GOW - Who's Man Enough?

R0B75 · 18 Dec 2006 at 10:17

Sorry I've not joined when you've invited me, I started the game on Insane last night, solo. It's tough.

Caustic · 18 Dec 2006 at 10:34

Thanks for the games last night guys. I was getting a few connection issues tho which was a shame. And at the end it kicked me out. (Just saying so you don't think I'm rude.)

Great games tho'. Cheers for the invite Krono!

EDIT: Is there anyway of finding out how many of the different types of kills you have? I was wondering if I am making any progress to getting those achievements.

The achivements are only for ranked play, and it only records your ranked kills.

I'm hoping with the patch (whenever it arrives) they will allow us to take a 4 man party into matchmaking and then allow us to pwn noobs

Edit: alternatively, one of us could host a ranked match, let OcuK know that you are doing so and how to search the game, then we could send messages about on XBL and the host can boot non ocuk members, that way we could have ranked matches with just us in them and alrik can pwn noobs.

Ugh.. when i get a hold of that boy and his massively long arms of doom..

Hmm I should be around tonight. Really need to get back into the game but my connection is all over the shop lately.

good games, I think I will have to stop hosting so I can see if alrik and cad mans complaints are justified (or just that they are sore losers)

I can take the deaths and losses no problem, its the circumstances that they happen in that get me worked up.

e.g Not being able to dive off a ledge, also diving behind cover only to be dragged back off of it (which happened last night and cost me my life)

This game has some major issues that need to be fixed, but half if not none of them will be. If you could re-configure the cover button to the Y button (which isn't used for anything important) it would solve the problem with diving behind cover while trying to run away. Also some weapon balancing needs to happen mainly the grenade tagging and the torque bow beatdown.

I could go into a long list of what needs fixinging and tweaking but I won't gio there.

Thanks and you can try

Edit: Forgot to mention Krono's new Mortal Kombat hax

Yep the multi player on this will die quickly unless they can add some better team play. The maps are good enough but some seige/territory would be cool.

Lancer power needs taking up a couple of notches to make distance firefights worth the effort and also to stop someone being able to run at you with a shot gun. I mean no one would actually run at a guy with a machine gun and get away with it.

Alrik · 18 Dec 2006 at 16:34

Its plenty powerful enough people just try and hit people moving side to side and miss about 90% of the shots. You hit someone in the body for 2-3 seconds straight they will go straight down.

What people lack is accuracy, they fire off 2 whole clips and miss just about every round and expect their opponent to go down.

Wrathamon · 18 Dec 2006 at 17:10

Count me in for tonight too ... having a bad day today, so just the excuse to *try* and kill some people on GOW!

SiD the Turtle · 18 Dec 2006 at 17:56

My main bugbear is the apparent host bonus. Sure, Krono is several orders of magnitude better than me at this game, but when he runs round a corner right into my shotgun, I shoot first and him second, but I die its very annoying. Not your fault Krono, just lag.

dannyjo22 · 18 Dec 2006 at 18:13

I dont understand why this doesn't happen in other games though??

Maybe I'm just crap then

I haven't noticed elsewhere as I only play with you guys.

No mate I didnt mean to others, I meant in other games such as Graw or R6. Why the shoot first lag/bug only in GOW.

I mean krono almost always hosted in Graw too but he stunk up the room, infact that suffered no shoot first problems. You could let Krono start firing go for a cup of tea, come back and shoot him in the face.

Why doesn't that happen on GOW too

Tonight we will see if its luck, lag or accuracy

TBH there is 2 or 3 shots a night I think, bloody hell "<insert name>/alrik" isn't going to be happy about that, I probably should have died there.

With Cadman I know every kill he is going to protest. Even the clean ones.

TBH the only thing I find annoying is the not jumping off low ledges. Everything else I can live with.

Thats because he insisted on using the sniper rifle even though he was crap with it and against the MK48 LMG he just got shot to pieces, also note theres no shotguns in GRAW
