Blotto · Post by **Blotto** » 21 Nov 2006 11:20 am

there's a few guys at 'The Lobby' who have organised a 2 hour session of WAR for COD3 on wednesday night...

we should all pull together to get a 24 player game going.... I think they 10 already... would be good to get a 24 player local game going.....

any takers?

I've got both sets of guys on my friends list so i can do the invites etc... (you guys probably know all of em anyway)

Says 9PM EST.
I'm in for this, though I have soccer on tonight, not sure what time... will have to fit it in around that.

PS - I suck at this game.

Yes, you're right. Bloody daylight savings. Can someone please clarify the start time of this.

I'll be able to make this.

lestat · Post by **lestat** » 22 Nov 2006 02:17 pm

I can't make it tonight unfortunately.

I'll be home from soccer in time for this.

I played some MP today, and the lag can be a bit of a pain (that's my excuse for being crap damnit). I jumped in the passenger seat of a truck with another player, and it was crazy.. the truck was going all over the place. Not long after I saw someone hop into an invisible car and drive off. It may or may not have been the German version of Wonder-woman.. unconfirmed as yet.

For anyone wondering about the timing, the original thread is here which says 8pm EST and 9pm EDST.

Yeah, so this didn't go as well as it could have. It seems that many people from GR were having troubles connecting - not that surprising given the reputation COD3 seems to be getting as needing fairly specific router settings for some people. Luckily I haven't had any problems with my router since my first PGR3 night when I had to update the firmware.

A couple of us set up our own public game which was going swimmingly until a Yank joined and immediately started calling everyone niggers and fags. That was the end of lestat and Juz in short order...

That's a bugger...but as there's been this,GOW and the Vegas demo all in around a week I think it'll take time for the dust to settle before the numbers are there for large matches.

Vegas on the other hand will be big right off.It's the first real R6 game in years and the first for 360.

COD3 will be better in a month or two,when everyone has it or they see the light and trade cod2 for 3.

It really is a sensational game that'll be overshadowed by GOW and Vegas for a little while,but it'll still come into it's own light later.

I'll see you all in a month then. I'm not getting vegas.

I didnt hear the Yank knob get on, I think I just quit out at the right moment. Was that the War game on the dam level where I went 23-8 and almost singlehandedly won the game with my .30 cal?

I did manage to join the big game twice but both times it crashed on the loading screen when I tried to swap class mid game. So I gave that up and jumped back on djbigk's game of CTF where I went 23-18 and got 3 flag saves and 2 flag gets including the win

Good one Juzz....

I actually left that game, and then rejoined the game that you were in.. and thankfully was on your awe-inspiringly good winning Allied side.

I got into the big game a couple of times, most of the times it would just have the black loading screen and that's it. Once it actually loaded me on the map.. I tried to get in a truck and nothing happened... then about 10 seconds later I was in the truck, and driving.. the rest of the truck was full, and I'll sure the other were wondering what was wrong with me... I crashed the truck and it was blown up.. I died, and it went back to the black loading screen. ARGH! For the record the game only showed up as one/two stars for the connection quality for me, did others have the same issue? If we have another of these I wouldn't mind hosting. When I was hosting I set it for 16 private players and 8 randoms.. the randoms just happened to be obnoxious yanks.. I can't really make out what peoiple say online, because I don't have a headset, and there's too much coming through the speakers... though i did hear Juzz saying fucking bullshit a couple of times (50,000)

Yeah i hadn't planned on getting on because i had to do late night testing with the korean markets from home. But yeah had a lot of connection issues, not sure why i think it might of been my net connection or something. But yeah finally got a game going and then i had to bail. We'll have to try again, i suspect the game needs a patch to rectify some of these connection issues.

Kreghor · Post by **Kreghor** » 23 Nov 2006 10:14 am

I had major connection issues with it last night....

Never had any before. I corrected the router to ensure that the 360 sits outside the firewall....

It was a strange issue, as I could create a server & join other random ones fine.... Maybe it was an issue with the host?

That's what I was thinking considering I have had no problems at all previously.

Hercy · Post by **Hercy** » 23 Nov 2006 01:02 pm

I couldn't work out how to see who the host was while in-game. Maybe because COD3 can reassign the host on the fly, unlike most games where everyone will be kicked out if the host drops.
