KeymasterAs much as I’d love to laugh at EA on this one, they aren’t really charging for the beta, it’s just thrown in as a bonus for pre ordering.

KeymasterMerry Christmas all. Despite the snow, I made it home (just) 🙂

KeymasterSorry I missed you Max, I had an early night and only saw your message this morning. That’s me done now until after Christmas, and probably until the new year, so everyone have a good one, and I’ll see you when I get back 🙂

KeymasterAnyone about tonight for a game give me a shout. Don’t be put off by which channel I’m in on ts, half the time I’m not even in a game.

KeymasterI kinda thought this when I first saw it, but playing today it’s very clear that Chargin’ Targer is ridiculously overpowered. I hit a demo with a crit plus my 3 other rockets and he didn’t die! I suspect the nerfbat will be out soon enough.

KeymasterThis is my last day before going home for christmas (assuming that’s possible) but the snow’s stopped me getting into work today, so if anyone’s about for a game, jump on TS, IRC etc.

KeymasterDLC includes community mods, dedicated server support, and £15 extra in my pocket? That’s it, I’m won over, and getting an Xbox 🙂
To be fair to your original point though, the sooner there’s a universal system out there which everyone wants to use for gaming, the better.

KeymasterThat’s pretty much the conclusion we came to the other night. It might also be that rackage were house cleaning in preparation for TS3’s immient release.

KeymasterAs will the expanded content, community mods, dedicated server support, and the £15 extra in my wallet.

KeymasterI thought you were going for that top of the range PC because you had money to burn 🙂 £500 should get you one that’ll run most things for the next 3 years, especially if you have a monitor and peripherals already. My current one will be 5 year old come March, I’ve spent much less than £500 on it (probably around £350), and I expect it will run BC2. Spending on top of the range stuff isn’t necessary.

KeymasterYou never seemed to get to grips with the weapons though Max, for example you always played soldier with the shotgun out, ignoring the rocket launcher which is the primary weapon. I don’t know what other game’s you were into prior to bf42 but it must be confusing for a battlefield player see the rocket launcher (and other weapons) for the first time, and that to me is the crux of the problem some XDC have with TF2, and this has nothing to do with cartoon graphics.

Yea I know, and if that’s how good the console version can’t wait to see the PC version 🙂

KeymasterIf anyone’s looking for a game, don’t forget we’ve a new TS server now, with the old one’s lease apparently having run out.

KeymasterThe soldiers new main weapon isn’t as terrible as some people would have you think, because of the minicrits you get when you hit an airborne target. You might think this is difficult, and more in the realm of something the pro’s would make better use of, and that’s probably right, but because people naturally jump when fighting, air hits are a lot more frequent than I previously thought. You can tell when a soldier’s equipped with the new gun because the shot sounds gay, so just a wee tip if you’re facing someone with it, try to resist the urge to jump, unless it’s likely to be a very difficult shot for him.

KeymasterI’ve played 3 rounds of the new CTF map so far, and each one has been epic in it’s own way. So much so that I think I’ve found my new favourite map 🙂 Having the intel room so much closer to the front definitely helps things!
