You shouldn't be. Nice wings!
 
[quote name='PocariSweat']Anyone experience lag input after installing boosters?[/quote]

Can't say I remember that happening to me... I have all 3, but bought the 1st two together, then the new one later.
 
[quote name='Romis']Sunday nite's games are just barebones, basic stuff that came with the game, no extra maps are needed right?[/quote]
yup.
 
Yeah I was doing bad ALL NIGHT, I might pop in tonight for a couple of minutes...but I'll be there tommorrow for 1hour+ maybe 2+
 
I've been banned from DD83's server for TOO MANY TEAMKILLS :lol:

I swear, tonight it felt like anything I did resulted in a TK. Am I really that bad?

GG anyway, I'll try for Sunday evening.


BTW DD, you will unban me, right? :cry:

:rofl:
I didn't do it, it must be automatic. I don't know how bans work in Warhawk, but I'd guess they're temporary, as in until the server restarts.

I came real close to restarting the server as unranked sooo many times, then one random guy would pop in for long enough to start the server.:bouncy:
That last Col was freaking annoying. The non-cag that was on my team team-killed me then he didn't pick up the cores to score.:roll:
That last Hero was fun, but too bad it didn't count for points.:roll:

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like to see a non cag be MVP. That's why I kept trying to let Zen kill me during the last few minutes of the Hero Dogfight.:cry:

I had to :lol: when metaly left right when the Stand Off Hero started. I didn't know you hated it that much.
 
I swear, I didn't even know there was a Standoff Hero coming up! :whee: I was just planning to play for about an hour.

Agreed about the non-CAGs... What was with that guy who was like 21:1 in the Badlands DM? I was proud to make him 21:2, but it kind of sucks the fun out of any game for me when there's some invincible pro playing.

I'm the same. I don't like seeing non CAG's dominate a CAG server. If they keep killing me on a CAG server, I just go after them, damn everything else. :bomb:

I laughed hardest on the last map when we were both in Hero mode and you were chasing me down. Kendall came from behind and slashed me with a knife (cheeky bugger) and proceeded to plow right through you next for the TK. :bouncy:

Sure...:cool:

You mean the first map? I know there was one guy who was "dominating" *snicker* (I don't know about anyone else, but I know I don't bother to try during pre-game
Okay, so I do sometimes, when I don't think we'll get enough people, like the last hero and even that last Col
) during the pre-game of that map, he left before the actual game started though.:roll:

Yeah, that was funny. I don't know if it was that time, but once kendall slashed at me just as I stopped being hero. After I respawned I gave him a rocket to the face as a reward (he was still hero, so it didn't hurt him too much).:booty:

Anyone else get annoyed by the guy who kept flying around during the Standoff hero? I spent most of my time as hero killing him. The funny thing was, he didn't do much damage. It was kinda like having a horsefly buzzing around trying to take a bite.:lol:

I was going to report you missing to the police department.

That happened to me a few times as well, but I just figured it was lag.
Just like when I die any other way. :D

Agreed. I was chasing him down first and hit him a few times, then he went over the hill and offed DD83 in your video. He took you out in a few shots and finished me off (I'm the guy coming over hill at the end). I remember thinking "whaaa.. this guy isn't even scratched". I sort of assumed he regened his health when I lost him for a few seconds. Video proof, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that he was cheating. :nottalking:
 
I will put together a map rotation of 7 most likely tonight. I was thinking about going back to 15 minute maps because that's what I use to do, lol.

No Boosters for tonight, no fancy anything. The only thing I MIGHT enable is all talk, but I probably won't.
 
Also I hope to make tonight's game. I was planning on playing last night, but I got a call at around 2 in the afternoon that some friends were coming by the area last night and wanted to visit. So we ended up playing Rock Band instead (and I finally opened my drums). I'll definitely show up for at least a few games tonight.

:whistle2:k
Actually, if you look closely, they just threw a grenade right behind you and that's what took off most of your health.

I did some searching, julianportman is ranked 8th on the Warhawk leaderboards. :lol:
He is also, apparently, a her.

the name is Kandal! I do apologize for that TK DD83 IT WAS AN ACCIDENT =P

I do remember you rocketing me in revenge.. I just kept on moving east while you were heading towards the west.... I was thinking too myself o he's going to Team kill me. I didn't Know i was Hero at that point.. So if it wasn't for me being hero.. I would of been blown into smithereens!

I thought we were having last night's game moved for tonight, because of the one year anniversary... Stupid me for not reading the thread title. #-o:lol:
 
Cant wait for tonight, the only thing that would stop me is someone giving me a LittleBigPlanet beta key, but the chances of that are slim =)

I knew kendall didn't look right, but didn't feel like looking around for a post from you to find out how to spell it, so I just went with what cthulhu posted.
And if you weren't hero I wouldn't have rocketed you.:D

Can people with the bundle comment on the quality of the headset?
I want to get this bundle for $30, but I also have SOCOM bundle preordered using my credit. The credit is worth less than the $30 cash, but I can continue to flip with the credit so it is also valuable. So, either I spend $30 cash for WH bundle and buy SOCOM stand alone with the credite or buy the SOCOM bundle with credit and get used WH for less than $20. I am sure the SOCOM headset is better.

I don't have any experience with bluetooth headsets (outside of the WH Bundle one), but I didn't have a problem with the quality of the WH headset. My only complaint was that it is too quiet for my liking.

Though, since the 2.4/2.41 firmware, all or almost all bluetooth headsets have connection problems (at least with Warhawk and GTAIV, I can't say with other games). They'll lose connection after 1+ hour and require the PS3 to be reset to work again. If you can wait, do it. There may be a firmware upgrade around the time SOCOM comes out that'll fix the connection problem, or Sony could be an ass and leave it broken and just tell people to buy the Official headset.:roll: If you have to have one "now" I'd say get the SOCOM bundle, since that headset will have the highest probibility of working. I've been using my Eye as a mic and will continue to do so until I see how Sony handles this problem.

Also, in before TMK explains why bluetooth headsets don't work (again). I say Sony should just support the bluetooth specs fully (would the problem be THAT widespread if they followed everything fully?) or make it proprietary, none of this middle of the road shit. I'd wadger they added code to support the special "features" of the official headset and that's what borked (mostly) every other headset.

I'd wadger they added code to support the special "features" of the official headset and that's what borked (mostly) every other headset.[/QUOTE]Like I said, the specifications were messed with in order to reduce the size of the firmware to make in-game XMB possible (before hand it was not possible because the PS3 OS used up too much memory in-game, and Sony has been spending a lot of time trying to decrease the memory foot print). The problem is they cannot technically test every headset out there to make sure a firmware doesn't mess it up. The bluetooth wasn't necessarily messed with to make the official headset work, more so it was messed with to compress/refine the software code in order to allow for more features to be added. I firmware added to support the new headset isn't until the next update.

The one major issue with the PS3 is lack of RAM and Sony not exactly being the software experts like MS (Sony has the edge in hardware no doubt). Every firmware update the OS footprint is reduced in order to fit more features and eventually get the in-game XMB to work (that was their goal for a long time). Since I've worked with software myself, you reduce the amount of memory it uses by compressing and refining the code in an area (a somewhat example is instead of using several if statements, using a loop instead to do almost the same process reduces memory). Sometimes as the memory is reduced, things may not work quite the same (which could be the case with the bluetooth). There could be a problem with Sony could go back to the way the bluetooth was initially implemented, but at the same time it could push the PS3 OS memory back up above the footprint (I might not be right here, but that MIGHT be an issue). So Sony would have to find another way to make it work. When they added support for bluetooth keyboards/mics in Firmware 1.6 (also greatly reduced the memory), it DID mess up a few headsets (like Motorolla H350, which was perfect before the firmware update, then no longer worked since then).

There's a long explaination I can make about the reason Sony did not have an official bluetooth headset earlier, but I'll save that for another time. ;)

Like I said, Sony should fully support the Bluetooth specs or go proprietary.
Not being able to test every headset isn't a defense. All they have to do is support the specs and then the ball is in the headset manufacturer's court.

Anyways, this isn't the place to be discussing this... further discussion on this subject should be directed to /dev/null.:lol:
 
[quote name='DrNo888']Which one do you recommend?
There are so many models.[/QUOTE]The PS2 one:
http://www.ebgames.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=25803

or Radio Shack has some USB headsets
http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...+headset&origkw=usb+headset&parentPage=search

I think this was the headset naes use to have (until he broke it):
http://www.radioshack.com/product/i...+headset&origkw=usb+headset&parentPage=search

The PS2 headset can be found at times used for even cheaper. I just recommend USB because it's cheap, and the voice quality is superb. Only issue is that it has a long wire.

[/QUOTE]I think it's more of a matter of, not really being sure which way to go.
 
It's an hour till the anniversary game, I've got a horrible hangover and I still gotta charge my headset/controller :whee:
 
As long as you can turn on your PS3 and insert the game, go ahead and play. It will be fun shooting down a drunk person. :p I've never been drunk in my life so I don't know the experience. :rofl:
