Mass Effect has been in stores for about 2 days. K-Mart broke streetdate.

I work at Gamestop.  awesome, for real



Also, while I will be on to get my snipe on, I really like the new Ace Combat. With the Hori Ace Stick thing. I haven't played an Ace Combat game since....um....1? And, it looks fantastic on my shitty SDTV.

I will be there, as long as I can dodge any obligation to go eat steak with my downstairs neighbor (he's been trying to get me to come to this bar where they serve steak on Tuesdays since I moved in) I fully intend to use any lies necessarry to dodge away though.

Plus I need to double check if my soldier skills are better or not, I'm still not quite consistent but I've about doubled my /played since the MnM scrim.

Sadly, all the new maps SUCK! Obo's has great potential, but they're just too big, and too poorly laid out.

It's only when you see a bunch of others running around it that you realise it might be a little bit too big. I can see where to chop it down. Although it would probably be better off starting from scratch now that I know what half the stuff in the sdk does.

I was waiting for the server to empty, but it's not!  Unfortunately I'd have to restart the server which will pretty much kill it for the night, I figured we might as well get some use out of it in the meanwhile.

I was hitting pings of 400-500. IT WAS ASTOUNDING! Especially for the headshots I got in the 5 minutes I got to play on Ivory Tower. I then went off to another server where I got ~300 ping. It was funtastic being second best at that ping.

Just for the official record, I was playing as Ack tonight, a friend of mine in San Antonio who was still on the fence about the Orange Box was playing as Nerf.

I've played several custom maps I thought would be nice to add to the rotation on other severs; I'll send them along when I find them.

Here's my rundown from my notes.

Nuke Map_CTF:  This one was sort of well done, and the gimmick amused people.  Honestly I don't think it makes a great deal of sense but people were enjoying it.  The design itself wasn't really terrible, or perhaps nobody was playing to win by the time it came back around when I was there.

420_CTF:  This was the map where you jump out and there is a big ditch in the middle?  Yeah, I think it is.  I'm not a fan.  2Fort with more sniper luv and a harder base to crack.  No thanks.

420_Orange Map (5cap):  Fuck this stupid map.  I hate it.  Please don't make us ever play it again.

420_Sniper (5cap):  This was fun, even though nobody likes snipers.  We never played it w/ balanced teams so it might stalemate out under that circumstance but this map was fun even though it rendered heavy and soldier completely useless.

Hall of Death_CTF:  I have very very mixed feeling about this, actually we managed to have some fun on this.  I hate it personally but it actually seemed to sort of work out.  I think the lesson should be we should keep looking at tiny CTF maps they have potential but there has to be a better one then this.

OBO's Map_CTF:  This would have been pretty good compared to the other stuff we were playing if the textures and lighting had some work.  There really wasn't much of a gimmick, you could tell it was just a figure it out map.  But it honestly played ok.  The floor texture that was mirrored sucks though, make it go away.   Also the overhead lighting glitched in a few places and I remember the water looking gross.

Classic Well_CTF:  I think this might be worth keeping, although I hope they get rid of the grates or something to ease the one bottleneck problem.  I think in an organized environment it might work itself into a super stalemate map but we did manage to have some fun with it.  Also it gets tons of bonus points from TFC players for being one of the old maps.

So there's my rundown, go me!

Sniping from certain spots on Classic Well is WAY too easy with the poor lighting.

Also, bonus points for still making people attack the switches to open the front door.
