Firstly I had my now-weekly session of Team Fortress 2 on the 360. Technical issues marred this week's games but generally it was enjoyable, no messing about, scored points, wasn't at the bottom of the list (unless I picked a class I wasn't comfortable with), and came away feeling good.
I then agreed to join a game of Left 4 Dead, also on the 360. Haven't played this since before Christmas and was a tad rusty, but the game doesn't demand too much of you, not on Normal difficulty anyway, and whilst I was the only one not to make it onto the chopper at the end (got caught on the edge of the ramp by a Tank) it was all good clean fun and we worked well together.
At this point I should point out I was playing with people from the RLLMUK forums, and a decent bunch they are, generally.
Bouyed up by my enjoyment thus far I thought I'd round off the evening with another go on Battlefield 2 - third time unlucky. I found a server that only let low-ranking players on, and I thought this would make things easier, it didn't. Once again I was lost, couldn't locate my team-mates, would get killed by people I couldn't see - generally frustrating.
I'll stick with this server though and hopefully this will enable me to at least have a go without getting too annoyed. The main problem was whilst everything else has a massive glowing marker above it, enemy stuff doesn't, so although I managed to 'spot' an enemy tank (you use a key to warn other players of it), I'd never see enemy troops coming at me.
Right, I'm tired, it's very very late, I'm off to bed.

Glad you had fun on Left 4 Dead despite the TF2 problems.
ReplyDeleteYou know you should probably spend more time on Battlefeld 2 single-player before venturing more online, I think you feel you have to rush ahead, games are for enjoyment hon. ;)
You're probably right, get a feel for the maps, know how they all work. It's the toughest online shooter to get that I've encountered.
