I was playing with my brothers most of the night, so it looks like I missed out on a lot of drama.

What's up with riot shield/armor guy? How many melees does it take to kill those assholes?

The Juggernauts? I dunno, but it takes more than one sticky grenade stuck right on their head. Found that one out the other day.

That is actually not true when you teamed up with Zubaz I received an invite. I jumped over to talk about if we should play ground war or a private match. I sent invites to everyone and they all jumped we were talking about what to do and FnPhat said send SJS an invite. You jumped in 2 seconds later and Zubaz said Phat didn't want you to play. (because he said to send SJS an invite) so you jumped out and you and SJS starting pouting and wouldn't join up. We started a game without you, at least you came to your senses and came back, SJS never did.

It was fun playing those private matches. Plenty of room for everyone. To bad one of the teams lost their captain because he was pouting.

Nobody was pouting. I never even mentioned that I got Sainted to the crew I ended up with. Truth is, it took me a few minutes to figure out even what happened.

Did I join up with you guys later when I got re-invited? No, because it would have been rude to drop fusnik, Sizzle, and Tick.

Another lie by Fusnik. Oden told us you were never going to play with any of us again. You really can't trust polys.

Also, they all joined our private match dude after you went offline.

a few thoughts:

-spas 12 is vastly underpowered
-mp7 is way overpowered
-the mechanics feel great, is it the same engine as mw2? the maps are ok at this point, i predict they'll get a lot better
-no noob tubing!!!

[USCoug]

is it the same engine as mw2

Yes.

Pretty good games last night, if you played every game with me, you went 15-3. I know that because the Elite website is working quite well now. I like the layout a lot and being able to dive into the stats. I like things such as accuracy by match and breakdown of game modes played. Apparently I'm 1.7 hours away from prestiging too. I like that you can change your classes too, but haven't tried it yet.

One thing I noticed last night, and I'm sure most people already realized it but I didn't so it might help one person. If you earn a killstreak before using another one you have, you can select which one to use.

I've put UAV in almost all my killstreaks now and my performance has improved considerably. The loftier killstreaks are fun, but I do best with UAV, predator missile, and attack helicopter. They're easy to get, they are very effective in getting kills, and you can get them multiple times throughout a game.

I was having a bad streak at the end last night so I called it quits early, but that was fun. The game just before you and junkie joined up was hilarious - I kept killing the same guy and he kept raging and raging. He kept coming back to where I was - I will admit to camping a bit around corners in spots he didn't expect because he was so mad.

I've heard this mentioned, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

The only thing that I want to work in Elite that doesn't yet (at least for me) is showing which challenges I'm closest to completing. I have tinkered with my classes on Elite, and it's pretty nice. I was bored at work, so I created a new class and tweaked the others. When I started the game it asked if I wanted to bring those changes over, and it worked just fine.

Ditto. I don't know how to do it either. Just last night I had a UAV, predator missile and Attack helicopter. If I knew how to switch my streaks I would have thrown up the UAV first but it made me use the attack helicopter then predator missile and then the UAV.

It first requires you to get multiple streaks, so that might be an issue.

So, you'll see the killstreaks on the right side of the screen, the most recent one has a white box around it or something highlighting it. Using the directional control pad (not sure what it's officially called, left side of controller, bottom), you can toggle up and down and highlight the killstreak you'd like to use. To your point, CJ, that's exactly why i like it, so you can throw up UAV before pinpointing the next attack.

I'm checking out Elite and one of the recommended setups includes the trophy system. I had that equipped on one of my classes for about 3 days, but I don't think it did a single thing the entire time (and I actually deployed it too).

Anyone know how this thing works or what it does?

That works for me, I just noticed with my stinger that I need to shoot down 2 more things before I get a 10,000 point bonus.

I love that shooting down stuff counts towards your streaks; I haven't tested it out yet, but if you put down a SAM turret and it shoots down UAVs, does that count towards a streak? I assume yes if the SAM turret was your killstreak and no if it was part of a care package.

I think it stops ballistics, not sure if that's just grenades, etc. or if it includes predator missiles/helicopters, etc. I can only see it being useful in HQ or demolition. This game has a lot of killstreaks/perks/etc. that would make a world of difference in the objective games if used correctly by the team.
