Yes boys, it was busy last night... That match where all the GTPers were on one side and then got booted was hectic! Such a pity the server quit on us! After that had some good matches with Dragonistic while jswilli and Tommi were on the opposing squad... Believe Digital was there too... One drawback is the 4 person squad limit... :( Wish you could just have a 12 man squad and tear it up on the battlefield. Great fun though... Hope we can repeat it again. And good initiative sending out the invites Dragon! Good way to get everyone out there together :D:tup:

Could I be apart of the next GTP matches?

Of course! It was kind of a coincidence we all ended up on the same map at the same time, but it was great fun... I'll add you on my PSN list tonight! So when we all do meet i'll send you an invite as well! 👍

-Edit: I do see though that time difference might be an issue... ?? AUS and Europe is quite a difference I believe.

Yeah......it was me......ughhh....LOLOLOLOLOLOL

to be perfectly honest, it's the first time i've been knifed and not been livid :)

It's alright, because guess who got Tommi's tag :sly:.

As for boosting the trophy in a private match, I would be up for helping that out. Even if we only get 8 we can just do a little swapping around for the 5 tags and it's job done. That will leave me with only the following trophies:

Won Them All - I could do with a good squad of headsetters to help me win the squad modes
The Dentist - It'll be easy enough if I go for it
Demolition Man - Slowly but surely I should get there anyway although I have zero now :lol:
Pistol Man - Easy when I bother
Mission... Accomplished - Easy when I bother
Demolish Part 2 (Campaign) - Also easy when I bother.

Right now I'm on 88% Trophy wise, I'm not one to obsess over them, but if I can see a Platinum which I know I can get without pouring my life into a game or playing in ways I don't like, I will go for it.
 
Dragon... "The Dentist" trophy is REALLY easy... All you do is run up to the enemy on a UAV station and use your repair tool when your engineer... :D Thats how I got that trophy... I know its a bit simple maybe, but I tried going after people and that just makes it hard and you suffer unnecessary death :)

jswilli1- Sorry I kept trying to go for you in our matches, I was going for the Et Tu Brute trophy. (I had a deal I could only use the knife until I got that trophy).

Also does anyone have any advice for a good place to get the Demolition Man and the Stationary AT helicopter kill Trophies from?

I thought Demolition Man would be best done on the White Pass map in Conquest or Squad Deathmatch at B since there are two houses that normally hold several people, Even C may get the trophy as well.

I think if we get are playing again anytime there are 5 or more people we should utilize the chat room when/if we get bumped from the server. One person should volunteer to host, post on the chat board they will host, and send out four invites. The remaining individuals that did not get the invites should join under "the host" and rejoin the battle. If you end up on the other side, play until there is an opening on the other side and rejoin the group. Honestly I found it comical when Tommi and I were on the other side, we were cracking up everytime we got a former fellow squad mate.👍

Yes it was... Also because in the beginning I didnt even realise I was on the other team... Me and Dragonistic just ended up in a squad together all of a sudden. Then while I was fighting I noticed you guys were there but on the other team... saw your names come up ;) Oh well, I must say its really fun when theres a lot of us on because we all have the same mind set and theres no one messing about.... Good FUN! 👍
 
I've just played Laguna Presa on Rush. Pure awesomeness.

After the one rush game I've played on it I thought it was awful! May begin to like it with time though!

Does anyone else think the AN-94 outshines the M16 in every way?

Yes for the most part that is true. However now that everyone and their dog knows how to take a building down in one go, WP has become a "demolition fest". I've been in matches on this level where every single building was rendered to rubble before even 5 minutes had passed :crazy:. At least this is true on the 360, I'm just assuming it's likely the same on the PS3.

It outshines every assault rifle in every way really, it's the most powerful, possibly most accurate, and it doesn't burn bullets easily because it's not full auto but you can fire up to full auto speed. It's not massively overpowered but it is the best.

Also, I may not be on tonight as my connections slow and this game is unplayable if you get some lag on your own end, it does all the things you see in COD like rubber banding and such. It's a shame, I'm having to play COD which is slightly more bearable on current speed connection.

It should have read, as for boosting, if you boost your are a complete wank and should just learn skills and play the game properly.
 
I got your friend request Jazza. Will try to get squadded up sometime. I hope you don't hate hardcore.

I prefer the HK416 to both. Best of both worlds.

Wow, back down son, we're not boosting for stats or unlocks, we're getting knife 5 friends in a game which when you join a friend you join on their team and thus can't struggle to get 1, it's taken me 50+ hours to get my chance at my first 1. It's one of those achievements which relies on very specific things happen which are out of your control and then you're in the right place at the right time. Not to mention you need 8 people for a private match to force yourself against friends to do it that way without deliberately arranging it.

With a skill level hovering around maximum, a win and kill death ratio above 2 and every unlock in the game already, I think I know how to play the game properly and I think I have some skill.

Online trophies which rely on other people doing something specific and certain situations you can't control, which often requires them to be quite bad players for a kick off, always have been and always will be completely bull. Similarly, Trophies and achievements don't really mean anything and we're not gaining and advantage or in any way effecting the gaming experience for anyone else.

I'm not a fan of boosting, but if it's for something which won't effect someone elses gaming experience or give someone an advantage I'm not going to stop someone. If it then goes further and is very specific relying on specific situations which are out of your control then I'm prepared to do it if it's holding me back from a platinum as I don't think having someone else give you a chance to do something is an achievment. Does it take skill to knife someone? No, most of us probably have 50+ dogtags. Does it take skill to knife a friend? No, it just requires them being on the other team which happens by pure luck in the first place and you doing what you'd normally do to knife someone, which requires them to be stationary and leaving a way to get behind them.

Well said :) Seems to be pretty much the only way to obtain a trophy as stupid as it is! Can see it being a serious roadblock on my way to the platinum.
 
some absolutely awesome games today ! a lot of good kill streaks and double/triple kills with quite tough competition I must say .. Thanks to all that were involved (also to your buddies Dragonistic who are not probably members @GTP) .. I just don't know where did last 3 hours go!

cheers

Yea we took a hammering out there, I think we won half and lost half give or take with our time against that particular team but we very consistently took Gold Squad and each victory felt all the more rewarding (and each defeat all the more gutting!). I was racking up the kills as Assault, that's my job after all, enough to take me over the 100 mark for the Combat Excellence pin (8 streak) and 198 Combat Efficiency pins (6 streak).

I've noticed you can get the pin twice without dying, if you get enough kills you get them twice, it may be 12 for the second efficiency pin or it might reset after 8 I'm not to sure. Same with other pins I believe, they seem to be stackable.

He will be fine in Hardcore! and watch him he is great with a knife! he got his Et Tu Brute trophy last night, he found me 5 times and trust me he earned it:tup:
 
Don'y know if you boys tried the "new" maps out but Laguna Presa Rush is such a great map! With all the dense jungle, it really keeps your head on a swivel. Excellent map to have a battle with decent opposition, my games earlier tonight consisted of people who hardly put up a fight at all so they didn't last too long :(

I just quickly tried out Arica Harbour Conquest and thought it was pretty good. Hopefully there will be plenty of GTP'ers on tonight so I can try out Laguna Presa too, looks awesome.:)
I like the sound of the Camo and uniform DLC that's coming soon.👍
 
Little anecdote i'd like to share; I can't for the life of me get used to the m95 sniper. After using the m24 as my workhorse, all of the others seem strange in comparison. Even the VSS, type 88 and SVU serve me well but the m24 and sv98' are the only sniper rifle's i could use with reasonable efficency.

Another note to anyone still leveing up, the g3 is a beast of a weapon. Any class with a g3 is a force to be reckoned with for sure even without magnum ammo!. thanks to tommi for the heads up for that one!
 
The G3 is my weapon of choice for Medic and Engineer, it certainly gets the job done but when it comes to Assault I love my M16 and 4x Scope to much as it's a useful Recon tool and long range weapon as I'm often in a squad leader type position with my buddies.
 
Looks like I have to give the G3 a try. ;) Its just been sitting there waiting to be picked up and used :D

Same here, I need to try the G3 out. all I have left to complete is Recon, I am working on the 12x scope now. Honestly I don't like Recon, I like to run and gun however the Mortar strike is great in rush when there are alot of enemies hovering around the M-Con Station.
 
Hit detection for the G3 up close is almost non-existent, though at longer ranges it's very powerful.
 
Aparently from what I've been told along with the nerfing of the M60 and M1911, the AN94 (predictable) and M16 (a little shock) are also being nerfed. I really don't see why the M16 is in anyway overpowered, yes it's accurate but it's one of the weaker assault rifles as a trade off unlike the AN94 which is both massively powerful and accurate especially with a red dot.
