Afghanistan huh?

Well today, cousin was deployed to Afghanistan with the rest of his unit in the Royal Marines. He's been training real hard to join the Royal Marines and he passed with flying colours, it's been a real ambition for him to join them and this career path has had him occupied & focused almost all his life.

The last i saw of him was 3 months ago, so i hope all goes well for him out there and that he is safe throughout the next 6 months while he's out there! Good luck Cuz!

Level 48 - Mr. Domino!!

I haven't done a level blog in sometime, but i wanted to do one now because i hit Level 48... Mr. Domino! Which has been one of my favorite level names taken from the game "No One Can Stop Mr. Domino" on the PlayStation.

I'll only be this level for about a week though because i'll then hit 49:P

GameSpot US Bad Company 2 Game Night!

So last night was the GameSpot US game night with Bad Company 2 being the chosen game. I joined the PS3 game night hosted by Tom McShea, but with me being in the UK i had to wait till 1am to join!:o Bit extreme i know, but i was still awake at that time (like usual) so i thought i'll join since i've been having a blast with the game since it's launch.

I think i did very well thoughout the night, and even got my final pin!:D I don't recall us lossing any matches, except the 1st which last about 10 seconds (we joined late) and Tom got owned in those 10 seconds:P

Anywho! Here's an image from one of my rounds, i feel the k/d was good and i even beat my points from one of my previous blogs!:D

BFBC2 Online Update & Rant!

So you all by now should realise that i've been playing BFBC2! So far i'm loving and haven't found an online game so fun since i started it back on Resistance: Fall of Man.

But today i had a good thrash through the online (did a bit of campaign too) and here's a comparison of my stats over the last 24 hours:

Yesterday:

Today:

Few other stats:

Skill Rating: 308

Veteran Status: 1 (should be higher, but the website is down)


So as you can see, it's all starting to go up again. My K/D ratio was killed when i was trying to get the Demolition Man Trophy (see last blog) but now that's out the way, i can focus on building it all again:) Hopefully get it to 2.00+.


RANT:

My last number of games were Squad Deathmatches, which we all won. I teamed up with some American dude who i got on with and we worked as a team until some idiot came along a ruined some parts of the game for us. For instance me and the American player were in a tank and it took a few hits and was low on health, so i drove to a quite area so i could repair it whilst the other player covered me.... great idea huh? However another player on our squad came running over hopped in the tank just as i was about to repair it and drove off!:evil: Seriously wtf man! And coming to think about it, it happened twice today except the other time i was on my own.

Can't some players work as a team or open their eyes to see what's going on once in a while!

Other than that, it was quite a good day online, execpt for one other major issue which i'm not even going to begin talking about.

Finally Unlocked BFBC2 Demolition Man Trophy!

Ohhhhh yeah!8) This trophy requirement has had me both laughing and getting seriously ****ed off over the last few days!:evil:

Those of you who have the game should know how annoying this trophy/achievement is to unlock! Basically you have to kill 20 enemies by destroying builds and crushing them in the ruins, but here's the pros & cons:

The annoying parts about this trophy/achievement is:

  1. Getting killed by the enemy in the building you want to destroy.
  2. Getting killed by an enemy lurking close by out of the house.
  3. Accidently killing the enemy in the house when trying to destroy a wall.
  4. Having a team mate either running inside the building you are trying to destroy or snipe him.
  5. Whilst the building is collapsing, the enemy manages to jump to safety.

What made me laughing about this trophy/achievement is:

  1. Watching the helpless enemy meet a nasty end in the falling building
  2. Destroying a building which you believe to have an enemy in and instead getting a triple kill!
  3. Destroying a building, then watch a stupid team mate run in and died, sure it's -15 points to you but it's funny watching someone else misfortune!

For the record i got this legitimately, not by boosting which people are trying to do/have done.

Battlefield Online Screenshot!

Well i was playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 today, and in a few games i completely owned! People say that pictures tell a thousand words, so this one speaks for itself:P
