I've been busy lately. Plus I wanted to unlock some of the other cars. Haven't gone for golds yet, just tried to get to the ultimates as fast as possible.

I'll be on quite a bit next week probably.

like I said in a post somewhere yesterday, it seems to me some people go on there just to talk complete crap for hours on end. you can't tell them to start the game because they get all shirty and kick you off. I like a good laugh, and it's very handy to be able to co-ordinate attacks verbally with team mates (some of the best kills have been done this way), but I don't want to stare at a grey screen for 20 mins listening to freaks talk about their bowel complaints, whether or not they should play a clan match some time next month or whatever.

If I want brainless jibbering I'll go to the pub and talk to a set of pish-heads.

I vary my tactics.

Sometimes I run in and have a mad shooting spree, other times I double back, wait and then double back again, I do wait in places for short amounts of time but then I move on, I listen for indications that there's somebody near by.

Everyone's guilty of waiting in a sweet spot for 30 seconds (Canidj and Tilt love their sniping position in the Carnival level). Do I complain? No because they don't do it for the whole game, they do it for a short while and considering the nature of Rainbow Six 3's multiplayer that's acceptable.

The game is full of places which create bottlenecks, nobody charges blind through these everytime, people wait, throw grenades and try to fool the other team: it's called tactics.

I don't just sit under stairs for 5 minutes. That's boring. I may have done that for a short time but saying it was 5 minutes is just plain silly.

You want to chat? Go chat in the lobby, unless it's crucial team information I don't talk in-game because I'm playing the damn thing.

Hell I can't be bothered to chat much in the lobby either, I'm ready for the next game as soon as the last one ends.

and how come you don't show up biggles? I go to look at the scoreboard, to compare times with friends, and pretty much everyone shows up but you. it's as though you haven't done any of the challenges.

good stuff, by the way PGR2 is the mutts nuts. haven't unlocked many cars yet, and am up to the american muscle car series.

had a couple of games online earlier and kicked some ass. it seemed to be mainly played with the 'ultimate' cars, of which I had the two you are given at the start. still wasted a lot of people on it though.

I'd be more interested in having races with things like the BMW M3 and that though.

camping is fine when there is only one of you, and loads of them. but when there's only one person per team or so, it's a bit silly, as the time usually ends up running out.

hedfix, I missed the session the other night, but if anyone fancies an rs3/pgr2 night sometime .... although with the current situation I'm guessing some of the folks on here WON'T be interested.
