  1. Nice write up Moulds. I didn't hate Ghosts but it was my least played Call of Duty with MW3 coming in next. It just didn't grab me and keep me going back for more like some of the other CODs. I probably stopped playing around December/January I think. I agree with Fes about the kill streaks. They weren't fun at all with some of them being straight up bad. I'm primary a Domination player and although I liked some of the maps a lot of them were a mess. I didn't like the multiple tier aspect of them and it seems like they just threw shit all over the place. I did not like squad points. The hit detection was great like you said. I will be getting Advanced Warfare, But it's time for a new setting, World War 2 games saturated the market like 6-7 years ago but it's time to bring it back on Next Gen consoles. I also love the Civil War idea, I've always been itching for a good Revolutionary War game too.
  2. Matt and I headed out from our police state in Northeast PA early Saturday morning with the hopes and dreams of a million children on Christmas morning. It was another awesome tournament in New York; fun set up, good venue, and great people. I was in the Anderson pool group (Ryan K, Sean B, Anthony, Patrick G & Myself). I had two Oilers/Giants matchups and one 49ers/Oilers matchup. These were teams I usually don't play with often and was pretty shaky stopping anything on defense. I was able to play my pool play game with Ryan K on stream (Cowboys/Cardinals). The stream was great, so kudos for the hard work there. My mom even tuned into the stream at some point during the day, lol. I finished 3-1 in group play and was the 11th seed in the bracket. My first game was against Derek T, he called Seahawks/Colts and i picked the Colts. I fumbled on my first drive but was able to hold for a field goal. After trading punts, I fumbled again but was able to get the ball right back on an interception right before half. I had a chance for one last play and bombed it to Bill Brooks. He JJ'd it at the 10 and juked around defenders and dove for the bottom pylon for a huge TD. Derek scored a late TD to cut the score to 21-17 but I recovered the onside kick for the win. In the round of 16, I played David T. in a Bucs/Chargers matchup which was on stream. He played a great game, eventually taking a 17-7 lead with the Chargers. I pulled off a late scoring drive to cut it to 17-14 and kicked off deep. After intercepting him in my end zone, I had a chance to win it and I went for the jugular on the first play after the INT but Testaverde overthrew Carrier and it was intercepted. It wasn't all disappointment after that because I got to hang with my good friend who lives in Astoria. We had some drinks/food, played some pool and watched several of Matt's remaining games. It was another great showing from him. Funny story, another friend of mine texted me at like 3:30 because he was watching some of the stream, I told him Matt was definitely going to win it all and he did. Congratulations! And also, thank you to all the organizers of the tournament. We appreciate all the hard work it takes to put on one of these and it's definitely one of the best. ggs
  3. I signed up and paid last night. My paypal email address is different than the email I used to sign up with though so let me know if that caused any issues.
  4. semi-finals of the NYC tournament. my opponent (tadaos) just scored to go up 20-14 with a kick off and 1 play remaining in the game. I substituted Marino for Scott Mitchell for the bomb. He was the Chiefs and rushed me. I evaded the rush and chucked it up.. Mark Clayton snagged it around midfield and zig zagged his way for the TD with drones diving everywhere as the crowd went wild. the game was being streamed but unfortunately it was lost forever due to twitch regulations. the crowd reaction can be heard at the end of this video at the same event: http://youtu.be/kt6S17utF70?t=19m3s
  5. My friend in Pittsburgh had this happen to him and he was still able to port forward the thing for Xbox live and Tecmo hosting... but it's probably a good thing to get your own modem and sheiz.
  6. The trophy wasn't in the building so I received it today, thanks guys! It looks great. Is it confirmed that the Northeast gives out the best trophies? The NYC trophies are like sick Heisman style trophies and i'm pretty sure Connecticut gives out nice trophies too. Well, on to the recap. I thought I was done early on in this tournament. In my two first games, I fumbled the opening kickoff but I battled back with good defense. I played my friend Ricardo who I came with in my first game. He's known as the infamous Iturrey in the B&G universe. He got off to an early lead after a kick return fumble and was playing well. I was able to score right before half with a bomb and out-tap to tie the game up. I eventually took the lead 21-17 and Ricardo had a chance to win it but I held him out of the end zone for the win. I picked the matchup Bengals/Chiefs(me). He was my dark horse in this tournament but I guess he was mentally fucked after losing to me as he finished 1-2. My next game was Saints/Packers(me). It was another tight game where I had to come from behind and hold off a comeback charge. It was 17-10 after a late score from me and I saftied him on the final play of the game on a called play. Tecmobo (Oklahoma on TB.org) was up next. He was a really nice guy and it was nice to meet him. He called Browns/Packers and I picked the Browns. Once again, it was a tight game. QB Browns was the difference though as I narrowly won this one too. I caught some breaks in my next game against Pete Dorsey. I called Cowboys/Cards and got the Cowboys. I took an early 7-0 lead then he fumbled right before half and I returned it like 70 yards for the touchdown. He fumbled later on too when he was attempting a comeback. Kevin (Tadaos) was up next and I called Falcons/Redskins. He picked the Skins and Rypien was TURRRRIBLLEE. He threw two jump picks and 1 INT to a linebacker. Rison did his thing stretching the field and I took this one 17-7 I think. That win put me in the Winners bracket final against Brian who beat Matt in a thrilling OT game then Tadaos in a Patriots/SeaCawks game. I called Bucs/Chargers and he picked the Chargers. I had some margin of error because Brian had to beat me twice to win it all. But once again, I got off to a bad start. Two awful runs then an INT then I had to punt on my next drive down 7-0... but, don't read this.. watch the video. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj81viG3ggQ
  7. These things also usually go much longer than expected.
  8. Sledgehammer is producing the next game that will be coming out in November.
  9. nice hat Joey! keep working with the controller, you'll get used to it.
  10. I remember downloading it at 3am on release day because I was up studying for a final. I played it all day and got rank 1 on XBL. but it was awful. i barely played it after the first day. Online play was messed up and it was never patched. **edit: I guess it wasn't "awful" but it was just so disappointing.
  11. yeah, I don't have a problem with that. shows up on 360. I like Stonehaven, reminds me of an old school MOH or COD1 map, I don't play TDM gametypes so it's alright. now Sovereign, that is an ass map.
  12. there is a mute screen in the new update that allows you to mute specific players that are blaring music in their mic..
  13. I haven't had too big of an issue with lag compensation so far. it's usually much worse at launch (especially MW3 and Black Ops 2) but the dedicated servers are definitely not being used right now. I thought the dedicated servers were only for next-gen but supposedly IW did say they were going to use them for 360/ps3. They also said quickscoping wasn't going to be possible. but it definitely works fine. they just removed the crosshair when you are hip firing a sniper. Squad points are really pissing me off. Especially with kill streaks... you'll play.. what.. 5-6 games. finally get the required squad points and the streak sucks ass. Spawns are an absolute joke. the Domination spawns make no sense whatsoever and don't follow what every COD game in the past has done.
  14. Barry Sanders. All the dude bros will mistake it for Madden 25 and you'll sell a million copies.
  15. Gats, you should have gone to the Glenside tournament. I think you would have done fine. Would have been nice to meet you too.
  16. It was a great tournament Ray, Congratulations to Matt on the victory. It was nice seeing everybody.
  17. dead zone 30 actually seems worse to me. lol
  18. I saw problems like this in the Amazon customer reviews.. if the connection isn't good between the pins of the controller and adapter, it won't work correctly. maybe try a different controller.
  19. yeah man.. Haddix has hidden stats in the game I think. I can run so fast with him.. he's the ultimate weapon in the game. He can catch, run, popcorn, play D.. anything you want.
  20. I agree. Haddix is the best running back in the game by FAR
