not really, most games coming out this year are just multi-gen games (diablo, destiny, etc). I'll probably be getting the Halo collection thing, provided they don't butcher the multi in the first three games like they did with 4. I want a working Halo 2, not this crap they did with 4.

Mail, you use to play Halo, right? You better join me because as long as Halo 2's multi is exactly the same as it was 10 years ago, that's probably all I'm going to be playing this fall.

Evolve, and yeah, I'm psyched for that. Coming out of Judges' Week, Jeff said on the Bombcast that Evolve is one game where not working as a team and playing your class equals lose. That's more or less become my number one criterion for whether I'll enjoy a game.

I found the best way is to get your kills on Silk Road. Lots of tanks just sit up in the hills and try to shell D. One set of bomb markers and he and possibly his gunner is toast.

Keep in mind there's a 90-second cooldown from when someone pops out until the trailer opens back up again. Makes it easier to stay alive when you're not constantly having to watch the door.

Lots of teamwork on the monster side! I think Evolve is going to suffer from Build Order-itis, as once people figure out the efficient way to level up your monster, it'll suck the joy out.

Think I'm finally getting the hang of revolvers (well, the .44 at least), although I've had to adopt a slightly different playstyle with them.

Whereas for most of the semi-autos I've rolled out into hardcore domination and played until I found that twitchy groove to rack up kills while using it as a primary, with the .44 I've taken to actually using it as a backup to my main, with the occasional execution of clueless wookies/campers. Funny having mid range duels with snipers tho, as they miss their shots and you get hit markers until they panic and it's all too late.

Hopefully the Rex won't be too different, and then I'll move onto the G18/93R.

Oh, and I looted the Desert Eagle t'other day, immediately popped 2 or 3 guys like it weren't no thing. Seems pretty op from my incredibly limited playtime, fun though.

JDAMs? Worth using on attack jet, or better to stick with Hydras? Unlocked and tried it yesterday and the aiming system is pretty... Ugh. Is the blast big enough to cancel out the awkwardness?

I have my friend's PS3 all lubed up and ready for action. At this point I'd put it at an almost infinitesimal chance that the servers are shared between PS3 and PS4, but here's hoping! I'll probably have to decide soon whether I miss that multiplayer enough to buy another console, and there's a decent chance that I do. That was such an awesome multiplayer. And there's new modes and maps and guns now! :ohdear:

I'm more worried about what the humans can do,true all of the really overpowered stuff is one character or another and it might require teamwork. But how much chance does the monster have if the human team is able to call in orbital lasers, become invincible, has a sentry turret,AND has the ability to essentially put a tracer round on you so they can follow you around? And that's all just for starters and with only the 4 humans they've really talked about.


I'm still getting that when it comes out though since it looks awesome.

stick with hyrdas. the jdam is about the equivalent of a hand grenade, so you have to get the bomb right on them, and since the interface blows, it's really underwhelming.

I might bring it back later this year, when you and Fastest upgrade, but that's only if Dice fixes them. I probably would have bought premium too if you could mix map packs and still have quick match players cycle in, but nope, that makes too much sense. :dice: doesn't want my money apparently.

Glad you ended up liking it. It's a ridiculously good shotgun and I don't know why more people don't use it. Basically a QBS (maybe slightly slower or less powerful? The difference is almost unnoticeable to me) with 12 rounds and the reload time of an assault rifle. It's so fun catching and entire squad that's reloading or facing in slightly the wrong direction and mowing them down in 2 seconds, with 5 shells to spare. I killed 9 dudes huddled together with one clip the other night on Propaganda in about 5 seconds and it felt like Christmas morning.

Just picked up china rising since it's on sale.

:lol: why is there two MAA's on some of these maps? I take it Dice doesn't want people to use air vehicles on them? We should try to have all four of them on our side and just roll around with Zunis. Oh and don't use lube, we're doing it raw.

Also, apparently I already have the UCAV unlocked. This thing seems really cheap, even if it takes a long time to reload, you're still almost guaranteed to get a kill. It's going to give me something to do on Locker. I think I'll spawn in, throw down two ammo boxes, then suicide and come back with both a mortar and the ucav.

holy crap this is cheap. triple kill on a boat, all I'm doing is waiting in spawn for this thing to reload and then throwing it out.

Ammo boxes are not required to reload the UCAV. It's pretty good, yes, but the long reload and minimum distance means you need that & C4 to be effective against vehicles, and then you're not carrying ammo. There are multiple MAAs in CR because they're huge, open maps with 2 jets, scouts, attack, and transport helis, and possibly an enemy bomber to murder.

The initial trajectory on locker is hosed, it can send your lil buddy in all sorts of directions from launch. You will lose a proportion of your UCAVs into the rocks or into the air/side of the map where the controls will become unresponsive.

Having a guy or two on UCAV duty on the slopes makes 64 player conquest a lot more fun, though. Dropping a UCAV on the snipers on the hills or the guys on the rocks near the outside C point is a huge boon to your team if you are stuck trying to fight your way through to C.

Having a full party of people with UCAVs and mortars makes the outside part of locker the best part of the map. It's not uncommon to get quintuple-kills at least once a round.

Drop a mortar and use an LMG with a 4x.

Either your team will run into their team outside of C, giving you plenty of mortar targets, or you'll be the only person outside, letting you play horatius at the bridge.

If its the latter, pop in and out of cover while mashing spot. Drop mortars. Rinse and repeat.

They are kill boxes, nothing more. I actually ended up on a 64 player Locker server that had a "no explosives" script that would deduct points for each reported use of a non-bullet weapon. It wasn't bad, but you had almost no way of breaking into C once one team took it, on an explosives enabled server you could at least hope a grenade or LVG would clear out a few people and get you into the room. It was still better than the clusterfuck Locker is about 90% of the time, but the server banned everything you could throw or deploy; no EOD bot, no Smoke or Flares, no Flashbangs. It was basically an anti-fun server.

Sure, cause leaving a game because of a map, only to join another rotation, only to leave again when that map comes up again sounds like an absolute blast!

I don't really mind locker or metro. I always find a way to get some kills and wreak some havoc.
