Team Fortress 2 (360) - Thursdays 20:15

[therearerules]

Rank is 5635. Score is 101. Does anybody here have Halo3?

[toonfool]

I do! I only played it for a little while when I first got my second 360 but I'd be willing to play co-op or versus.

And... In for this week.

[evilwallpaper]

in for this week.

I suspect some of you might be suffering from bad stats because TF2 isnt saving them. Make sure they are loaded by going into the options screen and it will ask where your save file is stored.

Or in my case, just bacause I'm not great

Make sure they are loaded by going into the options screen and it will ask where your save file is stored.

Yep, I was caught out by this once or twice early on. Also, on quitting the game, do so via the menu rather than telling the 360 to quit to dashboard. If you do the latter, it doesn't seem to update your stats from that round/match. I lost a mighty streak of 3 headshots as a Sniper that way.

Oh. And, er, um, in!

Oh shit, I quit that way sometimes, although it's no excuse for my stats. I don't like to think of what great runs I've thrown away.

Oh and as for Halo 3 it would be ace to play some private versus with people in a similar style to the TF2 sessions. The little I managed to play with randoms was actually quite exciting.

[therearerules]

I was thinking more Pirate Ships, which if you haven't played is one of the most fun large scale (16 player) battles ever. And in.

Right, never heard of that, so er, excellent.

And yes, in btw.

[lankysanchez]

I'd certainly be up for some Halo 3 with you guys - every time I try to play some normal matchmaking in that game, I end up with American idiots who say bad things about my Mum. Would be good to play a few games with like-minded numpties that don't just set out to humiliate every other player.

It's funny 'cos it's well observed...

Halo 3 thread.

Let's have a go at it.

[Michael J Glocks]

If the Street Fighter IV league starts tomorrow night I'll definitely be out for some of this week's games. Hopefully not all of them though.

[Ingy]

In for tomorrow, and I finally got around to checking my stats rank - 6591.

[Quest]

If there's room for someone who's only played once before and has no idea what he's doing, count me in. Tonight, right? What time?

[lankysanchez]

Yep, tonight from about 8, 8:15. You're welcome aboard

[toonfool]

20:15

[Big Gus]

I should get on at some point, maybe not for the start.

[chris on the moon]

for all my whining last week i'll probably be playing again.

for mark.

[therearerules]

I've been doing Y7 reports today and probably won't start my dinner for another 20 minutes so I may be 20 odd minutes late. BUT I WILL PLAY.

[chris on the moon]

also here is my fun screen. I'm not sure what you can gather from it.

[Quest]

I enjoyed joining you fellas tonight.

Thanks for putting up with my complete inability to play this game properly, too. I spent half the time trying to work out what each of the classes does. I must have played as that Demoman bloke for about ten minutes before I realised he has remote mines.

I'll get practicing, I promise.

[Vimster]

Ack, I quit by hitting the Guide button and then Y. Does that not save my stats?

[toonfool]

Good games last night. Pretty funny games with the randoms too.

[Vimster]

Yes, some decent games there, not too much steamrollering.

Can't have done bad last night, my rank jumped up about 4k .

[toonfool]

And not a single crash!

[toonfool]

Whoops! Just noticed today that I haven't been playing from the HDD. I had it on an old HDD and transferred it over to the new one. Apparently this means it's not valid. I will correct this mistake.

Also, I put it in high definition on a monitor. It's like a different game, graphically. The step up for text is remarkable.

[toonfool]

Myself, Vimster, moonible and electricmaze (ed) had a game on Halo Pirate Ships tonight. It was a good insight into what the game's like and it looks like a lot of fun. We need more players though, sign up to the games.

[Michael J Glocks]

If you're interested in Halo 3 custom games you need to check out Grifball, it's amazing.

There was a bit of an explanation on the TF2 blog regarding the continued delay of the 360 update. I haven't seen it posted anywhere else, so:
