    haha, have faith ! It seems that they're building up to it.. im hopeful that they'll announce it some time next yet :D They'll probably wait until the next gen consoles tho :( .... (If they announce L4D3 as their next game... imma be mad !)



    The Dods scene is pretty dead,and has been in decline since cod4 came out.

    Is it just me or is the Tf2 scene pretty insular? You don't see much news about bar the occasional cadred article.

    Aye, i thought DoD was dead. With TF2 i see the odd article on cadred, apparently the I42(?) finals were great, but i assumed they had their own news site with regular updates. There has been a huge influx of players in the last month or so, think it put TF2 above both CS + CSS for the first time since its release.

    That i cannot disagree with but to automatically brand all pub players as low skilled is just wrong imo.

    I don't brand all pub players as low skilled, just most.. :P

    Out of the games you mentioned, TF2 is the only game i enjoyed to frequent and i went off that when they started bringing out the lame weapon changes. So went back to source, which they released a patch for and it just pretty much destroyed all of my hard work in terms of aim and i wasnt arsed relearning a game i spent 6 years playing.

    So i said id wait for a new worthy FPS to jump into, its how ive rolled for the past 15 years of online gaming. Only problem being, im waiting over a year now and still nothing worth my money.

    No point in going CoD or BF, they will just split the community again a year later by releasing a sequel.. Plus they make the game too easy with perks :(

    I'm just going to go with the hardened edition of the game, may as well get all the features and download content for €100 for the year, some of the prized events look interesting too. Looking forward to the game

    I find it pretty amazing that the best online shooters I've played were back on ps2. Socom I and Socom II were unbelievable to me. They were TPS mind. Had the whole shebang lobbies which the host could block certain weapons and other stuff. Easy to join the game your friends were in. Could text chat in the lobby. It was amazing! I'd die for a remake for one of them. Socom confrontation and 4 might have killed that idea. Two of the worst games ever...

    The community was the best thing about it aswell. I agree with nix on that though these days. Broadband advertisment for mutiplayer. :mad:

    I'm still going to get MW3 and BF3 though. Even though I'll prob get bored pretty quick. MW3 looks pretty similar to MW2 to me and I haven't seen much of BF3 apart from hearing that it's going to be amazing.

    Went into Gamestop to pre order the Hardened edition and its sold out. :(

    Got my e-mail telling me I'm in, browsing through it now it's pretty cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Finical


    Got email into it aswell, but only got in with my xbox email account. :(

    So is this how elite will work on MW3? You won't be able really access features from the game itself?


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    Still haven't received anything -_-

    Got my email today too, just had a quick glance at it there and it seems fairly cool. Need to sit down and have a proper look at it though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,846 ✭✭✭Jet Black


    They've said on facebook PS3 users should be getting invites starting for Monday last.
    I've got mine but can't get it to work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Finical


    I think my brother is going to be pretty pissed. Looks like elite will only work on one of our accounts (mine)...I just hope his account will get the DLC as well.

    Going to have to take the day off college now just incase he gets the elite on to his account first or however that works. :D

    Damn this elite stuff any ways just another way to get more money. Hope it works for both our accounts though. :(

    Got mine ages ago.

    And impressions? Will you be signing up when it goes live for MW3? Just wondering if it's going to be of any use?

    The only reason anyone will be signing up is for the Map packs etc The rest of the stuff is nice but not worth paying for. The feature I like the best is that Xbox ahoy has a video guide for every weapon on it.

    Agreed. I probably wouldn't normally be signing up for it I don't think. IMO the only real true benefits of it are the DLC at a discounted price and then maybe the extra theatre mode slots (nullified to those that have a HD PVR or other capture devies).

    Gotta love Xbox Ahoy's voice!

    I've just had a call from HMV to day informing me that only Gamestop will be the only retailer carrying the Hardened Edition ???? They have secured an exclusive deal to sell it.
    Anyone else book theirs in HMV only to get the same call today ?
    That's a joke.
    Gamestop will charge what they like now........

    Not that I know of, you'd have to pick if elite seperately if you were to buy the game in a bricks and mortar shop... or just stroll into Gamestop the next morning no queues and pick it up like a baws :D

    I pre-ordered at HMV. I asked them if the hardened edition was on their system, they said it was and accepted my deposite. Are you tellin me they're not gonna have it? Some one is gonna get slaps.

    That's what I did too. They even told me that it would be 90 euro. Their pitch was that they were 10 euro cheaper than gamestop. I'm going to call in the hmv in cork as soon as I can and see what the story is. I'm not happy at the mo tho. Gamestop in cork seem like they are sold out of preordes
