Gears of War 3 Trailer
thegoldglove07 provides some analysis on the new game.
I have both Gears of War 1 and 2 and loved the single player game in each. I haven’t played them multiplayer though and apparently GOW 2 had serious problems. I didn’t get particularly far in either game either but the graphics were stunning and gameplay rocking. Looking forward to what GOW 3 has to offer!
My quest for a component switcher cable continues. Play-asia were totally unresponsive and then so were Divineo.co.uk so I’ve ordered the iMP 4 in 1 Multi Component AV Cable Xbox360/Wii/PS2/PS3 from an Amazon.co.uk reseller. It’s almost half the price again of the XCM cable I had ordered from Divineo.
Needless to say I have cancelled my Divineo order.
All I want to do is play my PS3 in HD, is that so bad? *sob* (sound of violins, fade to black, roll credits)
I’m going to archive my Battlefield Bad Company 2 stats. Over the last 2 weeks it’s obvious I’ve played the PS3 version a lot more but I want to get back to the Xbox too. I find it fascinating how my different stats go up and down.
‘Course it’s probably only fascinating to me! 🙂
Want to fly 9 harriers in the air at one time in Modern Warfare 2? This glitch will apparently let you do that. Crazy. (via)
1. Equip the following load out (must be the same)
M16 + Holographic sight – not really needed but some weapons it doesn’t work – M16 is confirmed.
AT4-HS Launcher
Tactical Insertion
Smoke Grenade*Killstreaks* Just make sure you’ve equipped the Care package – doesn’t matter about 2 and 3.
2. Run around and kill 4 people until you’ve got the care package.
3. First quip the care package then in the following order: Equip the Tactical Insertion, just before it light animation (as it catches) press LB followed by Y then hold the right trigger.
4. The rocket will fire and you’ll hear the harrier sound notification, select the harrier and place it on the map – as you’ve placing it on the map hold the DPAD right button.
5. Once you’ve called in the harrier if you’ve kept the DPAD right held down you’ll hear the harrier sound notification again – repeat step 4 over and over again until you’ve got 9 harriers in the air.
6. To repeat after all 9 harriers have left go back to step 2.
The author of the glitch contacted Infinity Ward in January but they ignored him. Nasty glitch.
Bad Company 2 with David, Mark and Conor tonight. I found it hard to get into my stride but we were playing on a great team and I think won every game. I did come out with a decent KDR in two rounds too!
Ok, ok, never mind that they were crap scores. I was laying down smoke and refilling ammo quite a bit too but whenever my KDR gets near 1 I celebrate!
Still waiting on my component switcher cable. Friday night’s game was in HD and it made a huge difference.
Edit – never mind the above, thinking back over the games I think I’m just peeved that we were playing with such a strong team who played for the objective. I did my share of setting and defending the bomb but this time our squad wasn’t the only one doing so. It was quite amazing how fast we overran the enemy base sometimes. I honestly prefer those games where we have to fight for every inch (but not have to fight too hard!)
Not another helicopter tutorial? Yes, yes, but this one is good and it’s short. Flying a helicopter in Bad Company 2 is damn hard and AdaptableFuton suggests changing the air controls to BC1 controls. Might make it easier but you probably lose manoeuvrability.
Also, and this is the important bit. Engineers can only repair the helicopter when it’s flying low. I didn’t know that. Must have been dumb luck when I was repairing that we were at the right altitude.
This morning I checked my Xbox inbox and found this odd voicemail from someone who wanted to sell me access to a 10th prestige lobby in Modern Warfare 2. At least that’s what I presume it was as the voice was so distorted it’s hard to understand him.
Should I report him? Will it do an ounce of good? Done. It was quite easy to report him! 🙂
First few games of Modern Warfare 2 in weeks and I’m rusty as hell and hating it. I keep pressing the Select button to spot…
How does Geoff do it? A nuke in 8 seconds? Good thing all those soldiers were busying shooting at air support or something. They never even saw him coming!
That totally trounces the previous record of 30 seconds by Gunit123:
*Sigh* In Geoff’s next video he talks about the hate mail he received after posting the video above. Some people just don’t have a sense of humour. Those people should probably get out into the sun a bit more.
