13/6 on Quarry. Any game where I come out ahead is a good game!

Battlefield 1943
I own a few digital downloads. Trials HD, Splosion Man and Battlefield 1943. Of the three I haven’t played Bf1943 that much, probably because I have MW2 to keep me busy, and I can play Trials and Splosion Man when my son is around. (Ask him about Splosion Man, he loves watching that!)
Above is a gameplay video by NextGenTactics. It’s from last July. I really should try to play more it before Bad Company 2 comes out!
Extra game modes in Modern Warfare 2
Modern Warfare 2 has extra game modes! Sort of!
Gladiators
This has to be my favorite .. and it’s customary to shout out ” I’M RUSSEL CROWE ” or “FIGHTIN’ ROUND THE WORLD” …
How to play : Everybody equips riot shields and throwing knives , nobody is allowed use their secondary … This results in an epic battle of riot shields..
(for added fun , have everyone throw smoke grenades and fight in the mist like Spartans)

MW2 Strategy for Estate TDM (FAMAS)
Geoff show some tactics for Estate TDM on Modern Warfare 2 that I used last night and worked fairly well.
I had an interesting match as 99% of the time in Estate everyone seems to attack and defend in the large house but in this game 3 enemy holed up in one of the other buildings. A sniper even set himself upstairs in the attic too. He killed me the first time I stumbled in there but I came back, sneaked up on him and looked down at him for a few seconds before swiping my knife.
Should have used scavenger because I ran out of ammo shortly after, I use far too much of it sometimes. I also should have used my assault class with ninja pro instead of commando after I was killed by a heart beat sensor wielding m16.
It was a tough night, in another game on Rundown I came out top of my team with 13 kills, and 11 deaths. Needless to say we lost!
Oh yeah, if you invert the Y axis on your controller, watch out when you’re guiding the predator missile. The Y axis is inverted there too! After a few disastrous attempts I gave up and went back to the sentry gun. *sigh*
How to kill with your laptop
Don’t try this with your Macbook. It’s not quite as robust as the laptops in Modern Warfare 2!
Good list of Modern Warfare 2 perks here…
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Review
The Guardian Technology Games Blog reviewed Battlefield Bad Company 2 a few hours ago. The review is in my feedreader but not on the site. Odd.
Anyway, they gave it the thumbs up with a score of 4/5.
Compared to Modern Warfare 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has skulked into the fray well below the radar, but committed fans of military first-person shooters will find it in no way inferior gameplay-wise. If you see yourself as a true, hardcore gamer, you’ll be needing a copy.
Subscribe to their blog through Google Reader and you should be able to see it!
Some friends of mine are/were huge Count…
Some friends of mine are/were huge Counter Strike fans. I only played it a few times, almost always at lan parties, but thankfully never came across bunny hopping:
If you don’t know what bunny hopping is, a message on this thread linked to the Wikipedia page on the practice.
Bunny hopping, or bunny jumping, is a term used in video games to describe the basic movement technique in which a player jumps repeatedly instead of running in order to move faster and/or to avoid enemy fire.
31/5 on Rundown
My highest ever score in a Modern Warfare 2 TDM: 31 kills, 1 assist and 5 deaths. Played mostly defensively by occupying the middle building and defending with claymores. I didn’t camp, except when I knew a guy was coming. Ninja Pro helped a ton there.
Ken Burton’s wonderful AA-12 adventure
Ken Burton has discovered the wonderful AA-12 automatic shotgun in his latest video. This is my secondary weapon on my main classes and I love it. Hope I can unlock that grip soon though as the recoil is something awful. Dead effective in a small room! Yes, you definitely need Scavenger to pick up more ammo.
I just added myself to the html5 beta on Youtube. Unfortunately videos with adverts will still use the old Flash player, and I suspect most of the ones I’ll watch there will be those.
