Gamersyde & B3D XBL Party

It doesn't matter. It's just for fun and laughs anyway. It's nice to actually interact with real people rather than just Internet personas.

By the way, was Tap In talking last night or does he still not have a mic? Everyone has pretty distinct voices, but it is kind of hard to tell who is talking when we are all in Party Chat.

Yah, Tap In was there! You didn't hear the hot chick's voice?!
 
I wish I had kept my device undisclosed until after we played, but oh well. So, after a couple hours of playing with me what is the concensus? If I hadn't told you I had a mouse would you have come to that conclusion on your own? We saw a number of laggards last night, dd my gameplay stand out as suspecious as theirs? Obviously a number of good players in our own party gave me some good beat downs in rounds so score alone obviously wasn't an indicator that something was off.

I know Robert noted that when I jump my aim was quite good: Robert, was this "Good like a really good player" or "too good to be a normal player" in your experience?
 
I wouldn't have known any better. There are a lot of players that are good with aiming and jumping. Check out GT Joker4Eva. I use to play Halo 2 with him in Germany. The guy could probably play 4 on 1 with decent players and still have a good chance of winning.

I need a need a new tag, maybe Ninja juggernaut since it was the only game that I did good at.

I noticed I wasn't the worst in every game which is a small improvement from the previous nights. One thing I'm going to try is turning up my sensitivity a tad bit. Hopefully I can aim and track the trampoline players a little better as I lose track of them if they are jumping within 10-20 feet of me.
 
LOL! I was hoping this rumor would spread like wildfire through B3D and our next battle would have double the attendance.

I would have thought you were just a really good player. I mean, we did see better players last night afterall. ;) :p

I didn't think it was particularly out of the ordinary. I know players who use max sensitivity with the gamepad too, so it's still within the bounds of console skill for that sort of jumping and aiming.
 
WRT aiming while jumping, Bumper Jumper helps a lot. Aiming while meleeing is easier too. It takes a while to get used to but once you've got it there's no going back.
 
Are you saying to map your jump and melee to a bumper?

I've never thought of that--I hardly ever or don't use the Lt bumper as much so that's a good idea. It would take a while to get used to meleeing with the R bumper though.
 
Yes, Bumper Jumper maps jump to the left bumper and melee the the right. A and B take the roles of left/right bumpers respectively. Better because who cares if you can look around while you reload, but being able to keep your right thumb on the thumbstick while you jump and melee offers a distinct advantage over the default setup. It does take a while to retrain your muscle memory; you'll reload instead of melee more than a few times :mad: but it's well worth it IMO.
 
yep I've tried it but it will take some practice.

to those of you who think you're not good enough, believe me, you'll do fine after a bit. Just when I think I got it figured out, I get destroyed. :p

Please join us.

Joshua, agreed I noticed more accuracy when jumping form you than most but the bumper jumper is similar Id say.
 
WOW! That was a marathon session last night/this morning. I haven't played like that until almost 4AM in a long time. Good times.

I got some homework to get done, but I may be on later,
 
:D Sorry for keeping you guys all awake... It's a holiday for me today. :p I think I'll check out those replay vids with the giant explosions. :cool:

Oh btw, these are what the main skulls do:

  1. Iron - teammate dead = reload checkpoint, everyone dead = reload level
  2. Black Eye = no shield auto-regeneration. Need to melee enemies to do so.
  3. Tough Luck = enemies dodge more against grenades, needlers etc.
  4. Catch = enemies throw MORE grenades. Always drop grenades when killed
  5. Fog = no radar
  6. Famine = half ammo on dropped weapons
  7. Thunderstorm = enemies gain a rank e.g. blue brute turns into gold brute etc.
  8. Tilt = Resistance to human weapons is increased
  9. Mythic = double enemy health
The four other skulls:

  1. blind = no hud
  2. grunt birthday party = head shots to grunts = explosive party ;)
  3. cowbell = grenades have increased explosive damage
  4. IWHBYD = more combat dialog
Bolded the ones that I think we should try next time. :devilish: You guys will get your achievements in no time. ;)

lucky bastages... sorry I had to bail, I normally can stay up until 2am (Arizona time) but had to turn in early ... sorry I missed the rest of the night... it is MUCH more fun playing with you guys.

thanks!
 
by the way guys... don't forget to log in here (and link it to your gamertag) to follow all of your/our stats and detail game analysis including play by play of each match (game viewer).

It is very cool and useful if we decide to start practicing tactics as well for objective games or just to see from where and how you got each kill.

Not to mention the Saved Film vault allows us all to watch the replays of any saved matched together in our party. :)

Are you guys down for some MP tonight?
I haven't been on at all this week because of some school work, but will try to get on tonight.
 
no kids this weekend so I need to spend quality time with the GF tonight. I hope to be on a bit later (11pm PT?) though. ;)

We have company tonight but I will see. Hopefully we can make this a frequent thing though, even if every person cannot make every weekend.

I was goofing with some Flag Rally in H2, thought about making a custom map for us if others were interested :cool:
