Monday Night Combat

[Kane Knight]

It's part of the summer of arcade, but I wanted to ask straight up: Anyone buy uit? The demo seems cool, but I'm wondering if the full game's worth the fifteen bucks.

Trailer:

Gameplay (the versus mode):

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/91oQI5W93IA?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/91oQI5W93IA?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

It's a class-based TPS with some tower defense style elements, if anyone's curious and didn't click the above videos.

[Funky Fly]

I played the demo and bought it. Really like the assault. And then there's 5 other classes to boot. Gonna have fun with this. It seems like it's really accessible for a shooter. Noob friendly if you weeeeeel.

[Kane Knight]

Aren't all shooters n00b friendly?

That's the complaint I hear every time a new one comes out. :shifty:

[RoXer]

Hmmmmm

[Kane Knight]

Only played like, two games of crossfire, but it's fun as fuck. Even though my first game I had three kills and like 5 million deaths.

got to level 69 in sudden death blitz with a friend earlier. Love the Support in Blitz, seem to suck arse with it in Crossfire, though. Probably doesn't hurt that everyone on my team was a sniper.

Assassins can be a pain, but I love using the slam against 'em. Tried to kill my Gunner? Whoops! Down. I can certainly see myself playing this long term, especially since it's ablast even if you don't win.

Looks like Uber plans updates, too.

[BigDaddyCool]

I'm surprised Kane Knight likes it. Makes me slightly interested.

[Kane Knight]

It's a trap to trick you into wasting 15 bucks.

[BigDaddyCool]

Damn. I knew I should listen to Kalyx.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, you should listen to Kalyfornia Luv.

[Joey Slugs]

Buy this game! My friend's bf worked on it

[Hanso Amore]

OH SWEET

I will spend my hard earned money based solely on what your acquaintances do fora living!

[BigDaddyCool]

Hasno...just cause you like chicks with dicks, doesn't mean you have to be a dick.

[Kane Knight]

Hasno...just cause you like chicks with dicks, doesn't mean you have to be a dick.

Actually, it does. Have you seen the type of guy who's into trannies? The only way to be more fucked up is to date Rhi.

[BigDaddyCool]

Interesting, anyhow...I need a strategy guide because I don't know what everything does.

[Boomer]

I'm purchasing it when I get home from work.

[BigDaddyCool]

Good, it is fun, it takes a bit to figure out, but it is fun figuring out.

[Y2Ant]

Yeah got the demo of this, not had a chance to play it yet but it looked pretty sweet :o

[BigDaddyCool]

Ant, get it and we can shoot Kane Knight in the face.

[Y2Ant]

i'm still waiting on that co-op game of red dead where we make a duck-themed posse and rule the west.

[BigDaddyCool]

We are the Mallards, get the duck out of dodge.

[Boomer]

I really enjoyed the few rounds I played last night. I really despise tower defense, but the tower defense mode (Blitz?) was a lot of fun. I'd prefer to play it with people I know, or people who actually spoke over headset.

I think the game really struggles to let you know how your team is doing. The game has to be patched to let you look at the map of creeps. It's crazy that you can only look at it before you spawn. Other that the occasional framerate disaster, I will continue to play it when I can. Time, unfortunately, has not been on my side for gaming.

[BigDaddyCool]

Boomer, what is your gamertag?

[Boomer]

Jtboomer2

[Kane Knight]

Ant, get it and we can shoot Kane Knight in the face.

You shoot me in the face all the time...Oh, you mean in the game...

[BigDaddyCool]

Not just during our gay fun time with penises.

[Kane Knight]

Not just during our gay fun time with penises.
All he has to do is ask.

[Kane Knight]

The party system seems to do a better job of keeping you together than I've ever experienced in Red Dead Redemption. not knocking the game (Still planning on going back to it and finish the online shit), but the only time you're routinely broken up is when you join a game in progress.

Yesterday afternoon, I was playing in a party for like 5 games in a row, and we were always on the same team except for that first one in progress. Usually only play this in short bursts, but you take the point.

It was funny though. the guy who got seeded to the other team got ganked by all of us. We weren't really teaming up on him or anything...Hell, when I backstabbed him, I didn't know it was him. Oops. :D

He was brand new to the game though, and will probably be better than me by...Sunday.

[BigDaddyCool]

I like that about the game, you don't really see who you are shooting, just that you are. So it isn't really personal.

[Kane Knight]

Sometimes. I mean, the names are there, but not always and often you don't know who you're nailing or who nailed you until you're already done with the nailing process.

I kinda wonder if it's a feature or a glitch. Either way, it's probably for the better. I hate when people go for revenge and get themselves killed like ten times in other games.

[Kane Knight]

Hey BDC, you got lucky. Right after you left Azrael and I went into another game. And I'm not sure why, but everything was lagging like Hell. It robbed me of two kills (and one death) in the final count, and he found out that by the end, he was the only guy on his team. Probably all quit because of the lag. I was playing assassin and knifing the moneyball, and expecting to die any minute, because, you know, the class is made of tissue paper.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah...I played later with Ermac, and the other team was a pack of cheating assassins that found a way to hide on our respawn zone and kill you before you walked out. I had to use the gunner slam to kill one right as I walked out.

[Kane Knight]

LOL. I had that sort of thing happen once.

[Ermaximus]

Yeah...I played later with Ermac, and the other team was a pack of cheating assassins that found a way to hide on our respawn zone and kill you before you walked out. I had to use the gunner slam to kill one right as I walked out.

I did enjoy beating the shit out of the one guy with my sniper grapple though. He was a level 28 and he sent me a message after the match calling me a hacking faggot because I kept killing him while he was cloaked. Does he not realize that if you focus hard enough you can see the outline of the characters running towards you?

[BigDaddyCool]

I know right? I hate the assassins.

LOL. the ones that annoy me are the nudes who can snipe me from a map away while cloaked. The Assassin's cloak is far from perfect close range, though. Not only can you see the outline, you can also hear the sound it makes--assuming you're listening.

there are hackers in this game; Uber's acknowledged it and is working on it. But simply nailing someone who's cloaked ain't hacking. Or even glitching.

[Kane Knight]

I know right? I hate the assassins.
:(

[BigDaddyCool]

We had to be dealing with hackers when we were getting gang raped by all those support guys. Any time I see the opposite team is all the same class, I know something is up.

[BigDaddyCool]

Still I love being called a hacker or cheater because I finally win a game.

[BigDaddyCool]

So who has this game?

[Kane Knight]

Still I love being called a hacker or cheater because I finally win a game.

To be fair, you winning a match is pretty unlikely.

So who has this game?

I do. :shifty:

[BigDaddyCool]

I'm still stoked I got MVP last night.

[Ermaximus]

I'm happy my not trying as hard helped you boost your kill count big guy.

[Kane Knight]

I'm still stoked I got MVP last night.


Only because you kept sucker punching Ermaximus and myself.

[Kane Knight]

Sleeper hit of the summer!

[Ermaximus]

Only because you kept sucker punching Ermaximus and myself.

He's talking about the round it took you and me fucking forever to get that 1 damned achievements because every asshole on both our teams kept ruining it for us both.

[BigDaddyCool]

I got it not trying to do it. It helps if you are playing against newbs.

[Kane Knight]

He's talking about the round it took you and me fucking forever to get that 1 damned achievements because every asshole on both our teams kept ruining it for us both.

Including BDC. He killed you like four times.

that alone probably bumped his K/D ratio to 4:65.

[BigDaddyCool]

You mean 4:465

[Ermaximus]

Lol @ BDC calling me a newb at this game. :D

[BigDaddyCool]

No, I wasn't calling you a newb. But it is a rookie mistake to upgrade your skills outside of your base.

[Ermaximus]

No, I wasn't calling you a newb. But it is a rookie mistake to upgrade your skills outside of your base.

Lol, I know. That's why KK and I boosted that shit to get it done. Ok so, The Scramble tonight? 10 waves difficult as shit. We doing this?

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, just don't know when, but that will be fine. I'm trying to get the game points plus it is nice to change up from crossfire.

[Ermaximus]

Yeah, just don't know when, but that will be fine. I'm trying to get the game points plus it is nice to change up from crossfire.

Ok, then I am in. I don't really care much about my level, as I think rank and level means diddly shit in these kinds of games.

[BigDaddyCool]

Oh yeah...I just like to get the little gamer scores.

[Kane Knight]

No, I wasn't calling you a newb. But it is a rookie mistake to upgrade your skills outside of your base.
Yeah, but it's necessary for that Achievement.

[BigDaddyCool]

i just looked, I don't have that achievement. I too need it.

[Ermaximus]

i just looked, I don't have that achievement. I too need it.

:rofl:

[The Jayman]

played the demo to this and I might have to get it this weekend

[BigDaddyCool]

Good, then you, me, ermac and kane knight can have a sock foursome.

[Ermaximus]

Hahaha, that's a bully good idea chap.

[BigDaddyCool]

it would be awesome if you could form your own team and team name and pick a color. That would be sweet.

[Ermaximus]

So I take it we'd be called BDC and his socks? Our colors would be orange on bright orange and our motto would be "fuck them other colored fellers?"

[BigDaddyCool]

No, we would be the fighting mongooses and our colors would be the blood of our enemies.

[Ermaximus]

No, we would be the fighting mongooses and our colors would be the blood of our enemies.

As your sock I say, I'm in sir!

[BigDaddyCool]

Just saying if you are in a party of at least 3, you then you should be able to pick from a list of teams. That would be neat.

[Kane Knight]

i just looked, I don't have that achievement. I too need it.
I'd let you get it on me, but you just had to be a dick.

[Kane Knight]

So I take it we'd be called BDC and his socks? Our colors would be orange on bright orange and our motto would be "fuck them other colored fellers?"

Howabout the "Raging Benders?" It's still BDC related, but not obvious that we're all his sock.

[Ermaximus]

I'd let you get it on me, but you just had to be a dick.

:rofl: Oh looks an assassin!

[Kane Knight]

:rofl: Oh looks an assassin!

*ground pound*

FUCK!

[BigDaddyCool]

Howabout the "Raging Benders?" It's still BDC related, but not obvious that we're all his sock.
Love it
:rofl: Oh looks an assassin!

*ground pound*

FUCK!
I would apologize, if I felt bad about getting the MVP.

Ermac, I need that achivement too, we can kill each other.

[Ermaximus]

Love it



I would apologize, if I felt bad about getting the MVP.

Ermac, I need that achivement too, we can kill each other.


I don't need that 1, but I'll let you get yours, but you have to help me get my pancake achievement in the process.

[BigDaddyCool]

i can do that.

[BigDaddyCool]

This game is too fucking addictive.

[Ermaximus]

I agree BDC. It's a nice change of pace from the usual.

[BigDaddyCool]

They have done a great job on for the most part keeping it fun. No one class is over powering.

[Kane Knight]

Except Support.

And Assassin.

And Gunner.

And Tank.

And Assault.

And Sniper.

They all need a nerf.

[Funky Fly]

Don't think NerF has a 360.

[Kane Knight]

STFU Nervouse faggot.

[Kane Knight]

They already had one minor update to the game, and say a more serious patch is going through as we speak. So at least they're supporting it.

They also confirmed DLC, but no specifics, except one of the devs kind of implied maps were first.

Which is good. The maps are solid, but there's like, four or five.

[Ermaximus]

All I know KK is that last night BDC and I, along with 2 randoms, totally beasted The Scramble Blitz like it was nothing. Got a buddy online after BDC signed off and it kept putting us on opposite teams so, I got my Pancake achievement to say the very least. Don't think I lost a single game last night honestly.

[BigDaddyCool]

Except Support.

And Assassin.

And Gunner.

And Tank.

And Assault.

And Sniper.

They all need a nerf.

Those are all noob classes.

[Kane Knight]

I got shafted out of MVP. I had the most cash and was on the winning team. Previously, I was on the losing side with the most cash, which I assumed doesn't work.

Now I'm just pissed. I had the most kills on my side and I think the best K/D ratio, too, so I'm not sure what I was missing.

MVP goes to the player in game with the most points. Just kill the shit out of everything and you're set. Turrets, bots, players, fuck up all their days.

[BigDaddyCool]

Also killing the money ball helps.

[Kane Knight]

MVP goes to the player in game with the most points. Just kill the shit out of everything and you're set. Turrets, bots, players, fuck up all their days.

"points" being determined by cash, no?

And yes, I was fucking their shit up.

[Kane Knight]

Hey BDC, was it you and me who were dealing with XBox 0010 and his buddy?

I just messaged Azrael telling him I kicked Xbox's ass, and he was all "who?" So now I'm thinking it was you.

[BigDaddyCool]

It was me.

[Kane Knight]

I ganked him twice and pinned him down when he was going after my teammates. Do you have any idea how funny it is to watch a sniper try and guess where your cloaked assassin is?

If he was a team player, I would have been fucked, because someone could have flanked me. But as he wasn't, I was able to get my team's bots pushed simply by keeping the fucker off the other pros.

:D

[Ermaximus]

Damn. If I had played too, BDC and I could have both been gunners and set up in turret mode to come keep him even more fucked.

[BigDaddyCool]

Possibly. I'll be on tonight if you wanna play.

[Kane Knight]

I should be on. Az should be on, too.

Hey Max, is Scott Pilgrim any good?

[Ermaximus]

I should be on. Az should be on, too.

Hey Max, is Scott Pilgrim any good?

Very much. It's just insanely hard at first, but once you max out your level and strength, it's a breeze. 2x bionic arm + level 16=Lucas Lee dead in 4 hits on the hardest difficulty, lol.

[BigDaddyCool]

I think I like this game over other team shooters because you can clearly see the other team and I'm just getting a little tired of "realistic" looking games. I play games because I want to escape reality.

[Ermaximus]

I think I like this game over other team shooters because you can clearly see the other team and I'm just getting a little tired of "realistic" looking games. I play games because I want to escape reality.

I'd take this game over COD, GoW, and Halo any day.

[BigDaddyCool]

What about Transformers: War for Cybertron?

[Kane Knight]

Monday Night Combat. Surprise of the Summer.

Auspie Kalyx endorses it.

I don't know what any of that means, but cool.

I don't know about the "Clearly seeing the other team" part, but I agree on the "realistic" part.

It's noteven that "realistic" is bad, but when every game is mostly brown and/or full of hypermasculine icons for closet gays to imprint on, things get dull. I like the colourful characters, even if "THE WATER THAT SUPPORTS THE JETSKIIIIIIIIIIIII...IS THE SAME THAT ENGULFS IT!" Gets tiresome after the third time.

I also like the simplicity. Given the option, I'd probably make it a little more complex, but not much more, because that would kill one of the best parts of it.

What about Transformers: War for Cybertron?

I must have quoted this by mistake, but yeah, what aboot it?

[BigDaddyCool]

I was seeing if he would take MNC over WfC.

[Ermaximus]

I don't know what any of that means, but cool.


Basically, I bought 2 of the same item in the first level that maxed out my strength, and I've also maxed out Scott's level (16 is the highest you can get in the game), and playing on the hardest difficulty I beat the 2nd boss in 2 hits.

[Kane Knight]

Hey Max, BDC and I just dealt with another couple of obvious cheaters. One kept killing me in my safe zone. and I couldn't do the feedback thing because I hadn't played them. Three games in a row, no less.

one was killing us from within our base.

If you can't give feedback it's because they are hacking. Regardless if you'd played with them before or not, if you can't see their GT at all, then they are hacking.

[Kane Knight]

http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?GamerTag=cl+goblin

This is one of the guys. I can "see" his profile, but not give feedback. I can, however, report him for cheating.

Is this what you're talking about? Just wondering if we're on the same page.

That would also constitute for a hacker. Anyone who plays and you can't give them feedback at all, or can't view their gamertag at all, is indeed a hacker.

[Wehttam]

this game rules. rollin as a support more than likely

[Kane Knight]

Good to know.

[Wehttam]

you know if you need a buddy to join up with, matthew backwards is totally in

[Kane Knight]

I just added you. I did it throughthe Xbox website, so I didn't get to send a message with the friend request, but it's me.

I always misread your username as "Wettham."

[Wehttam]

terrific. i feel touched

[Kane Knight]

That;s BDC. He loves the cock.

[SukkaChump]

i love the MNC, went 123 rounds on sum sudden deaths :U but i cant find any real people to play with, add me.

my gamertag is De Nedloh if anyone is up to play this shiz

[BigDaddyCool]

you know if you need a buddy to join up with, matthew backwards is totally in

is your gamer tag wehttam? Cause I just added you if it is.

[Ermaximus]

Yea. sorry about last night guys. My shit disconnected and wouldn't load back up.

[BigDaddyCool]

It happens. Plus we were playing with a pack of cheaters.

[Ermaximus]

It happens. Plus we were playing with a pack of cheaters.

Nah. Wreakinghavoc was just a douche who only played as a sniper and he wasn't all that good anyways.

[BigDaddyCool]

I only play as gunner...

[Ermaximus]

I only play as gunner...

But you're decent as a gunner. That guy was shit and thought he was good cuz he could jump a lot. Clearly he doesn't understand that jumping while sniping typically doesn't work. It's like bunny hopping. Completely pointless.

[BigDaddyCool]

To the Monday Night Combat Community:

First of all, we want to thank you for playing Monday Night Combat and supporting Uber Entertainment. We've been busy fixing bugs, exploits and optimizing based on your feedback on our forums, emails, Facebook, and Twitter. Our first Title Update is being tested right now and then it will be handed off for certification and in your hands as soon as possible. Here's a full list of fixes and changes that will be in the Title Update.

Connectivity and Multiplayer:

* Reworked the way we handle parties in the pregame lobby to avoid splitting them up.
* Fixed several issues where host migration would fail immediately.
* Decreased wait time after a successful host migration.
* Lobbies will now host migrate and not kick you back to the main menu.
* If the host leaves during the end of match sequence, the host will migrate and players will return back to the lobby and not the main menu.
* Optimized the time it takes to migrate hosts, shortening the time to migrate.
* Improved weapon hit detection in high lag situations.
* Fixed endorsements being incorrect after a host migration.
* Fixed getting into private matches without an invite.



General Gameplay:

* Fixed players being able to damage the Moneyball’s shields.

* Reduced the amount of increased damage the Moneyball takes in Overtime, thus reducing the effectiveness of “Juice rushing”.
* Fixed Ringouts, Headshots and Grapple Kills not giving the proper amount of money.
* Balanced Ringout money to reflect the change. Message now displays correct total amount of money earned.
* New “You Win!”/”You Lose!” UI for the end of a match.
* Fixed juice benefits ending early if the player grapples during juice.

* Fixed being able to use the Heal/Hurt gun while taunting.
* Fixed some instances of the Support’s Firebase not appearing when thrown.

* Fixed Supports being able to throw their Firebases through the wall.
* Fixed Air Strikes sometimes damaging enemies under cover.
* Supports can now only Hack enemy turrets at Hack level 3.

As always, we want your feedback and we will continue to be active on our forums and Twitter.

Thank you,


Uber Team

[Ermaximus]

Thank fuck. Now if they would fix that damn bullshit with the Snipers being able to snipe thru walls....

[Kane Knight]

is your gamer tag wehttam? Cause I just added you if it is.

His GT is in the GT thread. It's not Wet Ham.

Yea. sorry about last night guys. My shit disconnected and wouldn't load back up.

We jsut blame you for everything that went wrong. It's better that way.

Thank fuck. Now if they would fix that damn bullshit with the Snipers being able to snipe thru walls....

That's next on their list. After removing the Assassin's Sprint button, increasing their grapple cooldown time, and doubling the shotgun's range.

[BigDaddyCool]

Fixed then.

[Wehttam]

i saw you playing last knight kk. i was playing with a buddy and didn't know how comfortable it would be to have our e-lives intersect so suddenly

[Kalyx triaD]

Free DLC on the way. Maybe.

[Funky Fly]

It was already confirmed that the first DLC pack is free. Like 5 posts back.

[Kalyx triaD]

Whoops. Laggin.

[Kane Knight]

i saw you playing last knight kk. i was playing with a buddy and didn't know how comfortable it would be to have our e-lives intersect so suddenly

I know how you feel. I had to think long and hard about inflicting BDC on my friends.

Free DLC on the way. Maybe.

Yeah, maybe. I mean, the devs confirmed it on their own official forum and all, but I DUNNO

[Ermaximus]

Last night was fun guys. Using that speed glitch with the Assassin is awesome! :D

[BigDaddyCool]

Maybe if didn't have everyone on ignore you would have known that. (Directed at Kalyx, not Funky).

[BigDaddyCool]

Last night was fun guys. Using that speed glitch with the Assassin is awesome! :D

I was trying it out, but I just suck to bad with assassin. I wanna get a bit better so I can get the last fucking achievement.

[Ermaximus]

I was trying it out, but I just suck to bad with assassin. I wanna get a bit better so I can get the last fucking achievement.

The grapples? Yea, the best classes to do that with are Assassin or Sniper. Just keep pressing the sprint (x button) and eventually you'll notice you're moving insanely fast and you're good. Just run up the side where nobody is, sneak attack them from behind, grapple, then run like hell. Just be careful running off ledges. That's my main problem too. Too much speed and I overestimate my space and end up running off the level.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah. I wish there was a way to play against newbs.

[Ermaximus]

Yeah. I wish there was a way to play against newbs.

Private matches against level 3's and under?

[BigDaddyCool]

How do you set those up?

[BigDaddyCool]

I mean I know how to start a private match, but how do you only invite certain levels?

[BigDaddyCool]

Nevermind, I got the 10 grapple kills with the assassin glitch.

[BigDaddyCool]

Maybe this is because it is the first time I've played online shooting games and this maybe fairly standard. But anyhow, last night I was playing for a bit, and there was this one douche bag that wouldn't stop cussing and going on about how he killed a level 6o-something while he is only a level 30-something. Like it is a huge achievement to get a kill in MNC.

Tell him to talk shit when he's number 1 on the leaderboards?

Your assumption is correct. It happens alot

[BigDaddyCool]

7 BDC post in a row :shifty:

[Ermaximus]

Now 8...

[BigDaddyCool]

Anyhow, we should get on and do some blitz, I'm a little burnt out on crossfire.

[Ermaximus]

Anyhow, we should get on and do some blitz, I'm a little burnt out on crossfire.

I'm down for a nice change of pace. Let's me play as support for once. :lol:

[BigDaddyCool]

Works for me.

[The Jayman]

count me in

[BigDaddyCool]

No.

[The Jayman]

:'(

[BigDaddyCool]

I'm just kidding, you should get on and play.

[The Jayman]

I played some of the single player last night to get a feel for it

[BigDaddyCool]

that is cool, we can teach you in a blitz.

[The Jayman]

I have only used the gunner and assault classes. Don't know which one is the best yet

[BigDaddyCool]

Gunner is my favorite.

[Ermaximus]

I play as all the classes but the tank Jayman. Mainly because the tank is shit imo.

[The Jayman]

I seemed to have done alright with the gunner. I even created a custom class with it

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, I too don't care for tank. I treat gunner as a tank and do better with him.

[The Jayman]

I might try using the assault tonight

[Ermaximus]

BDC just likes watching the gunner dance like a tard and say, "let's do this tiki style."

[The Jayman]

I like to "slam" people with my "gunner"

[BigDaddyCool]

The slam is a good move.

[BigDaddyCool]

I hope that with the updates they add new animations and taunts, tiki style is getting a little old.

[Ermaximus]

So, as much as I love the speed glitch with the assassin, it's got huge disadvantages. Mainly running so fast you run off the damned stage. :/

[The Jayman]

you were running around like a bat out of hell

[BigDaddyCool]

Well, you just need to be smarter than that.

[Ermaximus]

Well, you just need to be smarter than that.

So I should play as a gunner and only a gunner? :shifty:

[The Jayman]

worked for me :p

[BigDaddyCool]

So I should play as a gunner and only a gunner? :shifty:

No, you are a good sniper, and assassin. I'm a decent sniper, and a passable assault. I just really excel at gunner.

[Kane Knight]

Maybe if didn't have everyone on ignore you would have known that. (Directed at Kalyx, not Funky).

Yeah, but then he couldn't make his daily douchey comments about having you on ignore.

Yeah. I wish there was a way to play against newbs.

I know you got it already, but you could have done a private match if you had a second controller. Grapple your guest ten times.

I mean, I got it legit, because it's easy as shit, but you could have.

Maybe this is because it is the first time I've played online shooting games and this maybe fairly standard. But anyhow, last night I was playing for a bit, and there was this one douche bag that wouldn't stop cussing and going on about how he killed a level 6o-something while he is only a level 30-something. Like it is a huge achievement to get a kill in MNC.

Or like level means much. I'm in the 60s and I suck/

I play as all the classes but the tank Jayman. Mainly because the tank is shit imo.

I had you running from my railgun a couple times there....:D

BDC just likes watching the gunner dance like a tard and say, "let's do this tiki style."
He also loves "Sweet Wave, Brah!"

Also, I'm back online. And also, FUCK COMCAST.

[BigDaddyCool]

Holy shit, I've had nothing but rage quiter and hacker all fuck night on that game.

[Kane Knight]

I would have joined you, but with no internet for three days, I had a lot of catching up to do, both work and pleasure. I hate the fact that one of the editors I work for knew I had no internet connection, but sent me like three things to do. If she gives me shit that I didn't finish them yet, I'm going to scream.

I'll probably be back to playing tomorrow night, though. It's funny. Even if I get tired of this game after a while, or pissed at people, I keep wanting to come back.

[BigDaddyCool]

Well tomorrow night I'm going to a party at dave and busters. So I can play video games and drink beer at home, because I'll be going out to play video games and drink beer at home.

[Ermaximus]

I'll be trying to get to level 100 in GoW2 this weekend for the 25xEXP weekend. I'm about 20 levels out and then I'm down for some MNC.

[BigDaddyCool]

Well a 3 day weekend is good for killing jerks.

[The Jayman]

I'll be trying to get to level 100 in GoW2 this weekend for the 25xEXP weekend. I'm about 20 levels out and then I'm down for some MNC.

I'm up for some GoW2

[Ermaximus]

I'm up for some GoW2

It's a good weekend to get your wings bro. We can also do all the new horde dlc maps if you want? Do you have all of the All Fronts maps?

[The Jayman]

yes I do

[The Jayman]

I like playing horde more than I do multiplayer

[Ermaximus]

I like playing horde more than I do multiplayer

Ok then you want to play some horde on the all fronts maps tonight and get that shit over with?

[The Jayman]

sounds like a plan

[Kane Knight]

BDC and I came across the worst pack of cheaters ever.

I don't mean their cheating was particularly egregious, just that they really, really sucked at it.

[BigDaddyCool]

Truely, their cheating sucks donkey balls, much like Kane Knight's mama. I mean if you are going to cheat and lose then why bother cheating?

[Ermaximus]

Truely, their cheating sucks donkey balls, much like Kane Knight's mama. I mean if you are going to cheat and lose then why bother cheating?

I don't know. What's your excuse BDC?

[BigDaddyCool]

I don't cheat, I just suck money balls.

[Kane Knight]

Truely, their cheating sucks donkey balls, much like Kane Knight's mama. I mean if you are going to cheat and lose then why bother cheating?

It's not nice to call your momma a donkey.

I also don't these guys who seem to cheat only to bump their kills. I mean, you can boost your k/d ratio easily without cheating, and a lot of them seem to lose the game. Then RAEGKWIT.

I'm also starting to love SteelPeel arena, because of the number of times I've raped their base while the other team is half sniper. I mean, I'm sure good snipers are a worry, but I always seem to get the guys who fall apart when a gunner starts hosing them.

[BigDaddyCool]

I am having much more fun now that all the jerks are playing halo.

*Not everyone that plays halo is a jerk, just all the people that played like jerks are now playing halo and the game has become friendly again.

[The Jayman]

you should come play halo with us jerks

[BigDaddyCool]

No.

[Ermaximus]

you should come play halo with us jerks

Again No.

[BigDaddyCool]

I've never played halo, and just no interested.

[The Jayman]

jerks

[BigDaddyCool]

hey jerk, you're the jerk. Jerk. The Jerkman.

[The Jayman]

BigDaddyJerk is more like it

[BigDaddyCool]

More like jErkmaximus

[The Jayman]

More like jErkmaximus

I concur.

[Kane Knight]

It is fortunate that most of the fuckwads will go play the newest biggest release so they can be the biggest dick to the most people.

[BigDaddyCool]

True. I mean I think I have been playing cheaters or at least cheesy players, but they aren't very good and I end up killing them. I was on a 2 man team against 4 (guessing people dropped out). We never got anyone else on the 2 man team I got 9 kills 4 deaths before we won. The other guy on the team had like 25 kills. I'm guessing he was some how being cheap or cheating. The next game was more even and he was on the opposite team. He charged our base from the get go, and after breaking him I was finally able to attack their base. But I kept seeing him charge our base. I should mention he was a gunner.

But here is the thing, he would charge our base without killing bots or stopping to attach pros on the way. He only attack bots and pros in the base. So I started waiting for him to pass me. And killing him from behind (I was also a gunner). Then I would go back to killing other pros and bots and turrets.

[BigDaddyCool]

Title update is out now!

This calls for a celebration!


The Title Update is out now and will download next time you start up Monday Night Combat on Xbox Live. Along with a ton of fixes and gameplay balance we've increased the Trial time to 60 minutes. If you already have the Trial and have used up your 30 minutes, guess what, you get 30 more. For those of you haven't downloaded the game yet, you get a full 60 minutes of bacon goodness over Xbox Live and unlimited Local Blitz play.

Also, to celebrate this momentous occasion, follow http://twitter.com/uberent for lots of free code giveaways of full versions of Monday Night Combat for the rest of the week.



So what took so long?

Our general philosophy on Monday Night Combat is that it is a service based model of game. For a multiplayer game like ours to be successful, we need to adjust balance, fix exploits, and add new content based on feedback from our community and do it quickly. Unfortunately for the our first Title Update, which was handed off to Microsoft for certification over a month ago, got caught up in a perfect storm of software changes and tons of new games coming out. This caused our Title Update to get backlogged along with other digital titles. They tell us this won't happen again in the future so our first free DLC should be out sooner than later. We'll have announcements of what's in that DLC in the coming weeks.

List of changes and fixes in the Title Update

Trial Game
Extended trial time to 60 minutes from 30.

Connectivity and Multiplayer:
Reworked the way we handle parties in the pregame lobby to avoid splitting them up.
Fixed several issues where host migration would fail immediately.
Decreased wait time after a successful host migration.
Lobbies will now host migrate and not kick you back to the main menu.
If the host leaves during the end of match sequence, the host will migrate and players will return back to the lobby and not the main menu.
Optimized the time it takes to migrate hosts, shortening the time to migrate.
Improved weapon hit detection in high lag situations.
Fixed endorsements being incorrect after a host migration.
Fixed getting into private matches without an invite.


General Gameplay:
Fixed players being able to damage the Moneyball’s shields.
Fixed visual effects staying on the player after the effect has worn off.
Reduced the amount of increased damage the Moneyball takes in Overtime, thus reducing the effectiveness of “Juice rushing”.
Fixed Ringouts, Headshots and Grapple Kills not giving the proper amount of money. Balanced Ringout money to reflect the change. Message now displays correct total amount of money earned.
New “You Win!”/”You Lose!” UI for the end of a match.
Fixed juice benefits ending early if the player grapples during juice.
Fixed juice bar getting stuck full.
Fixed deploying on or near active jump pads.
Fixed controller sensitivity of 10 not saving.
Fixed messaging for kill streaks. Ultra and Uber streaks will now be named properly when popping up above your reticle.
Fixed an instance of the player’s skill pick UI going away unexpectedly.
Fixed an issue with bots walking by enemy turrets and bots without engaging them.
Fixed upgrading a turret that has been hacked to the opposing team.
Fixed turret collision not going away after being destroyed.
Normalized time between a grapple miss and the ability to grapple again for all grapples. The biggest change is the Assassin not having as big of a penalty for a missed grapple.
Fixed the "Team Leader" and "Team Player" highlights from being reversed.
Fixed players being able to mute themselves.
Fixed idle kicking when standing still but still looking around and/or shooting.
Fixed players who cheat and hack their profiles from being able to apply multiple gold endorsements.
Optimized main menu ticker for players with large friends lists.
Fixed HUD showing Moneyball shields as up during over time even though they are down.

Various performance optimizations.
Fixed players being able to switch weapons while in a grapple.

Supports can now only Hack enemy turrets at Hack level 3.

Fixed Assassins from being able to use her smoke bomb during a lunge.
Retuned damage done by dagger after a lunge.
Fixed Scramblers and Traps from draining the Sword and Shruiken Launcher alternate fire grapple.

[Ermaximus]

Noooo! No more super speed Assassin.

[The Jayman]

I need to start playing this game again

[BigDaddyCool]

yes, we need to get a team together and get pwned by the cheaters.

[Ermaximus]

yes, we need to get a team together and get pwned by the cheaters.

How would we lose if they've patched all the cheats?

[Kane Knight]

How would we lose if they've patched all the cheats?

They didn't.

In fact, some of the shit they say they've fixed isn't.

[Ermaximus]

They didn't.

In fact, some of the shit they say they've fixed isn't.

Hmmmm. I'll test super ninja girl out today then.

[Kane Knight]

Hmmmm. I'll test super ninja girl out today then.
That one is fixed along with any other trick that benefits Assasshole.

[Ermaximus]

That one is fixed along with any other trick that benefits Assasshole.

Well way to rain on my parade KK.

[BigDaddyCool]

Kane Knight is mad because Uber banned him from there forums. They banned me like a month ago and I just made a new account.

But to be fair, they banned him for criticizing the game and then saying they are ignoring his points, which they completely were. They rather ban people that criticize the game the people that are clearly trolls.

[Ermaximus]

Lol. What a bunch of pricks.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, i got banned originally for criticizing the game and being a bit of a douche.

[The Jayman]

Uber pricks

[BigDaddyCool]

Yep, we are finishing up the first DLC which will be free and then there will be two more paid ones after that. We'll have announcements bout the first DLC next week.

Rule 34 applies to MNC.

[Kane Knight]

Well way to rain on my parade KK.

Sorry, but they really did gimp Assassin.

The funny thing is, I can still clear bots with her, but most people are complaining she's no longer useful for it. Which is technically true, unless you KNOW UR ROLL NOOB

Yeah, I got banned. Kinda killed my interest in playing. I may still go back to the game, even get the free DLC, but I have no intent to buy anything more from Uber.

When we criticised the update, we were ignored. When we were flamed by fanboys, they were allowed to attack us. When we snarked them, we were bitched at by Uber. When I complained about that, I was banned for "trolling."

Let's keep the guys who brag about how they break the game around, though.

Also, I hate porn like that. It's so stupid. Then again, how would know know it was the Assassin without that attire?

Monday Night Combat Halloween Unmasking Part IV (Finale)

Combat fans, Part IV is full of eye candy, it’s like we’re giving you the whole bowl instead of just a handful. Now go on, but before you leave take a minute to enjoy your treats. There were tons of great ideas from the Wallpaper Contest and it was hard narrowing it down to five that worked both visually and told a story.
http://www.uberent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mnc_Support_Chess_1920-1024x576.jpg (http://www.uberent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mnc_Support_Chess_1920.jpg)
another one from Uberent.com Forum Member ”Rhineville”
“Two supports, one from either team sitting down playing a game of chess while the game rages on behind them.”


Honorable Mention


We tried to improve this idea but fell short. It’s just perfect as is and deserves to be one of the five winners.
http://uberent.com/forums/download/file.php?id=339&mode=view
from Uberent.com Forum Member ”Goose”
“I really just think you should have a Support (hotshot) riding a jetski being followed by a tank (jets blazing) a Support (Icemen with Shotty) and an Assassin coming from above. The support smiles as the other enemy pros can’t keep up. All the Icemen look pissed.”
Congrats Goose!

<address>New Features and Additions</address> The name of the free DLC 1 is “Spunky Cola Special”
