    We’ll be 16 next month, or at least it’ll be 16 years since XDC became a tag for people, so given this is an important moment what would you like to do for it? We tried a few games last year but had a bit of a skill gap and plus chose maybe too many niche games, but that was me doing my best so over to you lot this time (I’ll save my shit ideas for 20 years old).

    Also, as a side note, did Paddy really leave us just before we turned 16 or is he just playing up to that joke?

    Damn you for working a paddy joke in right at the end, the whole time I was reading your text I was thinking of appropriate paddy jokes.

    Anyway, BF42 is a good idea, although I’ve never played it I’m pretty sure it’s available for free on Origin *shudders*.

    We could also look at game that have been most popular among us such as:

    BFBC2
    BF3
    L4D2

    Alternatively we could look at a cheap game that people could buy to play such as… ROCKET LEAGUE.

    Or something.

    Also, we could just tell Paddy we are still under 16, he may come back.

    Maybe Occa, but I’m still recovering from a broken arm and it’s still quite painful for me in fps games. Come end of October though I should be much better.

    Afternoon chaps!

    Just wanted to say congrats on hitting such a huge milestone. I remember you guys from back in the 1942 days and obviously more recently played quite a lot with you on BF3/BF4. Glad to see you’re still going strong 16 years later.

    Here’s to sixteen more!

    Na I decided to get fit, lose weight etc over the summer so started cycling to work. First night coming home after first day in office and I think a joint in the frame failed and sent me flying onto my elbow, at full speed 🙂 That was in early July and still don’t have full use of it yet.

    Thanks Shafto, and good to see you 🙂 The rats can’t be much younger.

    Yeah that’s true, although I think all of the old timers of the clan world are suffering a bit now. Down to the last few stalwarts which is a shame. If you guys do arrange a 1942 game then I’d love to play if it’s not members-only 🙂 I’m sure one or two other Rats might be tempted as a one off as well.

    By the way, is PS2 worth a go? I’ve just got back into BF4 but there aren’t too many familiar faces playing so I’m often on my billy which makes squadplay a bit difficult. What’s PS2 like if you’re playing solo?

    I’ll have to see if bf42 is even possible once work dies down a bit because with the gamespy shutdown not long ago it might be difficult to get a server. I think paddy and I looked into a while ago and saw a possible solution though so if it’s on the cards I’ll let you know, you are of course more than welcome to join us, as is anyone else from the rats (I’ll probably mention it to Milo and Bluesnake via steam if we’re doing it too).

    Solo in PS2 is different from BF4 and that is probably what makes it so difficult for a lot of people to get into it, however I played it solo for ages before this lot around here were finally got into it, so I can certainly help you with that. The game excels in a squad though, even with just two people, so long as you’re reasonably good at shooters. It also kinda depends on you a bit because different people like different things in the game. To take myself as an example in all the BF games my favourite moments were the times you’d turn up at a flag and kill a squad solo, or defend against several waves, or just taking out that tiger tank who had me cornered in BF42 (good times :)), so in PS2 my playstyle is based on that, and I’ll just look for fights where I can take on several people at once. On the other hand there are lots of solo players in the game who just like to turn up at a massive fight and rake in the kills, without often much thought for the objective. I like a mix of both, and it’s even better with an XDC squad just trying to compete for an objective against as many people as we can take on 🙂 If you’re interested just shout on steam (I think you’re still on my steam list) and I’ll show you around the game and help you through the initial learning curve. Here’s a little taster of the sort of thing we normally do in the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrYfjZhgMjA

    I’d be willing to give it a go but I’ve been put off up until now by a low review score. If you want a game though just give me a shout on TS or something.
