David Hingtgen Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I've been annoyed by the number of total noobs on AC6. They have NO achievements (and you get 1 just for playing the prologue mission---how hard is it to shoot down a B-52?) and pick like an A-10 with Mavericks for a 4-on-4 dogfight. I just think "please don't be on my team, please don't be on my team". Of course they just get shot down and never shoot anyone else down, making it harder for everyone else on their team to win. I'm not some AC6 elitist, but c'mon--at least pick a FIGHTER plane and AIR TO AIR weaponry when you're playing with other people in a pure air-to-air mission.
yellowlightman Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I still haven't posted my GamerTag, it's Crocodilopolis. I'm definitely down for some Halo 3, just let me know when.
CoryHolmes Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I'd be down for some Halo 3. Gamertag: Coocoocola. Man, has anyone else been playing way too much Halo 3 since it came out? I decided yesterday to severely cut back to a max of twice a week. It's been taking up so much of my time. I probably played way too much in the way of Call of Duty 2 and Gears of War, so these days I'm trying to alternate between games so I stay fresh.Been mixing it up with Halo 3, Ace Combat 6, and GHIII and a few others. Right now I'm using Halo3 to fill up time until Mass Effect comes out. That game is going to consume many, many more hours of my life than is recommeneded by the Surgeon General.
Ishimaru Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I find that if I don't play for a couple of days I get rusty and loose even more games. I know same here, after you get back you lose interest to continue playing and it just messes you up.
Apollo Leader Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Sorry I couldn't make it on tonight. It's well past 1:00 now as it is and I'm bushed. Here's an idea... how about 11:00 PM Central Sunday - Saturday should be a time for us Macross World guys to meet up on XBL? Through this upcoming Friday night we'll do Halo 3. Tomorrow night and Wednesday night will work best for me to be on. This Saturday and Sunday night at 11:00 we'll do Ace Combat 6. Next week we'll do Halo 3 again. What does everyone think? I think just designating an approximate time for each night is going to be the best solution with our varied lives. Of course when the opportunities come up to play at other times, I'm game too.
Apollo Leader Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 yellowlightman is now on the list! Looks like it's time for a new 360 thread! Downloaded Rush'n Attack last night. Nice to have the flame thrower that was absent in the NES version. And as a few have suggested below, I am going to start a master list of everyone on macross World who is on Xbox Live. I'll update the list as more post to this thread. The name on the left will be Macross World ID's while names on the right will be their Live alias: Apollo Leader - Apollo Leader Chowser - Sarge051 Mechafan - TechGhostR6 BoBe-Patt - bobe patt Sephiroth - Sephiroth017 MilkManX - MilkManX Dante74 - Lorenzo74 David Hingtgen - Xenogears Id Valkyrie - Valkyrie2036 Axelay - Silent Scope EX JsARCLIGHT - JsARCLIGHT Oihan (Oyan) - Ashmedai Alpha OTS - Qaztab Fort Max - Angst O Tron mikeszekely - Pharaohman eugimon - eugimon Mechafan - TechGhostR6 VT 1010 - ROU21 Beltane70 - Beltane0070 Ishimaru - Ryvann danth - Coocoocola yellowlightman - Crocodilopolis
wolfx Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Xbox re-deathed while watching a DVD on it. Sigh.
TheLoneWolf Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Was going to post this in the SFIV thread, but since it's technically for the 360... Allegedly, one of the guys working on SSF2 HD had his computer broken into and some of the character art was leaked onto the web. I can't verify that these are legit, but the tiles and comments lead me to believe so.
Apollo Leader Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 I wonder if the purple areas are suppose to be the hit detection zones? It's funny that 16 years after the original Street Fighter II we are getting another incarnation of one of the greatest video games ever made.
TheLoneWolf Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Capcom is now distributing the "leaked" artwork on their official site along with a commentary. It looks like redrawing the sprites isn't as easy as it sounds. Still, this a good marketing move on Capcom's part. http://blog.capcom.com/archives/544

Apollo Leader Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 Anybody else picking up Call of Duty 4? It is looking pretty sweet and getting rave reviews. Will be getting mine later this afternoon.
TheLoneWolf Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 It's for both PSN and XBOX Live. Nice! Time to put the PS3 dpad to work!
myk Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Anybody else picking up Call of Duty 4? It is looking pretty sweet and getting rave reviews. Will be getting mine later this afternoon. Yeah I'm thinking about picking it up as well, although I can't decide which version to get...
Dante74 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Anybody else picking up Call of Duty 4? It is looking pretty sweet and getting rave reviews. Will be getting mine later this afternoon. I'll get Assassin's Creed next week and Mass Effect after that. I won't have time to play CoD 4 for at least two months so I figured I'd get it early next year.

I won't have time to play CoD 4 for at least two months so I figured I'd get it early next year. Got to admitt that this has been a great time to own an Xbox 360. Lots of very awesome games out this fall.
JB0 Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I wonder if the purple areas are suppose to be the hit detection zones? Seems like it comes WAY too far out for that. Especially the back of Cammy's ponytail. 1 pixel in and there's an entire tile of hit? Hit detection wasn't restricted to whole tiles even back in the Atari era. We've ALWAYS been able to clip it to just the visible part of the sprite. If they're restricted to 64*64 tiles for hit detection, it's not only a HUGE step backwards, but gonna lead to a REALLY ugly-playing fighter. That color is a traditional transparency indicator. I'm betting it's just "this part of this tile is transparent" and hit detection is FAR closer to the actual sprite outlines(actually, I'd bet it IS the sprite outlines in most cases). It's funny that 16 years after the original Street Fighter II we are getting another incarnation of one of the greatest video games ever made. There's a new Roadblasters coming out? Why didn't anyone tell me?
Ishimaru Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Got to admitt that this has been a great time to own an Xbox 360. Lots of very awesome games out this fall. And yet I have no monies to purchase them. T_T

Chowser Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Cool! I'm in, if someone sees Sarge051 is now signed in, send me an invite after you guys finish the current round. I'll wait for it.
Ishimaru Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Anyone know what time this would be Pacific? I'm too lazy to check...
Dante74 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Anyone know what time this would be Pacific? I'm too lazy to check... LOL! And while you're at it, please post the time for western Europe too.
Apollo Leader Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 So who else has gotten Call of Duty 4 so far? As for times today (Friday the 9th) I plan on firing up COD4 for about an hour after I get off work. I might be back on at 11:00 or 12:00 (central) to play some Halo 3. Tomorrow night I will probably be on playing Ace Combat 6 with David again. Sunday, I'll try to be sometime in the evening (including 11:00). But just say that 11:00 central/12:00 eastern at night should be the time that Macross Worlders should focus on looking for each other to play, regardless the game.
eugimon Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 love to join you guys but I'll be trying to put the baby to sleep around that time.
Mechafan Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I have not gotten COD4 yet. After work I normaly play 11:00pm EST to whenever. HALO 3, GRAW 2, Rainbow Six Vegas, Gears of War, Marvel Ultimate Aliance, etc.
David Hingtgen Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 10 or so days until Mass Effect comes out. And just a warning---I will personally ban anyone that posts spoilers about it, starting now. That includes "first hour" spoilers and "stuff every review/site has already mentioned".
eugimon Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 apparantly some K-marts have begun selling Mass Effect early.
David Hingtgen Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Whoa, that's one heck of a street date breaking. I might have to go look. (I can always cancel the pre-order, or trade in the other copy, etc) ::edit:: Over at the official site there's all the info. One specific store in Virginia, they got a call from MS and Bioware very shortly afterwards, and only a handful of people got it if that (only one confirmed sale--though a few on ebay). Though it's really pointless to get a copy on ebay----it'll cost way more to start with, and unless you pay for uber-fast shipping (even more money) you're only going to get it like 48 hours before the other people. 100+ bucks for 2 days? Not worth it at all. PS---because of this Bioware also announced an immediate no-spoilers policy, especially for those who got the game early and want to talk about it. Total site ban if you get caught, not just the ME forum.
yellowlightman Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Picked up CoD4 on a whim last night. Had to settle for the Limited Edition, which really wasn't worth the extra $15, but I wanted the game then and there. Haven't touched multiplayer yet but the singleplayer is AWESOME. One of the best games I've played this year, and at least for single player its a lot better than Halo 3.

One of the best games I've played this year, and at least for single player its a lot better than Halo 3. A friend of mine picked it up, and I played the first mission (not counting the training course bit). You can definitely tell an Infinity Ward Call of Duty from a Treyarch. CoD3, despite looking and playing identically to CoD2, was kind of dull IMHO. But (without giving any spoilers away), CoD4 felt more like CoD2 despite the difference in setting. Infinity Ward has a knack for well-executed "Oh crap!" moments that go a long way toward getting your adrenaline going and really drawing you into the experience. After he finishes it, I'm going to buy it off him.

David Hingtgen Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 If you prefer I could ask Roy to do it.
