    Make your own achievments I say.

    Play the level with the controller up side down and beat it with in 9 minutes.

    Then reward yourself with two Starbursts.

    I propose a new Angry Dome Rule:

    Connery30 is allowed to use any weapon as long as he continues to talk on Vent.

    All in Favor?

    If you're like me, you went a picked up BC2 as soon as you got paid the Friday after its release because you were sick and fucking tired of playing MW2 and getting called a "cock gobbling faggot mother fucking rim sniffer" by eight year olds running around with noob tubes on a red bar connection. Also, if you're like me, only one of you MW2 buddies that you've been gaming with since Halo 2 went out and bought BC2. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to find 1 more person out of my entire XBL friends list who is playing BC2. Why people are still subjecting themselves to the verbal and gameplay abuse of MW2 astounds me.

    Anyway, I'm looking for only 2 more squad mates! If all your MW2 buddies remain as such, masochistically plugging away to tenth prestige, and you're looking for some decent squadmates, send me a friend request. I'm finding that playing with pugs usually leads to a loss (no surprise there) and that most people are still trying desperately to preserve the K/D ratio in spite of their W/L ratio.

    Nomad-ITA is in that list! I knew that guy hacked, he just did it in a very subtle way, but I was getting killed by him a little too much.


    Edit: With EA_Admin and DICE_Test being there, I wonder if that guy EA Battlefield is somewhere around there? :P

    I love it how those people use those names so if people call them out for hacking they just go "I'm an Admin and I'm testing out hacks so I can ban them" haha.

    They're bans from Punkbuster. So they should be banned from all PB enabled servers.

    Didn't PB implement some system way back when that assigned a unique identifier to the hardware in your system, and would ban you across all PB enabled games if you got caught hacking in just one game?

    After the exchange last night, yes.

    After Connery30 crashes his heli in the attacker base in Port Valdez, part 3, I kill him in his weakend/disoriented state. Not sure what I said, but some mild, teasing mocking.

    Connery30: Machismo, would you do me a favor? (mind you, he says everything in that awesome Sean Connery sounding voice with al the wit from the SNL impersonator)
    Random Voice: ANYTHING FOR YOU!

    The person(s) that wrote the server browser need to get some training in proper software development. Amazing how many errors are in there.
    Even the UI is screwed up when it is showing experience to next weapon or whatever, it always looks like you're close because it is either nonlinear or it scales off the right border.

    for me, angry dome being empty is like, the barometer indicating that EA servers are about to crash and burn.


    though I guess to be fair this is the point where continental US/Canada are at school/work/whatever


    the best last night was when a bunch of us were trying to get the hind(?) on valdez and in the tussle the copter got damaged, so when a squad mate and I both got in and took off, connery tried to switch to his wrench to fix the damage done but instead he swapped to his Carl G and blew off our tail rotor, causing us to crash and burn like 30 feet from the helipad :(

    I've actually found two pubs that are decent to play on. They try to keep teams balanced, and have an abundance of regulars. Its like being in a parallel universe.

    It's boss, but not as boss as the M60. Yah yah, the M60 is cheese-o-matic, but I am a terrible player. I give myself the self-imposed handicap adjustment of using the M60 without feeling much guilt. My K/D ratio is still plenty negative.
