D-38 Boss

Make sure you balance your time playing and your time doing Chores/schoolwork/other things. If you don't give your dad a reason to want to take it, he won't. You just gotta roll with it. You might not get to play as often as you'd like, but it's better than never playing at all.

A simpler time. A better time.

Not that I'm expecting it anytime soon, but do you have a general time frame for when we can get hands on the game? 'cause like... do want and stuff...

Welcome to the Forums!

Gryffin, you wouldn't be able to do a regular version of my current one for one BCAM is over, would you? Back to the green and such? Cause I like it more than my old one.

Cooool.

O3O Oooo, fancy.

Better, but there are a few things to still look out for. Any mention of the Kasara should be capitalized, it's a proper noun. There are a few points where a comma would have been a good idea. EX: "Alright Captain, all significant damages are fixed." And make sure if you are describing an Item, be sure to use the proper article. EX: A gun An Elevator. If you're not sure, say it out loud If it doesn't sound right with A, try An. Other than that, great!

I know it's been a while. I'm trying to wrap this one up. Here's a new chapter, I have two more planned, and then this should be in the history books. New Mombassa, October 21st, 2552, 2:37 AM Sector 2-A: Central Park The sound of the Warthog's engine made conversation near impossible, but that didn't bother any of its occupants. They all knew there was nothing to say. Lugo looked out over the dark of the road ahead. He knew he had to take charge, which wouldn't be hard, but motivation was never something he knew how to do. And he knew damn well his team could use a nice kick in the ass. Mathison's Body lay in the back of the jeep, covered by a thin sheet they had found. The others were all huddled around the gun. It made for an uncomfortable fit, to say the least. “So what's the call, Lugo?” Ty asked, not breaking his forward stare as he pushed the Warthog on through the decrepit city streets, the headlights Flooding the way ahead, but leaving an unnerving wall of darkness all around them. “We need to get out of the city, hell off the planet even. If we can find a base in working condition, we can get a Pelican down to us, or find our own and get out that way. Either way, it's mission failed.” “I dunno about that...” Ty said, slowing down to weave through a group of abandoned cars. “We got our objectives done. Ya know, get out the civies, recon our targets. On our end, we did our job. NavCom's the ones who screwed up, letting the carrier in, and then out again.” “Doesn't matter who messed it up, Rook... Bottom line, this is a dark day.” Ty nodded silently. “But, I need to make sure we all get home.” Lugo said, glancing back at Mathison. “For his sake.” “You know what'll happen when we get back, right?” Ty said, shooting a quick glance at Lugo before returning his eyes to the road. “Yeah. We all get shoved up the chain, and we get another rookie in.” Lugo spat in disgust. Ty didn't bother responding, opting to shift the Warthog into a higher gear as they reached a long open stretch of road, leading out of the city. The long highway seems to stretch on forever as another awkward silence overcame the five soldiers. The jeep screamed along the Highway, quickly leaving the wreckage of New Mombassa behind them. The sun had started to creep over the horizon as the Warthog sputtered to a halt in front of a UNSC Depot. “What's up? Why are we stopping?” Lugo asked. “Out of gas.” Ty said, tapping the fuel gauge. “Maybe we can find some in there.” The Depot had once been used for repairs to the UNSC's Scorpion tanks, but now it was empty, all the tanks sent out to try and stop the alien invasion, all to no avail. “Pretty convenient place to hit empty.” Lugo said as he hopped out of the Warthog. “I'm sure as hell not gonna complain. I think we've had enough bad luck.” Ty muttered, pulling his Automag from it's holster. “Looks abandoned to me, Fellas.” Waters said as he stepped up to the gate. “Alright... Logan, Rich, you guys push the 'Hog in here, and we'll fill it up.” Lugo ordered, pulling the Depot's gate open. “Kid, you're on point.” Ty crept through the gate, and glanced around. All of the maintenance bays were empty, the Scorpion's having gone into battle. “I guess we should check the supply room for a few gas cans, and then we can fill them up at one of the bays.” Lugo said. “That way we don't run out again. “Yeah. You hold here, Me and Waters'll go get the containers.” “Don't take too long. We'll gas up the jeep.” Ty and Waters walked over to the lone building in the facility. The metal front door hung off the hinges, a large dent in the center. Ty glanced over to Waters, who shrugged. “I'll wager we both know what did that.” He said with a grin. “Unfortunately, yeah. We do. Ty said as he entered the building, his pistol sweeping the room. “Was only a matter o' time, boyo. Seein' what they did to Reach? I'm surprised there's anything left here.” A loud rumbling ended their conversation. “What the...” Lugo's voice blared over the radio. “Guys! Hurry it up! Covenant Cruisers just jumped in over the city! My guess is they Ain't here for the tour!” Ty glared at Waters. “You had to f---in' say it, didn't you?” “Say what? What I say?” “Nevermind! Look for a Jerry can! We gotta get some extra fuel for the ride!” “A what now?” “Red can thing? With a handle?” Ty said as he began digging through a bin of parts. “Is that what those're called?” Water's shrugged. “You learn somethin' new everyday...” “Start f---in' looking!” Ty snapped, dumping an entire bin onto the floor. “What's the rush?” “The 'rush' is we're about a solid five minutes from being turned to glass!” Waters scratched his head for a second, and his eyes shot open wide. “Oh S---...” Lugo leaned in the doorway. “We're outta time! The 'Hog is fueled and ready to go! Let's jut get the hell away from this place.” They rushed outside, heading straight for the Warthog. “Where are we going?” Ty asked as he got back behind the wheel. “There's an airbase a few kilometers down the road. If there's a way out of here, that's it. TREC won't risk flying in an evac with that many Covies in the way.” With a roar, the Warthog's engine started, and Ty slammed down on the throttle, leaving a thick cloud of smoke behind them as they raced out of the depot.

Very nice. A few minor issues with grammar, but otherwise, it's pretty good!

At this point, that's all Sega is; A software company. Are they making crazy money? No. Are they making enough off of Merchandising to stay they're own entity? You bet. You slap Sonic on anything, and it will sell. The games may be panned at this point, but they SOLD. As it is, Sega and Nintendo are kinda falling into the back ground, with the new struggle between Sony and Microsoft going on. But will Nintendo buy out Sega? I don't think so. As it is, I'm sure there are plenty of people at Sega who still want to show Nintendo they're not out yet. If you remember, Sega's old tagline for the Genesis was; "Genesis does, what NintenDON'T." Pretty ballsy. Lots of people still want to see Sega rise from the ashes and put out a console, as almost every single one they put out was popular (It took until after it failed for the Dreamcast, but still.) Basically what I'm saying is, No. I don't think Nintendo will buy out Sega. Sega's started to realize they can branch out, and now most of their older games are available on all three systems, as well as newer ones being released on them as well. I think the Chance of that happening are at most, a little better than Microsoft buying out Sony, or vice versa.

I still think Azaxx rigged the Ballot. Something about telling me to spell my name A-Z-A-X-X when I wrote it on there. I dunno why. I think that might be why I lost. I'm no english major, but I'm pretty sure Boss has a B in it somewhere.... Great wrap up Drizzy.

I'm gonna kill Soooooo many staff members. Or not. I dunno... I'll most likely be there though. Big surprise there.

I'll be on around 12ish EST today, and Zaguroth will be on as well I think. feel free to jump on with us if you can.

Yeah.... I'll probably show up. I had planned to get a GTAV playdate going that day, but I'm not holding my breath on that... xXRC BossXx <---- DA GEETEE

Here's the thing, a lot of people over the past year or so seem to ave forgotten that you don't want to put out a really polished, functioning Beta. Beta Testing is there to find and fix problems with the game, and to stress test Servers, Maps, and Gametypes. I can't count the number of people who have said "This beta sucks, therefore the game sucks, totally not gonna buy it." While you can use the Beta to promote the game, it's better to use it to fix it, so it works when you finally release it. NOW ONTO MY OPINION OF IT! I agree with the Piloting, and the driving for that matter. Everything had been dumbed down to use the thumbsticks, but not in a fluid way like in Halo. If this is your first time with a Battlefield game, you can get used to it, no problem. but those of us who have played the others now have to relearn how to fly/drive effectively. The AK12 needs to be fixed. 'nuff said. There's a glitch where loading one shell from a shotgun takes up 6 shells. it's a coding error. When you reload any other gun, it counts Tac-reloading as dropping the current mag, so you lose the bullets in that magazine, and it subtracts a full clip from your bullet count. however, this carried over to the shotgun, and the grenade launcher in the center of the map. There's a lot of people complaining that the game doesn't look as good on Xbox as it did on PC. NO DUH. PC's gonna look better for a while yet. Maybe once the next Gen matures it'll look the same, but I doubt it. There are quite a few animation glitches, but once again, BETA. They do these to find and fix those. Over all, I feel like they have sped up game play. you die much quicker (But respawn too slowly IMO.) and run out of ammo in no time flat. As a person who plays as an Engineer exclusively, I felt punished being stuck using the MX4 Nightprowler until I unlocked something better. (PROTIP, throw this gun out the window at the first opportunity. It is the one dark mark on Beretta's track record.) I found myself running and gunning with the Pistols for most of my games (I did quite well with it actually, especially when I got the M9 ) I didn't really switch to other classes, but from watching my brother play, these are my other comments: The Support's grenade launcher needs a bit of a nerfing. I've seen many a player quit after being nailed from the top of the Sky scraper. The elevators are pretty awesome for a few reasons; They can provide a temporary escape if you're low on health and being chased, the provide a wicked tension as you go up to an enemy occupied roof top, hoping they're not watching the doors, waiting for you to arrive. (Also, I think it should play elevator music when you use them. That would be hilarious.) It takes too dang long to unlock Carbines. Too dang long. I think that's all I've got to say... I know this is a little scattered, so... yeah.

Alright, this is a little rediculous. I've played with only two members of the crew so far. This Friday, I'm hosting a crew only Lobby for the entire day. That's from 9 AM EST to whenever you guys decide we should stop (Or when I get too tired, then I'll pass host to someone else.) If you're interested, let me know, and let me know what time you'd be able to come on. Remember, it's THE WHOLE DAY. so don't worry if you have work or school or anything of the sort. I'll be on once you finish up. If not, then Omega's playdate on Saturday will be the back up. Add me if you need to: xXRC BossXx UPDATE: In light of Gryffin's playdate (At 3p.m. EST.) I most likely will be ending the playdate then. So yeah.
