[YorkshirePud]

If I'm on first I can always kill time with Stardrone

[YorkshirePud]

great gaming tonight fellas, sorry it was a bit brief! its me mums birthday as i explained and she's been a bit teary this week because we've sold me grans house, and she only passed away at christmas, and with it being her birthday she's been a bit upset all week, she's been ringing me to tell me any bit of news bless her.

anyways! good fun tonight those snipers fucked me off though in that square spawn area on the highway, just wish i could have got a motar beacon in!

[theENIGMATRON]

Still yet to use this motor beacon!! Maybe someone can show me one day lol!!
Good games tho!!!! Shame u went tho pud!!!
That game u left us on was epic lolol!!!

[InfiniteStates]

LOL yeah good games, but it went rapidly downhill from there. Bloody foreigners blabbing their foreign drivel into the mic to anyone that'll listen making the game lag.

[YorkshirePud]

its a bit difficult to find the mortar beacon but its only located near capture points for tactical spawns, its always in a tall stack of boxes and looks like a sentry bot beacon stood upright. ill show you next time

[InfiniteStates]

Apparently patch 1.06 is out to address the lag and a scoring issue...

[theENIGMATRON]

Am making PS3 times today!!!

Ill be doing my rounds!!!!

So am hitting Killzone3 now!! anyone want to join me! or too early for you all!!

Might hit some Battlefield later.... Also Possibly some Black Cocks if me mate goes online,

Finished off with some Need for Speed and maybe some RUSE or Red Alert wooooop woooop old times!!!

[YorkshirePud]

i was violently ill last night so im afraid if i come online its just for mass effect, my brain is too fucked to strategise

[theENIGMATRON]

ill meself
Killzone need strategy lol!!!
its a kill fest

[YorkshirePud]

your too right mate, i do think that KZ2 did develop some sort of tactics too it, but it usually involves putting turrets/drones in the right place and tactical camping

[InfiniteStates]

Mute all - about fucking time

"Hey all,



I know you want to be informed as much as possible. So I'm writing up the preliminary patch notes for Patch 1.07.

Explanation of Custom Games



Custom Games will be rolled out in 2 patches. This one (1.07) and a future patch. We don't know when this will be yet.



PHASE ONE


Phase One of Custom Games gives players the option to create unranked games with the choice of:

* Game Mode
* Map
* Missions (Warzone only)
* Mission Time (Warzone only)
* Invite Squad members
* Invite Enemy Squad Leader

This gives players the ability to create private matches, and playing with and against friends or a rival clan for instance. People who don’t get an invite to these games won’t be able to join through matchmaking.



PHASE TWO


We still need to spec this out, so this is subject to change, but we are looking to add the options of choosing:



* More configuration options for missions in Warzone and Operations
* Adjustable kill count for Guerrilla Warfare
* Configurable Unlocks (choose which one you want to play with)
* Configurable Classes (choose which one you want to play with)
* Configurable Weapons, Abilities, Skills, Ribbons
* Friendly Fire On/Off
* Brutal Melee On/Off

That's it for now!"

[InfiniteStates]

Just had a quick spin on 1.06 for the first time, and although its a bit hasty to say off just one game, it seems they fixed the lag and it's back to how it was in the good old days

If anyone's up for a game, I'll probably be on a bit later on. It's that or write a new sound engine, and I CBA with that TBH...

[YorkshirePud]
