Heh, I like dropping smoke grenades under the feet of my team members that do that. Especially if they have microphones. It's amusing. Then I call them "big girls".

I rock.

It's a game, when else can you run down a road shooting an AK47 in the air shouting "FEAR THE POLAR BEAR!" a bit and aget a smile.

K/D is not everything, it's fun that is important.

True, but on the whole I enjoy it more when I'm killing people, as opposed to getting killed.

That said, some of my most enjoyable CoD moments have been playing Hide & Seek, and employing the Kangaroo Defence.

MaliA · **Posted:** Wed Nov 12, 2008 19:35

Fuck YEAH!

I bagged me a helicopter, with a couple of RPGs.

It's awesome.

I downloaded that for Rock Band last night as soon as I got home from work. Despite a mediocre four star run-through on Expert, I ended up getting the 73rd (out of 150) best score IN THE WORLD.

Hardcore ftw... at least your bullets actually kill things!

Dimrill · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 13:55

I think I'm going to have to retire from this game. It makes me incredibly sad.

We need a new shooter.

metalangel · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 13:59

I've been saying this for weeks. All we ever seem to encounter now are armies of gold cross people.

Yeah, but you don't count, meaty, as youre an illegal alien.

It's very rare to be issued with a forged British Passport by the Identity and Passport Service, given they make the real ones themselves.

Back to Halo 3?

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Halo is gay.

metalangel · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 14:06

I think we've had far more laughs arsing around in the myriad game types of Halo3 moaning like zombies and 'pound for shoes!' and rocket race and all hammers/swords/lasers than we've had griping about CoD4.

It's not as R3@LZ as CoD4 but there's no other shooter I'm willing to buy. And I have Halo 3, and it's good fun with a full house of Bezwins.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 14:14

The problems I have with Halo 3 (after having gorged myself on CoD4) are, to name but a few:

1) It feels like you're walking through treacle at all times. It's sooooooo slooooooow.
2) It takes roughly seven thousand bullets to kill anyone - far, far more than in CoD
3) The lag is horrible
4) There's no customisation possible. The best players run fastest to the good guns, and you're stuck with bobbins if they get there first

It does have good points, namely:

1) Replays you can save!
2) Maps you can alter!
3) Fun vehicles!

But, well, meh...

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 14:16

I know.

But what else is there?

metalangel · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 14:17

...that we all own?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 14:18

Or is less than £10 to buy.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Nov 13, 2008 14:18

My shooties:

CoD4
Halo 3
Prey
Doom
Duke Nukem

I don't like "whoever's fastest to the rocket launcher wins" games.

I've always found the guns very balanced in UT. I hate the rocket launcher, for example, and prefer the flak cannon or minigun.

Use the power of words to explain further.

I played it. I didn't enjoy myself. I wondered what I could compare the experience to. I thought of a baked turd.

A staple in the northern diet, that. Deep fried on special occasions.

73%? You should start a reviews site. SnappiestGamer. You could publish the full review on Twitter.

Your mum makes me it every time I bonk her. That's why I'm over weight.

UT3 just left me cold really. Too twitchy by far and I've seen it all before, and better.

I don't particularly enjoy Hardcore mode, personally. I know Bobby plays it all the time, but it means I have to switch all my perks around, as I have 'Stopping Power' on pretty much every gun, which isn't too useful when one hit will usually finish someone off.

What annoys me about it is that at least half of my deaths every single time are from random fire. You don't need any sort of accuracy. So, so often an enemy is shooting at someone vaguely near me, and spray wildly. One bullet goes through a table and catches my big toe... and I'm dead.

I pretty much always end up positive on K/D ratios on regular games, and almost always negative on Hardcore. The only times I ever get positive are on maps like 'Bog', where I can sit at the back of the level and snipe.

I find the opposite, I played 5 or so games on hardcore team the other day and each game I ended up 30odd for 10 or so, and top of the team.
I tend to use stopping power and deep impact and it does the job, mainly best for shooting through cover. Its quite fun actually working as a team to find out where the other team is, asking people where they got shot from and stuff like that.
You need to be more quick sighted and firing really as without radar, you've got to listen for gunfire and footsteps. Its fun hearing someone walking near you, then stalking after them in crouch mode so they cant hear you then trying to get a headshot or knifing them

Gears of War 2 is the wave of the future. Just muscled through 50 levels of Horde with Dave, Pundy and Craig. Fucking awesome fun.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri Nov 14, 2008 11:12

5 players tops though yes?

myp · **Posted:** Fri Nov 14, 2008 11:25

I'm not buying GoW2 until it's £20, as I've still not finished the first one. I'm quite happy to play CoD4 for a while yet, as I didn't gorge on it like most did.

metalangel · **Posted:** Fri Nov 14, 2008 11:27

Same here... I rented it for a pizza-n-beer evening the night before a wedding and played co-op up to about halfway through the bats bit, and then we ran out of time.

myp · **Posted:** Fri Nov 14, 2008 11:36

Must be a tenner now - pick it up and we can play it through on Insane (once I've finished it on Hardcore).

metalangel · **Posted:** Fri Nov 14, 2008 11:55

But you're in London, so I can't.

*scratches ear with keys* I had my fun. And that's that matters.

You had it without me though...

Maybe in another timeline we co-habitate and play together. Forever.

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Nov 17, 2008 20:01

Sorry Dr Curiosity that I had to leave suddenly, MrsA came home.

At least the bomb got planted and went off. Not sure quite why there was opposition to this way of winning the game though.

Yeah, some strange people play it as if the bomb wasn't there... which is really a bit silly, as what is Team Deathmatch for if not that? I suppose they want to get more kills and all that, for more lovely points, but complaining that you planted the bomb is a bit much.

Still, I did get to mock some child for saying that it's as laggy as a BLT.

That was funny, shortly followed by the shout, "I knifed someone in the face" and then, much quieter, "I think he got the point."

Although the claims of camping were really funny, it is part of the game, if you don't want camping, play headquarters. I am using a sniper rifle, I am not going to run around with it.

I'm quite happy for people to hang back with sniper rifles and pick the enemyscum off from a distance, as it free me up to get on with important stuff. Like running around in circles, stabbing people in the face and getting shot in the head.

"I've got him! No... he got me! Bastard!"

That guy got about a 20 kill streak from standing still in the caves while we dashed headlong at him.

That was quite good fun as I enjoy trying to root someone out. That, and jum,ping on the other man's head was fun.
