I finally got back to COD United Offensive and I'm having fun. I've had it installed for a long time but had only played to the first checkpoint. I noticed the difficulty is up a bit from COD but I think playing Area 51 may have tarnished my skills a bit. I'm not very far into it but I have hit a snag on this one part so I'm taking a little break, making this short blog and then going to try some more. I also took the time to update my now playing list. I have been neglecting it for a while, ever since the Latest Additions tab has been screwed up. If your wondering, yes I still play Tron 2.0 and I'm on my second run through of Hitman 2. I'm trying to get that coveted Silent Assassin rating but it's proving much more difficult than I had expected.

I just finished the section in CODUO where you have to snipe the panzerfaust anti tank units (named weapon used) from a bell tower. I died a few times on that part and now I'm stuck on the next part that has you crossing a bridge in search of a hidden tank. It seems like a no brainer. Fight across the bridge, snipe some machine gunners and move "somewhere" find the tank and blow it up, but I keep getting my *** handed to me as soon as I get to the trench on the other side of the bridge. I've tried just running headlong in guns a blazing, hanging back and sniping for a while then moving cautiously up, moving up and taking up a defensive position in the trench on the other side of the road, then moving up. I might try going back to the bell tower level and picking up some differnt weapons and see is that helps. It's a bit frustrating but I refuse to drop down to weenie.. ahem I mean greenhorn level and I'm not yet flustered enough to resort to a walkthrough. I'll get past it. Just needed a break and to post a little mini rant about it. :)

That's all for now.
