At this rate, we'll catch up to the Halo thread in no time.

Just put it in your sig so we don't have to worry about bumping it every page.

No, we won't. I guarantee no one is bothering with this game by the new year.

Stogieman · Nov 13, 2008, 05:01 PM

Like GTA IV?

Dakar V · Nov 13, 2008, 05:04 PM

Yep. Difference is, GTA's story mode was way longer. I'll be surprised if this passes the GTA thread.

while i agree we will never top Halo 3 i do think Gears 2 could pass up GTA IV, i'll definitely be playing it longer than i played multiplayer GTA, i've always loved gears and the new multiplayer (with some tweaks/patches) could be something i play for a long time.

Same. Has EPIC said anything about a possible fix?

klb5090 · Nov 13, 2008, 05:41 PM

so for sunday is everyone EST? i'm trying to narrow the start time

Geofries · Nov 13, 2008, 05:43 PM

I suck with timezones. I live in Houston though. Shall be on literally all day though.

i'm not sure but i think houston is only 1hr behind EST

EDIT: i know dakar and sek are EST (as am I)

klb5090 · Nov 13, 2008, 05:50 PM

i'm placing the tentative time for start on sunday at 12pm EST (11am for you Geofries), lets go from there....
earlier? later? sufficient?

sek929 · Nov 13, 2008, 06:16 PM

Sounds about when I might wake up.

Stogieman · Nov 13, 2008, 06:16 PM

That sounds fine. I'm usually in bed until 10am (west coast time) on Sunday mornings.

Maybe, GTA does have the advantage of being on 2 platforms. You won't see many PS3 users in this thread.

sek929 · Nov 13, 2008, 07:06 PM

I'd like to congratulate myself on my most successful thread on the NN in 9 years.

Geofries · Nov 13, 2008, 07:08 PM

Time is good for me.

sek929 · Nov 13, 2008, 07:32 PM

I was thinking the same thing while playing the other day.

"If they can make Jack cloak, why the hell doesn't anything else cloak?"

klb5090 · Nov 13, 2008, 08:25 PM

haha, thats classic

Yeah I was saying that to a buddy while playing coop and pointing out all the retarded things in the story. Sent him this comic as soon as it came out.

sek929 · Nov 13, 2008, 11:26 PM

Gears of War has a story?

When did this happen?

This should be entertaining. I'll be slurring words for the first half-hour, and probably die in the first wave.

True... but you'll notice the PS3 forum members really aren't as chatty as the 360 users. I'm sure it means something.

Interesting timing, what with me making predictions about when this thread will be dead by,

Guess who won't be reviving you.

>> THIS GUY <<

Dakar V · Nov 14, 2008, 06:29 PM

Alright, who the hell is the new dude, and of course, your ****ing game isn't joinable.

Dakar V · Nov 14, 2008, 06:39 PM

I love this game. First match of the day the other team is two guys short in the lobby, another two drop out while the map is loading, the when the game starts there's MEGA lag, ad the final guy quits out. I don't even think I got credit for the entire ordeal because the game hung on the rounds screen, and I was booted to main menu with "connection to host lost"

That was mattyb, and I have no idea how one can make a Horde game joinable, seems to be a crapshoot.

Dakar V · Nov 14, 2008, 07:01 PM

This is why I usually don't post my GT BOGUES. [/evil eye]

Also, hope you enjoyed that game of Wingman as much as I did.

My apologies good sir, and yes that wingman game was amazing haha

in other news sek and i started the campaign on insane and well.... its insane. i can't describe it any other way, we finished all of act 1 and a small portion of act 2.

Stogieman · Nov 14, 2008, 08:01 PM

How hard is insane? Is it more difficult than legendary on Halo?

sek929 · Nov 14, 2008, 08:07 PM

Yes, much more difficult.

The part on act 1 where you have to defend the drilling derricks had me pulling my hair out.

x2...
we've only played 1/5th of the campaign and its HARD, without a co-op partner it would be close to unbearable, i can't count how many times i was knocked down and saved by sek.

mattyb · Nov 15, 2008, 07:02 AM

Sorry, should have posted here that I'd be sending friend reqs before doing it. My GT is Veteran35th and I lost my horde cherry last night. Quite fun. I could hear sek/fatty but my mike wasn't working.

Hats off to anyone that does 50 in horde : 1) for the skill and 2) for the patience - how long does it take?

Matchmaking is pants though.

I'm going to be a bit late - 12:30 or 1:00 it looks like.

Dakar V · Nov 16, 2008, 01:16 PM

sek, we may need you later... looks like geoffries is trying to get 50 without us.

jokell82 · Nov 16, 2008, 03:22 PM

Sorry guys - my internet went down. Hopped back on when it came back but I didn't see any way to join back up.

klb5090 · Nov 16, 2008, 03:52 PM

Odd. Shoulda said something I would have reinvited you.

We completed it with the core three, but I'm up for helping anyone who needs to finish it.

Good work guys! we had 4 for a while and even 5 for a wave or so and come wave 40 it was just the core 3. I'm also down to help anyone who needs it.

Dakar V · Nov 16, 2008, 04:57 PM

I passed 1600 ad 1700 kills during our run.

Edit: The impressive part about 50 was we had 2 or more of those riders get in the laser area and we somehow killed them all. I'm not eve sure anyone died during that.

Edit 2: I'm gonna grab some grub and then I'll be back on for a while if anyone wants in.

i may be back on in a little, i'll keep my eye on the xbox live widget.

You gotta give us credit Bogues. I think it was around Wave 47 that you died at the beginning and stogie and I managed to handle the entire Wave.

sek929 · Nov 16, 2008, 05:27 PM

I give credit to the security system

Dakar V · Nov 16, 2008, 05:28 PM

I give credit to your mom.

Not only that but there was also a few times around wave 44/45 i went down and was crawling for my life and one of you went on a solo mission to revive me, good work all around.
