On the map pack front I will be DLing them tommorrow...but I have some stupid plans with my girlfriends' jerk parents at their crappy house or something.

Then I am sure that my girlfriend will selfishly not want to go home and leave me alone with my new-found video game glory.

In other words, I won't be playing tomorrow.

Also.....WE NEED TO FINISH NNGP!

That it all.

God, I don't even care anymore. All our momentum has since been neutralized. I can't even remember the last time I drove a mongoose.

I'm pretty busy this week, but I suppose we can try for Thursday, 10.30.

If we don't finish it soon, I may just call it as is.

Is it too early to start bitching about the maps?

I dled them when I got up and previewed Avalanche real quick... I'm not sure I see what the point of a Hornet is when it has to go under that stupid structure where the U meets.

Downloading now...

_______

Good news everyone! That stupid jerk dinner has been cancelled! I still expect the g/f to be over around 7:30-8. Which leaves me from 4-6, and 6:20(I'm going to wolf dinner down)-7:30/8.

Hope to see you jerks on!

****, I probably won't be home till 7.

But I'll be on most of the night if stoges and MAIRONMAN want to join me.
(And anyone else who is downloading the maps but doesn't post in this thread often)

Dammit!

Oh well, the news maps will spark my Halo 3 playing probably until GTAIV comes out...or I see Bogues on RSV2.

The g/f has school tomorrow so my hours are the same except 6:30-sleep...which is around 11 for me now.

I hope to see you soon.....sexy.

Just whipped the super-sweet-new-paintjob Mongoose around Sidewinder (yeah I know, Avalanche, **** that, I'm calling it Sidewinder)

Love the huge mancannons, besides that I don't have any other impressions besides how pretty it is.

I only previewed Avalanche. I need to go home at lunch to pick something up I may take a quick walkabout of Ghost Town then.

For the record, a warthog goes across the abyss in the center cavern quite easily via mancannon.

I almost committed suicide after landing on my head via mancannon Mongoose.

Expect to see plenty of new map-o-ramas tonight!

Is it me or are the giant mancannons weird or pointless? I don't see how you'd use more than the bottom cannon.

Edit: MY obvious unfamiliarity with the map may be coming through here.

I'm a little curious how they're going to implement BTS on this map through he DLC hopper, though.

If nothing else they look super-sweet!
Am I a bastard for considering blowing my g/f off tonight? You think she'll understand if I said "But there is a new DLC Map Pack and my MacNN buddies will be playing!!

Tough call man. Depends when you saw her last... and what you two could potentially be doing tonight.
