[xDARKx Knight]

Damn! Me and my GMTness :cry:

[TheEyecon]

I wish that I could have my copy of KZ2 right now...

[Darknyss]

Looking forward to it!

[The Mana Knight]

I posted it in the thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215981) title of the KZ2 night/clan thread. I'll go ahead and link this thread also.

[JMEPO]

I'll see if I can make it!

[Warlock TCK]

Oh, I'm so down for this.

[Joe Sparxxx]

I can't wait for tonight guys, don't worry wombat you won't be the worst person there if I show up, LOL

[dubbfoolio]

sweet. I'm going to try to play tonight for a little while. I saw half my friend's list playing Halo 3 last week and thought something must be up.

[arcanistherogue]

Awesome, I'm not too active on the forums but I love the main site/podcasts. I'll try to show up, hopefully there's room for me!

[KingBroly]

I just might be there.

[Mogambi]

I am planning on playing!

[scargums]

i'll be there, though still not password has me worried...

[sotc1988]

Heh, game starts in fifteen minutes and no password. Where in the world is Wombat San Diego?

[kube00]

I'll be there for a bit

[KingBroly]

Heh, game starts in fifteen minutes and no password. Where in the world is Wombat San Diego?

DAMNIT, man, Sandiego is 1 word, not two! in that context of course.

I'll definitely be there. Why? Someone has to save Wombat from getting shot in the back :lol:

[cgarb84]

ready and waiting.

[kube00]

Since I'm new to the game how do I join a private game?

[Pan1c42]

I'll be there, if there is enough room.

[KingBroly]

Since I'm new to the game how do I join a private game?

You search for it, click on it, and enter the password. Or find a friend who's in it, click on it, and enter the password.

[arcanistherogue]

Since I'm new to the game how do I join a private game?

Yeah, I have no clue how to do this either, some help would be appreciated

[Tengaport]

I'm in - but like Kube00 not sure how to join, haven't tried the multiplayer in KZ2 yet

[Wombat]

The room name is CAGCAST, the password is shippy. It should either show up when you search for games, or if you have a friend playing you can join the room

[The Mana Knight]

I'm in - but like Kube00 not sure how to join, haven't tried the multiplayer in KZ2 yetYou can join if you have a friend online playing, or you can join by searching for servers which are password protected (if I'm right here).

[kube00]

if u want to invite me feel free to add me as a friend....

[Pan1c42]

Is the room going up at 8pm? Or alittle early so everyone can settle in?

[Wombat]

The room is up

[The Mana Knight]

The password is lowercase "shippy", in case you all wanted to know.

[kube00]

still cant find the room are we playing a certain kind of match

[Pan1c42]

I don't see it either. I searched for any password protected room. Any tips?

[KingBroly]

I'm having troubles signing into Killzone 2 online, personally. I'll be there when I can.

[Davestation]

yeah network error -931 or something like that?

[dubbfoolio]

network error code -988. fucking playstation.

[Spartan V07]

same,i can't log in

[Pan1c42]

I'm online, and in the room list. But can't find it.

[Spartan V07]

same,wombat lied.

[dubbfoolio]

okay looks like it's back online but I see no cagcast room.

[Pan1c42]

Game is full now. Just heard from ManaKnight.

(Edit: Full rooms don't appear)

[The Mana Knight]

A spot sometimes opens between games, just to let you know.

[Spartan V07]

you sure about that? Because i see lots of full rooms and they are still there.

[Imallvol7]

I can't find the room. My PSN is Imallvol7 if anyone wants to invite me to it.

[Imallvol7]

what servers and time zone am I supposed to be in?

[Pan1c42]

The room is full and sometimes won't show.

Also, I see rooms alot that are showing 31/32 but when I join it says it is full.

[Spartan V07]

that is kinda dumb and ghetto lol.

[Imallvol7]

The room is full and sometimes won't show.

Also, I see rooms alot that are showing 31/32 but when I join it says it is full.

what am I supposed to be searching?

[Spartan V07]

what am I supposed to be searching?

you can't because it's already full.

[Imallvol7]

you can't because it's already full.

eh . . . then i give up . . . not worth it.

[The Mana Knight]

I left the room along with some others, so some space might have opened. Good games everyone and I had fun. :D

[cgarb84]

Yeah good games. That is the most fun I've had playing Killzone since I bought it.

[KingBroly]

Triple Kill with a Grenade on 3 dudes turning their back? PRICELESS

[xGunCrazyx]

Good games :)
The second match I was just destroying the other team, I think I was on a kill streak of at least 9 or 10 lol

[retrovertigo]

Hey, thanks for some fun games! I was playing from about 10-10:30 under the name AceCarnage. I finally figured out how to use the medic properly. It was a good time! I'm sorry I didn't jump in earlier!

Btw, I had absolutely no problem finding the game. I filtered all games with a secured password. The CAG room was the first one, on a list of 5 or so games. It couldn't have been any easier.

[Beanopolis]

Yeah! Great game. I sneaked in for a few rounds and got to kill Wombat. YAY!
Hopefully I'll figure out more on whats actually going on in the game as I play some more.

Looking forward to the next time to play!

[yohsh]

Where was CheapyD?

[Chibi_Kaji]

Btw, I had absolutely no problem finding the game. I filtered all games with a secured password. The CAG room was the first one, on a list of 5 or so games. It couldn't have been any easier.
I had a little trouble finding it. Thankfully one of the few people on my Friends list was playing the game so I got in that way.

[DarkNessBear]

Man... I missed it :(

[KingBroly]

I wonder when/what the next CAGcast Game Night will be? I would nominate Mario Kart Wii, but...you know...friend codes/no voice chat/9 yards, so I'll nominate Call of Duty 4 (360), Warhawk (PS3) and Grand Theft Auto IV (360).

[Imallvol7]

I would nominate Halo 3 and Killzone 2 again. Of all the games I own and play, I never realized these were the only 2 I really play online, lol. At least till I get back into Socom.

[AgentSushi]

I know there have been a few other comments about this, but it would be great if you could hold the games a little earlier next time so us Brits could join. 1AM GMT is a little to late. I Know this is proberly not possible due time retraints.
I would nominate Halo 3, Call of Duty 4/WAW (360) next time..

[MSUHitman]

The best games to do this with are:

360
Halo 3, CoD 4, CoD WatW (all as invite only matches to keep them private), Perfect Dark Zero, and Frontlines: Fuels of War (PDZ and Frontlines are the only 32-player games on the 360)

PS3
Warhawk and Killzone 2

[The Mana Knight]

PS3
Warhawk and Killzone 2Since I'm Warhawk and KZ2, I'd make sure the game nights go smoothly. ;)

Resistance 1 and 2 work well too (since they can have large multi-player), but I doubt many own them (I especially love R2, but it's not for everyone).

[kube00]

Looks like someone is getting RE5!!! TMK

[AgentSushi]

Anyone know if there is a CAG game tonight?

[Hired.Geek]

Is there a game night tonight at 9:00 pm EST?

[The Mana Knight]

I didn't hear anything so I assumed nothing (did not update on anything).

[Wombat]

We are playing KIllzone2 at 9PM, Password is shaqfu

[The Mana Knight]

All right, I posted an update in the game night thread. I'll try sending people I know a PSN message reminding them.


Date: 3/15
Time: 9pm EST
Host: cheapyd
Game name: CAGCast
Password: shaqfu

[listerfeend]

We should hit up some TF2 for a game night. If wombat and cheapy even play TF2. Which they should.

[kida101]

Devasted I can't make it tonight since I coulda pimped my general skillz...pleeze do this again next Sunday...and keep it KZ2

[iguss]

How do we type in a room name?

[iguss]

Did anyone get in?

[Warlock TCK]

I don't think you can type in a room name. I'm pretty sure the room's full anyway.

[kube00]

someone quit so I can play!!!!

[danny8k]

am i too late?

[ShadowWolf9]

A lot of people just left.

It was a great time, I had fun with you guys :D

PSN: Crims0nEdged

[cgarb84]

Room was full when I tried to join tonight. I was late due to me starting RE 5 before I played Killzone. I finally unlocked the engineer tonight so next time I play I will have to mess around with that. Hopefully we can keep playing these Sunday night CAG games, I promise I won't be late next week. #-o

[totalfailure]

I made it in, and wanted to say thanks to everyone. Been a member and listener for a long time, but not much of a poster here. First time I played KZ2 online since the beta, and at least I didn't totally suck. Thanks again to all for a good time.....

[MarkHawk]

Good times

"Wombat! Don't you Die on me!"

Now to find that Cag clan forum sign up.

Also heard a few of the Rebel FM guys in there. THat was pretty cool. They were discussing Killzone and RE5. I have no idea how they heard each other. they had to be talking to one another in the same room.

[The Mana Knight]

That was fun. I forgot about another game night so I showed up late. Got my medic badge and gained more experience. If people would like to play more games games, take a look at the CAG KZ2 game night and clan thread (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215981).

[KingBroly]

Most of the people who were playing Medic deserve to be punched in the face. Don't respawn me if I don't call for a Medic. Maybe I want to start an another spawn point with full health, full ammo, and the ability to create another turret/bot/etc.

[Tengaport]

Had a good time tonight, but man - too many people sound like they are sitting on their mics.

[Darknyss]

Hey Cheapy, have you unlocked the health packs yet? I couldn't tell!! :lol: :bouncy:

[Wombat]

dude, you called for Medic like every 5 seconds, and were hostile about it. did you ever thank anyone that risked thier own life and limb to heal you?

Really? I didn't know that.

I had some fun last night. I manged to reach the rank of Major and unlock the repair ability for the the engineer. But I must say that my favorite part of last night was my assassination kill in Radec Academy. I found the VIP sitting in a corner and threw a grenade at him. :lol:

[Tengaport]

Hey Cheapy, have you unlocked the health packs yet? I couldn't tell!! :lol: :bouncy:

Frackin hilarious! :)

[CheapyD]

That was a lot of fun! Somehow, I got really excited throwing around the health packs. I like that they recharge pretty fast so I can be generous. Made Captain today...thanks everyone!

[danny8k]

I had a lot of fun yesterday ^^. I only had the game for 1 day but I think I didn't do too bad. The Cagcast game night was a great idea to bring the community together. Keep it up ^^.

ARGH!!! Now I REALLY wish I would've played last night!!!

[Tengaport]

Was I the only one last night losing my mind over the amount of noise coming through my headset? Feedback, squealing and people's kids. Is it too difficult for people to just mute up when they play?

This was the first time I really played on-line with my PS3 and was just shocked at how migraine inducing the chatter was. I understand having 32 people in a room can get pretty loud, but it's not like many people were actually talking - most were just farting into their mics.

Perhaps I'm just too used to Xbox Live. Sure, matches are filled with racists and homophobes on Xbox Live, but at least I can hear their insults clear.

[MarkHawk]

dude, you called for Medic like every 5 seconds, and were hostile about it. did you ever thank anyone that risked thier own life and limb to heal you?

He was like that the whole night...

"Oh Come on! Just get him! You Guys let him get away"
"Oh Come on Heal Me! Somone get me up! How could you let me Die!"
"AGDJHJFHSAJSGSHGAFGSKGFSK Oh Come on! I hate this game!"

:p I did stop saving him after round 5 because he just kept blaming everyone for everything. But He was the only one I could really hear all night.

Agreed!

I could not understand what most people were saying. I heard people I helped up say "Why Thank you" but I only new it was directed at me because I just had picked them up. I kind of wish squad chatter was locked to your squad only. Like you said to much garbage.

I also don't like any sound quality out of mics on a PS3. I have the official Sony one but I still have such a hard time making out what others are saying. Wonder how the Turtle Beach X4s are.

I never really heard him complaining. But alot of the time I would be hanging back to stop the enemy from delivering the speaker or guarding a capture point. So I spent atleast 2 or 3 round hanging back. And when I was around with allies it was usal pretty chatioc...

I own the official PS3 headset as well and I can hear most people fine. There always seem to be one or two people I have trouble hearing. But I guessing it could be a problem on their end.

I hear it, I just hear to much I guess. When ever I mute my mic it annoys me because the constant beeping is so loud and about every 10 seconds. I would factor that into why no people don't mute there Mics. The PS3 mics just may not cancel out background noise to well.

[The Mana Knight]

I also don't like any sound quality out of mics on a PS3. I have the official Sony one but I still have such a hard time making out what others are saying. Wonder how the Turtle Beach X4s are.It honestly varies by game, since voice chat is handled by each dev individually (It's not like 360 where voice chat code is already provided, developers have to write their own on PS3). Most games that come from SCEE (like MotorStorm: PR, KZ2, LBP, etc.) tend to not have very good voice chat, while games that come from SCEA usually (like R2, Warhawk (as long as a good headset is used that doesn't pick up tons of noise), and so on) have very good voice chat. The game we were in was a tad laggy, which hurts a little too. Sometimes, like for games by Namco Bandai, they are designed around Japanese internet speed, which leads to weird voice chat or more lag in NA.

Also, to have the best voicechat quality on PS3, you usually have to some port forwarding/open the dmz on the local IP your PS3 is set to (or else voice communication may be limited). Especially if someone has a Type 3 NAT, their voice may sound fuzzed up.

I would factor that into why no people don't mute there Mics. The PS3 mics just may not cancel out background noise to well.I'd roughly say a small percentage of mics used on PS3 have a mute button, and some bluetooth headsets pick up a lot of background noise. That is why I recommend most people keep their TV down.

[Shrapnellistic]

Pretty interesting website integration this game has, most notably the battle replay. Here's the match on Salamun Market.

http://killzone.com/kz/tour_round_history.psml?kz_match_id=2035488&kz_file_id=1816558

[KingBroly]

dude, you called for Medic like every 5 seconds, and were hostile about it. did you ever thank anyone that risked thier own life and limb to heal you?

Yes, I did, and I do, but in the later rounds when I wasn't calling for a medic (when you weren't there) right as I was pressing the X button to respawn someone just came over and respawns me when I have no ammo and a long time before a Bot or a Turret could be built.

That's where I was getting frustrated, and it didn't just happen to me, either.

[darkd75]

It was great fun playing with you guys over the weekend. Can't wait for the next game night!

[LiK]

do one for tonight! March 19.

[CheapyD]

sorry guys, can't make Sunday night this week...I have a Dr.'s appointment

[sotc1988]

Gotta go see Dr. Asshole again eh? Should provide a great story on the next cagcast.

[Xavin]

[Xavin]

[goldeneagle]

Hey guys, are we doing a CAG Game night? Wombat, are you back from FL yet? Hope we can do it tonight! This will be the first one I have been able to make.

[kube00]

No I think Wombat is back on Wed, I would say we are not having a game tonight

[goldeneagle]

Thanks kube00 for the update on Wombat. Know of anyone else that plans on getting together tonight for some gaming? We should get something going for tonight.

[Xavin]

I think it would be cool to have sort of an unofficial game night. If anyone is up for COD4, RS: Vegas 2, or Shadowrun, hit me up on LIVE.

[CheapyD]

Sorry, we were going to do a game night tonight, but I have to take Tai to the Dr. (again).

[Chibi_Kaji]

That sucks, I was looking forward to it since I missed the CAGnight on Thursday.

[kube00]

so we doing this next weekend?

[Smallville123]

We have to do something this week since i finally have a sunday off of work! ME ME ME ME ME as wombat says!

[Smallville123]

So what the dillyyo for tonight?

[Smallville123]

Lame Sauce!

[Darknyss]

Wombat = FAIL

[Xavin]

[misterine]

[Xrazor]

Wombat! You have to update us on the next Gamenight.

While you decide what game it will be, I will hope that it is something I have.

1943? Fat Princess? more Killzone 2?

Hint:I have a PS3...
