So say I want to pick up a xim. What keyboard and mouse should I look into. The Logitech g13 piqued my interest, as did the g502 mouse. Are they any good?

Before you buy anything, check the hardware compatibility list here: http://xim4.com/community/index.php?topic=32933.0

For mice, Logitech is a safe bet. Even one of their cheaper mice would be good.

For keyboards, this depends on how much you want to spend. I would highly recommend getting at least a low-end mechanical keyboard. Along with Logitech, I think Corsair and a couple others I can't think of right now make good ones on the cheaper end.

I'd recommend staying away from anything Razer unless your hands are very small.

Sit down to finally play this. Hop in a game of Domination that's in progress. First name I see on the other team, "VersusSA".

Welp.



Next game went better but still getting the feel of how the Xim works compared to regular PC.

Edit: Wish I could change my name have had the same poo poo name since I first got a PS3.

Ouch and sorry :ohdear:

If you want to change your name, I'd just make a new account, since your level is so low. Obviously, this will be annoying if you have a good chunk of PS+ time on your current account, but if not, it might not be too painful. excalipor did that when he was like prestige 4 because his old name was so bad.

Lol, that's a good name though. I picked bdb1001 years ago and can't be bothered to create a new account. Besides, can't think of a good name anyway. I do wish PS would go the Xbox route and let you change names for :10bux:.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Wait, there's a challenge for going Fresh Start? I'm Prestige 3 now, should I just bite the bullet and wipe my progress for the challenge, rather than creating a bigger mountain of accomplishments to demolish once I get tired of seeing the blank spot on my calling card list?

It's literally just one calling card in the dark ops section. I don't think there's anything requiring fresh start. I did Fresh Start immediately after the first prestige and erasing whatever (little) progress I had sucked. But hey my global KD isn't as bad as it was!

Don't do it that late into the game. It's in Dark Ops so it doesn't count for the percentage. Dark Ops also has a bunch of other ridiculous things like "kill someone underwater while you and they are both about to drown" and "kill someone after they have taken damage from 5 other teammates".

My favorite dark ops that I know I'll never get unless we cheat By having one of us on the other team while in the party:

Finish the Job
Kill an enemy that survived damage from 5 teammates in the same life.

There's also Frenzy, Super, Mega, Ultra, and Chain Killers for 5,6,7,8 and 9 rapid kills which I can only see happening in a hilarious game of Ground War Dom/Safeguard, a really bad clumped up team and gravity spikes.

There isn't enough water in this game to get the drowning one either. Maybe Splash in the DLC will help with that one.

I've started to see a lot more pubbies hang out in the water on both aquarium and the map with the house/waterfall. There aren't any real water spots worth fighting on. Pool by B on Evac or back of the wreckage in Havoc see no use ever and after that I can't think of where else you can find water.

I got a legit Ultra kill in a vanilla Dom game the other night and it could have been a Chain kill but I was so zoned in I didn't even realize I got the streak until after the game was over O_o

I'll post the video later, it was pretty funny, I was camping the bunker on endor with a bare naked Vesper and they just would not stop pouring in. They came so fast from spawn that I chained 8 kills and missed the 9th literally because I didn't realize I could have gone for a chain kill :saddowns:

(I got another ultra kill in a ground war game with a single Tempest shot :haw: Sadly the recording didn't save)

I've bought too much stuff on this account. Sunk cost makes me stick to it.

Also as far as mice the Steelseries Rival is the poo poo and that's what I use on PC. Trying to find a way to use a KVM to switch between PC and Xim so I don't have to unplug and replug.

I have been playing Nuketown so much I have the 5, 6, 8 and 9 rapid kills cards. I'm missing the one for 7 kills :(

It's a shame that the patch is now going to kill the eternal Combine playlists, because it will also kill Nuketown 24/7.

I've gotten all but chain killer already, ultra kill with the gorgon on combine.

Also I got dark matter saturday night and checked barracks afterward for how long it took: 7.5 days. I don't remember how that compares with my BO2 playtime but in terms of days since game release it's at least 4 weeks faster. Knife challenges weren't as annoying as I thought they would be after watching victrix's stream while he was doing that one night.


Seems like a pretty good patch other than the Awareness nerf. Argus/XR-2/Sheiva/LMG buffs :legion:

Nope, Arena mode still sucks. Nobody wants to wait 10 minutes between games because of all the voting you have to do. Pubbies will also leave if what they want gets voted out.

I've actually gotten Finish the Job legitimately, but I can see it hard to get in a goon group since they have "actually killing guys" levels of skill.


You can probably cheese it without infiltrating the other team simply by nominating someone to get it, then everyone else uses silenced weapons and just spends their time taking a single shot at everyone they see and running away.

The other 5 guys all toss a flashbang to do 1 damage at once and guy #6 wipes up. Unless they don't do 1 damage this time around.
