I was watching in horror. It happens in Mario Kart sometimes, where you try to fight the slow pull of gravity with all your might.

Yeah, you lost an infantry guy that way too. It took a long time for you to come back it felt, were you fighting it?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #152 on:** June 28, 2009, 04:01:07 PM »

LULZ I WAS SWIMMING

I eventually switched to a different guy, allowing the swimmer to automatically find his way back to my group.

The friendly AI in this series is darn smart and people don't give this game credit for it.

Stratos · « **Reply #153 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:14:11 PM »

I don't think a lot of people gave this game much credit. But it is a top notch production. The only things that could have made it better would have been WiiSpeak support (which wasn't possible at the time) and more multilayer levels.

Local multiplayer. That's what this game needed.

Stratos · « **Reply #155 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:22:00 PM »

LAN, maybe. But I don't think this type of game would have been condusive to spit screen play. Too much you need to keep track of.

Mop it up · « **Reply #156 on:** June 28, 2009, 05:27:40 PM »

It would work fine, especially co-op.
Let the players decide if they want to use it.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #157 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:59:45 AM »

I don't think so at all. I need all the viewing space I can get. I play at medium zoom most of the time. The addition of same-room communication doesn't make up for hurting one's play by splitting/shrinking the view. The HUD already takes up an uncomfortable amount of real estate in full or widescreen.

Stratos · « **Reply #158 on:** June 29, 2009, 04:54:32 AM »

So does anyone want to play some more this next week? I'm going to try and get through more of the campaign since I only played about 3 missions before diving into the online with y'all, but I'd love to try ang get a few more S ranks or face off.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #159 on:** June 29, 2009, 12:49:54 PM »

Tue/Wed evening looks good for me.

Stratos · « **Reply #160 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:46:02 PM »

OK, we can shoot for one of those days.

Here's a few clips from the Wi-Fi nights:

Up until 2:46 is with Flames_of_Chaos and everything after that is with Stratos.

Probably not. I don't really like to play the vs. modes and I'm sure everyone would rather play co-op with somebody who knows what they're doing.

Stratos · « **Reply #162 on:** June 29, 2009, 08:08:04 PM »

Oops. Ha ha. We didn't do very well that time.

I enjoyed playing with you, Mop it up. I like the co-op.

Mop it up · « **Reply #163 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:23:58 PM »

You don't mind playing co-op with somebody who doesn't know what they're doing? You did see the video I posted right?

Though maybe if I play the co-op missions enough then I'd learn from experience and be able to figure out how to get an S-rank. Switching armies every time you restart a mission can be disorienting though...

Stratos · « **Reply #164 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:42:51 PM »

I was just as clueless as you. I think I got those S ranks with Pro because he carried us to victory. Plus I am learning. Remember I only got the game a day or two before the event started.

We can learn together.

I agree they are disorienting when you switch. I noticed that when we failed missions it always took us three times to win. Possibly because we don't know what we are doing on the first mission at all, on the second we see what we needed to destroy the first time because we are being killed by it this time since we switched so on our third try we knew what to focus on to keep our partner alive.

I might have something going on early Tuesday night that could keep me away until about 10PM Pacific Time, but Wednesday is all clear for me.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #165 on:** July 01, 2009, 03:47:01 PM »

I'll put some time in today but it won't be as much as the last weekend.

Stratos · « **Reply #166 on:** July 01, 2009, 03:59:56 PM »

I won't be on until this evening. I have a couple important things I have to do before I can sit down for some BWii action. I'll probably skip Conduit entirely today.

Stratos · « **Reply #167 on:** July 01, 2009, 09:14:29 PM »

When did you want to play, Pro?

I'm available whenever you are.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #168 on:** July 01, 2009, 09:35:51 PM »

10min

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #169 on:** July 01, 2009, 10:02:05 PM »

10MIN ALREADY PASSED

Stratos · « **Reply #170 on:** July 01, 2009, 10:06:38 PM »

Sorry, I was elsewhere on the internets. I'm logging on now.

Stratos · « **Reply #171 on:** July 01, 2009, 10:14:33 PM »

Connection issues?

You left and it said you went off and on and back off line.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #172 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:31:30 PM »

No more issues.

Thanks for the S.

And I just wanted to give you more taste of Assault. Crazy, huh?

Stratos · « **Reply #173 on:** July 01, 2009, 11:33:37 PM »

Woot! Two more S ranks!

Though that first try with the battlestation was kind of sad. I didn't realize I was dieing until it was too late.

I won an assault too! Though that one when I was the attacker was hard. I felt like I didn't have enough time.

Good gaming.

I like the assault.

Different game but I enjoyed the assault missions in Timesplitters 2 as well.
