BF:BC2 News
Been a couple updates to our server the past week or so (R15, R16, Map Packs 3&4), including that long-delayed patch I talked about last time (R15). Of course the "Map Packs" are the usual bullshit releases where it's the same tired old maps but with "new" game-types. I and many others are pretty disappointed in EA in this regard....at least ATVI did release real "new" maps for COD once in awhile. Anyway, if you've not run the client update for awhile, do so.
Also, the new "Onslaught" mode has/is releasing out to the consoles but still no news about adding that to the PC version. This would be a 4-player COOP mode something like "Survival" in L4D.
Overall I like BC2 tho' we don't play it much due to the over-large map sizes. Guess we'll see how the next COD "Black Ops" release fares in the reviews. Or maybe just go to MW2...Hock says the MP is pretty good I guess, prices should be dropping, and some of us already own it.
L4D2 News
As most of you know, the recent Steam game update for L4D2 broke the mod stuff back around July 9th. There should be updates to Sourcemod and Metamod to correct this, hopefully sometime this week. Tho' personally I kinda like the challenge of regular play...and even God needs a break from His subjects needs & demands once in awhile. ;-)
Other News
Here's some news S.W.A.T. Bucky might be interested in...a new Sniper game, "Sniper: Ghost Warrior". The demo is get'n fairly good reviews tho' the SP has it's AI flaws. Apparently there is a MP mode tho' not sure yet about dedicated server support. I plan to try out the demo this week. Might be something we could play off my home server eventually if enough interest. The game is available for purchase via Steam at a very reasonable price so if I like the demo I'll buy it...I do enjoy a decent sniper game once in awhile.
That's about it for now...until next time,
Mamba out
