[Mosasauria]

Anybody else really loving the Battlefield 3 beta?

[Ceannairceach]

i hate them in any of the games

You know of any weapons or anything that'll help me out? I'd really like to kill the mother deathclaw at the quarry but I need something to kill the 11+ deathclaws that guard her.

Me and Boone did it, me with that unique desert campaign sniper rifle and him with his regular gun. Took a while of luring and shooting, but it got the job done.

I think I used Mercy heavily around the quarry. Trouble is to get it you have to go through other deathclaws.

cant get on any more as it stop loading or something happening on EAs side so there no connection

[Wiztopia]

So anyone else playing the Battlefield 3 beta on Xbox? It seems that there are many problems indeed with it and hopefully DICE will fix them before the final release, and what's with no vehicles and destructible environment?

me run into number of cheater in it yesterday who were using the bugs to get knife kills from a mile away and shooting when dead too

You really can't call people who use glitches cheaters. Now if they actually hacked the game then yes you could.

Exploiting a glitch is still cheating. It's the same as finding a loophole in football rules that means you can use an automatic weapon. Is it against the rules? No. Does it violate the spirit of the game? Yes.

Then it isn't cheating.

Not technically, but it really isn't fair play. Again, automatic weapon in football. Even if there's nothing in the rules that says you can't violently murder the other team on the pitch, it's definitely cheating to violently murder the opposing team.

I couldn't sleep when I tried taking a nap today so I wound up hooking up my 360 and playing Left 4 Dead single player. Am I the only person who purposely shoots witches?

if i remember correctly a point blank shot to the head with a shotgun should be enough to take em down but don't call me out on that, i just remember that fact.
i actually liked the witches mechanic in that game, it's the bloody sound effects that pissed me off, i don't want to relax to a game by hearing some screeching in the middle of nowhere. i get that all the time in real life as it is.

If you're looking to relax I'm pretty sure L4D/L4D2 is a bad game choice

I'm trying to. Too bad the servers are shit-tastic in the sense they NEVER WORK.

precisely, that's why i go with sandboxy games atm, but occasionally i suppose i don't mind a bit of franticness

[Vorradia]

who remembers red faction guerilla?

Ive heard the new one (Armageddon) is utter crap, but man I can tell you 'guerilla' was awesome!

[The Darwinian People]

I own a PS One (I don't play on it, however), a PS2 (reserved for rare occasions to play Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, all my other games have been sold) and an Xbox 360 (With only 4GB of memory it's reserved mainly for playing Mass Effect; one, two and three when it comes out, and Halo 3). I also play Hasbro's 'Axis and Allies' on PC (my motherboard graphics card can support games with low to moderate graphics such as 'Soldier Front' and 'Perfect World', I play both infrequently).

I've been on a EU3 binge lately. It's a paradox game so it's obvious complex and tedious, but it's not stressful or jitter-inducing like action games. It's good to me.

idk i've played that a bit too, after the initial 10 hours of understanding the game mechanics and following like 20 hours of finding out the hidden ones i wasn't too taken with it. Burgundian Louisiania shouldn't be in Canada it's just wrong.

I like to get faded and rock out on my ol' Sega Genesis.

I'm a vet of Paradox games - I bought the original EU shortly after release, and played EU2 for hundreds of hours, so I didn't have too big of a learning curve. I still prefer EU2 to EU3, but I gotta keep up with the times, you know?

Minecraft is really great for just chill-axing. Until you get the irresistible urge to build a 300 ft long zeppelin, a stealth bomber, ICBMs all of which work designed to work in movecraft and actually work. (Well except the Zeppelin that just crashes the server due to its sheer size)

PS3 Users: Today while attempting to apply the most recent system software update my system will freeze at 99% during the update process. I've restarted it several times, but all it does is go straight back to the download screen. I've looked for some answers online, but haven't anything that's worked. If you have experienced this problem, what did you do?

Please and thank you.
