Just to be clear - were you laughing at him or with him?

I would like to play MGS4 online, but was put off that you have to register a seperate user account - arrrrg! which numpty thought THAT was a good idea?

Bloody hell cagney, that looks interesting!

I was 26 people off 2000 people in a line last night!

Bought this the other day - didn't notice the demo until after I'd paid for it :/ Anyway, it is actually quite good fun, and surprisingly addictive. The game's major tradeoff is getting a longer line of people behind you (for which you get massive bonuses) vs the ease with which monsters will pitch into your line of refugees and force them to take cover in the nearest building making you go and collect them again. I think I've managed 946 people in a line before bottlnig it and making a beeline for the escape zone. Collecting 350 people+ from one building is no joke, and could take up to a minute or more. On levels that give you three minutes to complete the objectives, you fail! Also, I'm surprised at how difficult the game makes it - there's no 'easing you into it" - the second level is a long thin map with not a great deal of time and lots of zombies. I had many goes at it, and it made me angry, much to a friend's delight...who then completed the level on his first go. Still, I reckon it's worth a fiver, as it's occupied about 4 hours of my time already, and I find myself wanting to go back for more. http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/905/905778p1.html

...and not wipeout?

Get on the trickery server benny - we're trying to populate it at the moment.

Sent to you now TP.

Done! Very little interest as it goes!

It's about the only game I play on Live at the moment. Id is NorfolkNClue.

All forbidden.

Arena is quite fun, but pl_badwater! What a fabulous map!

I really like the atmosphere they've tried to conjure around the red/blue teams, sort of like a bunch of housemates going into battle with distinct 'personalities'.

Try toothpaste.

Played the first mission. Got bored.

Just updated our server if anyone's stuck.

I agree with this.

I'm horribly stuck, but am loathe to ask for tips or search youtube for answers. This makes me feel like I'm an idiot, as most people seem to have completed it. Still, it keeps me coming back.

I've got to the end of Act 1, and although quite good, I've sort of lost interest in it a little. Guess I should pick it up and give it a better go.

yeh, i've only played MGS1, and none of the others. A lot of the story is lost on me.

Ok, well it was worth a shot at least I'd love to write such a game (for the aforementioned bank reason), but similarly to you I have not a great deal of interest in sports games, especially footie mgt games, unlike you however, I have no skill at coding. So to that!

I see both your points...but...who cares! It's another valve produced PL map!
