Hi, I'm James but people call me Lurch (I'm 6'4 and don't talk much). I enjoy playing Fifa, Rocket League and Call of Duty. Nice to meet you all!

So I relocated from the original blue Man Cave when Al came home and ended up here..... Not great and, in the end, I thought "Sod it!" and threw the spare bed out. A quick purchase on Amazon got me a pair of Cat 7 (Yeah, I know, overkill but shielded and future proof) cables and a visit to Screwfix for the rest of the mini trunking etc and the project was underway.... Off with the old single socket and on with a new double with USB ports.... A visit to the local second hand office furniture outlet with some reddies and we're good to go... Rip the kit out of the alcove and bring it upstairs - the nice thing is I've cable managed the desk properly with a cable basket and (pipe) clips so there are no trailing cables on the floor to catch my feet which is a great improvement.... As you can see I still have to share the space with the ironing board and bedroom furniture but it's a massive improvement..... Next up, I'm waiting for a parcel from Scan, unfortunately already 3 days late and not picked yet, with the first component upgrade...stay tuned!!

Hell yes dude! Looks like a good one again! I'll just take this moment though to say this has been a revelation of late. I'm not sure how we ended up where we are but we've all seemed to have such a good laugh, and along with this ended up in Division 3!?! I mean, I would've been happy around Div 8 just having some good chuckles about how awesome a cruching tackle is or someones amazing header thats hit the corner flag but we're also playing amazing alongside all the good laughs. Credit to everyone for jumping in and also switching around different positions. Its typified why FG is the way it is. I'm starting to believe we can buck the trend of these sweaty bastards on FIFA and make it into Division 1 playing the way we do and having the more laughs than any other club. I'm hopeful to find some time to get some recordings of some great laughs of us all along the way too. Let's keep this going and whenever you all fancy more games on a future night, stick something up and keep it rolling. GGFGFC all @Dan94 @jordie1892 @LordBaguette @Macca89 @Lurch @G_dub52 @TonyAE86 @Findmartin @ChaosGladiator @Glen11 @MikeyMoir See you tonight at Monday Night Football folks!

It's amazing how many people are doing this, particularly YouTubers. Reverse Boosting is when you have a side account with tanked stats (below 0.50 k/d) in which you join session with your main on a formed lobby and then back-out with your side account. You are basically in a exceptionally weak lobby with your main account being the end result. It's so blatant and the quality of the content produced is absolutely embarrassing - even recruit bot matches are more of a challenge and livelier. Here is the most infamous example which is absolutely cringeworthy to watch especially when the dude tries to be overly dramatic:- COD YouTuber ExclusiveAce put out a funny video after trying this tactic and this was the end result:- This is borderline cheating really. These players are incredibly bad at the game and this could be down to age, general ability or even a disability and the last thing they need is some sweaty cancer content creator to obliterate the lobby and shame them in the process. Considering how strict SBMM is in COD now, it's farcical that such a simple and effective loophole exists. Activision however get paid off twice for this to happen so I wouldn't expect it to be plugged at all. If you're ever watching a video and you see a 3 k/d player posting a score of 100-0 you know exactly what they've done to get it.

If you end up with like Corsair/SteeelSeries, why not adjust the RGB profile to not be RGB all the time? (Also, commenting to remind myself to dig around)

Great job! Looks awesome, much improved.

Lose strict Sbmm lose reverse boosting otherwise it's here to stay simple. At least anyone with half a brain cell knows what's going on. Still no idea why people watch or donate to these fools 🤦

Also I know Tony suggested it but I did'nt get to join in the end but did you play a cup? or maybe thats something we could look at too abit more? Could do with stocking the FG trophy cabinet 🤙

Yeah it's pretty disgusting imo. The bracket of people that they are trying to protect ends up getting washed with these sharks out for high kill gameplays, nukes etc. Still tho, not that I'm defending these YouTubers. But that is their living and income. You fuck with that, then they will find a way to exploit it. If SBMM wasn't as harsh as it is then they wouldn't have to resort to such slimy tactics. People of all Skill levels grumble about SBMM. It makes the game too competitive for the average and above average player. All the pro players can't maintain a 2kd, what does that tell you? Nobody wants to sweat everygame, it's just not fun. The average player is way more skilled these days. The bar is set higher than ever before. Because how well MW did, Activision will continue to keep it jacked up. There isn't much inventive to improve. You will get punished by what feels like playing Vs Scump and his mates if you have a run of good games. Gone are the days when you could hold your own in a lobby, but have to compete Vs 1 absolute beast on the enemy team. Eventually over time you could almost improve enough to compete. But you died plenty and learnt a lot over time. Thus making you a more well rounded player.

Okay, so from the three daily races this week, two are for one make cars that probably no-one has, but there is a decent Gr.4 race at Brands Hatch so I'll add that to the calendar. Also, I tested tyres and fuel for the Gr.1 race. It's an 8 lap race and fuel will last 4 laps. Some cars might need to manage fuel to get 4 laps. Strategies for Gr.1 will be to either do a one stop, for fuel and tyres, or possibly a two stop, where you only use the mediums for one lap and come back in to change to super soft. The difference in lap time between super soft and medium tyres do make this a viable option. I also tried a few different cars, best laptime was a 1:58 but most were around the 2 minute mark. I'm looking forward to it😎

Indeed, as I've probably said elsewhere, if I didn't have a PC, I'd pick up the new Xbox and gamepass. Prices of new gen games are only feasible to buy in a sale 6 months after release, so the game pass is a no brainer.

Hey y’all! Names Justin. Been apart of FG for awhile but have been dealing with some deeply personal things this past year or so. Finally in a better place mentally and all around so I’m back on my destiny grind and looking to be more socially inclined. Love me some Assassins Creed and looking forward to CyberPunk. HmU on PSN @ Academi-7. Previously Warloch

oh man that got me @J4MES OX4D 🤣 Whats going on Sebba?! @ChaosGladiator

Great trolling from Roy Keane🤣

Signed up the other day. Some fun stuff on there. I'm on PC, but it gives me a chance to try some stuff out, and then there's a discount on purchase if it's something I'd keep wanting to play.

Welcome in James 👍 see you on the pitch!

I've finally reached Level 100 and prestige 3 which is the pre-season max in around 35 hours. Wasn't expecting to manage this but this double exp week and a few games of Nuketown has helped. My reward is a poxy 3 prestige shop keys which will probably unlock me some shitty emotes, a skin and some garbage player card. Glad I reached this milestone though and it's probably the furthest I've gone in a COD for a very long time but I'm not sure how much I will commit myself to the game once season one kicks off. I'm not as decent as I was back in the day but I've gone toe to toe with some ridiculous G-Fueled sweats loaded with Doritos and Mountain Dew so it's not too bad and my W/L is pretty good especially as I've only played solo. I'll probably have a break from the game now as I've seen all there is to see - may still have the odd-match now and then over the next ten days but the lack of content is disappointing to say the least.

Welcome james. If you ever fancy a game on rocket league or Cod drop me a message but i only have modern ware fare at the moment.

We going again tomorrow night? 😄

Loved this video from Nero, hit the nail on the head on every point:

I wish I recorded this live as the POTG as it looked fucking incredible

Welcome to the forum.

Nice to meet ya James! So what CODs are you into? Modern Warfare or Warzone? Have you got Black Ops Cold War? Whatcha make of it?

That looks fucking epic @Plumbers Crack 😍 You've done a great job there, very nice man🤗

Old thread, but I just picked this up yesterday on the Steam sale. You can get the game with all DLC and a remastered copy of AC III for under $30. So far, I'm enjoying the story and the game play mechanics. I haven't played AC since III, and I never finished it.

Hi James, hope you enjoy your stay 👍

Fingers crossed my lol.

Welcome aboard Justin, we're all hoping CyberPunk turns out to be a really great game. Looking good so far👍

Welcome James, you'll find plenty of COD players here and there's also FIFA Mondays if you check the calendar🙂

Last night I went 55-19 on Miami with 27 DOM objectives and a 9 killstreak to boot and still finished 5th on my team😎

Great match this one Been playing Nuketown constantly and at this rate I'm gonna look forward to playing on Miami🤣

Good idea Lee, let me see what I can sort

Apologies, missed the s off the end...but you had way more 'assist assists' than assists. You can blame @Dan94 and @jordie1892 for that 🤣

Leveling has been pretty easy. I'm getting objective games with over 40 kills so its quite helpfull to get a decent gun what way

Me after a few games on Nuketown It's only taking a couple of games to level playing on this map with DXP enabled.

Well like I was saying assault pack gives more score. A 50p ekia assist turns into 75p. A full kill 100p elimination is 125p. Also the confirmed tags are more than the denied tags. And Ekia is a mixture of 50p or 100p elimination kills. Small things like running UAV/cuav churn extra score. And usage of equipment like field mic/jammer earn 15 score if an ally kills an enemy with that in use. I believe it's a combo of all the things I've mentioned between my 2 posts.

Don't try to understand what happens with cod there is literally no point.

A few things spring to mind. Obviously longer streak multipliers. If they shoot streaks down, UAVs are 100, attack heli/chopper etc 300 score. Also ammo pack gives more score per kill and ally ekia. Also if you picked up a lot of blue tags denied they are worth less. Probably a combination of all these.

Least they've made it look somewhat different for a change 😄

I don't do presents, my kids have had their money, I found that letting them buy their own stuff once they got to a certain age was easy for me and better for them, me and the wife don't really do all the usual birthday, anniversary Xmas stuff. However I usually go thirds on my parents gift but this year they're getting an IOU. Personally I'd settle for an end to this covid bullshit.

I'm at the point where I've given up and just get people giftcards if they don't have specific wishes 😅 Personally I'll be ordering the FG hoodie as an xmas gift to myself. Also pre-ordered Cyberpunk the other day for an early xmas present 😉

I am buying myself an Ekster wallet: Love the design individuals cards click and cascade out that you want. Plus can buy a tracker if you want Parliament Wallet | Leather RFID Blocking Wallet EKSTER.COM Ultra-Slim Parliament RFID Wallets for Men. Easy card access and room for 10+ cards/cash. Maximum storage & security with this RFID Protection Wallet!

Sounds good! I haven’t played the alpha or beta so no clue about it, MW really killed my love for CoD as it was so god dam slow paced!

Well to be totally honest, it's a decent game and fun to play. But having a small selection of maps on launch makes it feel like you get some of them too often in rotation. The guns take ages to level up xp to unlock challenges and to get gold. A lot of guns go up to level 55. It seems to take forever past level 30. The Sbmm is extremely thick imo and sometimes it feels like you are punished for having a few good games in a row. Overall I'm enjoying it for the most part. Feels like an older cod like BO1/2. They will add more maps, apparently Nuketown coming next week. Guns will level up, just takes time. As more content gets added I'm sure it will get better. Definitely a bit buggy at times, but they already released a patch 1 week in to iron out some of these. I think the game will be smoother over time. If your used to MW, the feel of Cold War is very different. Not sure if you played the Alpha or Beta? Fov slider on console is pretty sweet. No claymores or masses of doors or windows. Maps are smaller, more options to run and gun etc. Primary gunfighter wildcard allows a 7 attachment gun which is interesting. Perk greed allows 2 of each perk, so 6 in total. Lots of potential and options the game has to offer. Depends on what kind of experience your after. Does have that old school arcade shooter cod feel. Not gonna lie tho, some matches are very sweaty. You would swear there was money on the line and CDL Champ Finals were getting played.

That's a lot of content, like said I would welcome some of the remakes just to bulk out the selection. But I agree with you, less firing range/jungle/summit etc. Some of the other maps would slot in nicely. There was some great maps on BO1, BO2 had some good maps too. Still haven't heard anyone hate Standoff. MW2 maps are classic. Yeah I was on Xbox back then too haha! I'm not entirely sure, we have folk who play the game. Don't think many have grouped up yet. I heard the party chat is a bit iffy. I'm on PS4 and can play some. But depending on timezones etc. I've recently had a baby and working so my gaming time is very uncertain. I will hop on for an hour or 2 if I get the chance.

Is there an FG clan for this game?
