Some games are better than others.

If you want to give it another try let me know. I can always kill some time.

Is North America one region for the servers? Because if it is then I'll add you guys and we might be able to get a small nation lobby going.

I would be up for that, Silver

The latest patch may have gotten rid of the region lock! Can we try to confirm this, please?! It would be AWESOME playing with everyone again. (^_-)d

There's been a new patch? Sweet.
I'll give this a look tonight then. If any or our AU buddies can try to get in game with me then (or you too, Red) that'd be great.

Remember, my PSN for this game is "ONE800LAZERFACE". (^_-)d

There was a patch?



Is the terrible lag fixed yet?

Going to jump on now and find out for myself.

I tried to send a friend request, but you're full up on this account.

EDIT: Patch 1.05 is 503 MB, if anyone was wondering. Taking me about 15 minutes to download.

Double Post

This time around they appear to have added a game mode and a new map. I didn't notice any bad lag, but then again it wasn't usually too terribly bad before. YMMV

The new map is called East End.
Somewhat similar to Ace Chemical in design, it's a large square around a solid central structure that you can't climb over, and with numerous vents scattered about for ease of flight. There are small alleys and little hallways as well. Lots of cars on the streets for cover.
That's all I really got out of a single game on it. I think it's got potential though.

The game mode is called Bounty Hunter.
It's a lot like TDM, but the counter goes by the number of bounties collected, not by kills. See, whenever anyone dies they drop a token. If an enemy dies and you collect their token you get a point, and vice versa. However, you can also collect ally tokens to keep them out of enemy hands.
I'm a bit skeptical of one part, which is that on collecting a bounty token you are given a Painbringer buff to your damage. I think that this might have the potential to devolve the game into something akin to CoD killstreaks that hand the one who gets them first a lot more kills for less effort. Didn't happen in any of the games I played, happy to say, so maybe I worry for nothing. Hope so.
Overall I did enjoy the mode quite a bit, so if PB doesn't get too out of hand I think it'll be where I spend my time now.

So far so good on this patch, imho.

No other GCI guys were on at the time, so I couldn't test region lock. Maybe tomorrow night.

Ill have to check it out though. Sounds pretty cool.

I enjoyed it.
The exp wasn't bad either.
And because of the PB bonus being nearly constant, it was easier to rack up my own Rampage, Tough as Nails. I imagine any of the Rampages will be easier to get in this mode because you'll either be scoring lots of points and living, or dying to those who are and getting them that way.

That game mode sounds a lot like MW3's kill-confirmed mode

Yeah, it's not a new idea. What'll decide whether or not it's good is in how well it's executed. That remains to be seen.

Cleared up some spaces on my buddy list & invited you, Cobalt! (^_-)d

Region locked?

Invite accepted, Red.

We're looking into it, Wadey.

i havent played this in a long time >_<; i didnt even know there was an expansion for it!

dear Lord i hope region lock is done.

I'll be on for the next hour or so if any of out EU folks, down under dwellers, or reds of the rising sun want to check out that region lock.

If not there's always later. No rush.

Red and I confirmed today that games between USA and Japan are possible.
Bodes well for our Australian friends, I believe.

We should all try to get as global of a party as we can going.
Sound good to anyone? Suggestions for day/time are welcome if so.

Sounds fooking great to me but I'm still offline

Just when good luck shines, here comes irony's shadowy mass.

Well, that sucks Wadey. Game'll still be here when you do get back on though.

i thought red used a US psn account?

I think he has two accounts for GCI.
