    I’m in the same boat. I like the idea of it. I applied for the beta a while back but heatd nothing back. I mihht have another look at it when it’s out. But equally i might forget all about it. I think an open beta would work wonders for games seeing as they never seem to release demo’s anymore.

    The game is free to play anyway and will not be pay to win either. You will probably be in the minority if you pay money and all you can buy are things that you can earn anyway only slower, and visual changes such as new camoflage etc.

    The game is good, the only thing I’m not keen on is the length of time it takes to kill someone (although that could say more about my aim than anything else) and air combat, which is just shit in my opinion. The scale of it is just mind blowing though. If you compare a 16 man CoD deathmatch to a 64 player game of conquest of Caspian or firestorm or something, that’s the magnitude of difference at least between planetside 2 and BF3.

    blame Microsoft for making it behind the curve in terms of gameplay. they bought bungie just before the first was due for release and changed a lot about it. pc players were going mental at E3 in 1999 over it and then they changed everything so it worked on the xbox.

    its not a bad game but there have always been better

    As far as I was concerned, the first HALO was ground breaking. They introduced a lot of FPS standards such as a separate button for grenades (as opposed to a selectable weapon), multi person vehicle in a co-op single player (as far as I know). The Shield buffer but finite health way a lot of games run things now (like planetside). Then ofc MS bought bungie and HALO 2 was just a slightly updated version with no real new feature.

    Always had a lot of respect for the first HALO (which I actually took the time to complete on the most difficult setting which took a bit of dedication towards the end).

    And to finish off my post, I need some sort of negative comment.

    “the newest versions of HALO on gay consoles can suck my dick”.

    There we go.

    Nice, I’ve been looking forward to playing this one. The demo is good and I’ve just re-installed the original version on my phone to give it a blast again.

    I am trying to learn HTML and CSS and have been using wordpad to some success, however would prefer something that works in real time and allows me to easily “go back” so there is no danger that I will completely bugger something up or remove some of my prize code by accident!

    Anyone have any suggestions? I do have front page, but would prefer something simpler.

    Cheers

    Real men use notepad.

    But on a serious note, I use Notepad++

    It’s not a real time editor but really helps break the code down. The way I learned was by downloading templates I liked, disecting them and then using parts I liked in making my own templates.

    If you were even asking for that advice….

    Growing up, I was a massive Pro Eve fan boy. This was for good reason as it was the better game. Fifa had the money to buy the rights to player names etc, but Pro Evo (or ISS if you’re old school) was the superior game. I stopped playing console games around the time where pro evo 2 or 3 came out and I believe it was about this time that FIFA morphed into Pro Evo from a gameplay perspective. For a few years, they were difficult to tell apart and now, I hear that FIFA is the better game. I recently played FIFA 12 for the first time and it’s not a bad football game, but meh.

    Nope, didn’t get the mail, but somehow, after seeing that page, I’m less excited about the game.

    Clearly there’s no diving in that league though, out of all the excuses I think this might have justified throwing yourself to the ground. They just walk off though, after one player avoids losing his hand by about 2 seconds.

    Same incident just in slower motion.

    At least it would add some excitement to a standard round of soccer.

    You you do seem to have a knack for catching bullets with your head. On the up side you did manage to knife me a fair few times out of the blue!

    It was the only thing that kept me going. I’ve never used the REX but your video shows it in a very good light. I’ve always fancied trying the close quarters sniping gameplay that you play but never actually tried it.

    Very impressive play though, hope I’m on your team next time.

    Yeah, great video, its just a shame i feature so regularly in it. You seemed to kill me twice as much as anyone. Maybe i should just stop trying to knife people? 🙁

    Yeah i do agree that 3D spotting makes it really easy for anybody in a chopper to see and kill ground troops but it is also turned on with all the populated servers. Maybe once we’ve got a good amount of regular players we could try turning things like that off and see how it effects the server population but at the moment we need to to everthing we can to encorage people to play on it at all.

    Also, i’ve uploaded the fraps footage i capture the other night if anybodys interested. Its unedited and pretty long but also packed with glorious headshots 😈

    Cheers mate

    its before the splash screen – litterally a blank black page for a couple of minutes, then does the splash screen loading part but really slowly.

    Event viewers hows numerous critical errors for “disk” (event ID 7)

    Bad news?

    Yep, sounds like your HD is on it’s way out mate. A great excuse for and SSD. I’d backup anything you want to keep on that drive then run a checkdisk mate, but it’s likely a hardware fault.
