The knife only rust round was pretty funny. My roommate was watching that the whole round and was just dying laughing. I still dont know what "just warming up" achievment is. hahaha.



Yeah I kinda couldn't stop laughing at this as well. Of course Kabob decides that my Riot Shield on my back wasn't fair so he tossed the no shooting rule out the window and shot me a few times LOL!

Luigi was getting pretty good with the throwing knife. I had few kills myself that way but half the time forgot to go and get the knife back, whooops.

Hahahaha! I didn't even hear the shots! I remember thinking how strange the game was all quiet...it was kind of eerie. Until the predator came down. lol.

on another note...who on here is "blackinches69"?
 
Not sure but he was pretty damn good. I know managed get him twice on the last game with my M203 but other than that I think he killed me about 10 times in that match.

I do know he was running an M16 with Stopping Power Pro.

In my defense I literally ran behind you and stabbed you in the back 5 times at one point...I was so frusterated I threw the no shooting rule out the window, that's just ridiculous!

m16 with stopping power pro is deadly. i also run ninja pro on any class. i really enjoyed it and am about to hop on and see if any of you guys are on now. i actually have my xbox on ebay now but might just take it off if this thursday thing works out..

Yeah, I like the M16 but I couldn't get it working on the one game I used it on (the last TDM Highrise game). Switched to a full-auto weapon and it works better. Typically I do great with the M16 though...I was just "off."

Good gaming with you last night black, you're pretty durn good!

definitely! you're very good at timing things as far as when to shoot and when to move. looking forward to playing soon!
 
I'm pretty fond of Domination, Demolition, Sabotage, and HQ myself. I don't like S&D because there are no respawns. And I don't like CTF either but that's just me, I'll still play it but I'm not good at juggling offense and defense!

Also the TDM was a bit ridiculous when the 2-3 best players are all on a single team and camping underneath the helicopter on Highrise. That was pretty awful. I guess congrats for doing so well but yeesh.

We definitely have to do another last man standing FFA and another knife-only FFA on Rust. Those were fun.

Oh and no more HC please. Or if you are going to do hardcore, let everyone know before the match starts and give them some time to set up a hardcore class. Because everyone has so much less health (30 instead of 100), you want to use a totally different setup.

I understand the stacking although I'm not sure who was camping under the helicopter...maybe that was before I got there.
 
I dont mind losing when its because one team is just better. The only time it was annoying yesterday was when it was a 7 v 5 game. It was impossible to get a foothold on defense.
 
And on the camping note...i never noticed, in any of the games we played, anyone really doing what i consider "camping"...maybe it happened, i just didn't get killed by it. There were defensive players, but no one in the dark corners or random spots waiting for people to walk by.

I was on the team with 5. It wouldn't have been too terrible if it was a TDM game but the fact that it was an objective game and we were down by 2 was a bit rough.

Yeah, I thought that overall it wasn't bad at all camping-wise. On Highrise people watched down the long alley next to the crane, that was about the most camping I saw and I think it's perfectly acceptable (although it started me off 0-3 on that match!)
 
i will say on last man standing there was some camping going on... lol.

And look where it got him...dirty winner! 😛

I didn't have an issue with it though. Once again it was a strategic position, it's not like he was sitting in the bathroom upstairs in the house waiting for someone to walk by.

no it was the shed on the bottom of estate till there was three people left. lol.
 
You all are just no fun! 😛

I'm sure it just takes some getting used to, but I felt like a retarded mule in 3rd person. I had trouble just walking through doors, I kept running into the wall instead. It might be easier if it was directly behind the head but with that view up and off to the side, I could barely walk in a straight line much less engage in a firefight.

Somebody mentioned it was like Gears of War. I absolutely hate the Gears of War series. I also hate Army of Two mainly because of the 3rd person view. Shooters are meant to be played first person.

yeah i am used to gears of war / army of two style gameplay. so 3rd person doesnt bother me. still gotta hit the aiming trigger. 🙂

we at least have to play 1-2 3rd person... good variety keeps the customs fun.. we wont overload 3rd person but its nice at least once.

even mass effect has the same style 3rd person shooter.
 
I really enjoyed last night as well! A couple of my favs were the knife fight and last man standing. I think we should try throwing knives knife fight next time. As for last man standing, a team based last man standing might be fun.

As for my camping, not sure if you guys noticed but the first LMS game I was sniping. Of course I'm not going to run around with a sniper! As far as the camping, I try as best I can to not actually camp. Generally I hold down an area and move back and forth looking for people. I'll tell you waht though, that game was freaking intense. My hands were sweating soooo bad for that game. Something about having a limited number of lives just got me a hell of a lot more worked up/worried.

As for 3rd person, well, I like bober felt like a retarded mule. The one cool thing was sniping though. I could sit behind a box, completely covered up and watch in front of me. As soon as I saw someone I'd pop up and zoom in. It was the best sniping cover I've ever had!!!
 
If we do throwing knives, here's what I would suggest:

Primary weapon: SMG (higher mobility) and NO RIOT SHIELDS!!!! :awe:
Secondary weapon: doesn't matter
Perk 1: Scavenger Pro (get a new throwing knife whenever you run over a blue backpack, no need to hold X to pick it up)
Perk 2: Lightweight (lol)
Perk 3: doesn't matter

For regular stabbing, Commando is pretty insane and you probably want a pistol with tac knife as your secondary.
