I'm glad the stinger works the same.. but it still looks like it has too big of range. I always had far more kills with the IGLA than the stinger because of the reticule allowing an easier lockon IMO. Now that it will require a constant lock on, it should allow helicopters a better chance at being able to break the lock. Its a shame they didn't show how the air launchers work against jets though. Damn jets better not be able to just outrun them constantly. Jet experts on the PS3 annoy the living hell out of me because they can never get shot down by the soldiers on the ground.

Another video. Not really article worthy since its mostly been covered before. But Seeing Caspian Border's antenna fall makes me wonder if this is where the idea of "levolution" came from, obviously it doesn't really change the dynamic of the map much, but I wonder if levolution events will be added to the other 3 BF3 maps in the classic map pack that will later be released.

 

Honestly I hope Wake Island doesnt make the cut for the 23432th time. That map is in every BF game, and its really not that great. Gulf of Oman is the only old school map I'd like to see back.

 

FuShe Pass wouldn't be a bad choice either

I was thinking about that Caspian Border antenna also, it could be considered their first levolution.

 

I liked Wake Island and spent a lot of time on that map.. mostly because of the vehicles available on it, tanks, attack helicopters and mobile aa. If the Mobile AA was available on any other map for the PS3 version other than on one other map only on rush mode and only while defending, I probably wouldn't have played it so much. Once Armored Kill came out and the Mobile AA was finally on more maps, I hardly played Wake Island anymore.

 

I noticed the vehicles can now get paint jobs.. I like that but at the same time I don't. I guess it'll help distinguish people tho. Hey, what tank are you in? The blue one!

I should schedule that friday off just to play the beta all day on PS3. I'm pretty certain I can get it on Oct 1st, but I'm going to assume there will be a PSN store update problem and the game wont even roll out until 7pm and then it'll have to download overnight, then connection issues.. I figure by friday the beta will be in full swing... Now I just need to prepare and clear off about 10gb or so off my ps3 for that download.

Hopefully that's cleared up on PS4. On 360 I downloaded the beta and played it immediately. Even with PS+ being paid, It will still take them a year or so to catch up IMO. They don't have the same funds starting up that Xbox 360 did from Xbox for their online service going in.

I'm thinking it was a PS3 issue. Some games seem to download fast based on my internet connection, but some games are ridiculously slow to download. Last of Us was probably the slowest digital download I've ever experienced. I don't know if its because the game was downloading from the Naughty Dog servers, maybe that was the problem. Most games download fully off PSN and then install, but there are some games that download a small install file, turn on and then download through the game.. like DC Universe, Defiance and Last of Us to name a few. I don't know if those games were downloading from their own servers or not.. but I hope they learned something from the Last of Us download bull crap.. I had to leave that game running almost 2 nights straight to finish downloading it. I'd have set it to download in the background but it would only download if the game was running. One nice thing was after it hit a certain percentage I could play the game while having it continue downloading in the background.

The biggest problem with PSN is probably their store.. There has never been a consistent timely update. When they have games available digital on the day of release, people expect to get their pre-ordered game at midnight.. but no.. they don't get the store update done until 7 or 8pm sometimes. People could just go to the store, buy the game and beat it by the time the store updated.

 

I'm going to assume they have a much better infrastructure in place for the PS4, especially considering all their claims about their Gaikai tech. That and since Sony is estimating 5 million units sold by the end of the year, they'll be experiencing a higher volume of constant users than Steam during a weekend.

I still haven't had a chance to play MGS4.. lmao, that is horrible. XD At least they gave everyone some health warnings. XD

 

That reminded me of the Harold and Kumar dvd menu.. it was the only pointless screen I ever watched on purpose. It wasn't even loading anything, it was just the menu, but I went to get something to drink and I heard them b*tching on the menu and I kept watching.

 

Found it!

 

 

Games should have install screens that are entertaining like this. XD

You definitely need to play it, its probably my favorite MGS since MGS1. Although this game doubles as a movie. A lot of the cut scenes are 30min to an hour, they do have some alternate view angles at times. The best part about them however, is you can pause them. I remember the first time i pressed start because I was pressed for time and it paused instead of skipping the whole thing I was relieved. It was my first play through and I was pissed I was having to skip it only to find out I didn't have to skip it. :P

Meryl is back in the game? I'll have to play this. I'll look for it on amazon.

 

Oh.. and seeing as this is a battlefield topic.. (so off topic now, lol).. I played some BF3 tonight to get myself ready for the BF4 beta.. I got 4 more kills with my EOD Bot. I'm at 26 kills with it now.. I might just go for a service star with it. XD

I'm sure the DLC will have new assignments. I just hope there is never a Gun Master assignment ever again. I can deal with EOD bot, but the Gun Master was way to stressful, I really dont want to go through that again. lol

I've played the hell out of BF3 and I've only played Gun Master maybe 20 times and only because it was in a map rotation. I try to avoid it at all costs. I like the Close Quarters maps, but because of the limited number of players for those maps, theres hardly any servers for them and when there are, gun master likes to rear its ugly head. -_-;

Hmm Hopefully there will be more players. On 360 I always found a Zebra Tower 24/7 300% Ticket Conquest Domination, or a rotation with CQD only. Odd that Gun Master would be in the mix. I came in 2nd on Gun Master on scrapmetal. My arm was swinging the knife for the winning kill when the screen cut to the final results. lol That was the one and only time i finished that high. I'd always get 6th place which aggravated me to no end since you had to finish top 5 for the assignment.

I think I said it wrong.. its limited players / server renters that put the CQ maps into rotation.. I'll always find a zeba tower 24/7 and a few others, but most servers are always full.. especially the official EA servers. I'll usually find maybe 1 or 2 pages of joinable servers.. nothing compared to searching for original maps on conquest.. I'll get 30 pages of servers to jump into easily. The biggest problem I have with the CQ maps is all the hundred star colonials. Hardcore no life bastards running CQ servers.. and of course the guy running the server has all of them on the same team.. I either have to go into a que on an EA server and wait 5+ mins to get started into a game, or join a server with a bunch of level 6 guys versus a team of colonials that know exactly where everyone will spawn. -_-;

Yeah finding a server that wasn't full was a bit troublesome. I put a few on my favorites list because most of the non EA servers were douchebags that had a big list of rules that mostly had "No Shotguns", but a lot of times no RPGs, C4, or the shotgun attachment for ARs. I'd generally get banned from servers like that on purpose because because I felt like they were wimps. I'd join and run around with the Spas-12 and get squad wipe pins until I was booted XD.

 

I hope EA does a better job of populating more of their servers. I only play on no limit servers, because even if you are following the rules on a "No (insert weapon/equipment)" if you're too good, or you knife the 100 star colonel, you'll get booted. I've found very few 100 star guys to be beasts gun to gun. Most of those guys got their rank from tank and jet whoring.

      I've been getting ready for spring for the last couple months and its taken up a crazy amount of my free time. We expanded our garden to be really huge last september in preparation for growing fruit and veggies. Then we decided to expand it another 6 more feet in one direction which we finally got finished last weekend. It was alot of work because our garden has an almost 6 foot tall deer fence all around it. We hammered in u-posts into the ground and attached the deer net and buried the bottom of the net so nothing will burrow under it. I should do measurements at some point to figure out its total volume. Its huge. lol.
      We have 3 apple trees, 3 cherry trees, and 1 nectarine tree in there. We still have to move 3 of those trees into their permanent locations (they are only 1 or 2 year old trees so its still possible to dig them up) and we have to plant a new apricot tree in there. I prepped the two rows for veggies last month but theres alot of weed whacking to do still and plants to move. We have 4 grape vines, 4 blueberry bushes and multiple raspberry plants to move. I started a bunch of veggies from seed and those tomatoes are still in an unused bath tub in my house with a light over them getting bigger every day. I'm looking forward to getting everything planted and done so all this gardening can give me a break.

      Well my dryer broke after about 15 years and multiple repairs I've done over those years. I had to buy a new dryer. So far so good. I was finally able to get my laundry done again and my bathroom no longer smells like dirty socks and febreeze.

      FML my pressure tank is failing for my well. Its getting replaced next week. Getting a new whole house water filter installed too along with some new valves and safety upgrades. Props to the well company employee for giving me the tip of hooking up an air compressor to the pressure tank to put some air in the bladder to get the system gimping along until the repair work is done. I miss public water. lol.

      This has been a busy summer. I'm almost looking forward to winter so I can get a break from all the lawn mowing and outside projects. Hopefully the snow blower I bought this year works good so I'll have alot of free time this winter to get caught up on things. When I've had free time I've been playing Final Fantasy X over the last 5 months and I've somehow finally hit 100 hours on it. Lol. Only took me about half a year.  I still didn't beat it yet but I'm at the end game stuff now with the monster arena and omega ruins.
