I’m starting to get into the Campaign in Halo Reach now. I have to admit that after the space battle I was sort of disappointed there was no Elite style docking sequence and classical music to accompany me in…
(From the BBC version, which didn’t have the excellent music of the C64 version)
Oh, I played Halo Reach multiplayer last night and had my ass whooped again. I did get one lucky break. I had my sights on one guy and another stepped in front of him and I got a double kill! Wooh!
After that trouncing I booted up the PS3 and hopped into Onslaught where I had some great games, beating my best scores on Isla and Valparaiso!

I played Bad Company 2 the other night with Mike and Conor and it was hard to find a full game. The first one or two were but soon we were playing with and against incomplete teams.
Perhaps it’s back to school time, or it could even be the Halo Reach effect. UK Xbox sales doubled in the last week so it’s likely many PS3 owners now own both consoles. David experienced the same thing which he mentions in the video above. One good thing however is the lack of C4ing of MCOM stations! There was hardly any (well, except on our team when there weren’t any defenders and people were just looking for points).
Me? I’ve played the Halo Reach campaign for an hour or so and a couple of games of the multiplayer and I’m finding it’s hard to really get into it. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m going up against super aimbot 360 noscope God-like players who hit me with headshots in every single encounter. Or it could be this too.
I didn’t think much of the graphics in Halo Reach. The textures of buildings and scenery lack the sort of detail I’ve been used to in Bad Company 2 for the most part, but in close combat the aliens look really good. I find multiplayer fights bland and emotionless. How can you feel empathy for a robot with no face? Sound is unfortunately nowhere near as good as in Bad Company 2 either. I’m not giving up on it just yet, it has potential (hell, I’ve hardly read anything but glowing reviews about the game) but so far it hasn’t yet convinced me that I should renew my Xbox Live Gold subscription when it expires.
PS. Check out my rubbish stats if you want a laugh. Yes, they really are that bad!
Bad Copy 2
Bad Company 2 players will recognise many of the events in this funny video.
Bad Company 2 Vietnam Gameplay Video
No sign of a firm release date yet but this gameplay video from TGS looks promising. It’s hard not to be cynical about Battlefield now though. Kevin O’Leary, product manager for Bad Company 2, says it’s “not new content for the sake of content” whatever that means.
I wonder if we’ll be “treated” to further VIP mode packs for the four maps in this Vietnam expansion pack? I suspect not as this will probably be DLC itself but that begs the question, how many modes will be playable on each map?
Have they fixed the C4-on-MCOM-Station problem? If not you can say goodbye to my chances of playing that regularly.
Scenery looks lush and beautiful. If you didn’t like Laguna Presa you probably won’t like this! Finally, we’re getting a new map pack (four maps) that will have genuinely new maps. (via Colin)

David’s Stats Rant
Worth watching when you come out of yet another game with a negative KDR because you’ve been rushing and rushing and playing for the objective. I’ll always be happy when my KDR approaches 1 after a game but this is Bad Company 2. Your win/loss ratio is a lot more important in my opinion (and mine is a healthy 1.45 or so!) If you really want to massage your KDR, just go use an aimbot.
Read his post too. I can’t imagine how frustrating that game must have been for him and the guys.
Odd games of bad company 2!
Wow! Where did the day go? Last night’s games were decidedly odd. I joined Mike on a game of rush and the first thing I noticed was my lack of weapons! They were all gone!
I’d heard of this happening before but not experienced out myself. Yikes! Luckily after the first game they came back.
Still, the server we were on was buggy. Thankfully not laggy but at the end of each round our medals were duplicated! Weird!
It was a good night. We defended port valdez on the first base and I even went flawless, 10-0! I pity the other team. My team pushed almost right into their spawn.
I also got a platinum medal for the AN94! First weapon I’ve done that on.
Unfortunately there was a share of C4ing and using mines to destroy the MCOM stations. Even on my own team. Grrr. We didn’t need to do that.
Smoke rocked the games of Bad Company 2 …
Smoke rocked the games of Bad Company 2 we played last night. David and I joined a game of rush and I was mostly assault, and smoking it up on defense and attack for most games and it paid off. We won every game played I think!
On past experience I remembered running out of smoke grenades, even with an ammo box at my feet so I equipped the extra explosives perk giving 4 grenades. I was able to lay down a never ending barrage of smoke to protect us. We successfully defended on the first base on White Pass and Laguna Presa.
The enemy were down to about 30 tickets on White Pass. They had blown the MCOM station on the ground and did some serious damage to the walls surrounding the upstairs one. We had clear line of sight out to the construction site, and of course our backs were exposed through the window behind us. Eventually, the enemy took out all the cover inside the room too, and did arm it a few times. We had a few medics on our team who did sterling work reviving me after a few 40mm grenade deaths. We didn’t have a wall, but we did have smoke, and because of it the attackers couldn’t see into the room. We successfully defended by the skin of our teeth. Thanks David, Wiid, Ogga and later Tye for some superb games.
Oh, i’m 10 kills away from a platinum on my AN94. Wooh.
Can’t say the same thing about World at War. The evenings seem to bring on the loudmouthed idiots. Screaming, shouting, playing music through the intermission. Each time I’ve played earlier in the day that has never happened. Perhaps the kids are still asleep or at school. So, for the next session of Call of Duty I’m going to use a Skype session if possible, or at the very least mute VOIP. If you play WAW with me DM me on Twitter and we’ll sort something out.
We didn’t do so well at WAW team deathmatch. I read yesterday that Treyarch don’t try to match players of similar skills and I’d believe it.
Check out David’s post about the night’s gameplay too!
Update! David posted a great video of our attack and defence on White Pass. Like him, I was amazed when we won that game defending Alpha!
Rage quit in COD 4!
They quit, not us! I was enjoying that game too. Next game was the complete opposite. We got mauled but we stuck with it.
In other news I joined arkanoid for a game of conquest in bad company 2 and did fairly well!
