Monday Night Combat
 

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.

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

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.

Aren't all shooters n00b friendly?

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

Hmmmmm

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.

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

Yeah, you should listen to Kalyfornia Luv.

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

OH SWEET

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

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.

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

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.

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

All he has to do is ask.

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.

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.

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.

LOL. I had that sort of thing happen once.

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?

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.

:(

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

I do. :shifty:
