The PS3 Online Game Arrangement Thread

jArgHA

OK so it seems that quite a few of us have managed to get PS3 multi-player games working now. I'd like to propose using this thread for arranging / discussing online games between us. A suggested post format for someone who will be hosting a game is as follows:

==========================================================
Date & Time: [enter date & time that game will commence]
Host: [enter your psn-id here]
Game Type: [enter game type here]
Game Options: [optional - enter whether you will be setting police on/off etc.)
==========================================================

Once the above is posted by someone (who definitely can host games and allow players to connect to their PS3), then whoever would like to join that game should post that they would like to play along with their PSN-ID below that post. Only ppl who have expressed their interest should be sent an invite (by the hoster). To avoid any confusion, also post the PSN-ID of the hoster of the game (in case there are multiple games going to be hosted on the same night).

So, for example, if you wanted to join a game hosted by me (feilimb) you would post

==========================================================
Host: feilimb
My PSN-ID: [enter psn-id here]
==========================================================

Not sure if I am going to be around tonight, otherwise I would have kicked off the proceedings with hosting a game later on...

Free-roam sucks, has no time limit and no money for kills making it completly pointless!

Heh, that was pretty ****e earlier, eh?

I'm sorry for not accepting any more of your invites, but that free roam bores the hell out of me.

You live and learn.. I spent the hour after that playing deathmatch against randomers and it was great fun even though I got my a$$ kicked.

Are any of the other games worth playing (tried GTA race and it wasn't great although there was only 2 of us)? How many are needed for a decent game of Cops & Crooks?

nealmac

I still think the death match can't be beaten. It's great fun, both the team version, and the "every man for him self version".

I don't know if you noticed, but for some reason my character was female last night. Why would this change? Had to go and change it back.

Dord

OK...

I'll step up and host one tomorrow night. Should be enough time to get people involved in it.

==========================================================
Date & Time: 16/05/08 @ 10pm
Host: SB-1000
Game Type: Cops n' Crooks
Game Options: - TBA.
==========================================================

I cannot invite you unless you're on my friends list, so either add me or accept the invitation I have already sent.

Dord

Bump! :pac:

Game tonight @ 10pm!

jArgHA

Love the Rocket Launcher

jArgHA

hehe u demolished me yesterday steoc4, I just kept making the same mistake by trying to run you down while you waited patiently with that RPG. I finally did manage to pick up a sniper rifle but got RPG'd again b4 I got a chance to get a headshot in.

was it you that I kept sniping on happiness island - respawn brought you back into sniping range about 4 times in a row?

Yep that was me, desperately trying to headshot you with my pistol before I was taken down!

I got my revenge though

Cant get NAT2 working or detected in my connection status. Went back to wired which seems to have made the connection worse. Or are the networks down......again?

Cant find the router settings for it. Does it work by portforward?

Edit: this link:http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netopia/2247NWG-VGx/PS3_NAT_Type_3_to_2.htm doesnt work. Im just about sick of this.
