I got Bioshock 2 free when I bought Singularity in Gamestop this morning. Both are second hand and they’re running a “buy 1, get 1 (select) game free”. Bioshock 2 was on my Amazon wishlist so it was a good way of spending a 40 Euro voucher (plus €4.99 to make up the difference)
Now I just need to finish the original Bioshock ..
Rush on Atacama Desert is hard. Mike, Conor and I played 2 rounds on it last night. Once defending and the second attacking.
In the first game we were pushed back to the last base before we managed to defeat the opposition. The maps are so wide they were able to get through time and again and even though we had full teams on both sides I only managed about 4 kills.
The second game was worse. We were attacking and didn’t even take the first base!
We played other maps with varying degrees of success. It seems to me that BC2 multiplayer is getting harder and harder. Perhaps only the “hardcore” players are left as everyone else has gotten bored of playing the same old maps time and again? Thanks Graham for joining us earlier in the evening!
My KDR is still at 0.82, but probably only just. My skill level plummeted to 222, or 156 depending on which number you look at. My win/loss is 1.53.
Here’s Stonefacelock and co attacking on Atacam Desert. We weren’t quite as successful.
Boing Boing recently ran a games inspired by music competition and a few of the entries were posted yesterday. Almost all will run in your browser, some are flash, some HTML5, and some unfortunately require other plugins to run.
I’m downloading Sean Monahan’s game, Beat Boost (entry page) at the moment but there’s also Knife Attack, Flatwar, Space Junk, Arctic Trek, Gobber Assault, Bounty Hunter and Infiltration.
Well, no new maps until the Vietnam expansion hits later in the year according to this interview.
DICE is releasing map packs with new game modes on already existing maps. Vietnam will bring new maps to Bad Company 2.
Enjoy Rush on Atacama Desert. They’ve brought rush to all the maps now haven’t they?
I first read about Blacklist Tango Down a few days ago and it looked very interesting. It’s a first person shooter with customizable weapons, 12 maps, lots of game modes, 4 coop maps playing against enemy AI, who spawn in random areas. (hear that DICE?)
It’s out today on Xbox Live but they’re still working on a PS3 version. Hopefully there’ll be a demo on XBL I can try later.
Edit: Patricia has written about her first impressions of the game.
mymorningjackets did an absolutely amazing job arranging the theme tune from C64 classic game The Last Ninja. Wonderful stuff.
I would love an MP3 version of this.
Map Pack #4 has been spotted by Fieldoperative. Maybe that’s why the EA servers just died. The new mode pack has Atacama Desert Rush and Port Valdez Conquest and are due tomorrow, 7th July.
Looking forward to trying rush on Atacama Desert!
Bad Company 2 Onslaught on Atacama Desert is *so* much better when you’ve got a good pilot on your team. Granted, it was on easy level, but my new best time is 6:15:02! Uber Noob tore up the enemy with his flying skills. I hopped in to man the secondary gun and it was dizzying flying with him.
Great!
I have a Medal of Honor beta code to give away. Leave a comment here and subscribe to my blog. Since this is so time critical I’ll announce the winner tomorrow but they’ll need to leave a comment on that post too.
So, if you want a MOH beta code leave a comment!
This post on reddit.com has the scoop on leaked information about “new” maps for Bad Company 2. Of course like previous “map packs”, they’re simply the current maps with new modes. Looks like someone hacked the content we already have and unlocked it before EA blessed us with the VIP goodness.
There are leaked photos here and a gallery of screenshots too.
What’s new?
There are two VIP slots left in the BC2 store so don’t expect all this in one go, if ever. It’ll be drip fed to us. It’s shocking how bad EA/DICE have treated their customers.
