Yep, never had problems with anything else before this.

My username is HamsterOfFury and he's a handsome, no nonsense kinda guy.

The newest patch took about 8 minutes to download with 16 peers.

I found it horribly tricky and chunky to begin with but went into training, tried a few things out and it's definitely a grower (Y)

Aye, when enough of us are up to speed with the controls and that, we will have a blast. For a few more days. >_>

[Vilge Duin]

My name's the same, as I use for everything.

Played a bit. Eh, don't know if I like it.

The hit detection is absolute shit. And the controls are clunky, with aiming and such too slow.

I can imagine MGS 4 will be brilliant, but if they intend this multiplayer to be even comparable to other stuff out there (on the PS3 alone, Call of Duty 4 and Warhawk) they need to work on that hit detection and tighten up the controls.

And is there any way possible to recover health. Nothing's worse than walking around after killing two guys and effectively being a sitting duck.

But we must get an EWB game going. Must.

[LL!]

So I heard there was a way to get a voucher code without pre-ordering the game? Any info on that?

Europeans don't need a number, so your best bet is to ask Duin. >_>

[Kwanzabot]

Argh. So my internet stopped working temporarily, and I thought it would make sense to restart download of 1.02 as it just wasn't moving. Then when it wouldn't log me in, I thought "Shit, I've gone wrong here. I'm gonna have to reinstall the game."

So now, 5 hours later, I've reconnected my net, and I am on 2% of 1.01. This is most displeasing. You guys are lucky.

[Vilge Duin]

Muwahaha.

Was playing team death match, was down to me and some other guy against 3 other dudes who were all my former team mates the previous few games... We worked quite well as a cohesive team always staying together and taking out the other team.

Since I knew how they operated though I knew precisely where they would be on Bloodbath. Low and behold there they were moving together. One grenade as a decoy a rolling dive onto the middle section and three consecutive headshots later, I won the round with not a second to spare.

After growing used to the controls for the most part, they don't bother me too much (admittedly I am too used to other games. And the hit detection has somehow improved. I suppose I can chalk the earlier horridness up to lag with so many people on.

So I heard there was a way to get a voucher code without pre-ordering the game? Any info on that?

Some EBs, Gamestops and Best Buy have been randomly giving out their pre-order stock. Otherwise there's no real way to get it in North America.

You could always email the Konami customer service and try to bullshit them saying you got a 9 digit code.

Or ask CKN, he said on the previous page he has an extra.

[Edit:] But holy shit... I looked at the rankings. There's guys already in the few thousand range of kills in some of the modes. Sheesh.

Attention CKN: Extra Code Please

[Vilge Duin]

Overall rank of 346 in Base and 304 in Capture with an Eagle title for 'Headshot Master'.

Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

More EWBites need to be on and play dagnabbit.

If I get chance to get the Tv, I would. >_>

[Mattman]

Didn't even bother looking yesterday as I thought it would be delayed again. But I have the second patch. My username is mattman103. But I can't play it yet due to "High levels of traffic"

[Kaney]

Is that your PSN name? Because the name you play with is a new one you register in game, bizarrely.

[Mattman]

I thought we'd be using the Game IDs we got when we registered with Konami ID. But I probably will end up with mattman103 though.

But yeah it is the same.

[9 to 5]

Anyone playing tonight?

[Vilge Duin]

I'll probably pop onto it in an hour or so from now if anyone else may or may not be on.

[9 to 5]

I might be on, but drunk. >_>

EDIT - Add me if and when you egt on. Game name - 925.

[Vilge Duin]

I tried adding ya, but it won't let me.

Maybe Europe and North America can't play on the same servers?

I tried sending a message and even a player search, nothing came up. Bah.

[9 to 5]

Servers are down for me anyway. :/

[9 to 5]

Created a clan, EWB. Fucked if I know how to invite people. Just try joining. >_>
