Title: here we go again
Post by: reaper79666 on August 10, 2010, 05:20:50 PM
back in 2009 when i fisrt joined 360 df i did not have many xbox games and i posted a similar thread to this. back when it looked like the end of the world as we know it i made a decision to get rid of most of my online games. now that the site is still going strong and im back online for a well as long as i can. i find im back to square one again. i only have a few online games including gow,mw2, halo 3 last time i gamed we voted for one game but ended up playing gow 2 horde lol is that still the same? anyway i need a list of games to buy so i might rejoin the chaos that is friday gaming nights lol

The last few weeks have been Gears 2, Red Dead Redemption, Left 4 Dead 2 and Bad Company 2, COD4 I think too, I only play Gears 2 of course.   :)

Failed is in charge of Game Nights now and whatever wins one week won't be in the running the following week so as to keep things fresh, he's also set up a Wednesday Theme Night so we've got more variation in the games we play together, never a bad thing, though I only play Gears 2.   ;D

Well Reaps, We tend to keep GoW Horde for Sunday night's. For Friday gaming nights we try and keep it different each week by leaving out whatever game we played the previous Friday from the votes as to make sure we do not play the same game 2 weeks in a row.
If you look at the Friday gaming nights thread and poll you can see the most popular games being played at the moment, You can also check here to see what multi-player games everyone has here: http://360fahrenheit.com/fahrenh1_forum1/index.php?topic=1438.0 (http://360fahrenheit.com/fahrenh1_forum1/index.php?topic=1438.0)
There is also now a Wednesday game night, You may want to check out what is being played then, These do tend to really be a mixed bag, From Themed nights, Driving, Co-op, Arcade and so on.

As a recomendation I would say Red Dead Redemption (fantastic game) and Bad Company 2 (I own but have yet to play) seem to be the most popular, And I think most members would agree that these two games would be a wise choice.

Gears 2 is a must, we have so much fun with that. Bad company is fantastic way better than the modern warfare games IMO, but i think it's still expensive as is RDR, which is also bloody awesome and a great laugh when we play together!

Cheapest i've seen for the 360/PS3 version of Bad Company 2 is £22.99, Play/HMV and Zavvi have it at £24.99, probably find it cheaper than that too, RDR hasn't even dropped below £35 yet or at least I haven't seen it anywhere for less than that.

The hype was entirely justified. It takes a while to get into online, but once you do it's amazing. It's all about teamwork - planning your attacks carefully together, flanking the enemy, sacrificing yourself for the good of your team, taking a tank/chopper together while on drives and one shoots the crap outta the other team, having one guy as a medic that can heal and revive team mates, one as an engineer that can take down enemy vehicles, one as a sniper that can hold your position on the map, and one as an assault specialist so they can give teammates ammunition  - or any combination of those. The ranking and pins/medals system is very addictive too. There are no glitchers or cheaters that i have come across either, and no where near as many spawn campers as the modern warfare series, but the emphasis on team play however means that the game is WAY more fun with friends. If you ever want to play reaps i am ALWAYS up for it, as i am sure jaynestown, failed, dark master, markav and others will be. Play it regularly online for a good week or so as i did and you will love it, me and jaynestown weren't keen at first but we love it now. (although we are crap at it lol) Hope this helps  :)

I just know that the day I buy BC2 will also be the day that everybody here turns against it and decides that they never want to touch it again.

Fool me once, shame on you (Modern Warfare 2). Fool me twice, shame on me.

Well I watched th :(e vid took on board the differences and that I'm not that good anyway and I have decided its mw 2 in disguise. I have just played a thing called rush and a team death match. More campers than mw 2 and all the time I git killed was from a Fucking sniper. The game seems good maybe I'm doing something wrong.but its gonna take some convincing for me not to trade it in after 3 days of play.
Title: Re: here we go again
Post by: Failed on August 24, 2010, 08:25:19 PM
suppose it's not everyones cup of tea, go back to MW2 atleast you can get a helicopter after 3 kills and just let that kill people instead of using a gun :P :P

i didn't appreciate it until i found that the medic class suits me awesomely!!
Title: Re: here we go again
Post by: reaper79666 on August 24, 2010, 08:38:37 PM
I'm not giving up on it yet its just like mw 2 when you first start spawn die and repeat lol hopefully I will unlock a better fun and a perk if it has any to help me out if maybe a better team than the ones I end up on who all go it alone. But thanks for putting me in my place o :-X

Played that rush thing again last night and you lot are right it is good. This time around there were less snipers and more running around and I even got to use a chopper who h I crashed killing all on board. So far not to bad hopefully be on it some more today
Title: Re: here we go again
Post by: Failed on August 25, 2010, 08:28:58 AM
we played Rush last night (me, MarkyV and Dfuzz) and i'm almost positive everyone except Dfuzz was an Engineer :P was great fun, we got hard opposition to start off with but we skipped out and retried and got a good even game followed by us slaughtering the enemy.

I also got another MvP award along the way and some Stars including a Gold aircraft star worth 5000xp, what with me being the UAV master!

Post by: DFUSIONITE on August 25, 2010, 09:32:56 AM
yeah i got the heavy weapons gold star. Honestly reaper you will start to enjoy it soon, and if you are playing rush the other team have to camp in order to defend. I mean't there weren't as many spawn campers, which in my experience there aren't.

Once you start unlocking the better weapons and gun sights/perks it becomes an amazing game
