Battlefield Bad Company

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Ha I was actually joking about playing Halo 3. I thought everyone hated it here apart from Magik, Stifler & myself lol.

Sorry to tell you Michael, but yeah the match making is still the same. They won't ever change it, at least not in Halo 3's life time.

[Sethos]

Ah well, but I wouldn't mind playing it some day :)

We still need a new game to mess around with!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yeah I wouldn't mind if we played some team oriented games like bombs, flags and maybe slayer now and again.

As long as whatever we switch to has large maps and a good lobby / match making system. Doesn't even need to be on the 360, we could play something on the PC or PS3.

[Sethos]

Yeah, I really don't care what we play either - I just want a game with the ability to create large rooms / squads and something worth playing. But Halo 3 isn't a bad idea, joke or not. Plenty of people have the game and we can all play, plus it's a lot of fun.

For PC I can only think of a select few Steam titles.

Word. I traded mine in for BF:BC :D Wouldn't THAT be a kick in the head.

What is the deal with CoD4? Not much love for it around here?

[Massiveterra]

I'm personally not much of a team deathmatch guy myself.

um...hrm...team fortress? LOL

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

^ I'm downloading it again right now :D

I don't mind CoD 4 - Drunkn doesn't seem to happy about it :p

damn...i don't have a pc...only a mac.

the only version i have of the game is on 360

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I just don't think its anything special and not an awful lot to do I guess. Sounds weird I know cause BF BC is the same in so many ways, but I just don't buy into the hype of COD4 like others do.

On another note, AJ and I are on BF if anyone wants to join.

@ Massive, I have it on 360 also (Y)

[Sethos]

Okay, I'm hopping online now - Send me an invite in a minute.

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Hehe, I just got mine last night so don't even fret!

[Massiveterra]

Okay, I changed my mind. After playing with Larry and AJ tonight, I realized I really like conquest mode, even though it's nothing like the PC version (never played it, just what I heard). Some games lasted about half an hour, and the end of the line map was unbelievable. So glad we played with both teams knowing how to play the game. Fun game tonight guys. awesome.

That's what I've found as well. You get in a match with players who know what to do (not saying you have to be good at it but just try) then it's fun as hell. I actually don't mind the 10-15 minute games because if it is played right there's a ton of action going on anyway.

Think I might use CoD4 along with Madden 08 as trade-in for Madden 09 :) BC is becoming a favorite.

I guess I won't be playing with you guys anymore if you are all making the switch to Conquest mode. What I played wasn't fun at all, just a broken tacked on mode :( (N) I can't believe they screwed it up so bad after what, 5 games in the series? :no: I've no idea what they were thinking removing it in the first place, nevermind rushing it out in the state it is.

See you in Battlefield 3 with the real Conquest mode (I hope!) (Y)

[Massiveterra]

wait....what about team fortress?

It's still an awesome fun game. Don't let a purist change your mind :D

I was only going to buy it to play with the Neowin crew. I thought it was the flavour of the month?!

[mattmatik]

I'm sure people will still play. Hell, I'm just now starting to put quality time into the game. And there's no reason why DICE/EA can't make adjustments. The mistake I think they made with BC is not coming out with Conquest sooner. People played the hell out of Gold Rush because it was the only mode, so if you don't like Conquest it is kind of tough to want to go back to Gold Rush. That's just my opinion, though.

I've never played TF2 but I won't go anywhere near Halo 3. If TF2 gets the love here I will get it and get rid of CoD4 (I've wanted to get The Orange Box anyway).

edit: just watched some TF2 vids on youtube. WTF is that?! LOL. Looks complicated as all hell. Maybe it was the mode the guy was playing but I saw wrenches and building sentry units and whatever else...enlighten me, please? :)
