Chromehounds - NOW WITH IMPRESSIONS

[DonD]

Got my 360 back and picked up Dead Rising to celebrate the occasion.  I could easily be persuaded to jump over to Chromehounds though.   Tomorrow I'm headed out of town for a couple of days.

[DonD]

I can't connect to the online lobby..it just hangs at the Connecting screen.  Boo..

[stiffler]

I'll be on Saturday night.  Hope to see some of you there.

[DonD]

I'll be back monday night and looking for some action.

I finally completed the Commander arc this morning.  The first of the story arcs for me.  Next I'm going to try the scout arc.

The online server seems to be working for me this morning too, which is a relief.

[CeeKay]

So, is the squad pretty much dead?  Has everyone moved on to Madden and Dead Rising and N3 and soon Saints Row?

[Arkon]

My 360 is still sitting somewhere in Texas being repaired.  MS is hoping to have it back to me by Friday.

I unfortunately haven't played the game in like forever. I really should, but with all the new stuff all over the place, my 360 time has been limited. Enchanted Arms will pull me back to the console, but not for the reasons you all want.

???

Does that mean you're not coming out or what?

[Doopri]

a few of us still play nightly - rcher and i are on pretty religiously at around 9ish.  ping plays quite a bit kadnod jumps in as well as soulchilde - though i think soul plays a bit earlier???  but alas, the days of two 6v6s are long gone

LOL

Okay, I worded that one wrong. What I meant to say was that I'll be playing my 360, but not Chromehounds. But I might be able to pop on for a game or six occasionally. Gotta love the friends list and it showing what everybody is playing.

I still want to play.  The weekends are best for me, but I do check out the Xbox Live site and see if any of my friends are playing.  I still enjoy the game and don't feel burned out on it at all.  Mount up!

[USMC Kato]

I just bought this game last week and from the few times I played Mulitplayer it was a blast!

I would love to play this game with a GT squad.

[Doopri]

USMC were on sal kar and the squad is:   GT Goonsquad

by my last count we have 1 space left.  joining a squad is "hard" though because the interface and search is, surprise!, clumsy

i dont know if you can get in with arkons 360 ill though - as an aside, i will be sending it some digital chicken soup

It is supposed to be here by Friday now.  They weren't able to fix it so are replacing it.

[pingwrx]

Good deal on getting a new 360 Arkon I'll look for you on tomorrow.

tomorrow's Thursday, so you might be disappointed 

[DonD]

I'm still playing.  I've been doing some single-player campaign stuff, but I'm always willing to jump over to the Multi side.

[DonD]

I finished up the single player campaign this morning.

Time for y'all to jump back online for some MP goodness.

I would if I could.  I will be without my system for around 3 weeks this time, thanks to the holliday weekend, it will be Friday before I even get the box to ship it back.

[MerianMoriarty]

ah, don't worry; n3 is starting to wear off on me now, so i'll go back to wanting to play CH soon; assuming there will be at least two people on (whenever i happen to play agin) to let me back in the squad.

Nice, now if I just had a 360 that worked...  sigh....

[Destructor]

Still no way to skip the '*insert porn name here* has donated money, nation is still surprised' bullcrap that plague the game EVERY FREAKING TIME YOU DECIDE TO PLAY...

one of a few reasons i took a break from the game.  every time i logged in i had to sit through all that crap.  but i think this weekend i'm gonna make a concerted effort to get my mech back up and running!

[Soulchilde]

Yeah, I am missing blowing shit with you guys.

[Jarrodhk]

Yeah, I am missing blowing shit with you guys.

That would explain the paint job when I got back to the garage!

[Destructor]

Nothing like a single missing word to make the post of the day.

   I guess Arkon made some changes while I was out  :slywink:

[Purge]

I was gonna ask if you guys had room in the clan, but clearly the team meetings happen in public washrooms...  :icon_eek:

[Arkon]

We should have room if I ever get a working 360 again.

[Farscry]

And if there isn't room in the official GT squad, there's room in the Furious Octopi for ya, Purge! 

[Jarrodhk]

I know papasmurff traded his copy of the game, so there's at least one opening.

[papasmurff]

Hey,
Yup as Jarrod said I traded it in on Saints row.  I forgot to take myself out of the group though.

[hepcat]

oh, that darn Saints Row kept me in its clutches this weekend.   

i swear to god, i spent a majority of the playtime trying to find a decent pair of pants for my alt.  when i realize i passed over blowing things up with a 60 ton mech in favor of essentially going to the gap in a video game, i almost wanna beat my head against the wall....   

[Jarrodhk]

<points and laughs at Hep>

[MerianMoriarty]

solomon grundy want pants too.
