Monday Night Recon

[Macca00]

Have another soccer game tonight at 9pm EST but hopefully on around 11:30 if you guys are still playing. Apart from playing on Monday with you guys (which was a lot of fun) I've had a pretty shitty time with this game, I think I've had the opposite experience to Spooky when it comes to randoms - absolute garbage. I would actually much rather play regular COD with randoms than this with randoms.

As an aside, anyone see this promotional video for the game?



LOL Tells me quite a bit about GR:FS's target audience......that's right - rappers who've been on crime dramas.

Any of you guys available to create a room tonight? I couldn't make Monday as work decided to get in the way.

Got an early day tomorrow so count me out...as much as I'd like to.

Wow, that was brutal. I know I've lost some of my shooter skill over the last few years, but that was just embarrassing. So, is playing in public matches the only way to earn levels to get the modifications to the weapons? I spent half the night with only iron sights because I had wasted my only mod token on a single fire trigger for my main weapon.

This game is prone to blowouts more than most. And as I said last night, I've never seen so many grenades and flanking as in our games last night. Try some games with other randoms, and even if you still suck, some games you'll stumble upon balanced teams.

Honestly I find upgrading the sights to be among the least worthwhile gun upgrades, as I rarely look through the sights myself. I just use the intermediate aiming, and use my upgrades on upgrading the trigger to semi-auto or burst, and change the muzzle, gas and stock for less power but more accuracy.

Fell asleep early last night fellas. Sorry.

Will upgrading the weapon for accuracy shrink the aiming area for the intermediate aiming? When using the left trigger aiming it was giving me an area that seemed several feet in diameter. I would fire and fire and fire at an enemy in the middle of that area and not take them down. Then they would turn and fire once or twice and I dropped. From the kill cam it always showed them aimed in precisely on me for the kill.

I'm not sure the exact mechanics of this game, I just found that when I made those changes, I started dropping guys much more often. Looking down the sights in this game is a little dis-orienting to me, so unless I can really stop and snipe a headshot, I don't bother.

Xerox.

Really bummed I missed last night, got back from soccer and the kid woke up and wouldn't get back to sleep for ages.

Boo-urns.

Had a really good couple of rounds of Saboteur last night....with randoms...

When you get a good room, it's a ton of fun, very, VERY tense and pulse pounding. When you don't, it's a frustration nearly unmatched.

Yep, my experience in a public room the other night almost had me wishing I wasn't done with school. What a way to come back to full-on gaming.

Hey, let's get some more Recon going tonight! 10:30pm eastern start time, full room!, starting with Saboteur and going from there. Who's in?

Oh, and lets get a poll=UAV's...in or out?

Personally, I vote 'in' on Saboteur, out on Conflict and hardcore mode. But we'll go with majority.

[FifaInspected]

I'm going to go out of my way to make this... Way too much fun on Saturday night!

[pk500]

I'll be there.

I'm going to die early and often with or without UAV's, so I'll abstain while those with the skill to make a difference decide the fate of those gadgets.
