News, Maps, and Welcome Ryuu!



_FFC_


Here's some recent high praise for COD4 from one of the main Halo devs...hmm..wonder if we'll see a "perk system" in the next Halo release?

Not heard much news about COD:WW lately. There's an unconfirmed list of perks circulating but I'm not going to post that since it's just rumor at this point. Release date is still set for Nov 11th.

Map-wise, MasterB and I looked at a couple new ones on Wednesday. There's a small one that has a very kewl jungle theme but the stock ambient sound track is WAY too loud. I reduced the volume by 18db and it seems about right now.

The new maps list in case you want to download early:
mp_haus - CQB house in the jungle
mp_pillar - CQB arena, good pistol map?
mp_kob_breakout - CQB/Sniper, largish so set for DM right now
mp_village_night - CQB/Sniper evening version of an old favorite

Lastly, welcome aboard to our newest player "Ryuu" (which BTW is Japanese for "Dragon", not a brand of spaghetti sauce). Hope you are having fun and keeping Hock out of trouble at work now and then. ;-)

Mamba, out
