"Steel Batallion"

I have it.

Who wants to touch me?

I said who want's to ing touch me?

Ok, I went to the Basildon SR today and picked up the online game. I'll probably set it up tomorrow and have a look into it. Might mess around making up an emblem tonight and stuff. ;-)

The gaining and losing territory part of the online game looks pretty good. Plus I read something in the booklet about trading. Hmmmmmmmm, interesting. Gonna try and finish SP:PT tonight. ;-)

Edgy I knew a few helpful guys who have this who would help you out, reply with an email address and I'll let you know gamertags.

There are some non-nerdy people out there with the game...I think there's someone on me Live contacts list who has it. (not sure if they come on here though).

I couldn't get into his game though - his was full.

I think I just had bad luck with my timing.

Oo-ar, the Leeds Gamestation have at least one of these in stock at £129.99.

If it's there on Saturday, I might just buy.

I don't have the space though and would probably only play it once/twice due to SC:PT, R63, CS, PGR2 etc etc...

Hmmmmmmmmm, that almost sounds like a cry for help mate. ;-) "Buy it and get online with me so I can attempt to have a decent game !" ;-))
Bonus is that I already have the original and I think a shop near me has the game in seperately. I might consider it if I go into town tomorrow and see it looking at me on the shelf.

So is it all nerds ? Or are there ::gasp:: normal people playing it ?
Well besides you of course - not calling you a nerd. ;-)

The single player game is amazing - and I especially like the frustrating fact that if you don't eject before your VT explodes, you have to start from the beginning.

The online play could be great also. Potentially it is, however with the majority of gamers just chatting on my first attempt at play, I can't really say.

Wow, thanks for the warning there - was starting to weaken towards it for a moment. ;-))

The Steel Battalion controller is the original one.

A seperate controller is required for the headset.

Note: Online play (so far) sucks. The Americans have had it longer and they're the majority of the players.

"Oh, you've just got this game then?"

Came the nerdy voice through my headset.

"Yes, it has only just been released here in the UK."


It seems the yankees mainly use it as a chatroom.

Hey Edgy - that new Steel Battalion controller, does it have a port for the headset ? Or do you have to plug it into a regular controller ?

I was waiting for someone to say that :D
