It was just funny because me and friz would be running to an objective and you were running up the hillside. I get the point of it. I just like being in the middle of it.

I'll check it out (Warhawk) :D

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

That's our Slider. :lol:

At least once or twice I was wrong about where you were, Slider, but most of the time you were wasting your energy. Holding B on that map is worthless if the other team is allowed to hold the other 3. Also, by camping at B, and with 3 of us on the team, you take away one of the two teammates that I can [want to] spawn on. Basically, you painted us into a corner at B.

On Harvest Day, the basic strategy is: hold A or D (depending on which side you're on, fight over C, and then press on A or D when you take C. You should only go after B when you hold all of the other 3, and even then it's not really smart since it's so easy to defend from that hillside and so easy to take the bases behind us from either home base.

It's cool that you want to snipe people who are converging on us, but I'd much rather you were doing it by my side, helping me move the flags faster. With 2 of us on the flag, it moved slow, and we'd often have to fight off 2-3 waves of dudes.

Still awesome awesome times...just wanted to explain my frustration. :)

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

I was watching some BFBC2 videos on youtube, and I stumbled across this, and I have to admit it cracked me up (sorry in advance if you don't share my sense of humor):

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Another night in Battlefield with Vong (dude is a fucking addict). ;)

Good times giving him little tips and watching him get better. :up:

I got the ace pin in a little more than half our maps and got a shartload of dogtags. :chainsaw:

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

I blame DVDTALK!!! LOL!

Had a lot of fun tonight. Of course I scored me a dogtag after ya left. :D Stabbed some wannabe sniper in the eye!

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Is everybody still down for Metal Gear tonight?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

i will try

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Did you guys select Peer-to-Peer download or HTTP download for the update? I just popped the disc into my new Slim about thirty minutes ago and it's done, I'm guessing because I selected HTTP rather than P2P. I remember the first time I had to download these updates and they took what seemed like hours, but this was relatively painless. :shrug:

I hope you can make it, Nic. Their version of Capture the Flag is really neat.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

I forgot that I got a slim since I did the last update. I just called my wife and had her start the update.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

:up:

I hope someone here is able to host, because right now there are only two rooms not using the expansion packs and they both have glitchers. :(

Edit: Now there's no available games for people without the DLC. :( Disappointing.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

I have a previous engagement and am unable to host tonight. Is anyone else available?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

LMFAO!!!! The n00b now has 37 dogtags. If you see a guy online named seventh_SNIPER tell him that his 2 dogtags I got from him in one game taste good. NOMNOMNOM.

Stupid snipers...LOL

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Seeing as how it's only three or four, it might just be better to wait for a day when you can make it.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

37...in a row????

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

:thumbsup:

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

It looks like I could probably host, but I've never played MGS4 online-- so I'd have no idea what sorts of games to set up or in what locations. But it let me go so far as starting my own game with the defaults-- so it looks like I have the necessary "pipes."

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Sounds good. I've never gone through the hosting setup, but the way I think it works is you set up numerous matches. I think if you make Death Matches and Team Sneak matches on each map it would be fine. Just pick whatever setting you think would be fun.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Once that shit fails miserably, hop in Battlefield. We'll be blowing shit up and stabbing snipers in the nugget!

;)

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

This another subtle jab at snipers? They've only got the one nugget?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Should be on maybe 5-10 minutes after 9. I'll give it a shot, but can't make promises. And-- if it fails-- there's always bfbc2.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Amen. If Cruz and Nic aren't on at 9:30 we can hop in BFBC2 and table MGO for another night. I just have to finish a few things up here and I'll be on in about ten minutes.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Well played sir. Well played :D

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Cruz...please weed BC2 out of this one...creating its own thread...getting confusing...and we also play it more than weekly.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Will do. I'll leave mention of it in the thread

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Metal Gear Online was a lot of fun. I was sad that we decided to skip Team Sneaking as that is the mode I think is the most fun. The controls take a lot of getting used to, but if we play it a few more times then it should become second nature. What did you guys think of the weapons/maps/whatnot?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

I played around with it late one night I can create a room also. I will definitely be bringing it back another night.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Killzone 3 on next Wednesday night. anyone down for it?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

I would if I had it. Sorry I didn't jump in Burnout last week...shame that one never really caught on...such a fun game.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Killzone 3 is too rich for my blood right now.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

It really is a shame. I think there needs to be a balance of races and challenges to keep things interesting for everyone. It was me and ogsoley in a pub room messin around and then we went private and we were knocking out 2 player challenges (20 or so) before calling it a night. Thanks OG for coming out!!!

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

More of you guys need to get hooked up with a Gamefly account - that way we could plan ahead on what people should rent. (I have a surefire way to get new games on the release day that always works.)

You need to save your pennies for Brink - that game is gonna be awesome. (May 17th - headset not required apparently - Weekend Confirmed podcast mentioned that as you accept missions it will send voice chat for you - I immediately thought of Slider)

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Hey Cruz, what's the list of games being rotated?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Monday and Wednesday night it is. I hadn't made a definitive list of games to be rotated yet. I was just trying out different games (new and old) to try to mix things up. So far I have posted:
Modern Warfare 2
Metal Gear Solid 4
Killzone 3
Burnout Paradise

I have not gotten to some of the games played in the original rotation:

There are also games owned by DVDTalkers not in original rotation that i would be willing to try out:


I'd be willing to throw up more games as people request them but I have avoided throwing up a poll.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has claimed the Friday night spot as the number of DVDTalkers and regulars who own it has grown (they also play occassionally on other nights as this is frizby's latest obsession) Check the Battlefield Talk thread for more info.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Thanks for the list. I have some of those games listed and might join you if you get together.

Not much of a FPS gamer but Battlefield has me intrigued. I might join your group pretty soon.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Which ones?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

Red Dead Redemption
Uncharted 2
Little Big Planet
Modnation Racers
Transformers: WfC
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
Metal Gear Solid 4

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

MODNATION RACERS BITCHES!!!!!!1111!!!11!!one11!!

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 

rotfl

That's some funny stuff right there.

Battlefield didn't claim Friday night. It made Friday night its bitch! It rolled Friday night over and shagged its pink ass rotten baby!

All your Friday are belong to Battlefield.
