Gamertag in profile

Link2000 · 10-07-2004, 06:13 PM

I pretty much only play Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Crimson Skies at the moment.

You'll see me on Halo 2 a lot once it comes out, and probably Unreal Championship 2 as well.

My gamertag is Zeipher7. If you already have me on, I had to get a new account so you'll have to update.

Nick · 10-07-2004, 09:18 PM

Gamertag: Nikolii

Games:
Crimson Skies
Madden 2005
ESPN NFL 2k5
Wolfenstein
MechAssault
PGR 2
Rallisport 2
Amped 2
Ghost Recon
Rainbow 6 III

Mostly only playing on Crimson Skies and the football games right now though. Everything else seems to have died

MercuryCrusader · 10-08-2004, 12:15 AM

Crimson Skies, though I haven't played it recently. I'm pre-occupied trying to get my groove back on Street Fighter III on the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection. Man, either I really suck at SFIII or I really have to stop using joke characters, because Sean is a hard character to use, not to mention I'm crap with parrying.

I'll also play Capcom vs. SNK 2, though I've almost entirely stopped playing that online due to lack of people online. If anybody still plays that game, give me a shout-out. My GamerTag is "MercuryCrusader". HOLY CRAP, WHAT A SUPRISE!

I'm also planning on getting SVC Chaos and Guilty Gear X2, so... I guess I won't see any of you on that game!

I'd play FPS on Xbox Live, but you know, I have UT2004 on this here PC I'm typing on, so I'm good. Hell, I have Battlefield 1942. That's unlimited sniper fun right there!

Chronos · 10-08-2004, 12:26 AM

When I get my next paycheck, I'm going to buy Guilty Gear X2 at my store. They're selling it for $20.

Nick · 11-02-2004, 02:15 PM

I stopped playing Madden online because of all of the glitching and EA's refusal to address any problems. I've been playing Crimson Skies like a madman though, mostly at night from about 9pm Central till 2 or 3ish Central (depending when i go to bed and/or how much work i have to do that night).

PenguinMan · 11-02-2004, 02:49 PM

I just got it a week ago, and I've mostly been playing Guilty Gear XX and PSO. I do have Crimson Skies, although I'm going to play through the game before I take anyone on on-line.

Gamertag: StormWatch04

Nick · 11-02-2004, 03:11 PM

Good idea. Try to get past the Navaho trials before going online.

Curtis Bonds · 12-28-2004, 08:47 PM

Just got it yesterday. So far, I only have Halo 2 and Crimson Skies. My gamertag is ********85.

PenguinMan · 12-29-2004, 02:17 PM

Game update: Same name, new stuff

DDR Ultramix 2 (although I doubt I'll play anyone from here...)
Crimson Skies (I beat it, and I'm currently a 3-dot rank online)
Burnout 3 (I'm borrowing this, so I don't know how much longer I'll have it)
Project Gotham Racing 2
Halo 2 (Sometimes)

Nick · 12-29-2004, 02:29 PM

^Make sure you download the Crimson Skies content before attempting to play anyone. That's 4 planes (fury, hellhound, vampire, firebrand), 3 maps (Caverns, plateau, badlands), and 2 gametypes (Chickenpox, gun heist).

DarthButcher · 12-30-2004, 04:42 PM

I just got my Box and I am setting up Live later. My gamertag will probably be DBthatsme or DarthButcher.

Compatible games:
Halo 2

Link2000 · 12-30-2004, 07:40 PM

I can't stand people on Crismon Skies who don't download. Make sure that you do.

Nick · 12-31-2004, 06:58 AM

The worst ones are the ones that pop in, start blinking and scream (generally in a high pitched voice). This is the actual transcript from a conversation i had in a room i hosted last night:

Quote:

I DID DOWNLOAD LALALA!.

NO. YOU'RE MISSING THE FURY AND CAVERNS. SCROLL DOWN ON THE LIST.

NO I DOWNLOADED EVERYTHING LALALALALA

Hey kid, do you like waffles?

YES WAFFLES ARE GOOD!

Then waffle your ass on outta here and download.
*BOOT*

Like, I'll tell someone where to go to download it, and be nice about it at first. I understand people just got it and they're running on and everything. But, when you're an ass or don't listen, you get booted.

If you play crimson, send me an invite and I'll set up a game and actually get some of you good at it.

Nick · 12-31-2004, 07:07 AM

Hey L2000, I think i accidentally took you off when i was clearing out some of the older tags on my list. I sent you an invite.

If anyone wants to add me, the tag is Nikolii

Just either post here or sent a voice message through the dashboard letting me know who you are or I'll likely ignore you.

PenguinMan · 12-31-2004, 11:46 AM

Of course, I have all the content. Fortunately, I had a friend who told me I needed to get it, so that helped, but still, I would've figured it out eventually.

Now a four-dot rank.

Link2000 · 12-31-2004, 08:32 PM

I never figured out how the ranks worked. Is it 1,2,3,4 dots and then the star?

PenguinMan · 12-31-2004, 08:43 PM

Yeah, that seems to be it. I'm surprised I went up so fast in rank, but I did pretty well in most of the games I played. Doppelganger liek whut.

Nick · 01-01-2005, 03:32 PM

You start as a 3-dot. Most people move down to 1 or 2 dots, but a few move up to 4-dots. After 4-dot is a star. The star is based on your top-ace score, meaning you essentially have to kill more than your die.

Granted, that's the rough estimate. The scoring system is based on several factors. If you shoot down someone ranked higher than you, you get more points. If you shoot down someone who's ranked lower than you, you get fewer points. You lose points every time you get shot down. However, if you get shot down by someone ranked higher, you lose fewer points (just like they gain fewer points), and if you get shot down by someone worse than you, you lose more points.

Each game has its own scoreboard. The Dogfight one is based completely around kill/death ratio, except in teams where there's a whole multiplier worked into it. Generally, team dogfight isn't something you play to work on your stats, as the only time i can make any improvements in the ladder is if i go like 2-8 and win decisively, since you get a high score modifier for being on the uneven team. The non-dogfight games give you higher scores for doing things for that particular game (ie: running the chicken/flag, holding the booty/gun, etc).

Generally, the star is based on your top-ace score, and you have to get in the top 10% to get it.
