I have plenty of games i still want to buy  :doh:

I thought Liberty City Stories is the newest one? I only have The Ballad Of Gay Tony as seperate download. I liked it more than GTA IV with Niko Bellic, they did an awesome job on the base jumping!
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Capt. Matt on November 22, 2009, 16:47:19
Maybe it is the newest :P I didnt really like GTA VI I have San Andreas which is great...but graphics are Poor  :-\

Ballast you have a 360?

EDIT: I was confused with Liberty City Stories and Episodes form Liberty City (The one I want)
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Ballast on November 22, 2009, 17:38:22

Hmm hard to tell but probally the 360 and the Wii (because of the Mario games).

And yours Matt?
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Capt. Matt on November 22, 2009, 18:40:40
PS3...thats why I own one...online gaming is free....best graphics.....most reliable system...and offers the most of all of them, least favourite is wii...and I was going to get an xbox but the fact that live costs money and the fact that there were always software failures made me move away from it
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Ballast on November 22, 2009, 19:07:15
The graphics of the xbox 360 elite and the PS3 are equal. Such a shame the regular 360 doenst have a HDMI connection.

I never had any failures though *knocks on wood*, although my xbox makes more noise than a Pratt and Whitney on full rpm  :D

120 GB  :) You can also copy the games on the HD from the disc, it will reduce the noise alot!

The only spec ops i completed was The Pit in 29,8 seconds. Got 3 stars for that  :angel:

Did you already had a tactical nuke on multi player? That's way out of my league  :doh:
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Nathan|C on November 22, 2009, 21:03:37
No, the best streak I got was 21, with the AC130 :doh:

That's a good score for the pit, I think I got 2 stars too, can't remember the time exactly  :-\

I've had 4 Nukes so far. There's one map called 'Wasteland', and when that comes up, my mates keep telling me to put the nuke on my Killstreaks!

Nothing better than having your team absolutely destroy another team, then tell them to back off and hide because you have a Nuke, let the other team come within 10 points of winning, let them capture the final hill, and just before they do, setting off the Nuke. Lovely :)

I love my thermal sight at Wasteland  ;D The best way to find the annoying campers with their sniper rifles!

What do you have as standard killstreak Jayshum? I got the UAV, care package and the predator. I'm not that far yet due to some courses im following now.
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Nathan|C on November 23, 2009, 17:48:16
I have the care package, Harrier Airstrike and AC130  ;D
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Ballast on November 23, 2009, 17:51:22
The harriers are easy targets for rocket launchers and so..  ;D
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Jayshum on November 24, 2009, 15:09:17
Small maps, I take the UAV, Care Package, and Predator. That's a spot-on tactic for smaller maps because the fighting is more intense, and there's a 50/50 chance that you might get something amazing (like the Hercules or Apache), so that's bob on I'd say.

For bigger maps however, I'd say that once you get to a level where you feel comfortable getting big Kill streaks, try the higher ones. Harrier Strike, Stealth Bomber and then Hercules (AC130).

And if you get host (like me!) a lot, and you've played far too much CoD4, and know every nuance of the game, then THIS is the way to get a Nuke:

Harrier Strike (Airstrike and Helicopter in one technically. Make sure a friend has a UAV to activate when you call this, as it'll then absolutely murder the other team!).
Apache (chopper gunner). Forget the AC130 if going for the nuke. It's fun, but it only lasts about 20 seconds. You'll have the chopper gunner for about 45 seconds, and you'll get a lot of kills with it very quickly, leading to you getting the...
Tactical Nuke.

So yeah, that's what I pack on Wasteland and such. Harrier, Chopper Gunner, Nuke. My best friend plays with me all the time, and he gets an excellent feed when it's my host (as he's only down the road), so he uses the same as me almost, except he swaps the Nuke for the EMP. The EMP is the only way you can stop a Tactical Nuke in progress, very handy for when you're getting trounced by the other team! :)

I just played last night until very late, and didn't come across it once, and that's because people have heard about the consequences of doing it (on the 360 atleast!). Doing it even once will result in a one-day suspension, multiple times equates to a two-week suspension. It's areas like this that Microsoft excels with Live.

Meanwhile, Sony has decided to take no action, leaving people free to ruin the game on the PS3 until the patch is released! Have fun with that guys. :/

Uhm no :P Why when theres MW 2 and COD 4 and GTA  ::)

I hope IW solves the Javelin glitch soon. Yesterday afternoon some kid had 36 kills (and 36 deaths  :doh:) on groundwar with this glitch.

Downloaded Call of Duty Classic yesterday evening. After playing that for a few hours, we should be thankful for the graphics and gameplay in the new CoD game  ;D

Bought this wireless headset for the xbox 360, so i can talk to my brother during spec ops on MW2. Quality is excellent, too bad the battery will only last for 8 hours without re-charging.

i went into gamestation and asked if the wireless one's were any good he said that the quality was poor and that if its on to much it will burn your ear because it overheats alot
Title: Re: Gamers topic
Post by: Ballast on December 12, 2009, 16:12:29
I used mine yesterday evening and today non-stop since this morning. I don't have any problems with heatness after using it a long time. The only thing that is poor, is the first second (or half a second) when somebody starts talking. You can easily solve this by first say something, like "hey" and then say what you want to say.
