Just had a good 48/12 game on attacking Port Valdez. The opposition were totally weird though. Far more inclined to base rape you than to actually defend their MCOMs. It did help that their Apache pilot was a complete novice too. Didn't last long anyway above our tanks. :) Anyone had trouble...

Same on Port Valdez with the Russians. Bugs me (when playing either side) when players nail them in the air. Especially on Port Valdez when the Yanks rush that hill/mountain right in front of the Russians and simply spray the air with lead. The best death for me on that was spawning in as a...

Good point. It does make 'sense' for this to be played with a pad. I tried it with my 360 controller originally and where the peripheral controls of the game were excellent with it, I found the shooting and rapid targetting of the grappling hook really difficult. Switched to the K&M and it's...

Fecking annoying, ain't it? They do it so that any online game the user launches, their game response isn't slowed down by the download in the background. If I'm downloading something in Steam and launch a game, I simply Alt+Tab back to the Steam library and click on Resume for the download to...

I didn't know you worked there, Lee? I'm on Shadsworth, just behind you. You're dangerously close to that new Subway there. I bet your waistline has taken a beating! ;) D.

Diablo III for me. Had it on pre-order since May 2010 and hopefully now that Blizzard has got WoW Cataclysm out there, they will concentrate on the third installament of Diablo. D.

It ticked so many potential boxes, but just ended up being boring for me. It didn't have the depth or 'RPGness' to it like the Fallout series, but was quite bland as an FPS as well. Online co-op seemed riddled with issues as well for the PC version. Probably better on the consoles though. D.

FLOL. No, I didn't! :) D.

Hmmm - not sure about that. Even simple things like the ground textures are much better and sharper defined than the likes of Battlefield BC2. The latest Medal of Honour has some decent scenery too - but with Crysis, we're talking 2007 and it still outshines a lot of current stuff. The...

I'm probably about 51/49% in favour of rush mode, I reckon - lol. I do prefer it, but the map choice makes a massive difference to the way the round is played. Some maps just don't work properly imo in rush mode, whereas the likes of Port Valdez and Arica Harbour to name but two, are just pure...

Cool. I haven't used that yet. I will be doing from now on though. :) Cheers, D.

The lack of a decent save facility is beginning to grate on my nerves now. Pisses me off slightly when you get nailed and have to traverse 8kms or so of hostile road, just to get back to where you were. Surely there's a better way than that? :S D.

It was at one point, yup! D.

I know I sound like a broken record with this, but if anyone is remotely interested in a decent RTS and have the hardware to make it look fluffy - then buy Company of Heroes. Perfection, in World War II form.... http://store.steampowered.com/sale/holiday2010_companyofheroes D.

Thread revamp! Just about got a machine spec worthy of Crysis with all the bells and whistles on. Strangely, there's no default resolution choice for 1920x1200, so I'll have to look into that. Instead, I'm currently rolling slightly lower on 1680x1050 - but fcuk me! Maxed with everything set to...

I've got the stake ready. Have you got the matches to hand? :) D.

Oh dear. The feeble minds of the meek and uneducated...... ;) K&M pwns any controller out there. Simple as. D.

Yep I did m8 - accepted it too. :) D.

Now, now sailor-boy! ;) Probably down to habit more than anything. The first game I got for the PC was Aces of the Pacific back in '92 and the flying controls defaulted to the arrow keys. Then less than a year later when the Doom demo came out, they were either the same or lads and I at uni...

You map a key to the grenade choice - mine's set to Page Dn as I'm an old skool arrow keys player - none of this AWSD key malarky! ;) When you throw a pack of C4 it sticks to whatever it hits and you can throw multiple ones onto a target. Walk away and hold down the same key (again, Page Dn for...

Anyone know the script with collapsible buildings? Being the recent UAV wh0re that I am, does the target building have a set number of hit points before collapse? Or do you have to remove sections of the building for it to structurally collapse? D.

It might be down to a better postcode as well. You lot in Scotland can appear to insure a Veyron for under a fiver anyway. ;) D.

For that money - I'd definitely get the Brothers in Arms pack instead. I played and completed all three games in the series and throught they were brilliant. :) D.

Same here. According to the stats, I'm 5% through it with about 7 hours of game time. They really have cherry-picked good features from many games. Like you mention with Farcry 2 - especially with that little warning 'radar' in the top left corner that tells you when you're near a pickup...

That King Arthur is a good Total War Medieval/Rome clone. Loads of 'backroom' options to it like providing 'ladies in waiting' for your Knights of the Round Table - lol. D.

Lol - just had a bit of a UAV killing fest on vanilla BC2. Managed a 20/3 final score with 16 of those kills being down to my UAV. Don't those guys ever look up? :S ;) D.

Legitimately? Sort of... ;) D.

Added. :) Just picked up the original Crysis for £2.49 :cool: D.

I'm convinced that players like this really have not got a clue in how to play an FPS online. The killer for me is when you're getting trounced by vehicles and people start spawning as bloody recons and medics. FFS - get the engi's out! Thankfully it doesn't happen much, but jesus, some people...

I think this is where some of the Steam offers are getting a 2nd lease of life. Most laptops can easily handle the likes of KOTOR now and they are great to play while the missus is watching Corrie/Eastenders, etc. :) D.
