Ugh, I like playing with you guys, but I think the time zone difference prevents us from playing together most of the time. I usually don't get on till 6:30PST.

I live in California, but I'm usually at work when you guys play. I think I get on about the tail end of when you guys start getting bored and play something else, hah.

For the record I was NAFLA.
 
Been playing as a troll a lot lately and I really have to say that as a Troll I have come to fear Dwarves. They get in close, such your essence, your're skin doesn't harden and you just become a big target.

Got my 100 Wins achievement tonight. W00T! I think Minigun kills and Elf player are next.
 
I did a great kill, and I wanted to brag about it. I intersected a troll, switched to shoty, and circled him faster than he could turn. I hit him five times up close with the shotgun and killed him. It was beautiful.

Why doesn't every game have Halo 3-style playbacks? Shadowrun truly cries out for it. I've seen some amazing manuevers, from great teleport kills, to dual-elves popping back and forth, playing man-in-the-middle with trolls.

Edit: I also got my Trollhammer Achievement that game.
 
I picked up the game tonight and would like to play with some GAFers. My gt is Justegarde, so next time there's a GAF match going, feel free to invite me.
 
Fasa announced the second Shadowrun update yesterday. Here's an overview. They're addressing a lot of the network issues people complain about.

TITLE UPDATE #2 CONTENTS:

Vista Only:
1) Fixed some user interface issues on the dedicated server administrator console.
2) Fixed some user interface issues on the Live menus.
3) Silver players will now show up on the recently played player list of Gold players.
4) Fixed a hard lock that could occur under certain conditions when accepting a game invite.

Vista and 360:
1) Implemented improvements to matchmaking. We expect a 200-300% improvement in wait times. We've also added clearer status messaging.
2) Improved sync times. When a new player joins a game, the synching wait will be reduced.
3) Made changes to improve party system. Parties should be split less now, and when splitting is absolutely necessary, we attempt to regroup the party later.
4) Changed some of the achievement descriptions to make goals clearer.
5) Improved bot AI.

I was hoping they'd show off some new maps for the DLC at e3 but...No luck.
 
Less waiting time when finding a server is sweet. I remember one night, it took about 15 minutes of searching and re-searching to even connect to a server. Now if we can only get some new maps...

One night? i can think of quite a few nights that this was the case. Once you find a game its all good though.
 
So after playing Gears online for like five hours today I decided I'd finish my day off with a few games of Shadowrun. I got my Lead Hose achievement earlier and I've been on the verge of getting Unstoppable for like two weeks straight. Something always going wrong. In the very first round of a game, I went 6-0. With nothing but my pistol and grenades. My team sees it...Comments on it. And then one of my teammates procedes to throw a miraculous grenade about four seconds into the game that lands directly at my feet and kills me...Thanks a lot.

I was in a game the other day where a guy on our team started killing us the moment we were able to move. He'd killed half the team and sprinted off before we could figure out what was going on.

For three rounds, the first thing we had to do was kill one of our own teammates, while simultaneously defending against the other team. After they saw it happening, they started rushing our spawn. The guy was good, I'll give him that. We'd be chasing him through the map, he'd lead us into the other team and teleport away.

It was a pain in the ass and funny, all at the same time. At the beginning of the third round we all just opened fire as soon as the game start and he dropped.

Allright me ( MMaRsu NL ) Beseda ( Besada ) and Mic Vlad ( Mic Vlad ) are playing right now, anyone wanna join in?

I'll be on in a few minutes. GT = RyoGCH. I've been going balls out for my Sniper achievement today so excuse me if I do stupid things:lol
 
Some fun games yesterday. Was surprised I actually killed Beseda by gust jumping over him and then killing him with a grenade right before I touched the ground.

MmaRsu needs to lay off the 4 vs 4 games though. ;]

I selected public match but it still gave us 4 vs 4 games.. Not my fault :P.

At first I was really really sucking, but eh didn't play it for some time. After awhile my Shadowrun Fever just came back ;).

Artifact runner hehe :D

Hey guys, if you ever need another player, feel free to invite me (I think I said that before); but I think I'm probably good enough now to hang with everyone. My gamtertag is Justegarde.

Send me a FR. Whenever I play I look for Gaffers on my Friends List, and invite them in.
 
My wife started playing Shadowrun. This is a woman who would never play FPS games because she didn't like dying. Apparently it's okay if you can get rezzed.

I watched her run the artifact in twice on the Shadowrun demo, and my eyes filled with tears of pride and joy.

Oh, and I didn't respond to you, Charsace, because we were in the demo and you REALLY don't want to play with those guys.
 
Do you guys still play pretty often on this? Because if so my computer will be done being built middle to end of next week I think so I'll join you guys. And is MMaRsu NL, Besada, and Mic Vlad your gamertags? If so I'll add you tonight on my 360.

lol sorry I remember hearing about some stories about you playing. My memory sucks though so thats why I just used people on this page. I'll send you an invite tonight too then if you don't mind in preparation for next week. :)
 
Man, I had such a good game earlier tonight. We were down 4-0 on Pinncale and we ended up coming together as a team in a huge way and winning 6-5.

The community in this game is great, and when things all come together, everything clicks like no other.
 
Haven't been playing Shadowrun much lately. Been splurging in Gears with a friend to try to get some of the new achievements. And my 360 is apparently dying...So I'll splurge in Shadowrun for a bit to try to get some of my last achievements before my 360 goes in fore repairs most likely. Have to be close to my Elf Player and Sniper achievements.

Yup those are the tags..I'll clear some space on my FL right now.. :)

Out of curiousity do u guys play on your 360 or your computer?
Click to expand...

Most of us play on 360. The number of people who have Vista is very limited, and the number of people who have Vista, have Shadowrun and have an XBL account is even more limited.
 
I have it on both Vista and 360. Got it free with Halo 2 at Circuit City.

It at least made it easy to get the Mine is the Superior platform achievement.

Even when I play it on Vista I still use a 360 wired controller. I don't snipe much and that's about the only advantage I've seen with Vista over 360 when using a mouse and keyboard.
 
We're on and playing right now. If you're not on my Friends List, hit me up. Me, MMarsu, JusteGarde, almost Voltron64 (he keeps popping in and out).

Get yer ass in.
