For what it is woth zeppo was really enjoying it also. I was playing the game with him last night for almost three hours.

You got that right, buddy! I have to say, the time just flew by last night, when FIFAInspected said he had to go I could not BELIEVE it was 12:30!

Online MP was outstanding stuff. Maybe once we get a full understanding of all the maps (they're not very big), we might get bored of it. But I doubt it! Some maps we did over and over, and it was pretty different each time around, even though some of them were very direct (grab the item at point A and get to point B). The stealth factor, so to speak, is pretty cool online, where it's hard to tell where anyone is until that first fire order gets unleashed.

I almost enjoyed our 1 on 1 games the most, when we each had 2 squads. But I think a little more comfort about the controls and tactics will make 2 on 2 absolutely great. With the squad and yourself, it's almost like you have 4 groups when you have a teammate. On that map with the truck we did at the end, I used my guys as the fire team and myself as the assault team for that final push. That BTW was an all-time online MP highlight for me, succeeding at that mission with FIFA as time was failing, taking out whoever it was trying to disarm the charge. That was so much fun I can't begin to describe it!

Let's just say I'm glad I didn't give in to my trepidation, and I hope there are more guys getting the game, to get in games online because online is tons of fun. Maybe the depressed expectations are serving me well, in that it's surpassing those expectations with grace and ease.

Good stuff, Gearbox. Now they have to patch the online problems. One d/c is too many, and we had 3 or 4 among the 4 of us last night. No bouncy firends list, though.

Man, with this, First to Fight arriving too soon, RS:Lockdown, and later SC:CT coming; too many good games, too little time. Now to get back to my WE ML for a game sometime soon . . .

F*ck you, Zep: Your impressions are tempting me, and so is that $37.99 sticker price at CompUSA.

Take care,

Re: Bothers In Arms

Hey Zep, I got your invites, sorry I didn't hop on. I was playing single player, then went to talk 2 of my buddies into getting it on GR2. I'll be on this weekend a lot though, here's to some good games!

Ah, just get it PK. The little one can't be keeping you that busy.

You know we'll still have our GR2 Poker Nights, and we can mix some BIA in there as well. I plan on picking up the game this evening. Hopefully, I'll be able to jump online with it tonight.

No jumping friends list sealed the deal!

Sully:

A Kieron Dyer avatar? Come on, man, I know he scored the winner against Bolton, but the guy is a puke. A real cancer in the dressing room. They call him "60 Grand" in the team because all he talks about is that he's on 60 grand per week for pay.



Shearer is my favorite, as you know. Now that Big Al is retiring after this season, I need to find a new King Magpie. I do like Jenas, but my emerging young favorite player on the team is defender Steven Taylor.

Last week was Kluivert's header against Chelsea, and this week Dyer had the winner against Bolton. Being a fairly new fan to the sport, this talk about Dyer is news to me...definitely not someone I'd support. He is pretty good in WE8 though!

Something tells me that my avatar after the Liverpool match won't be celebratory.

Back to the topic...just pick up the game PK!

EDIT: Thanks for the new title, PK.

Re: Bothers In Arms

I ended up getting this on a whim as well, and boy am I glad I did. By far the best WWII FPS I've ever played. The AI is very dynamic. It's definitely a game pk would love!
