RTCW : Tides of War
 

I got this game a couple days ago and cant stop playing it online. Ive played a few games with Sleazy P Martini and SSSnake and just wondered how many more of my fellow Ps2 fantasy posters had gotten into it. Its well worth it and should serve to ease my pain as I waite for Halo 2 . So how about it anyone else ?

p.s
My Gamertag is Vicious XZ84. However I changed my nickname to Vicious (Without the numbers and letters)

Yes, I play. I'm also in a clan(More like a group honestly).

Which rank are you at? I'm at 1,887 I think. I also have a couple of knife kills.

My Gamertag is DDante and my nickname on RTCW is KF Dante.

I only play it online on the pc at work( the demo levels). It's freakin'excellent one of the best multiplayer FPS so far IMO. The beach level is my favorite I love the cooperation you need to have with your teammates in order to succeed.

bah i need to get my xbox live hooked up again. then i need to rent RCTW or something because playing a team game with my ps2fantasy bud would be awesome.

my gamertag is silentjagger.

This game rocks, ive been playing it at work all the time, I would like to go live but I cant be bothered getting the starter kit, when there's more games, even though there's plenty, getting socom, that will keep me busy the mean while.:D

RTCW is THE game to play!! I've had such a blast playing with all my PS2Fantasy buds! It's so easy to find a good game too, I'm always shooting it up (well getting shot up mostly :D ) in less than 5 minutes. Ghost Recon on the other hand.....

<off topic rant>
I'm finding it really tough to find a good game online. I wait 7 minutes in the lobby just to have the host say "sorry, rooms too full" and boot me. I successfully joined 2 matches and got disconnected within 2 minutes of play.....now I don't know if it was just bad luck or if I was being booted for being a GR noob. Either way.....the online experience in GR has been disappointing.
</off topic rant>

Anyways, back to RTCW.....I'll see you all on the battlefield!! :D

To sort this out, ever XBL user from ps2 fanatsy needs to meet up at a set time, so there are no worry's, gotta agree with you sleaze, this is the game to play, it simply rules FPS! (at the moment:D)

Yeah mine too, I love it. Ive played a few other levels and so far i dont think they even compare to Beach Invasion

^Trench Toast is a great map too. I love playing that.

Ugh, I hate Trench Toast.

I prefer Depot, Ice, and Beach.

I take back what I said about Ghost Recon........Got in a match of sharpshooter today. What a blast!

sorry for OT

My ranks 1432 , whats yours ?

Dont have one.:cry:

A question/s about wolfenstein on XBL, does any one cheat, like using glithes? And whats the overall lag like? I hpoe its not a bad as UC.

I have played about 30 hours worth and have yet to notice any cheatars. And the lag is VERY minor. If you get a good dedicated server you wont experience even a bit of lag, but in other servors you may experience periods where you get some lag. Of all the console games ive played on line this one has had the least lag

Weekly: 1,061
Monthly: 579
Overall: 1,768

I'm guessing you meant weekly?

Yeah my bad that WAS weekly. But it dropped to 1900 something. Im a medic 97% of the time so its not wuite as easy to get points as say a Soldier or Lutenit. Med Packs and needles arent really weopons of mass destruction. But still, I think a good medic is worth 2 soldiers anyday.

I agree makg, the best weapon is the MP40, the shotgun is weird, somtimes if you shoot them in head they dont die.

Yes, the Shotgun is worthless.

I also think they made the pistol a little too weak. I mean, it takes like 5-6 torso shots with one of those things to put someone down. You basically just shoot wildly at them hoping to get a lucky head shot, because if you dont your screwed.

I dont care for the Venom either. I hear everyone say its the best gun in the game . I dont like being bogged down by it personally, i need mobility when im shooting.

And lastly on my list of rants The Knife. Yes, the Knife. I think alot (All) people underestimate this weapon. As a medic I tend to run out of ammo quite a bit, and when I go through all of my Hand-gun ammo im forced to break out the knife. But it didnt take long for me to realize the true power of that little peice of steel. I havent had to resort to using it much but the first time I did I killed 8 people with it in a row. I was stranded on the beach after jumping off the forward bunker and coulnt go back for ammo so I went to the water and attacked people as they were spawned (Some would call that cheap, hehe). Anyway if you get skilled with that thing and have health packs to keep you in good health, it CAN be VERY EFFECTIVE.

FYI. I changed my nickname to DR. Vicious (Sence im always a Medic)

On a team game on live, do you only get one life? Or is that what most people set it too?

I think this game is good. The single player is good. The multiplayer is good. And the X-Box live play is good. There is only 1 thing I really hate about the game.

The lag. It can get pretty damn annoying. Sometimes you can't join the game for whatever reason then when you do you get in one you get dropped after playing a couple of minutes. There has only been 1 time where I got to play in one game for over an hour and that was an 8 player game. I prefer to play with at least 12. Makes it more exciting. Granted this is the only game I have played on live but if every game is like this then live is one big rip off.

But other then that I think the game is good. I'm not a huge fan of FPS but this is one of the best I have ever played.

There is too much lag. But I suppose its to be expected. Most online games are hurt by lag. But maybe when this new internet connection thingy thats being developed thats 6,000 times faster than DSL gets around lag will be eliminated. Its a LOOOONG way down the road but a man can dream cant he !?

Not only 6,000 times faster but also 6,000 times more expensive :)

Well, actually I think the lag has gotten better. I can now stay in a game for about 10 - 15 minutes.

Damn i cant imagine paying 300,000 a month for an ISP. :laugh:

But i dont agree that the lag has gotten any better. There are alot of days where ive joined 7 different games and every one crashed within half an hour. And it wasnt me causing the crashes because there are always those games with fewer people i could stay in for ages if i wanted to. But theyre usually maps no one likes. I just dont get why this game which is broadband only can lag as much if not more than Socom which allows dial up connections. Just doesent make any sence to me

Finally, my rank went in the 3 digits. :O

Boo. Ya.

Socom was Broadband only. It's just that some people found a way around that which caused enormous lag.

Oh yeah. I Stand corrected

lag issue- its can be bad on lately becuase people have found away round too with 56k/dial up speed, trying to host 16 players UC matches, which is a sure NO!:laugh:

Got the game today, just took Midnight Club 2 back, nothing new to say on it, but whats the hardest setting on Wolfenstien?

When I get my new modem I can come on XBL.

Update here-

I got my monthly down too 282:D not bad since ive only been playing Wolfentien ONLINE since Sunday! But your overall is is very good! Whats your gamertag?
