I've been stuck running a couple times. Pretty exciting when it causes me to sprint out of cover.

The only glitch I've experienced is rolling backwards and my character actually rolled forward, has happened at least twice...which I guess is not bad.

Finished the campaign last night after struggling to get our third man online enough to do so since launch. Won't spoil anything but definitely an amazing story.

Does anyone want to try Insane Beast Mode tomorrow night?

And I tried to melee the final boss with instagib active, but nothing happened. I guess that kills that Insane Arcade idea.

dom suicided with a car he coulda grenaded

the ending area was surrounded by a storm but now the locusts get through

markus stabs the bitch for dom, she didn't even kill dom he suicided, and why the hell did she walk towards marcus in the first place

there were many time where i thought, the locusts evolved, couldn't they evolve to not allow us to use their equipment (catapults/ships)

You're thinking too much.

Did 20 more "number 1" chapters (the prologue), so tomorrow ill probably rap that achievement up after doing the last 20 to get to the total of 60. 20 times took me about 30 minutes i think.

Im at level 41 or 42 i forget. So im close to level 50 achievement.

The problem with Serious 3.0 is the onyx medal for doing special events that epic does, (Socialite, war supporter ribbon/medal whatever). IGN wiki page said it takes 30 epic events to get onyx. Im guessing that even if you do every special event they have, its going to be another year and a half, or longer to get all those. I already have one, thought it was from the beta, but turns out it was just for playing during week 1. But my point is, its going to be a loooooong time before anyone can get seriously 3.0 even if they have everything else but the Socialite achievement.

I think I'm 25 or 26 away from Number 1 myself. I think at some point I'll just end up playing Arcade Mode on Normal online constantly in order to get a lot of money and points (which is also an Onyx Medal).

I don't understand how Seriously 3.0 got past certification since I thought there was a 'No Insane Achievements' rule. It should really be changed though. It's just too much.

I also had an interesting thought. Boosting KotH in Private Matches.

Went back to MP for a quick game because I want Prescott (300 completed matches for ALL Versus game modes is f*cking ridiculous btw) and of COURSE the first match I get is on a shitty P2P connection. I'm about to just say f*ck it and put all my free time into RAGE and Skyrim for the rest of the year.

I played with nothing but the Lancer last night and was doing pretty well overrall, I was doing everything right the only problem is for whatever ing reason, stopping power only works SOMETIMES.

People run in a straight line with the sawed off while I hammer them with regular and active Lancer, they still manage to close the distance and gib me, then other times they get downed and aren't even close to me. I'll charge an active and be shooting at someone with the only thing exposed is their head, but I still get downed. Or I'll have an active and be hammering someone, I'll take what looks like 4 shots with the retro and go down.

I went 1 game where I had like 8 kills and 12 downs on overpass, yet I chalk up all the bullshit to shitty connections and the fact that it's hidden very well.

I believe you've answered your own question. I feel your pain; it's even happened to me in Horde! A grinder clipped through a wall and tore me apart.

I decided to try some versus last night. While I wasn't 0 kills, 15 deaths every round, I didn't do fantastic either - the first game, the enemy always seemed to get their shot off before mine. Perhaps it's that host bias everyone's been talking about, perhaps I'm just not all that good at the game.

All i know is when I left THAT game for another, I did a lot better, then I shifted games again and sucked it up. If there's hidden latency that just isn't showing up, perhaps I'm going to just stop playing the versus stuff - it's frustrating when you shoot someone with a hammerburst a dozen times and they don't fall down... I also missed with the sawed off far too many times when the person appeared to be directly in front of me; It wasn't a distance problem, as I've played enough horde to know the proper distance for a kill with the weapon.

My experience makes me understand some of the frustrations people have spoken about regarding the versus modes in the thread. Even with the problems, though, I had an incredible amount of fun playing deathmatch.

If anyone is interested in getting the Season Pass, 4000 point cards are only $35 on Buy.com:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=304727

Ordinarily, the Season Pass would cost you $30 (2400 points) if paying retail price for point cards. With this deal, it's $21 for the Season Pass. Obviously, this applies to all Xbox Live prices, but considering this one is so expensive to begin with, it really makes for a nice discount.

Ouch. I got my headpopped by a Gnasher from a Mulcher concession stand camper in Trashball a couple of minutes ago. Literally watched his shotgun phase through cover while he aimed top down the same wall I was standing on. Pretty amazing how Epic still can't seem to hire someone who knows how to actually mitigate host advantage in their games. Keyword here is mitigate not mask. There's a f*cking difference you know.

LOL. Now the typical signs of host bridging are starting to show in matches. People are lagging out before the game starts. This is great.

How many games have you played? I've played around 40 and have yet to encounter any P2P issues. There's been MAYBE one game where I felt like my Shotgun wasn't connecting, but I think it was more related to my playing the game for several hours already and losing my concentration.
