oh lol, 3rd person with no crosshairs!

Never heard anyone refer to it as a "rectangle" before though, much less a "rec." I've seen reticle and reticule.
 
I've played 3rd person Hardcore...it sorta sucks. You can remove the radar and set your life to Minimal (like hardcore) but leave the HuD on so you have something to aim with.

Hell, you don't have to aim with those anyway. Should work out for you 😉

If there's room add me to the list
XBL tag: mr cakes86

I've played a few times before with the other guys but not a lot show up, hopefully we can get more this time.

Its not just you. That doesn't sound fun at all. I am cool with trying out some different modes, but all shields would not be cool.

I would really like to play some objective stuff. It is hard to get many decent games like that with pubs.
 
It will mostly be up to the host. Of course, if the majority of the room rebels (and admittedly, I'm not down for shields-only, either) we can always split off into multiple rooms.

FYI, for this Thursday I was just planning on some TDM, CTF, and Domination. Was going to keep things simple and straightforward for the first game night.
 
why not make some kind of riot shield custom game adpatation.

like swat vs rioters.. one team has riot sheilds.. the other team has lets say shotgun and have to cross a area..

liek crowd control or something.. no respawning.. something custom and interesting..

make something unqiue.... does that game have auto team balance?? if it does u could set up some kind infected game typed. when u die switch sides untill the last person

commando runners vs riot/pistol or soemthing like that also...

I agree. It would be fun experimenting to find out the pros and cons of builds.
 
We still a go for tonight? If I can get home in time I will join in, most likely late but I should be there at some point.

BTW how many can be in a room at one time?
 
I'll be there! Probably early too.

The maximum number of people depends on the game mode. For Ground War, you can have up to 18 people. Most other game modes have a limit of 12. If you're doing a private, custom match I think you can also have up to 18 people.

One thing to remember is that MW2 parties are not the same as Xbox Live parties. You can only have 8 people in an Xbox Live party, so we probably won't bother with setting up any of those. Just get everyone in the same room via invites and stick to game chat.

Should we change our clan tag to AT or something so we can identify each other?

EDIT: Added everyone in the OP list to my friends list.

Something has come up and I will be unable to play 🙁

I might be able to show up late, but not sure.
 
Who's going to take care of inviting people? Want me to do it? I'll be on early (~7-7:30 eastern time) so I can start adding people to the group as they show up. I've sent friend requests to everyone on the list so I should know when people go online.

GT is ItsaMamaLuigi.

Only problem is around 10:30 I'll have to be gone for 30-45 minutes. Late dinner once the fiancee gets home. But I already told her ahead of time that I'd be doing this so I should be able to rejoin the group after.
 
Everyone needs to add the XBL GT "AnandTechGaming" and use the friends of friends function. It's why I made it (my list was full).
 
I get out of work at 9, so I'll be on a bit after that. I think I have some of you as friends already, so I'll just try to join in progress.
 
The problem with joining in progress is it doesn't put you in the same MW2 group together, and as a result, it won't necessarily put you on the same team. That won't matter if we're doing custom, private games or if there are enough people that we end up split across opposite teams anyway, but it can be problematic. You also can't join in progress if the game is full, so it's unreliable.
 
I think private match is the way to go.

I'm going to try to make it but i'm on the west coast and that is a little early for me after work. When i can i'll jump on and look for an invite.

If you guys are done or the game is full i'll just try again next week.

Then play a private match...sounds like you'll have enough people.

Yeah, good idea. If we're doing a private match, we'll probably have to start out doing FFA on smaller maps, but as more people show up it can grow into some more interesting game types. I'll try to get as many people in the group as possible but "Join Session In Progress" should always be an option.
