Title: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 10, 2009, 09:04:30 PM: I'm on Bad Company all weekend, between spurts of working, if anyone wants to have a go? I'm really trying to get better.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on October 10, 2009, 09:13:21 PM: I traded mine in, you'll find out why on Tuesday

i'm no good at BF1943, but I was THOROUGHLY TERRIBLE at BF:BC - never knew where I was on the map, couldn't shoot for shit, three steps after respawn and dead, etc.

everyone's been playing it so long i just knew i really didn't stand a chance to catch up (even a little) to the point where i'd stop feeling like a gimp and enjoy myself - unless i invested all my free time in it

i'll still play BF1943 and other stuff with you guys, but BF:BC just wasn't my bag

Post by: Smooth Groove on October 10, 2009, 09:15:27 PM: Eel, did you try Battlefield Heroes?

It seems worth a try for the Borecast's budget gaming segment.

yeah, i was in one of the original beta tests

it was...okay

i should give it another try when the fall patch is out (or is it out already?)

Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 10, 2009, 09:58:59 PM: It has a rough learning curve, and is not as balanced as 1943, but it's pretty damn fun. I wish you gave it another shot, because I think you only played a few times.

I started off pretty awful, but I've been consistently at the top of my squad since unlocking some proper weapons. Anti-tank mines are fun!

Post by: duckman2000 on October 10, 2009, 10:04:22 PM: Maybe if you guys played COD4. :'(
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Smooth Groove on October 10, 2009, 10:11:25 PM: I deleted COD4 off my HD a month ago. There's no point in keeping it when the soon to be released sequel is pretty much the same game but better.

We'll see, I'm keeping my expectations real low. SpecOps mode alone will be enough to make it GOTY, I'm sure.

Post by: Kestastrophe on October 10, 2009, 10:52:11 PM: I might be on sometime this weekend, idk. Possibly after the Michigan game is over tonight

I sold COD4 on ebay a few months back, got $30 or so for it :rock

Maybe if you guys played COD4. :'(

I do play CoD4 and World at War. And I'll play Modern Warfare 2, which as Viz already said, will rock so fucking hard that your wake up with a hernia.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: duckman2000 on October 10, 2009, 11:40:21 PM: I'll try and get on Bad Company tonight. I should try and get some more miles out of it since there's little resale value on Xbox 360 On Demand titles. :gloomy
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 11, 2009, 01:36:00 AM: Awesome matches. That random guy we met up with was awesome - Triumph was hysterical lobbing grenades at tanks. :lol
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Kestastrophe on October 11, 2009, 01:47:08 AM: that guy was random? I thought it was your brother lol
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 11, 2009, 01:59:09 AM: Nope, totally random. My brother usually doesn't have the patience to play.

Well, it worked at least twice. :lol

Since it was my first time playing online I just picked the assault kit not really knowing the advantages or disadvantages- the assault kit definitely doesn't have the ability to take down vehicles easily, since grenades aren't very powerful/accurate. With the unlocks I got I bought a sniper rifle and a health injector. I usually like sniping in fps games.

Also, yeah that foolproof dude was pretty cool. And kestastrophe betrayed us! :punch
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 11, 2009, 02:16:15 AM: His betrayal will be remembered for years to come.

He's getting pretty good at sniping.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Brehvolution on October 11, 2009, 12:58:52 PM: A random? He was definitely the coolest random I've ever encountered.

I had a great time while it lasted.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 11, 2009, 01:21:36 PM: Yeah, Triumph and I were playing for a bit before that or else I would've stayed around longer.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Kestastrophe on October 11, 2009, 08:36:18 PM: Anyone gonna be on tonight? I think I'll be around in a bit
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 11, 2009, 09:30:09 PM: I'll probably pop on around 10ish I'm guessing, maybe a little bit earlier. I wanna watch a little bit of the SNF game.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 11, 2009, 10:50:17 PM: Too late, we rocked it for matches. Foolproof am best honorary Boresquad member confirmed. :rock
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 11, 2009, 10:52:04 PM: Ah crap, I was gonna get some more ranks up.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Kestastrophe on October 11, 2009, 10:52:37 PM: :bow Foolproof

Those first couple of games that we had were intense. Especially the game where those guys were driving around in vehicles on the urban map. I am done for the night, sorry Cheat.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: Human Snorenado on October 11, 2009, 11:06:21 PM: It's cool, this will give me time to try and beat Saint's Row 2 tonight before I have to work on some school work.
Title: Re: Boresquad Weekend Shenanigans?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on October 11, 2009, 11:32:55 PM: Don't worry, we'll play again. I think we're all starting to learn the ropes of Bad Company - we're pretty good as a squad now.

Those first couple of matches were crazy, with those assholes driving around in the ATV spawning and dumping bogies all over our flags.
