Wanna get together for some games?

[ThePigster]

Last time I looked for a game on UC2, the only server was Snoogans' dedi and nobody was in it. I've been on GoW religiously since it came out, but it's no UC2 that's for sure. I don't know if anyone here still has UC2 or an Xbox1, but I thought maybe if people do, we could organize some games for a few hours on a weekend during Christmas break or something. Nothing really competative, just people hanging out and playing. Even though I'm a survival nut, I think it'd be best to play DM, TDU, and maybe some CTF, all maps, no mutators, no bots.(We could play survival though, if you people want to)

Also, anyone know if it's possible to recover a 360 xbl gold account on the Xbox1? I'll get a prepaid credit card if I need to, but I'd like to know before I do. Otherwise, I'll be playing on my roommates xbl account. Thanx.

Edit: forgot to add that if anyone want's to play GoW with me, send an FR to Hennessey Venom

[fenix1729]

Last time I checked, there were a few noobs(new people) playing.

[ThePigster]

noobs(new people)

lol


Maybe I'll go online again and see what's up, but a few months ago I was online alot and I'd say that 80% of people were either whining about something cheap I was doing, or booting me. And I know snoog's server is decent. I just want to play with some UC2 vets a bit.

[ez_jamin]

All the vets are long gone m8

[ThePigster]

I'm still here.......

[ez_jamin]

oooo... 1 person, have fun with your matches.

I'm just curious, as I mean no disrespect... but why do you even bother lingering around in these forums for a game that you obviously no longer care for?

Anyhow, Pigster - I'm definitely down for some games soon.

Actually, I fired-up UC2 earlier today for a few rounds and well... I suck cahones. My skill is still there, but I'm just super rusty - as I've only played a few times with the past two months. Fenix and ATR Outlaw were putting the smack down on me. (sigh)

I just can't hang with these guys. All they need is one perfectly placed three-rocket shot and it's all over. I've been seriously contemplating on making a comeback to this game, but I'm afraid the dedication needed for this to happen, just isn't there.

Maybe one day I'll feel the itch again, but I also can't force myself into something that doesn't quite feel right either. Some people have the tolerance to play this game everyday for hours on end and I'm apparently not one of those individuals.

I do care for the game. Infact i would most likely still be playing it if i hadn't sold my xbox and if tug and shock were still playing... but their not.

You see theres also this other problem with this game. ITS DEAD!
I only come here for old times sake only.

Hey it's cool... I'm not trying to start beef with ya by any means. It's just that the UC2 community has seen it's fair share of negativity since its inception. Believe me, I've helped contribute to this epidemic myself countless times.

However, I still love love this game too and will continuously make an effort to spark some life into our community... even if only for old times sake. This obviously DEAD game still deserves a little respect - especially considering we've all spent a nice little chunk of our lives fraggin' each other.

It's true that most people have left... although some still stick around... yet, new faces arrive everyday. Hey, it's definitely better nothing. Unfortunately this game just never quite took off and developed a strong following - other than a select few of course.

Gamers are definitely unique people.

After all, they always crave innovation and new dynamic elements to their interactive experience. Yet, they'll gladly overlook a game like UC2 in favor of the next cookie-cutter FPS. Heck, even look at Gears of War... which happens to be an incredible title that deserves its praises. However, it doesn't really have the lasting appeal or skill which UC2 touts.

[Flaksmack22]

I still play maybe during the christmas season we can get togehther a couple of games im not sure tho all my grades gotta be As and Bs

[hypnotic]

uc2 was a good game, but i rarely play games anymore. played a few games of gears and pro 6(beast)

tbh microsoft killed this game, straight up. there is a big handfull of gamers that wud play this game if it became backwards compatible.

i just cant wait till wednesday hopefully i get my nintendo. shud be appealing for a few weeks.

[CounterZeus]

hearts is my most played game atm

[ThePigster]

Ok, so sometime during Christmas break is good for everyone? I know it's too early to set a date right now, but we'll figure something out.

I know what you're saying about being rusty, snoogs. I'm sure I'll get wooped on if I go online. I keep telling myself I'm gonna go online and play some games, but I know I'm gonna suck, and GoW is pretty addictive. And I work at night, so I doubt many people will be online early in the morning when I get off work.

So it looks like we may have 3 people up for it so far?

[snoogans460]

I'm down for whenever. Whether it's real late at night or early mornings, it doesn't matter. Those are always best for me anyhow.

I really would love to play UC2 as much as many within the community do - but honestly, my attention span, life schedule, and need for variety (the need for other games) kinda hinder this from becoming a reality.

A while back I used to invest a couple hours every few days (heck, sometimes everyday), but it's ultimately reached the point where I could essentially give a rat's a$$. I love this game to death, but there's definitely more important things to attend to in life that obviously come first.

What's up people. I haven't been playing this game in awhile. I been playing a lot of sega genesis, and the final fantasy III for the DS. But I think I will play during the holiday season. Why not?!!? Anywho, I got my 360 and GOW about two weeks ago. Man I love that game. But I broke my 360 that fast. LOL!!! So I have been playing other games for now, plus making my own. But I will try to meet you guys online sometime during the break.

[Netsurfer733]

Come to think of it, yes UC2 was down for the count because of it's overstressing graphics lag, but what probably REALLY cut its head off was the hype and release of the Xbox 360. Once that came out, with all of its conveniences and new tech and what not, the lifespan of this game was even shorter than it should have been with the lag (short x short = stupidly short life span).

God willing we'll see some revitalization, in the form of BC or hell, just a new UC3 game on the 360!!! Omg my dreams would come true...

[hypnotic]

netsurfer i would argue against that statement.....

for most of us, uc2 lasted atleast 12 months. i would not really say thats a short life span. i clocked up around 250 hours on this game. the only other game that i have played over 100 hours on is UC1.

lag was a *****, but when u got in a good game the lag didnt matter. i used to always play in unreal servers be4 i realised midways were better for british ppl. sum ppl wud say i was better in unreals at stages.

but i understand where u were coming from, i played UC for 2 years till UC2 came out. i do think UC2 should have lasted longer than it did.

BTW i cant play UC2 till i got a free trial. (ne1 got a spare)

[ThePigster]

I probably got around 400hrs in UC2 including syslink and instant action. I would have played much longer, but the lag got frustrating. I personally think the game didn't sell well because the majority of Xbox gamers can't play a game so complicated. That's why Halo 2 is so huge. And GoW is cool, but not half as complicated as UC2. And people already complain way too much about that game.

Venom my man, what's happenin?!
Good to see ya still comin' around yet, even if it's only brief appearances like myself.

Congrats on finally joining the next-gen camp with your 360 and Gears. I'm just curious though, how did your console break already? Did you become a victim from the Ring of Death already? My 360 was KIA for no apparent reason. One night she just stopped working. Thank goodness for warranties.

That's great that you still find time to kick-it with some old-school classics from time to time - even if for pure nostalgia purposes alone. Heck, I still rock my Sega CD (Best System Ever!) like its goin' outta' style. Plus, I still fire-up my Dreamcast, 3DO, Saturn, Master System, 2600 and others whenever possible.

This week I finally got my Turbo Grafx 16 Emulator up and running (Bonk's Adventure!) on my MAME Cabinet. Sheesh, I have so many roms *cough* - I mean games for these older systems. Here's a few pics of my MAME Cabinet.

I agree that both HALO 2's community and the looming 360's release definitely put a hurt on UC2 in numerous ways. Considering that UC2 came out in late in the original Xbox's life cycle didn't do much to help the situation. Although, by this time the developers had already tapped the tech horsepower, which ultimately allowed for this game to be as great as it is. I still say that UC2 looks and plays better than most 360 titles.

There might still be hope for a backwards compatibility update with UC2 on the list - but doubtful. I'm just looking forward to a UC3 myself (knock on wood).

Ya, I've been playing this game almost non-stop myself for darn near a year and a half - which is far more time than I've ever invested into any other gaming experience. I'd estimate roughly 300 hours both online and off.

Tug, I have a a ton of free 2 month trials that are all expired - and a couple of 48 hour trials if you want them. The latter ones came bundled in with those exclusive Burger King games. I'm not sure if they have this fast food franchise in the UK though.

[fenix1729]

UC2 is the most played game for me. I still play it once in a while.

[hypnotic]

thanks snoogans, expired 1's can still work
send me that when ur already to play. btw we do have burger kings over here but we are abit behind time over here

[SythVenom]

Not trying to call you a liar, but expired game cards never worked for me. I can send you some if I had your address.
@snoogans:
My 360 broke from modding. I wanted to customize it before I went online so that my new hard drive number would be the one initialized besides the stock drive. That way I can still play online without getting banned. But I goofed up, but the warrenty still valid. So yeah, thank god for warrenties.

[ShredPrince]

I wish someone had an "old" trial lying around for me to grab, like circa Halo 2.You just set back the date on the Xbox.

[snoogans460]

I do have a whole mess and I just sent one to Hypnotic (Tug). Not sure if they work anymore though. If you really need one, let me know.

I just played UC2 tonight for a couple hours and found some pretty good matches online. Eh, same people, a few noobs, the usual. Either way, it felt good to get back in the fray after an almost two month hiatus. After finding a decent rhythm, everything felt like second nature once again. Too bad the lag was was hittin' hard - even on my Dedicated. It must be my connection or something?

[ShredPrince]

Well shoot PM me a few man....

I wanna see if I still got any skillz on the TLC, and I just went and got Doom3, Madden '06, and Ninja Gaiden.

I wanna co-op with one of ya on some Doom, and if anyone want to get the rock pounded on 'em by the Falcons, I'll play some Madeen too....

(begins reciting rap from Atlanta Rap stations about the Falcons)


Either way we run Nigga, you don't want none: LOL!

[hypnotic]

the code worked fine. all i do is change the date to 2001. cus some of them ran out years ago. my tag is HyPnOtiCs18 i think

I'd play Doom 3: RoE with you. I don't have it, but I'll buy it. I'm not buying Doom 3 again though, since I played it so much and there is no super shotty.

[ShredPrince]

Is RoE on Xbox????

I'm just kinda looking for a co-op'er if there s anyone who never did it, or whatever like me.

I am also playing Ninja Gaiden.I just went and grabbed some XBox games from the cheapy bin.I just got stuff I wanted to play, but was too burned out tooo even try at the time, or never finished.I ak=lways wanted to mess up Gaiden, but never had the time, or willingness.Now I got my ind right for that game, and it's on.I'm through the first three missions with master ninja rankings

Snoogans give me a code DOOD!!!

I'll pwn you all: Is that what I gotta say to get a code???

You all will die!!!!

ME godlike!!!

Kill you with Malcoms superior Melle, and Sentienel

Ha ha!!! Hey what happen to aberdeeman and tnt. Anyways I got doom 3. But I haven't played it in awhile. You will like Ninja Gaiden. I should advise to get black as well if you want a harder challenge though.

[ShredPrince]

Nah Regular Ninja Gadien is Beotchly enough for me......hard game 4 sure.

I had actually started ot two different times but ended up breaking a contoller on it both times.

I'm a big fan of Doom 3 and ROE on Xbox. If someone wants to play sometime, let's do it. Those games rock!

Shred, I was just at Toys 'R Us tonight looking around, and decided to scope out their cheap games. Anyhow, I found Constantine (with Keanu Reeves) for only $3.50. LOL.

Sure, it happens to be a movie-based tie-in, but for the price of a pack of smokes - its defintely worth the few measly dollars. The movie itself was pretty cool, and after playing a few rounds, it has some pretty quality production values... no joke. It feels like Max Payne.

Also, I saw Outlaw Tennis at Best Buy for $1.99 which is a friggin' steal! I already own it and love that game, but for someone who doesn't already have it apart of their collection, there's no better time to buy it.

A few months ago I saw UC2 at Best Buy for $4.99... seriously.

[ThePigster]

Alright people, how about this week? My buddy is in town from the army, so UC2 isn't something I can just pick up and jump into at anytime right now. But I'm down for some games this week sometime. Maybe we could set aside a saturday morning for this or something? Actually sometime around noon would be good for me, but I'm flexible when it comes to mornings and aftyernoons(sort of).

The gamertag I'll be using is GROUNDED FLIER. If someone wants to send me an FR, go ahead. I'll send an FR to anyone too.

Sweet, nothing better than gamin it up for the low-low.

Last time I all bought PS2 for $400 and crap: this time I'm goann be the guy who waits, but pays like 1/4 of everyone else.

I've found the games are just as good a year or so later....

OF course this does not go for every title.

Any of ya ever beat Ninja Gaiden?

[snoogans460]

I've found the games are just as good a year or so later....

OF course this does not go for every title.

I hear that. I just picked-up GUN on the 360 for Christmas for only $20 bucks. I waited a year and it's dropped down from $60 and it'll still be a fun game. I don't even wanna add up all the money I've spent on this gaming hobby - it would be a lot.

[ShredPrince]

Well Ninja Gaiden was certainly worth the $7.99.

I'm thinking I might need to get black, but I'm gonna go through the game at least a second time to see how it plays.I think it'll be like DMC1.I loved that game, and beat on everything from very easy on Easy/auto, all the way up to Dante must-die using the legendary dark night (hard as crap).

In fact the hardest games ever would proably be DMC1 and Ninja Gaiden, for recent games that is: 3D stuff.

[ThePigster]

I haven't seen many new Xbox games for cheap yet, but I see used ones cheap all the time. I just picked up Counter-strike, Rainbow Six 3: BA, Blood Omen 2, and Metal Gear Solid 2 all for about $30. And MGS2 and Blood Omen 2 are games that I can never seem to find too. I can't seem to find a cheap copy of Doom 3:RoE that has the regular case and instructions though.

Once production on the PS2 stops, I'll pick one up used somewhere and start buying all the games I've wanted for years for cheap. That's what I do with most every console.

[ShredPrince]

Yeah I'm thinking of doing the same: good idea.

On BO, and MGS2:

I used to work at EB so I can tell you Blood Omen is sorta rare but not that much.

Really you can probably get it off of EB online for cheap as hell..

I remeber it being $7 a few years ago, and I got copy of MGS2 for like a $1 at some point, even though I bought that one when it was relased: which leads to a funny story.

Well the dude at the counter messed up, and I still had my money when I got home somehow, and like an extra 1.75, so technically I got paid to take MGS2, hot on the market.

ON TOPIC

I'm back beotches, lets play!!!

I'll just be leaving my server running as much as possible.....if I'm not there, jsut hope maybe I'll show up soon, or Yell into your mic like "SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD" and I'll hear you in the next room: LOL

[SythVenom]

Shred is back playing, and I don't even have internet now. Dammit. Oh and Ninja gaiden black hard difficulties are worse then DMC, but they are the two hardest games I have ever played. Well, besides the orignal Ninja gaidens. I do like DMC but am a loyal xbox fan, so I only scope Dragonball Z, final fantasy, metal gear, and DMC for the playstation. Besides that, everything is about Xbox and PC games. Emulators are another good thing.
