The set of levels where you are riding on Seeders is fucking hard on insane. If you don't kill them fast enough, you don't even stand a chance.

Oh, Chas, you're a bastard. 6 hours to beat the game on normal and currently doin' HC from time to time and it's almost as weak as normal. The hell took you so long to beat the game, get lost runnin' from "Press Y to look here" 1 to "Press Y to look here" 2 ?

I was just givin' ya a hard time really. I was a little dissapointed though but hell, we all know Epic makes multiplayer games not single player games. The fact they can actually put together a fantastic story is amazin' in itself.
 
Anyone else havin' a hard time gettin' in a game? This new matchmakin' system is complete garbage. Played for 2 hours and got in a total of 5 matches. It's only like this when I'm alone though. If I play with four other people it's always quick to find us a game.

Wow, already some DLC on the way, I figured 6-7 months at least before we got some. Wont do the game a bit of good if they don't fix the problems already at hand, but that has never been EPIC's strongpoint. They don't fix they just add-on.
 
The shotgun sucks, the matchmaking sucks, the new weapons suck (poison grenades, really?)

....but it's still better then COD:WOW. Just say no to more WWII.
 
The shotgun is actually not that bad once you get used to it, its just different. I think its more the lag and matchmaking that make it appear bad. Not just the shotgun though, the game seems very inconsistent as far as damage and what not is concerned, most notable for me with the shotgun.

I don't care what anyone says, this game is still completely host based. It MAY share some of the connection through the people in the room but there is still one MAIN host. I mean the fact that if the host leaves the game crashes should be proof enough. Oh and I still think matchmaking, as in the idea of matchmaking, is stupid. Actually I take that back. Matchmaking is a cool idea, however only having the option to do matchmaking is fucking stupid as shit. It should be like Gears one where you have the server list and can pick where/how you want to play and just join a game, and have the matchmaking for ranked games only.

I agree the option to use ONLY matchmaking is stupid... Halo 3s matchmaking is perfect and if you dont feel its perfect there is no denying it is damn great at least lol. Please Epic just go copy Bungie.

I am not a fan of the complete oposite of matchmaking... Which would be like rainbow 6 were the party leader decides match type, area, weapons and whatnot... That leads to playing nothing but the Casino map with no grenades or explosives turned on... Shit like that erks the F out of me.
 
A game needs both types, the one thing I like about PSN more so than live (since alot of psn games have both). Like Resistance 2, you can do Play match which is basically matchmaking OR goto a server list and pick the one you want to play it. Its just nice being able to pick one or the other.

I understand ya Raidr but i dont agree. I think the choose all option is shit. There is no way to avoid the Casino effect from Rainbow6V.

For every game with this option i can find you the Casino map in that specific game. It is just bound to happen. You will find nothing but good connections on that one map, full parties on that one map, and people who do nothing but play that map with their options in that map. I can not stand that, but i understand you if you do.

I like the maps/gametypes to rotate and an option to Veto the current map/gametype. Nothing wrong with you wanting something different tho.
 
story speculation

i know everyone is itching for GoW3 to exsplain, but one can speculate. i need to replay Gow1 storyline to fill me in on tid-bits of info

Spoiler:

*The Locust
It is my assumption from all the statements and documents, that the locust were created by humans in a act to battle an opposing nation during the immulsion wars. Created with controlled injections or exsposure of imulsion. They became self-aware in some-sense (similar to the concept behind the computer in terminator 2) and moved underground to create thier own society, constructing tunnels and buildings until thier vengance upon the surface.

*The lambent
Its my assumption the imulsion has something behind it besides just some sort of lava/fuel. why dose it have that effect on the wretches? why dose it seem to posess the locust? why once a locust is defeated the imulsion is absorbed by others? seeming not willingly perhaps, what exsplains the brumak mutation. Did it absorb that on purpose, cuz it seemed to be running threw it's body prior to shooting out those tenticales to absorb it quicker. Seems once the immulsion takes over the subject, thier will is lost. Refered to as the infection by the locust queen.

*other (brumak, reavers, kryll, berserkers, corpsers, wretches)
Wondering how come these creaturs are not always aggresive. Or do not pursue targets, act randomly. I assume animals were made subject to the same imulsion exsposure as the locust were, and mutated. altho the berserkers are said to be "female" in one of the collectables.

*The Locust Queen
i think she was part of the project to create genitically superior humans with niles, at the research lab. Adam fenix and the doctor mentioned in the one collectibles were colleges. She toke the project too far wanted some form of world domination.

*The hallow
Presumably located around the rock worms "home" and the general area around the research lab. how they got across the entire world, and if they are remains untold i believe. the depth of the hallow comes to the bring of the immulsion. all the buildings were created by the locust, and recently by stranded slaves.

*stored sires and it's facility
it's my guess they are early forms of developed locust. locked away in the research lab by niles.

*rustlung
first symptoms of locust mutation?

The shotty doesn't suck you just haven't figured it out yet. I didn't like it at first either until I figured it out. The bullets no longer come out of the middle of the screen anymore, they come out of the barrel of the guns. The same goes for all guns. For example, in Gears 1 you could roadie run PAST an enemy and shoot when they where in the middle of your screen and still get the kill. You can't do that any more. You have to point the barrel at them. I still roadie charge but now instead of goin' beside I turn into the enemy before I shoot. If they have the lancer out it's also good measure to melee them first as well. I normally always two piece though since in Gears it's better to be safe than sorry unless you're playin' junk modes like Annex.

That all bein' said though you can still technically line up your shots the same, if in cover. While in cover I still use the center screen method but if you blindfire it'll be off until you can learn to guage where your barrell will be pointin'. Still though, it works in this instance like it should just say goodbye to most of those lucky Longshot blindfires from Gears 1. The shotty, while in cover, is more consistant than in Gears 1, even on the blindfire, especially after you realize you actually need to point the barrel at the target now.

I wish they hadn't changed the range on the shotty though. It's way to brutal, especially if active, at long range. I downed a guy last night with two shots, active, while on Pavillion. He was on one side of the Boomshield enterance area and I was commin' down from gettin' the revolver.
