:tup: looking forward to the old style play Not to sound to much like a PC elitist but I am one so anything I say will sound like that, do you find "dumbing down" of fps games a bit condescending or am I too crotchety and its in fact much better to have a more stream lined game aka "action packed"? -Classes boiled down to 4 instead of bf2 7 classes -squad leader tactics removed due to spawning on any one you please -smaller squads 4 instead of 6 -no menu commands for squads (I know bc2 has some squad commands but you have to use the same key for spotting targets as well as "hey I want to repair your tank" or "can I have a ride" can be kinda annoying when your spotting a sniper for your team and your friend runs past your screen and you end up asking him for a medkit) -no commander could go on ad infinitum, but really its nit picky stuff. Am I the only one that feels games are becoming too impatient?

BF1942 thru BF2142 all featured squad play as the main game mechanic. Really dice is marketing they're old features like they're brand new, but I'm ok with that because I was still playing bf2 mods till this beta opened up hoping for a new shiny version. This is not BF3 (rumored to be in the works) there are too many features missing for my taste but at lest it will quell the hunger for a squad based fps. Because its in beta right now its very buggy so hopeful we will see some real polish before march. That being said this game is amazing logged 20hours the first 2 days it was out reached max rank/unlocks for the beta and keep going back for more. Oh and toblix this game is more about action then previous titles, you can now spawn on any one of your squad mates instead of just the squad leader. Pick the closest squady to the front lines. Also the rush mode forces your combat to happen in a smaller area. Large parts of the map are locked off to players till one objective zone is taken then the defender team is forced to fall back to the next base of objectives. This creates a narrow pathway where combat ensues. Apparently I'm boring because I preferred the older slower style where you had to plan where you would strike from and the badies could be around/on top of/sniping you from, any building/hilltop/trees/little pond by the road and what have you. In this mode its very directed, Ok there is A and B site, we know where the defenders are going to be go get them repeat/swap teams. Still as much griping I do about the gamers of today having no patience to play a good game the game is tons of fun.

If you have to explain your new web page layout didn't you fail at making a good layout?

hmm perhaps my stalker was some weird corrupted disk or something, but it was my impression the general feeling on the game was close to unplayable at certain points due to game breaking bugs. problem I had with stalker and farcry both, the stealth kinda felt like it didn't work as well as it should have. Well to be honest In stalker I was getting shot by the AI with out being able to see anyone at all. I guess its something to do with npcs can see and shoot you when your wading in the thickest of sprites but if you hide behind any mesh tree then they lose you.

Agreed go with farcry2. Not having played Vampire: Masquerade: Bloodlines or Stalker: Clear sky I can't really say what would be better. I did however play the first stalker game and that was a painful experience, so if the 2nd one is anything like the first one go with farcry2 for a more polished game. Bloodlines looks dated from the google imgs that i checked out. I'm a sucker for shiny gfx and farcry2 will blow you away ;D.

Correct! Enter friend and welcome.

I'm thinking of getting the THQ pack and gifting the stuff I already own to a friend. I have wanted to try out space asshole for a while after watching that youtube video on the front page.

I can just hear Jake making a sweet box quote "Now with 2nd hidden blades!" and "Stab 2 dudes in the head at the same time" That said I find stabbing two dudes at the same time to be repeatedly satisfying. Try stealing a pole-arm (spears or halberds) counter animations are quite brutal and fantastic. Hammer/blunt weapon animations are also painful looking but gets stale quicker, many of the guards have some kinda of mace on them so pole-arms are more of a treat.

Shiny suds is terrifying.

skip the intro, but turn that podcast back on Dan Carlin shits gold. His history stuff I enjoy more so then the political stuff but both are amazing.

eh? there wasn't really a set time i thought.

So been really missing this pod cast so I downloaded every ep and started from the top again(planning a road trip where i will make my friends listen to them all ) This pod cast was amazing from day one.

I was planning on getting this for my pc, but i found out its out today for ps/xbox and coming out for pc 2010 march 16th. sooooo that sucks alot. I'll just watch it over my brothers shoulder on the ps and then not get it for my pc unless there is some sweet mods or something but I don't expect anything that great for it. : (

YES PLEASE ;D why do i want to see that so much that's kinda weird.

Best house in the galaxy or even universe assuming other galaxies are shit and ours is the best.

Were like brother citys? our sports teams often play each other so I guess rivalry? (not sure don't watch much sports only hockey once in a while, aka playoffs ;p ) Edmonton is only cool cuz I live here. my house > my jack ass neighbors my neighborhood > rest city my city > other cities in Alberta Alberta > other provinces in Canada Canada > other places in the world Earth > Mars Sol > aliens suck

Ahh IEDs. They make the unlock guns convoy attack mission really enjoyable. That is up until the point where you let a soft chuckle slip out at the carnage you have created forcing your friend to look over your shoulder at what your playing and you and him both realize at that very moment you are role playing a terrorist. Awwwwwkward

Calgarians pffffff, Edmontonians is where its at.

hmmm where is that pic of ps3 power cord with socks ?

Well just finished it up. the ending where you guys were bsing was fantastic. Thanks for letting us hang out with you guys for 50 ep (that's what it feels like just chillen with you guys. really gonna miss that)

Agreed, that banner blew me away -ign.com also downloading and getting ready for the tears ;_;

I'd listen to a podcast called bargo busters for sure. For some reason my brain thinks alliteration is terribly attractive.

countdown to tears is over :'-( But yea like everyone else is saying gonna really miss you guys you were by far the best podcast I could find(dan carlin rules but there is no wizards) Oh also every time you guys are like no one wants to hear this or we can't let this go on the pod cast I always want more of what ever the subject was. The best ones were when you would just trail off into some tangential zone and show a game in a way I've never thought about before. (space asshole/terrorist, 3rd world tool depended dawn of discovery) Gonna miss your shenaniganry, -Love Tibz

no no no you can't stop :<
