Pissed about Modern Warfare 2

[DesertRat]

Edited to correct some of the info:

My oldest son participated in the Gamestop Call of Duty" Modern Warfare 2 Tournament last night at the local Gamestop store.

Tournament Info can be found here

This is a nationwide tournament with two elimination rounds leading to the final round where the winner gets $5,000.

He took first place in our area! He now moves on to round 2 and if successful there, will go on to compete for the $5k!!

I am having a hard time killing the stupid dragon on top of the mountain top! I've already got the drake scale armor, but I want me some dragonskin!! :angry:

Maybe we need to start our own Dragon Age thread... (Lookin' at YOU Don!)

You down 'er yet? That was a hard fight for me too, I lost Alistar and Leliana (SP) half way through and had to have Wynne rez them. The first half of it's HP seemed to take forevery, then I just flew through the last half. I really enjoyed this fight even as hard as it was. I got some nice sceenshots of it too, I think. Other than this one, the first boss battle against the Ogre was exceptionally awesome as well!

Dark Scale armor? I don't believe I came across any yet. Is that found in Orzammar by chance? Oh and if you have the first set of DLC, particularly Soldiers Peak (Warrdens Keep), you get a very nice set of armor from there as well as a permanent storage place for items.

BTW what difficulty you guys playing Dragon Age on? I've been flipping btw easy and normal as need be. This game can be quite hard at times.

Been playing on normal. Right now I am a level 16 rouge. I am in the Dead Trenches and have Dark Spawn jumping me from everywhere.

Yeah, I killed that stinkin' thing! I finished the Urn of Ashes quest, then went back after getting the drake scale armor made. I fought the dragon the first time and got SPANKED. I was only a level 12 warrior at the time, so I changed up tactics. I had Alistair, Sten, myself, and Morrigan with me. I set them all on aggressive, and took control of Morrigan. Alistair kicked the bucket seconds out of the gate, and I just kept using Morrigan to cast party healing, individual healing, vulnerability hex, life drain, and cone of cold.

The vulnerability hex was awesome because massive damage was dealt by my two warriors for a few seconds, and cone of cold was excellent because it froze the dragon for a few seconds giving them time to get a few extra hits in. I bought the dragon armor and it doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing to me as the drake scale armor, but the protection is worth it.

Now, the Juggernaut Armor is a whole other ball game. That stuff looks awesome on Sten.

Yes that armor does look cool on him. I beat it by keeping myself and Sten on aggressive and I had Morrigan and Wynne both passive. Morrigan I had doing damage spells and Wynne healing spells. Kept switching party member every few minutes and having them drink a potion. Finally I jumped on the dragon and stabbed the crap out of it. I want Sten to turn on me again it was fun kicking his ass till he cried like a little biach!!!!

So, it seems I just slayed the dragon Souldog was talking about on Saturday.........here I thought that when he said "the stupid dragon on top of the mountain top" that he was talking about the one top of the little hill. It might even be considered a knoll maybe. Either way, I was on about the wrong one. I mean really who would have thought the game would have more than one Dragon??? I certainly didn't expect it.:whistling:

BTW, I just got the drakescale armor for my rouge, and found the Juggernaut as well. Too bad Alistar is too weak to wear it yet as I've been pumping him full of constitution.

This was posted on another forum I visit, it's a link to a Respec mod. Gona give it a go tonight and see how it works.

Looking at pictures counts as reading, right? And please Jon... don't make it sound like you were not impressed with Left4Dead. I seem to recall playing it with you and you were screaming like a little girl every time a zombie jumped out of a dark shadow! that means it was impressive enough to scare the crap outta you! big bad cop... pssssht! Once again I, as a firefighter, had to save your ass once more.

Dude, Jimbo, I'm gonna be buying L4D2, I've decided it!

uh huh. If you do, I will too. But dammit, you gotta get online again! I wanna hear your high pitched shrieks again...

They made Alistar too weak for a Warrior. I pumped his Str up first to give him decent armor, now I'm pumping up his Con to stop having to watch him like a hawk so he doesn't die...

Sucker goes through some health pots thats for sure. I like having him in the party though, his back story and wit are fun.

Playing a Dwarven Warrior ATM just left the DLC Warden's Keep and headed back to my home to hopefully kill my devious scheming no good Brother.

And guys stop posting spoilers

Sorry. I did not mean to let on and spoil the fact that there is more than one dragon......infact there are mutiple ones......even baby dragons......dang it I did it again. They went to great lengths to hide this fact and I just blurted it out so easy.

Just finished the game. The final battle against the Dark Spawn is pretty cool. Now I am on to Assassins Creed 2. :thumbs:

Greg I got you and Jim in my Steam Friend's List how far are you guys in Borderlands? I've got a lvl 50 Titan Brick but could start a new toon if necessary. My friends and I have been using Game Ranger to connect, the game-spy method is horrible.

Finally got the Arcane Warrior specialization last night and finished the Elves' quest chain. That was a pretty cool chain, reminded me a lot of something you would find in WoW. I'm gona respec my group tonight, as I have completely changed my playstyle since the onset of the game and I would really like to change some things up.

I have been debating on whether or not to get Dragon Age, seems like I should, what kind of PC's are you guys running it on?

I'm actually running it on an Xbox, but Wurm might be able to tell ya, I'm pretty sure he's a PC only gamer.

I FINALLY get to play DA today, as I haven't had time for a week. Withdrawals anyone??

I've not gotten Borderlands yet. Definitely plan to but probably not for another week, maybe not until after Christmas.

 

[Mizicke5273]

I've got:

Core2Duo E6400
4 GB of RAM
8800 GTS 512MB

I am running the game at 1920x1200 resolution with all the settings on max but no AA and the game runs slick as can be. It truly is a nicely optimized engine. There have been some intense fights as well and not a hint of a slow down. So if you have a fairly decent PC you will be fine.

My laptop has a Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz
4gb ram
8600m gt

I think it will run maybe not max but should be at least playable. Thanks.

Shawn,
I got the invite and accepted, as well as in game. I have a lvl 29 soldier and a 10 hunter. I also have a 35 and 22 soldier on the xbox. If I'd just play ONE I'd be done with playthrough #2 already!!!

Not had any issues with GameSpy, other than having to let the first invite timeout and resending. Most of the people I play BL on the PC with are not up to doing anything other than the default setups - they don't do things like gameranger. If it's not the in-game stuff they panic! :laugh:

 

[Wurm]

I'd have to open a bunch of ports on my router to get it to work with game-spy. which I'm not too happy about.

But I'll look into it this weekend.

Right now EQ2 is having its 5 year celebration, between that and Dragon Age Borderlands has fell to the wayside.
