Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 96

I'm hoping they fix it soon, would have thought they would. Writing a review for it soon so that's going to be a big focus on the negative side of things.

They've said the update will fix the slow joining times (it's a bug in the maths they use to balance trueskill/latency/preferences, doesn't scale very well it seems), but nobody's really admitted there's a problem with disconnects so who knows what'll happen there.

I'm also interested to see how the update works on Vista. Hoping its the same as the 360, ie, prompted at sign in to Live.

Fingers crossed then

Oooh this Project Syphleed sounds like it has Claudia Black in it. Shame the rest of the voice acting seems terrible. I'd prefer a sub'd version.

I really enjoyed the demo of it. I quite liked zipping through walls and nicking the artefact. Can't justify buying it however as Armored Core 4 is out next week and I really want that. I'm a big mech fan

I dont use strangle enough really. Good to cast while you're reloading, particularly in defence scenarios like that.

Haly · 15-06-2007, 18:49

I do sometimes but not often, and only usually to block things off. Should use it more offensively I think. Was an interesting video to watch

I never use quick cast so might have to try that.

Daz · 15-06-2007, 18:53

I use it all the time for Tree of Life in particular. Hold B, hold stick left and pull right trigger. Saved me from bleeding out many a time being quick to cast that.

It would be nice if I could call EV from there, but sadly you cant. There's a few things that rotate around my RB slot depending on how the game is going, but typically it's EV. LB is always revive, and LT grenade but teleport goes there if the need arises (because if I'm teleporting I'm normally aiming for close combat).

I just stick with rez in left trigger, lb nade, rb is smartlink or some random thing when the mood takes me.
I might try an elf ninja build sometime though and sneak round with smoke all the time
