    Yeah I'd be up for it only got gears 2 today. Only thing that's driving me nuts is the matching making taking ages.
    Maybe make it a GOW2/COD WAW night?

    Getting constant disconnects at moment on Live, I think it is live because my net connection is perfect and it connects for random periods and then disconnects.

    Really annoying because I bought this like 30 minutes ago lol.

    Anyway I think with the update to Live, it'll be probably be unreliable for the next week or so as it collapses in a heap with people updating their consoles :D

    Yup, was fun Faceman. We weren't great, but we can always improve. If you see me online, I'd definitely be up for Horde again.

    It was nice to play with normal people for a change! :) its tiring playing with noisy kids and often abusive americans!

    We got to do it again! :) Actually Im going to boot up now, some of ye are online!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭Snaga


    Yup - it was good fun all right - though a disc read error kicked me out of my first game of Horde :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Q_Ball


    I really really REALLY want to beat horde! Give a shout when the next one is on, if i'm free I'll be there!

    You played a stormer during those games dude! usually the last man standing! Altho i did laugh during one round where you were in the thick of the action throughout and only got 1 kill in the end! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26 November One


    Sounds like a great idea. It seems to take about 10 mins to get a group through matchmaking lately and it'd be nice for once not to have a load of 12 year old yanks crying for revives cause they can't shotgun rush anymore. Gotta love teh new stopping power :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 906 ✭✭✭FuzzyWuzzyWazza


    Will try to get on if I can, have 20 meg down and 1.5 meg up so unless ne-1 with a synchrous connection is about I am willing to host (if i can make it)

    Hey Faceman. I read somewhere today that it is possible to begin a private game from what wave you died on.

    With public matches, you start at 1 all the time. But if you're hosting again we might be able to start from a later level. You'll have to have a look into it! You were host, no??

    I should be on tonight for an hour or 2. Invite me if you need players. :pac:


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,144 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Yep, private matches you can just keep on restarting alright. Was doing a private match myself the other days due to it taking so long to try and startup anything else to find other team members.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,019 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Alright anyone who I haven't added and wants to play, just add someone else and we can invite you. Will be on in around twenty minutes. Horde?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,144 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Horde sounds good to me.

    Ughh. My poor eyes. That was an intense three hours.
    Sorry to anyone who didn't get in. Horde game filled up alas.

    Anyone up for a game on Thursday?

    I will host a game on Thursday (20th Nov) at 9pm if anyone is around. :)

    Add me if you dont have me on your friends list. The Faceman101


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,144 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    I appologise for being rubbush and dying within the first few seconds of each of the last couple of levels we did, was impressive watching the one man army take down the whole of the horde on those levels though.

    I think we established that Ruins(?) is a crap map to do Horde on though, if Day One is the best though is another matter. Looks like you'd need to knock the difficulty down to casual inorder to get the level 50 acheivment though.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 16,663 CMod ✭✭✭✭faceman


    Some maps have great spots to huddle in like River, Day One, Stasis


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,144 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Yep, Day One is good as you have two places where they cannot sneak up on you from behind but you have a view of the entire map. It was just a bit difficult keeping them from coming up the ramp in the later levels without getting blasted from every other direction at the same time.

    River looks like it might be good to camp out in one of the houses as you have the upper floor to target the rest of the map from, but they can only come in at you from one point again. I't probably a bit safer from motar and rockets coming in at you as well.

    Cannot remember which one Stasis is though, or if I've even done that map yet?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,438 ✭✭✭DingDong


    Horde is good crack. Wouldn't mind a couple of games of elimination style games warzone was it called?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,473 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    well up for this...Airblazer


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,144 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    I'll be on again this evening, unless I decide to open the new copy of CoD that I got at the weekend and play that instead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭Insanesomeone


    Security is the way to go if you're trying to clear horde.. Was playing with a cool bunch of english guys and the three of us managed to get to 37 on security only to be charged by a bunch of maulers and kantus.. disaster!!

    Really looking to clear horde so anyone who wants to clear from waves 30 and up or wants a hand clearing any of the lower levels give me a shout!

    I've to renew my gold membership so it'll be wednesday or so before I'm on again, prefer horde but I'll play anything once it's a good bunch up for a laugh!
