I said goodbye to Modern Warfare 2 more than 6 months ago when Bad Company 2 came out but lots of Call of Duty fans still play it to this day. Tomorrow, not so much.
That great singing voice is Colin and the link is via him too. Great job!

Bad Company 2: Smoking on Isla Inocentes Rush
Yet another gameplay, but this time rush on Isla Inocentes. Audio was recorded through my Macbook’s internal microphone and it sounded fine when I played it back before uploading but now I can hear a slight background hiss.
Unfortunately the 3.5mm jack on the Macbook isn’t powered so a cheap and cheerful mic won’t work and I need to use a USB one. Complications, complications, complications!
From the description I posted on Youtube:
Using smoke to confound the enemy on Isla Inocentes. I never do well when I use smoke but it helps the team sometimes. I spend so much time smoking up an area I become a target for snipers. I guess I have to be exposed to enemy fire more often than I like too.
I did figure one important thing from this game. You can spot enemy players through your own smoke.
Audio was recorded on my aging Macbook’s internal mic and it’s nice and loud. Shame about the slight background noise and right at the end my wife came into the kitchen but thankfully didn’t do anything but roll her eyes as I spoke to my computer!
My KDR is slowly creeping up, it’s 0.86 now. I doubt I’ll ever get it to 1.00 simply because I don’t have time to play it that much and my early games in standard resolution really put a dent in my stats. One of these days I’ll be a good player. Yeah. Right.

Defending Bases on Nelson Bay
Bad Company 2 is a game that relies heavily on team work to win matches. None so necessary as when the crates have to be defended in game of rush. Here’s a game where I helped in that role several times.
Notice I got revived? The poor medic got shot down by the same mounted gun that shot me down a moment earlier. Oh dear. (see this video for more of his reviving work..)
Music is a great remix of C64 classic game Delta’s main tune. Remix by Graeme Slapp while the original was by Rob Hubbard.

Defending on Nelson Bay
Another gameplay video, this time Bad Company 2 and on Nelson Bay again. Duck had just signed off but I stayed around for a few more games. In a previous game the team we were playing won a lengthy 30 minute game of rush by C4ing the one remaining MCOM station when they were down to 7 tickets. An act of desperation, and really pissed me off after such a long battle! That’s probably one reason we stuck to Alpha in this base. We had to.
Commentary volume is slightly higher but I had to talk quietly because the rest of my family were in bed and I didn’t want to wake them up!
Two UAVs on Nelson Bay
You can have two UAVs on Nelson Bay in Bad Company 2. First time I saw it happen was last night. One UAV fired rockets and the other had smoke equipped.
After I died I mentioned it to my squad and I was asked, “what are you smoking?” so I had to check this again!
Colin and Nick discussed video formats t…
Colin and Nick discussed video formats this morning on Twitter. Colin said that “iMovie lags like crazy on H.264 video” which might explain why the transitions in my first commentary didn’t render correctly when I did the voiceover in iMovie, and resulted in the video lagging behind the audio later in the video.
Anyway, I went searching, and found MPEG STREAMCLIP which will convert MP4 files to Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). A 596MB file became a gigantic 11GB file! I haven’t tried editing a video with transitions yet but hopefully iMovie will perform better.
Dissecting xSocrates
WoodysGamertag dissected a game of Modern Warfare played by xSocrates on the ship level. I don’t know what it’s called but we played this level the other night and I think Mike mentioned this. Pretty amazing gameplay.

“This lvl has been moderated!!i dont know why,i needed to change the logo and name.”
Little Big Planet allows you free rein with your imagination but sometimes creators take inspiration from existing games. Such was the case with this Mario influenced racer. It’s a fun little level, looks beautiful and it’s simple. Just keep R1 down to drive. I’m the sackboy with the cape, my son Adam was the brown fella.
Ironically, I received an email from Youtube stating the following,
“Dear donncha2001,
Your video, I wonder why it was moderated …., may have content that is owned or licensed by Sony Music Entertainment.
No action is required on your part; however, if you are interested in learning how this affects your video, please visit the Content ID Matches section of your account for more information.
Sincerely,

I wonder if everyone who uploads Little Big Planet gameplay videos receives such an email? Duck said he got 4 of them!
Oh! Hi there Tye!
So we had some great games of Bad Company 2 last night. I was playing for quite a bit with Mike and Duck and sent numerous invites to Tye. When I eventually bumped into him it wasn’t quite in the fashion I expected…
Got some great clips, but it also recorded our voice chat (well, except mine) so I need to configure the PS3 correctly to avoid that in the future. On the other hand, I’m glad I did get Mike’s frantic “Get him! Get him! Get him!” as I danced with an enemy in a small room with knifes out! I was laughing so much it’s probably a good thing I wasn’t recorded!
Edit: Here’s that knife dance. Warning, some of the game chat is NSFW. And a bonus clip too, a sniper montage by Mike!
