If I really want to play something good online I'll usually buy it new anyway. That said I'd only ever consider borrowing Call of Duty, specifically for the competitive aspect. It's a bit of a 'bleh' point, EA effectively have this underway already.

That awkward moment when your nan takes her slippers off after a hard day of making facebook jokes cause she's a fearless bastard, lol jk she doesn't use facebook because she's a fucking top guy.

The circles thing sounds like too much hassle to bother thinking about. We do so much categorizing in our lives that I'd rather avoid it where possible.

I had around 320 FB friends a couple of weeks ago and decided to cull a ton, now only have 176, and to be quite honest I could bin a few more. It does make the news feed much more tolerable, and events are hella easier to organise. Not heard about this Google Project + malarkey.

I agree with 'Facebook' references in songs, they're a bit vulgar. I wouldn't mind if someone quoted Ronseal or other more obscure names of organisations or products, but social networking sites and the like which have become so popular as to make me grate my teeth when pointlessly shoehorned into what might or might not be a good song. There were shades of 'gingers have souls' in that video at the end and I was uncertain whether you were joking or if you'd missed the usual Rez irony.

Forgive me, please. It is almost droll in the sense that magpies continue to buy it.

But there has actually been fantastic looking BFIII footage. (not intending to be blunt)

MW3 will be utter droll. Utter, utter droll. That much was evident from the E3 footage.

What class have you opted for then?

Just think of yourself as an altruist Emerald. Makes us pr0s feel better.

^ I was going to say it's been nerfed. Only 4 shells, completely lame.

Yeah Ghost is cold-blooded, but the pro-version (invisible to aircraft) is a bit more of a bitch to unlock in Blops because the 3 challenges required for pro are a tad erksome. And by gun games do you mean Cod solely? Because I can only think of KZ3 that has an equivalent to SoH. It might well be an inconsistent Internet connection that damages your games. Rush classes are fairly self-explanatory, you'll want Lightweight (preferably pro for quicker ADS after sprinting), sleight of hand (always sleight of hand!) and marathon. Don't silence your weapons as said - use the AK74U with either extended mags or dual mag. My favourite rush class though is 'teh shotty' one. Marathon, Lightweight, steady-aim. Use the Spas silenced (doesn't sound amazing in practice and almost always takes two shots to kill but honestly it's pretty awesome - especially for maps like Summit). You can flank, hang around fairly close to short-range areas and nearby spawn locations and completely tear the opponents up, and you won't be on enemies' radar from shooting. The Spas has a fast fire rate so put your skepticism aside. Plus, you'll want to be using UAV as one of your killstreaks, always. That's what I like to do anyway. I know nothing of the map packs, I'm only borrowing the game for a long time.

I've been playing it the last couple of months online (I'm not even bothering with the campaign, I know it'll be CoD wank). I recommend Ghost (ofc), Sleight of Hand Pro is essential as quicker ADS is a deal breaker (+ reloading fast is ridiculously useful), and the third perk preferably Hacker, though that last one is more variable. As opposed to MW2, I don't silence my weapons. They nerf the guns much more in this game. So instead I recommend dual mag attachment, which gives you more starting magazines (unadvertised on the description) and it makes every other reload faster - so combined with SoH it makes reloading insane. You generally want to avoid the sub-machine guns bar the AK74U for rushing. It's well known that the FAMAS is amazingly powerful, with the Galil also being a very sturdy option. Use those to get confident. Parenthesis ftw.

^ Hence thread

See I thought a provisional took ages to get?

Since I've been 18 I've been using my passport for ID for pubs and stuff, and that needs to change before my holiday in Malia in 2 weeks time. What type of ID shall I go for that's quick and easy to obtain? I know a lot of you likely get away without ID, you old bastards. To make this something of interest (well not really) - do you think you look your age/are you happy with how young/old you appear?

I concede and take those points on board, they be true, they be true. Doesn't stop it from being irritating to play sometimes though - I know you can argue that it is thus also easier to avoid fire and stay alive but... I guess I just liked Unch2 a great deal. Need a greater understanding of boosters/of more maps to get a better picture of it all. Whether I have the perseverance is another story. As for the G-MAL, essentially it stands out as amazing because the Fal in no.2 was God-awful by comparison.

As mentioned, the movement is super-fluid. It's faster paced, generally a bit more exciting, and sprinting is a welcome addition. I just can't be fucked with all this unlock/loadout crap. Yawn. Some of the changes to the weapons they've made (i.e. 90% of them) are completely atrocious too. I don't know for instance why you'd want to use the AK over the G-Unit (forget the name) burst fire gun. Edit: G-MAL Then again I seemed to be doing crap with the AK at anything other than close-range, whilst others were pwning - is there some accuracy booster I've missed somewhere? I saw a page of 'paid boosters' which are different to standard boosters as far as I can tell, which includes stuff like multiple grenade slots and improved accuracy (I think). I might be bullshitting though. It almost feels as if the maps have become too complex - with the player movement speed, ability to sprint, the ape-shit climbing and the vaster amount of nooks and crannies, targets can be frustratingly elusive. Token 'yeah I guess it's a beta' comment. @Rez - I'm not sure how taken you'll be by it in all honesty. Your shitty donkey might give it some smack talk.

Yeah I disagree with Aimless on this - spawning on a buddy sounds fine, and it worked to some extent in Killzone, but it doesn't in this. My opinion on other aspects may change but I'm quite adamant on this point. Maybe in 2v2v2 it's passable...

The sniper in this is crap, the magnification is ridiculously high and thus renders it pointless. I will make a non-moany comment soon, still only played it for 10 minutes.

This was meant to post last night but failed: --- Just tried it. Going to hope it plays better tomorrow, it was lagging an absolute treat. Despite this I did the classic hip fire and whack technique and followed up with a double down grenade throw, at which point the system froze. I tried it once more and it froze again. The fan on my ps3 goes bat-shit over running minor things now, and this beta had the thing panting like a hound-dog who'd caught its testicle on a cactus mid-sprint. Of what little I got my mits on, I'm a bit concerned about the new direction this game looks to be taking. Presenting players with too many options and I think balance/gameplay issues may set in. We'll see after more rigorous testing. --- Looking forward to seeing what it's actually like. I think they've nerfed pistols.

I think you should just play 2, you won't want to play 2 similar sandbox's back to back, especially when Infamous' worlds aren't all too interactive and are honestly a bit drab. The sequel from my experience and from reviews would agree. @Shorty - the whole visual asset in regards to evil characters is simply to make it crystal clear - like melodramatic comic-book villains. I wouldn't criticize a superhero game for following that traditional stereotyping, but if LA Noire did... That would be a different story.

Yeah, well I can't even sign in. I'm going to try and download it despite not having a Plus membership. I'm pretending it will work. Edit: Whin. I thought people said the free PS+ trial wouldn't net the beta? But I'm downloading. Pr0
