Ok, I just bought this because of the good reviews... I should have it in a few days.

OK, got it.

'bout to eat dinner and suffer through American Idol w/ Mandi. I'll be on at 9.

 

i'm ready. where the hell you fools at? silver i didn't expect you to flake out on launch day.

 

I just went to best buy and walmart at lunch and neither of them have heard of it??? And get this, then the dude at Best Buy tells me that Blazing Angels is better... idiot... I ask him to check the computer and he says it's down right now. Whatever, I left.

 

Love the game, but hate the fact that the host (as in most Xbox Live games) can close the game when he/she starts to lose. :silvermad

Like last night with the half dead carrier we took out one of the other guy's carriers and were launching torpedo planes at his last carrier he closed it

 

Wal-mart & Target rarely get games speedily.

Don't you have an EB Games or GameStop or a game store like that near you?

 

Ya. Annoying.

And I don't know what's worse, the lost connections we had in the demo, or the odd problems were having in the real thing ... faulty mics... mysteriously empty rooms...

Hopefully that was just opening day jitters. I'm going to be really annoyed if we have the same problems tonight.

 

Surprisingly I went to EB Games last night and they only had one left. So they must have underestimated the demand for it.

 

I actually don't mind not having to listen to Jonesi

 

true, but then i have to listen to him grumble about you not being able to hear him

 

The EB I went to only had 2 copies, and they had sold out of the guide.

 

Damn, Ok, there is a Gamestop on the way home. I just had a gift card for best buy. I almost picked of Gears of War for $49.99 but I was too pissed at them.

 

Yea, my guide is coming from Amazon tomorrow.

 

It looks like the reviews are giving the PC version a slightly higher score because the game is $20 cheaper. Damn Microsoft

 

a bunch of people you know play on 360, none (ok maybe one) of us plays on the PC...

that right there makes the 360 version worth well more then $20 more then the PC version.

 

I went yesterday at 4 o'clock and got the last copy also..

 

I'll stop talking and just grunt or chew on my mic like you..

 

 

what is that infernal squelch that seeps from Silver's mic anyway... it's like he custom rigged a mic for XBL.

 

Now all I need is for smitty to come back and call me a child molestor

 

i just bought the game, i' have to figure out how to play, you guys gonna be on later?

 

username rmatic09, look for me, ima be learning on multiplayer

 

I'm trying to get the hang of this game. I was just playing a map when we had to destroy a Japanese carrier and i was in charge of the American carrier, and one pretty quick attack ship. Eventually, all i had left was my carrier, with little health, but my team managed to destroy every ship of theirs, except the carrier.

I only figured out how to send out fighters, but when im not controlling them, they tend to fly around wherever, and i could not figure out how to launch diff planes. I think ppl were leaving b/c i didnt know wtf i was doing....

o well, game is fun.

 

My wifi adapter doesn't come until Monday but I'm on a mission today to go buy the game and get used to the single player by then.

 

We need one of those "white boards" for this game.

We could have won last night against the Yamato if we did a few things differently.

I should have kept my Destroyer escort and used him as a screen against ships/aircraft.

Jonesi should have put his two BB's in formation.

And soopa should have kept his carrier out of range of the Yamato

Then jonesi sends in his two BB's and the carriers launch 6 squads of torpedo and dive bombers and then they all need to hit the Yamato at once.

 

It always sucks when I'm next to you on the map and I can't talk to you about the plan..

 

We can just use soopa to relay our messages

 

dude i set my carrier for a northern route the instant we started and didnt touch it again... it's not my fault the fucking thing turns slow as shit and the Yamato has a 2+ mile range! lol

this game is really fun. Today i sent in a Japanese destroyer (i think thats what it is, it moves very slow, but very powerful) and took out 2 carriers for the win.

Im having trouble figuring out the whole airplane system. The carriers can launch 3 diff types of planes, yet u can only control 1 of each squad?

 

anyone been playing lately?

 

Mainly single player. Finally got the guide and now understand the damge system.

 

haven't had a chance to play in a week or so. will jump on this weekend.

 

Good write-up on why I like this game.
