good game last night fellas.

cya in there!

You guys can always get New Names and start HS2 (Howard Stern 2)... Some one can HAVE elephant BOY, I have it reserved.

Then it really doesn't matter who plays on what team...but when I am signed in as Yucko, I try not to shoot my fellow HSS clan members...

I like HSS and playing with those guys because they ALL have mics/headsets and we can all hear eachother... as soon as an OUTSIDER is interjected into the game we have problems hearing 1 another and it pisses me off...

p.s. I am not the best player, you guys are just easy to shoot and kill...lol...

look out for Crack Head BOB, GARYtheRETARD, Stutterin JOHN, HOWARD STERN, ARTI, HANK, then ME.... Fred norris can be wicked and so can Beatlejuice....the rest of those are decent too... we have alot of fun rollin together...

Not to sell out ACL, but I much rather play with the HSS clan at night... I will play clan ACL afternoons, like I did yesterday..

I don't mind you playing with HSS. It just ups my ranking killing you guys I got my wings last night. Hopefully I'll keep mine longer than you did. I was up to 26,xxx last night.

I might actually take "elephant BOY" it'd be fun to play with a clan that knows what you all are doing. I noticed that each individual really isn't that great alone, but putting 4 or 5 of you guys together is like unstopable.

YOU ALL PLAYED TILL 5:30!?!

I called in sick today. HAHA... and I only was up till 1:30. I actually do have a cold, so it wasn't all a lie.

Smitty

Our roster is full... you can take elephant boy and make clan {HS2}... i will give you the password...

Make sure you find us tonight and we will discuss it...

Little do you know since you only ran with us 1 or 2 times, we do indeed run outstanding in numbers, but we all have been known to drop the other team when the numbers are not in our favor....

Smitty

danny25

i know, you guys are real cool about that. I just figured I should be over there to even things up.

But i gotta take a socom break for a day or 2. After you all royaly kicked my ass Wed. night, I haven't been able to play for shit.

cls858

those were good games we played last night. by the time we was finished i was so faded. i put down the headset and passed out on the couch. my wife was pissed. and i kept dreaming about socom shit. thats scary.

Chaptorial

Did they reset the rankings yet?

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

negative

Chaptorial

Were they going to?

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

It is a rumor I've heard for 2 months now.


I don't want them to though, I'm up to 17,xxx

soopa

fuck i kicked ass last night! hah... bout time i had a winning streak.

my ranking is all over place last few days, i went from two white bars... to star... back to butter bar... then back to star in 48 hours. wtf


anyway... back to it today...

Ted

Does anyone have the game beaten as admiral and have everything unlocked, etc?

Silver™

When you reach Admiral on single player you supposedly get the OICW and unlock Feral.

OICW

Chaptorial

Played pretty well yesterday. Still holding as a Lt. Cmdr.

Chaptorial

BTW when you guys play what view do you usually use?

I always like the over the shoulder view the best.

Python2121

first person

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

Always 3rd person when I'm running around. Sometimes you gotta switch to 1st person when you are looking through windows, etc.

The rank is holding strong at 17,xxx. 'bout to go play right now.

mrsteve

The ranking system is HORSESHIT!

I had a few bad rounds the past 2 days. And by bad I mean ones where I had more deaths than kills, but like 8/9 or 6/7. Nothing drastic. The problem was every team I got on SUCKED! Nothing but Newbies! I went from 17,xxx to 75,xxx!!! What the hell!

I give up. To hell with SOCOM's ranking system

Jonesi

I agree.. I was on a team where 3 straight games we won 6-0 and the 4th I had MVP with a ton of points.. I dropped from 28,000 to 46,000... My stats are great but not my ranking..

soopa

on the socom forums there seems to be alot of suspicion that the ranking system has changed in the past few days.

it seemed before that everybody was a captain or whatever..


then all the sudden alot of people got wings... and alot of people dropped down as far as ensign. makes no sense...

brian6speed

iTrader: (5)

I got this game, but have been playing my xbox online games lately only. maybe ill start playin socom 2 again.

soopa

ah... i just read on anohter site that it was already pre planned that on Jan 1st they were changing the ranking system and resetting everyones rank

Chaptorial

Thats what i always thought.

I'm holding my own as a Lt. Cmdr. but if i was to drop down to an Ensign i wouldn't care. I always play in the US East rooms anyway.

My rank was never "reset" though. I was always consistantly in the 25,xxx to 15,xxx. Now I'm around 75,xxx. My brother hasn't played the game for almost 2 weeks. His rank only changed 5,xxx. I think the system is just too complicated and there are too many players for the ranking system to keep track of it all.

2001CL

Ok i just bought the game today,

So for online i need and adapter and a headset i guess.

Give me a week and i'll be joining you feelas, any suggestion on cheapest place to aquire the equipment?

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

Best buy has both items for around $40 each.



GOD DAMN ranking system again tonight! I had 3 MVP's and only one game where I was dead more that killing 3/7 Now i've dropped to 100,xxx


Smitty I was trying to get you to add me to your friends so I could play in Drunk and Angry tonight. I couldn't find the room otherwise.

GOOSE

Hey guys, the manual for the network adapter for PS2 says I need either a 100Base-TX cable or a 10Base-T cable.

I just bought a Belkin FastCAT 5e Networking cable good for 350 MHz+. Will it work?

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

You just need a standard ethernet cable. Nothing fancy.

GOOSE

So is that a "yes"?

danny25

yes

2001CL

so i'm looking at another 80$, is that my cheapest option??

danny25

i got the headset for $30, so... $70.

soopa

i was at the sony outlet the other day and they had headsets for $12.



anyway.... back to work today and suffering extreme withdrawl

Smitty

I am always on in the evenings... add me anytime.. i always check it before I sign off for the night...

Hope I hold onto my wings..

FYI, when you shoot the guys who HAVE WINGS.. (the Captains), your ranking jumps SKY high!!!!!.. I was 35,xxx something.. played against a couple of captains, shot a few, but still lost the game... I jumped to 22,xxx and got my CAPTAIN status...LOL..

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

I am beyond furious with the ranking system. I played with my brother's clan last night against another clan. I whopped ass on the 1st two maps. MVP both times. Second map not as good but I dropped from 75,xxx to 99,xxx.

soopa

who cares about ranking anyway


other than my icon, i never look at my actual numerical ranking.


would be nice to not drop to a butter bar occasionally though.

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

I'm gonna be back on tonight around 8. I'll be looking for the Drunk and Angry room Scott and Smitty

ferizzo

Are you guys still playing on a regular basis? I should have my adaptor and headset in a couple of days so I should be ready to go by the weekend! My buddy should be sending me the shit today so hopefully I have it by Thursday (I'm off Friday so I can play all night). I'll probably have the same username as here so (ferizzo).

soopa

ya a whole bunch of us played last night...

i dropped down to fuckin butter bar again cuz my controller was fucked and i had to abort a game and reboot. damnit

fun games tho...
