Every Monday or Wednesday night, we'll be rotating a game for some multiplayer action. This first post will be updated with the necessary information for you to find out what game will be played each week, who the host is, and the start time.

Our weekly leagues are meant for fun and not to "pwn N00bs", so please play accordingly if you're an expert. Our league numbers dwindle when the entire group isn't having fun; nothing is less fun than "multiplayer douchebaggery".

Well to at least organize things. - is that time good for you?

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 
Couldn't sleep last night so I decided to hop in around 2 am and see waht kind of shenanigans I could find in some of the multiplayer games I own while spending only 15-20minutes in each - ADD style

BattleField Bad Company 2 - found a nice match of Rush. Opposing team was full of camping snipers so I did a ton of counter-sniping and spotting for my team ended up with gold squad.
Call of Duty 4 - found a glitched match on shipment which was fun - 9vs.9 on that tiny map. Hopped into 2great unglitched TDMs - final score on both was seperated by one kill.
Modern Warfare 2 - Got into a glitched Fuel -one guy had turned himself into a stationary AC130 using his gun like the AC130(looked funny - sucked for everyone else). got into an unglitched Trailer Park TDM - final score 7500 - 7300. Then had a hard time finding any tactical matches.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - had fun in a couple of matches running around stabbing people.
Medal of Honor - had a 57MB update - decided to skip it and try on another night.
BioShock 2 - found some high level guys tearing people up - had my ass handed to me repeatedly

Killzone 3 - singleplayer demo - the single player plays better than the multiplayer - can't wait to rent it.

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 
I only have Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, Warhawk, and Bad Company 2. I'll join in for those games whenever I can. :)

Edit: I also have Metal Gear Solid 4, so I'm definitely down for that.

Dedicated nights:

Tuesdays: Warhawk
Thursdays: CoD
Fridays: BFBC2

I'd stick to Mondays/Wednesdays on this thread...or you could just leave Fridays permanent in the OP.

I still have pretty much everything from before (Bioshock 2, Resistance 2, Red Faction, Burnout Paradise, RDR, etc.)

I'll leave BFBC2 on Fridays unless a group wants to set up something else up.

I still have Bioshock 2, Resistance 2, Red Faction, Burnout Paradise, RDR.

I also have CoD4, MW2, Black Ops (of course), Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Medal of Honor, Metal Gear Solid 4(that update kills me) , Borderlands GOTY, Transformers: War for Cybertron, BFBC2, LBP and GTA4. Battlefield 1943 could make for a nice diversion for the BFBC2 crowd.

Other games I would like to add include Brink (day one purchase), Modnation Racers or Blur or Split Second (cart racer action/douchiness factor could make one of these 3 good fun for the usual suspects). If anyone has any recommendations or requests feel free to post.

Ditto. Of the other games you listed, I also have:


CoD4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Borderlands GOTY, LBP, GTA4, and Blur.
All of them are in my unplayed pile except for LBP though, lol.

Still have Uncharted 2 also.

I put it somewhere between Warhawk and BFBC2. It's not super twitchy. It has customizable classes. Controls are responsive and fairly intuitive. I've played a handful of matches and nothing really feels overpowered. Good and a nice change of pace but not great. I'd say I got my money's worth for under $20.

RDR, i must have quoted wrong. You need to do that MGS4 update so we can play that.

Has anyone actually played MGS4 online?

I played it when it first came out. It was ok - if you could get used to the controls. Anyone have any idea how to speed up the Metal Gear update?

If you mean what I think you mean, that's just silly. Warhawk and BFBC2 are standout multiplayer experiences, and Transformers felt bland and generic.

Stick with Uncharted 2 for this type of game IMO. It's much more solid all around.

Once again, good and different. Not great. I guess I can count you out if I decide to throw this up there.

Anyone have any requests for next week? I guess there wasn't much interest in MW2 last night ran into a couple of guys i played CoD4 with for a handful of matches then joined up with Origami and nic44. I miss tactical knives/commando douchbaggery. Good times.

i did the massive update about 5 months ago.

8.5 hours? :lol:

I thought the 15gb for DC Universe Online was bad.

I don't even think the file was that large just the connection to the server was crap.

Is the MP on Killzone 2 any good? Should I bite for $11?

cruzness 02-22-11 01:47 PM

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 
I don't know how active the online community is especially w/ KZ3 coming out. It's nothing we haven't seen in any other game. All the maps are dark and gritty. The controls are sluggish compared to CoD and BFBC2. I don't know if anyone else has it. I was thinking about it for $11 too - just to have it.

shumway 02-22-11 01:58 PM

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 
I don't know that I would ever play it. I've had Resistance 2 since the summer sale at Gamestop and I've only ever updated and bought a DLC pack but not tried it. I don't bother with the single player generally as my game time is relatively limited and I really enjoy MP.

19K 02-22-11 03:40 PM

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 
I have Killzone 2. Single player alone is worth $11, imo. I can't speak for the MP because I've never tried it, but I'd be down for a weekly thing if other people picked it up. According to reviews, the online part is supposed to be it's strong point.

JohnSlider 02-22-11 04:23 PM

Re: Return of the Weekly Rotating Games Night (PS3)
 
Wind knocked my power out last night. Sorry I missed it, Cruz. :(

I have about 350 hours clocked in Metal Gear Online. It was pretty much my only game for 2+ years and I loved it. Not many maps, but it is a lot of fun if you enjoy stealth games.
