co-op, and I'm in the middle of ACT III on casual right now. It is going to take a lot of play to get those Dom achievements so anyone that wants help on getting those, I'm down for it.

[tbird2340]

They are just whiny little punks. The third one is awesome, the classes make team games incredible and far more interesting than anything in 2. The plain slayer free-for-alls aren't as fun in this one due to no class skills, ginormous maps, and the sniper requiring a modicum of skill now.

Whiny little punks? Yea, that's it. :rolleyes: What it comes down to is it's a TOTALLY DIFFERENT game... Not even close to COD2.. They didn't make COD3 BETTER then COD2 they made it totally different. So you see a whole bunch of people that didn't play 2 now playing 3 because it's their type of game now.

xmiyux whines about everything in every game so you're gonna have that ;)

Also, I totally agree with Doc West in that there is a TON more camping in 3 then in 2 do to the killcam being gone and the maps being huge. I know the few times I played (and it was most likely CTF or the like ;)) that every time I got killed it was by a sniper..

[kakihara1]

Thanks jerks. Played some CoD3 and then when we all decided to switch over to GoW, I was the lone one out. That didn't seem fair. :mad:

I'm not sure how that happened :( I think we split from COD3 and formed two rooms. I got an invite from Jalth and joined his room then I got an invite from you. I wasn't paying attention after a few minutes but then alex said hey did you guys send invites to the other guys and I was like hmm I thought they were already in here :S anyhow then we got Prime and I think west in the room and it was full. Later though we ended up splitting into two rooms again as Tbird had just gotten the game and wanted to play some multiplayer but our room was full so we then split into two smaller rooms again.

[Michael Corvin]

Whiny little punks? Yea, that's it. :rolleyes: What it comes down to is it's a TOTALLY DIFFERENT game... Not even close to COD2.. They didn't make COD3 BETTER then COD2 they made it totally different. So you see a whole bunch of people that didn't play 2 now playing 3 because it's their type of game now.


FWIW, a different company made COD3, which is why it is so different. The team that did COD2 is working on COD4. Which is why they can pump them out so quick.

[KurrptSenate]

im really gonna have to get into CoD3 online. I mean, I love Gears and all, but I want to try out this whole class system.

[Giantrobo]

I haven't played COD3 but the Star Wars:Battlefront games have Classes and it's a lot of fun. Being able to support troops with ammo and health, taking care of the sniper gun, being the guy who lays mines and takes out heavy vehicles, and etc is all pretty cool.

[KurrptSenate]

yea, i got that not too long ago as well (battlefront 2). The big problem is that they released more maps that cost money, and everyone but me seems to have them already. I can't justify spending the 6 bucks to get the extra maps, so i really don't play it much.

[Save Ferris]

I dont know what it is, but online GOW can get a little tiring after a while--NOT BORING but a little exhausting. Can it be considered repetitive without being boring? Anyway it seems that every match is an exercise in deploying the same tactic of circling your opponent then closing for the kill. After 30 or so matches it can get kind of a chore. Occasionally if it comes down to 1 vs 1 you can snipe each other until one gets a headshot. I do like the game a lot and single player has tons more variety. I just feel like I cant play multiplayer all night like I could other games.

[kakihara1]

Prime I'm the exact opposite I could easily play the game all night because of my frustration with getting the same tactic down correctly. All too often I find myself in the middle of three enemies who seem to be fighting over which gets to deliver the death blow. It's frustrating as hell and I love it. The only thing that's discouraging is that if you make a mistake you're probably going to pay for it and then you sit in the lobby for minutes sometimes waiting to try again. I think the better we all get at the game the longer the rounds will take to play, and the longer I'll be sitting in the lobby waiting to try again. :( But damn the game is addicting. :D

[KurrptSenate]

what kind of matches do you play Ferris :lol:


If you opponents' tactics are being repetitive, you would know where they are headed, what weapons they favor, and you game plan should change accordingly. I can't say that happens in out matches at all.

If I know a team is going straight for the sniper rifle, thats the move our entire team makes.

I play this game like a chess match really.

I played for the first time last night and I give it :up: :up:

I freaking love it! The only thing I wish they did was include a gametype where you do respawn so that the matches can go on a little longer. Not a one kill and your done..

But all and all I can't wait to play again!

[Save Ferris]

I guess my team was in a groove last night. We must of won 9 out of every 10 matches and it did feel like the same pattern of circling and closing in. If I got lazy or impatient I would rush and get killed but it was just screwing around for some variety. Once you know how the game has to be played, they all seem to pan out the same way. Its fun but an hour or so is plenty.

[KurrptSenate]

sounds like you should stop playing against a bunch of noobs

[Save Ferris]

lol I was playing against martin and doc west

[tbird2340]

:rotfl: That would explain it... :lol:

[KurrptSenate]

im just surprised you find the matches so repetitive is all. I can seriously play this game for 4 hours straight and not find it repetitive, or boring.

After I switched from one friend's team to another, we won every single match, even won 2 against 4.

I just love the fact that I can hatch some sort of plan to take them out, and he goes along with it, and it works all the friggin time. I can't stand playing with heros that just want to steal kills, and wind up dying before the rest of the team, only to hear them whine about their gone "not working" when the new match starts

I just found myself bein rambo--charging in with the shotgun or something just to get some variety. Id get killed doing this about half the time but it made it a little more exciting. But like I said I enjoy playing it and its not BORING I just want to integrate more variety sometimes still.

Never hit the right trigger, in fact I didn't even know about it until you mentioned it yesterday.

And thanks for the sneaky bastard remark. I'll add it to "the monster" and "the chainsaw killa" names :)

[KurrptSenate]

revving is pretty pointless, but I have scared a few people into other waiting team members from revving the chain saw. Other than that, I have to find a purpose for it

[KurrptSenate]

they might come across as arrogant, but I haven embellished any of my posts. If you read all my examples and advice, you will find them to be true.

Also, i didn't call anyone "out"



Don't get me wrong either. This is probably the most enjoyable game I've played in years. Even though I take it seriously, doesn't mean I'm having any less fun then anyone else that plays this game.

I'm not one for talking sh!t personally, but I will fire back if it's necessary.

I feel it pointless to play a game that is based on being part of a team, and not being part of the team. Sure, that might conflict with your opinions or how you choose to play the game, but from my experiences, you can share in on everything (kills, wins, etc) being part of a team

[kakihara1]

Thank Gawd. Dvdtalkers have been having fun and hooking up on LIVE for a couple years now and the one thing I've always heard is it's all about fun and not dealing with the kind of LIVE players who take it too seriously and suck all the fun out of ...well...gaming. Don't get me wrong, the dvdtalkers who wanted more challenge went and started their own gaming clans and if I'm not mistaken, one of them may still be going strong. There was no bad blood when that happened.

[Save Ferris]

Id like to mix up the teams--I wish it was random, ya know.... like COD2 was...

[KurrptSenate]

we usually pick team captains, who are usually the top 2 players after a few matches. Usually makes it more interesting that way

[tbird2340]

OH NOES!!! Save Ferris is having flashbacks of high school gym class now!! I don't think he should have to suffer from the embarrassment of standing against the wall and having the captain say "I guess I'll take him" as last pick.. ;)

Yeah, we're still going strong. But we still play with a lot of DVDTalkers and have fun doing so. While we formed our own group, we're still all loyal to the site that brought us all together. :) And we still all play for fun, we just wanted a smaller group that could concentrate on forming strategies and know who would be playing regularly. With the huge anyone joins DVDTalk clan, a lot of people would join in, never play more then a game and never be on again.

We weren't trying to be elitist, just wanted a smaller more manageable group.
If that all makes sense. :hscratch:


:grouphug:

[KurrptSenate]

Why should I have to do that, though? I was in the group of players that were on CoD3. I should be given a spot automatically, and everyone else that comes after should have to wait. From what I hear from someone that was there, was that someone that wasn't playing CoD3 got a slot. That wasn't fair. I'll admit, I was pissed last night and I'm sure I overreacted, but still. Frustrating to give up playing one game and then not get into the other.

[KurrptSenate]

wow, that is pretty shady. sounds like favoritism to me bro

[Deftones]

Cry himself to sleep with his gigantic head on his big fat pillow!!

You were one of the jerkoffs that took my spot. :mad:

[Deftones]

wow, that is pretty shady. sounds like favoritism to me bro

No, it wasn't. You weren't there so it isn't your place to comment. Quit trying to stir up stuff here. As you can see, we all play online regularly and are pretty quick to stick up for each other.

Point is, when this happened on CoD2, we had a system in place to deal with dropped players and such. I think we should follow that w/ GoW.

[KurrptSenate]

hence the reason i said "sounds like"


wtf is your problem then? :lol:

[tbird2340]

Deftones.. Easy bro. It's just a game. We all still love you.

I don't know what went down man.. But sure sounds like some shady bidness.

Maybe you can get in Neo's group... It doesn't sound like he supports favoritism. ;)

I love you Deftones!!! :banana:

I dunno if it was me that took your spot but when I got on our room only had 4.. I don't think you were on then? Around 10:est?

[xmiyux]

Not elitist? So does that mean no more Grey Goose martinis in the 8BB lounge? We are going down to lower shelf stuff?

And by the way - i adore the adjective cheeky. I will totally be adding into my vocab now.

[Deftones]

Because you weren't there. You are trying to comment on something that you have no clue about solely for the purpose of trying to stir the pot here. Other than annoying me, everyone else that were involved probably doesn't even give a rat's ass. :lol:

Wait.. wait.. hold the phone...

She's making fun of all our names.. and your GamerTag is a dinner dish that most people wretch at? ;)

Pot... kettle....
Kettle.. pot...

:lol:

Is that way she's making you sell your PS3? She doesn't want to see any more stupid usernames? ;)

What!? No love for the awesome princess name? :(

And you talk about not getting some good game time in then you choose Marvel? Come on, get some Gears or CoD on with us!

What's next? Whining about all the reviews then playing Uno with your free time? :lol:


And finally, my herbal tea was grown sans manure. It is a lemon balm/lemon verbena blend i grew myself in the back yard. :p

[Suprmallet]

So it's Gears tonight, then? What time will you guys be on?

No doubt! L&O is probably the douchebaggiest internet name of all time. ;)

[eatntae]

How the hell did Jason get control of eatntae's account?




Eat shit ;)
:lol: I was wondering if someone would catch that.

[Liver&Onions]

Mine is influenced by a Far Side comic...not the shitty food. :) But I never said she thought mine was cool either :)

Exodis Prime? Nah - she's not into transformers.

No the PS3 thing is strickly because I initially told her I bought it to sell, then when I said "I think I'm gonna keep it" she was like "I think you're not, dillhole. You can get it later on with the profit you THINK you're going to make." :lol:

You have no idea.:lol:

Dude the kid bought Oblivion just because you get to pick flowers in the game....I mean comeon rotfl

[Liver&Onions]

I may have added some colourful language to make my wife sound mean, when she's not. I apologize for that.

[Suprmallet]

I'm not laughing anymore. :mad:

[kakihara1]

I'm fkn dying here rotfl I gotta go do something constructive. Best forum day EVAR :D

[Save Ferris]

She has to send all of us a voice message in an apology. Nothing less is acceptable.

[xmiyux]

Alright, i can't deny it totally but in my defense that wasn't the only reason i bought the game. I will admit though to taking alchemy as a primary skill because i love collecting the plants and making the potions.

Damn, you guys like file away shit i say in passing to burn me with later. I can't get away with anything. :lol: Tis true though, the hippy likes to garden and pick flowers.

[xmiyux]

Adding dillhole as colourful language. I nominate this iteration of this thread for the video game archives... it is bloody comedy gold!

We have L&O making bad jokes, we have a character playing TopBunk, and high quality smack talk. Pure gold.

To be fair, alchemy is one of the easiest ways to level up in the game. :D

[Liver&Onions]

Bad jokes? I tested these on losers here at work first, they said they were top notch. I hate engineers. :suicide:

[Save Ferris]

You can also quadruple your dork score in real life

[Suprmallet]

Hey L&O, check out the PS3 thread. Looks like UncleGramps will have a PS3 for sale.

[Liver&Onions]

on my way!

[Suprmallet]

Does this mean you're going to unlock the video game queue so I can request Wii games now? :D

[Liver&Onions]

lol - maybe. You did get some Genesis collection added to your pile somehow though :)

[s}{ammer]

Damn, I go to take the wife to work and you guys really get on a roll in here. Any of you folks that miss out on the GOW games feel free to start a COD3 game and invite the rest of us who had Cars shipped by gameznflix instead of GOW. :(

[Suprmallet]

lol - maybe. You did get some Genesis collection added to your pile somehow though :)

I noticed, and I'm really excited for it!

[SteelgearX]

I'm having too much fun readin your posts at work tonight. Keep it coming. I'd like to play with you guys tonight but I'm going to attempt to camp at a wal-mart with my friends starting tonight. If there's too many people already when we get there then I'll come home for some GOW goodness.

[TNAJason]

eatntae and Martin....

I do not talk in all caps. The is there a game tonight is me,but not the all caps!

Good games tonight guys!

[s}{ammer]

I just want to say that you guys all suck! Everyone used to play COD2 like crazy and there would be people left out. Then we get COD3 with support for 24 players and nobody plays a single game. I hate GOW already for tearing this forum apart. First the fighting earlier and then all night waiting for a COD3 game and nothing.... :(

At least I got the assault achievement playing single player while waiting for you guys to come to your senses and start playing COD3.

Do you have GOW or plan on getting it? The reason why most of the COD2 people don't play COD3 so much is that it is so different then COD2. Most of us don't like the changes, so we play GOW instead. I myself can only tolerate so much of COD3 before I tire of it. Gears on the other hand, I could play all night. And I don't really see how the forum was torn apart today. All it did was give us some great material to joke about durning the games.

Oh and as for the 8 person max on Gears, we seemed to work that out pretty well tonight. We had multiple rooms going for a while and then we all merged into one as the night went on and people dropped. So nobody was left out...not even Deftones.

[Deftones]

And I suck!

My post was a joke... Well it does suck about COD3 but it was a joke. I know how funny it was today. :)

Anyway, I do plan to get GOW, but I bought COD3 instead because everyone here used to play COD2 and it appeared that COD3 would continue the trend.

[Suprmallet]

Hey guys, sorry I didn't get in on the Gears game, guess I got back online too late.

[xmiyux]

West, did you not get the memo? Deftones is to be left out on all these games. Blatant favoritism and all. :lol:

[aerobson]

The 8 person GOW limit does suck. I was the odd man out last night. We had a full party for a few games, but at the end of one game, everyone left but Viva. He made it into the other party, but there was no room for me :(

Oh well, I did manage to finish Act 4 on Hardcore with Canis, so it turned out alright. I'm looking forward to Call of Duty 3 tonight (is that the game?).

[Vryce]

I don't know if it fits here, but it seems like it is what is happening with DVDTalkers as well.

Sunday: Open
Monday: COD3/COD2
Tuesday: GOW
Wednesday: COD3/COD2/Arcade Night
Thursday: GOW
Friday: Halo 2/COD3
Saturday: Open.

As more games come out, others should make it into the rotation. But for the time being, this is the schedule I see lasting for a while.

[Vryce]

And GOW Co-op has indeed been a lot of fun lately.

Very challenging, but at the same time, its nice to finish an act.

Looking forward to tackling the last bit in co-op mode one of these nights.

Then I have to decide if I want to attempt Insane difficulty co-op with anyone. I thikn that mode only gets opened when you beat the game on Hardcore.

[Deftones]

West, did you not get the memo? Deftones is to be left out on all these games. Blatant favoritism and all. :lol:

:lol:

On the last game, I did get 3 kills. :shrug:

[Flay]

Then I have to decide if I want to attempt Insane difficulty co-op with anyone. I thikn that mode only gets opened when you beat the game on Hardcore.

You are correct sir. It's not unlocked until beating Hardcore, but I believe you can connect via co-op to another player that's going through Insane mode.

Insane co-op is a hell of a lot of fun; as long as you have a good partner.

[Save Ferris]

If anyone wants to do some Co-Op GOW drop me a note when im online.

[kakihara1]

If anyone wants to do some Co-Op GOW drop me a note when im online.

I do :wave:

[Save Ferris]

Awesome--We'll get a game on!

[Vryce]

Well, once I finish Hardcore mode with Czar, assuming he doesn't want to do Insane mode. I'd be up for hitting Insane mode co-op with someone.

[xmiyux]

I'm also up for some Co-op on hardcore. I am in the middle of Act 1 still.

[Vryce]

Send me a message sometime Miyu, if I'm not playing co-op with Czar. I don't think my joining your game would mess up my game with Czar. Since I'm joining his game, I'm using the data on his end.

You'll have to start the session and invite me in. My own local co-op save is in Casual mode, if it even exists. I'm not sure how the co-op mode works when it saves checkpoints. I don't know if it saves it on both systems, or just the hosts system.

[Eric D.]

I finished Act 1 on Insane with Suprmallet yesterday and it was not too bad. We even had trouble communicating due to faulty headsets and we still kind of blazed through it. I'm up for going through the rest of Insane with anyone who wants to do it. So just let me know and we'll get it going.

[Save Ferris]

How does this game handle the cogtags? If your teammate picks it up, is it gone from your system?

[UncleGramps]

I'm also up for co-op mode on GoW pretty much anytime. So far I've played through the first 3 acts in co-op mode on Hardcore difficulty, but I'd be happy to play through some of those again if anyone needs a co-op buddy.

[xmiyux]

Yes, if your partner picks up a cog tag that you don't have yet it adds it to your total.

[aerobson]

Yes, if your partner picks up a cog tag that you don't have yet it adds it to your total.
Right, and if your partner already picked it up in a previous saved game, they will not see it on their screen if you haven't picked it up yet.

[Vryce]

No.. I could see COG tags on the screen that I had already gotten but you hadn't yet Czar. I just couldn't pick them up.

[aerobson]

Oh, I didn't think you could even see them.

Well, I stand corrected. What Canis said.
