I think some game companies should release remastered versions bundled with the new game every release. Extra money for them, old angry gamers stay happy.

So I am expecting it to some extent also, I want to believe the game was made on PC, but I think this will be a PC port which could lead to loads of bugs. We also have to consider PC players love to break things so we could see some epic glitches.

Oh man, AOE2, War Elephants were the most OP thing in the world.

I think one of my favorite things about it is this should be less resource intensive as it's all in game rendering for the most part. They should be able to pump these out quicker than cinematic. I also LOVED the looney toons, classic cartoon music in the back when it would look to Roadhog.

Blizzard? That tiny third party? I think they will be okay.

Get ready for aggressive breaches and trap-heavy defenses when Operation Blood Orchid comes to Rainbow Six Siege. Three new Operators are bringing three new gadgets to the field, and we got a chance to try all of them out on the new Theme Park map. Here’s a rundown of what the new Operators can do and some tips on how to make the most of their new tricks. Let’s start with the lone attacker: Ying from the Hong Kong CTU. She brings a trio of Candela devices—small spheres that shoot flash charges into the air and blind anyone nearby, with one exception. Ying herself wears special glasses that make her immune to her own flashes, so while your enemies are laying low or blindly firing until the flash wears off, you can rush in and clear them out. Candelas can be thrown like grenades, but they have a few other deployment options that open up some intriguing strategies. Instead of simply tossing one, you can hold the button down to cook it before release. There are three lights on the Candela that will progressively light up; for each one lit, the Candela will roll along the ground for a little bit longer before firing off flashes. You can roll it under barricades or through drone holes, allowing you to flash the room before the enemy knows where you’re breaching from or to reach far corners where defenders are holed up. Alternatively, you can “Fuze” the Candela by deploying it on a breachable surface so it fires the flashes into the room on the other side. Cooking your release here will set an increasingly long delay timer, allowing you to get in position to make your move. Candelas are vulnerable to destruction, so if you set off a breach charge too close or fire through the barricade prematurely, you might foil your own plan. But time it properly, and you’ll have a room full of flashed opponents waiting to be gunned down by Ying’s shotgun or LMG. On the other side of the barricades, Blood Orchid is bringing two new defenders that make infiltration more perilous. First up is Lesion, from the Hong Kong CTU, who packs throwable Gu mines that deploy on the floor and stick any attacker who steps on them with a poison needle. Getting stuck causes visual distortion—sort of a swampy, queasy filter—and does damage over time as the needle remains in your leg. Attackers can either fight through the disorientation and take the damage, or they can follow the on-screen prompt to remove the needle from their leg, lowering their gun and leaving themselves vulnerable in the process. Unless you’re using I.Q.’s electronics detector, you can forget about watching your step; Gu mines are cloaked and all-but-invisible to anyone but Lesion. Lesion can see a small icon above each deployed trap, and keeping an eye on those icons can help you respond quickly when one is triggered. He deploy a total of seven mines, but it takes a little while to do so. Lesion doesn’t start with a full complement of traps; he acquires them as time passes. The cooldown timer on-screen shows you how many you have available and how long until another one is ready. This means that Lesion can continue to mine new areas throughout the match, so the longer the enemy team takes, the more mines he can deploy. Whether you’re lying in wait to ambush poisoned enemies with his silenced shotgun or cackling with delight as an enemy succumbs to poison even after you’ve died, Lesion and his mines are a deadly nuisance. The third new Operator is the first member of the Polish CTU, GROM, to take the field (the second will be released with the next Operation). Ela is a defender who packs Grzmot mines (“grzmot” means “thunder” in Polish), which are proximity concussion mines that can be thrown and stuck to walls, ceilings, and floors. These beauties will detonate when an enemy gets close, stunning them, disrupting their hearing, and shaking up their view but doing no damage. Fortunately, Ela is a speedy Operator who can close distance fast when one of her mines goes off in order to capitalize on the opportunity. She has an SMG or a shotgun to do the heavy lifting, as well as a Siege-first pistol with an integrated dot sight for mopping things up. While her mines have obvious applications when defending on-site, Ela’s speed makes it possible to take a more aggressive anti-roamer approach. Laying a nest of mines where you predict enemies will infiltrate can be a great way to stymie their advance, forcing them to burn valuable clock time. Sneaking up on a roamer and throwing down a mine can lead to an easy kill. If decide to fall back to the objective site, consider leaving a mine along your retreat vector to discourage pursuers. And if she happens to get downed, Ela can manually detonate a concussion charge on her person (she always carries an extra just for this purpose), giving allies a better chance to clear the area and revive her. Between Ela and Lesion, the defenders have a lot more potential trap power to lay down, while Ying gives the attacking team some powerful new breaching support. Operation Blood Orchid is targeting a Septmeber 5 release. All three Operators will be available for free to Season Pass holders on launch day, and available for all other players to purchase in-game one week later. To get a glimpse of the Operators in action, be sure to tune in to the Pro League finals on August 26 at 9:15am Pacific for a live demonstration on twitch.tv/rainbow6.

New map.

Nuke it, it's sentimental sure. But they put out dogshit after dogshit and watching the past few releases on this website no one lasts playing it more than 2 months.

Chunks of dead prostitutes still should have won...

Digital Extremes, the team behind Warframe, have revealed their next game. Called The Amazing Eternals, it’s “a fresh take on the hero shooter genre,” combining a fast-paced FPS with a collectible card game. Today, Digital Extremes are announcing the game’s Founders Program, which will allow players to help shape The Amazing Eternals, as well as rewarding them with “ exclusive in-game gear, instant access to the Closed Beta, and more.” You can sign up for a chance to access the beta now, or enter the game instantly when the Founders Program launches on August 29. The Amazing Eternals is heavily inspired by a number of classic sci-fi and fantasy tropes, taking what lead artist Craig Sellars describes as “campy, pulpy ideas, but treating them with absolute seriousness.” Some of the characters and locations they show off in the game’s debut video seem like they’d be at home in any number of B-movies, but The Amazing Eternals treats them with “respect and appreciation.” The game is presented in the form of a mysterious board game. At the start of a match, you’ll leave the board behind, and be sent directly into the game where you’ll inhabit the body of your ‘eternal’. These characters are in an “endless battle to harvest the essence of a keystone,” which seem to be focal points of the game’s maps. The biggest innovation that the game is making comes through its card game. According to lead designer Allen Goode, “the cards you collect for your eternal provide endless strategic options for how you play.” You’ll be able to craft decks from the cards you collect, and then draw from those decks during games, giving you access to specific weapons, powerups, and traps. Goode says that “the decks you build will influence and reflect your own gameplay style.” The Amazing Eternals will make its first public appearance at PAX West from September 1-4.

Seconded

I spoke with Lee about this awhile back when the topic of reorganizing the forums came up. Originally the bulk of the playing was done by Owl, Bart, Jason, Chris, Tommy and myself. (sprinkle in Phil) So the forum section more or less doesn't need it's own section any longer and can just be filed into shooters. If we got a massive following again we could always reopen it. You could created a "Warframe Megathread" like Destiny did in the past to keep all relevant information in there. The sub forum was just like an old house with dusty furniture at this point.

Next CL tournament is in 4 months at the end of season 3. I have a lot of videos of our scrims if you want them, but they are not very fun to watch.

The massive 10k tournament that was just held had a winner win via exploit. Pretty shitty...

It's wonderful, it's exactly the Sonic we remember just polished up with some great new boss fights and the perfect balance of new and old. For 20.00 this game has loads in it.

Here's a link to all the episodes! Super Mario Brother's Suer Show!!!

My Dead Orbit exotic cape. Then Bones of Eao, and since shotguns, snipers, etc are now heavy weapons... Skyburners Annex.

The Sonic Mania release date has been pushed back to August 29, as the development team works on further optimizations. Nevermind, that was for PC, which we knew. SEE YOU TOMORROW LEE!

Team FG is trying for challenger! Come support and hang out. https://www.twitch.tv/the3rdwalker

That video got me so pumped up I can't handle it. Lets. Fucking. GO.

A buddy of mine showed me these two amazing websites to try on casual, or ranked. 1. StratRoulette http://squadstrats.com/ You pick which game mode you are playing and if you are attack or defense. The generator then tells you your objective! "Drone Warfare" All drones must attempt to enter the objective room. Those whose drones fail cannot use their guns until the last 45 seconds of the game 2. OperatorRoulette http://stratroulette.dakpangames.com/Operator This generator picks the 5 members of your team for you to use.
