What have you.... 

been playing in the last few years?

I got involved with the City of Heroes beta test and pretty much have played that for the past 4 years. Just this summer I got into the Beta for Global Agenda, which rocks. If you have not seen it, it is worth a look.

Tried Wow, liked it but just didn't have the time to put into it.  Just recently I started playing TF2 and find I enjoy playing it.  Sometimes I do great, other times I feel like a Stormtrooper, shooting walls or getting shot.

Re: What have you.... 

After MW4 died I pretty much stopped playing all PC games.  My PC at the time just couldn't handle anything new and didn't have the money or time to upgrade.  We ended up getting a Wii a couple years ago and started playing that.  My wife and I join a Wii clan, ZapperHereo's, and have played Medal of Honor: Heroe's 2, Call of Duty: World at War, and the new game The Conduit.  Kinda nice being able to play with the wife online.  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is supposedly coming out for the Wii this November, we all can't wait for that since The Conduit kinda bombed as a online game.

Re: What have you.... 

America's Army, Lock On, Falcon 4 Allied Force, Pacific Fighters, MSFS X, Civ 3, AOE 3 & Harpoon 2 (via dosbox).

I see DCS has bought out Black Shark a helicopter flight sim and have been wondering if my low spec PC would run it :P

Re: What have you.... 

Hey guys.  I slowly started to ween myself off the computer and opted to get a Xbox360.  I've been pretty much gaming exclusively on that for the past couple years.  My computer is several years old now so I'm only using it to race in an online league that uses one of the older racing titles. 

I loaded up MW4 and Vengeance a few years ago and played all the way through those.  It really made me want to play with you guys again.  I tried Battlefield 2143 or whatever it was (with the Mechs).  That was a pretty good game but I got bored when everyone started exploiting the weak knees in the Mechs. 

I missed the debut of the Chomehounds game on the Xbox360 but did give the single player side a try a while back.  It was decent but didn't really excite me the way the Battletech universe did.

I'd be game if your guys get something together when this new free version of MW4 comes out.  And if anyone will be getting the Xbox360 version of the MW5 game I'd definitely be up for that too.

Re: What have you.... 

The cross platform thing on Xbox does work but only 3-4 games have been written to use it.  It's one of those promises that is likely to just fade away.  Highly doubtful that it'll be available for Mechwarrior 5.

Fear not though.  My PC just might be up to the task and if so I'd have no problem getting the PC version if that is what everyone will be playing.  I still use the PC for racing games so it might handle a new shooter too.

LOL.  Fear not Mho,  I still race but on a much more casual level.  If this game is anything like that video I'll be here.

Saw this on that IGN interview: 

IGN: The last FASA Interactive title, Shadowrun, featured multiplayer support across the 360 and PC. Will you be looking to do the same within MechWarrior?

Russ Bullock:
Absolutely. I mean, we don't have a lot of details at this point, but we've talked about it; we've talked about it very lightly. I don't see any reason at this point why that wouldn't be possible. So it would definitely be a large goal of ours to make that work for both co-op and multiplayer. That would be great. It'd be fabulous.
 

Perhaps there is hope that a cross platform thing will happen for that game.  That would be great but voice communications might be compromised with that.  I'd rather talk with you guys so I'll have to research that very carefully before deciding to get the Xbox version.  On the plus side, the game is supposed to be Unreal 3 powered and that engine works pretty well on my current rig.  I'll start an upgrade fund now just in case I need to get this baby upgraded to run it.

Re: What have you.... 

I think I tried the Crysis demo once on my machine and found that we some of the detail turned down and a lower resolution I was able ot run it pretty well.  I think I'll be able to make it work.  My machine is several years old but it is a dual core AMD and I do have 2GB RAM and an ATI X1800 video card.  Pretty below average by todays standards but not totally incapable.

I do have a Wii that I play sometimes, just seems that most days end up going by quickly that I don't have time to game.

Re: What have you.... 

Goofed around with BF2 and BF2142 a bit then picked up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for $10 and have been playing that for fun.

No league play or anything I really cared about since MW4.
