Does anyone know much about this one? Haven't heard anything about it, but the trailer looks decent.

I agree with @GazzaGarratt, holding back content to release it at a later stage just seems like a better way of hiding the lack of new content they have for this game, which is just the same as the previous MW2. They're getting better at vajazzling.
 
Nonetheless I too am actually enjoying MW3. But then again, I haven't found the 'SBMM' to be much of an issues really — it's probably because of my hyper fixation on the objective to grind the win.

Close to 30 hrs.  Its worth it IMO

Separate nights. So far I can only see we can do 'Playoff Nights' when its that time of the month. I'm thinking we do some more tournaments for fun - maybe a solo one but a duo one too as I think you can do 2v2 can't you on FC24?

Thank you all for your nominations, this process is now officially closed! 
 
If you didn’t get a chance to nominate, hopefully your favourite games have already been nominated! 
 
I will post the official voting poll in the coming days, however a few stats for you: 
- Games officially nominated - 22 (too many for the poll!!) 
- Games nominated more than once - 5
- Most nominations - 3 (3 games had 3 nominations!) 
 
Keep an eye out for the poll! 

Last few nights FG went on another flying winstreak. Mitch, @Lurchzy, @Macca89, @Luseth, @Greboth were on board and last night it ended at around 35 for me with the same peeps including @Misneach_ and @LordBaguette. A great game where we were 98-0 down on Terminal and flipped it around to win 250-221. Even a late game on Highrise would you believe was losing for half the game on Domination but managed to turn the tide to win by around a small 15 points in the end. Trying to fend off the opposition on Point B on that map is a nightmare.
 
Can't believe I have to sing Tom's praises but Smoke grenades have super helped in tight games when you want to lockdown a flag or a hardpoint.

Ted Hankey. Absolutely off the rails. And a nonce too now 🙈
 
 

Class finish - shame it was in the wrong goal 🤣🤣🤣
 
 
Great thread @tronic44!

All ARs are Gilded, with I think at least 2 out of 6 Forged. Saving a few so I can go back to using them after doing other guns.
 
Swarm SMG Gilded, Striker is nearly there (kills under your tactical impact are a killer though!). Battle Rifles all Gilded. Sidewinder and MCZ are Forged so just BAS-B to do so they are all pretty much done! Gonna look at LMGs I reckon, although I need to check if there is any secondary knife ones to do at all because clearly a few maps are hilarious to use the knife (aren't they Matt @Luseth *cough cough* 🤣).
 
Really enjoying doing these camp challenges whilst trying to play the objective and get the win for FG. I don't mind that its a slower progress for me, although its far quicker than MW2 challenges thats for sure!

Yes. Yes. Yes.
 
 

Ever since San Andreas or Liberty City, I just feel like these games have got 'too big'...does that make sense? Obviously some of them in the past have just had poor story lines etc but for me GTA5 was just fucking massive and I really struggled to follow the story line of the three characters. Like is it a sandbox or not etc. They always make a good game to be fair but for me I just can't get behind the hype anymore because it just feels like the game has to be huge with lots of complicated mechanics now to warrant the dev time. 
 
I'm an old man, I like my old fashioned top down original GTA where the most pressing thing I had to do in a game was run over the Hari Krishna's at the start of each level 😀

I kind of get what you mean @Middle Class Caveman, the open world is incredible large, and in fairness, requested by public demand. I think that works fantastically well for GTA Online. Campaign wise I kind of got bored after a few missions and wanted to go off-piste with mates. The Heists they created in GTA5 were class and hope more of that formula will exist moving forward. Lets hope Online mode will be released at launch and not just the campaign in Q1 2025.

I like the idea - although would love more to get involved too so FC24 could be played on different nights whenever people wanted to, rather than just MNF. Separate question that is though 😄

Need to get some of your clips on here!

Insane goal! And I was actually proud of the 'fail jump' as I do that all the time lol. Never gonna score a goal like that, nice man.

Same. RL is still my most played game 🤣

Must've gone 20+ games unbeaten last night which was fun!

Beat Lies of P last night, the first souls like I have ever beaten! I’ve tried Bloodborne, Sekiro, Demon Souls and Mortal Shell in the past but gave up with all of them pretty early on! 
 
I persevered with this game as I loved the setting and the idea for the story, and I’m glad I did as I ended up loving it! 
 
I thought the combat was fantastic and particularly liked the mechanic where successfully parrying could break the enemy weapon! However, I found the Legion arm to be mostly useless, and felt like using any larger weapons put you at a massive disadvantage which meant I didn’t experiment with weapons as much as I would have liked! 
 
The visuals and audio design were great though and the story was interesting and more “in your face” than the other souls games, but I would still have liked the story to take more of a central part of the game. 
 
Overall, really enjoyed the game and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys souls games. I gave it a score of 8.4 on my instagram where I usually post my reviews! I enjoyed it so much that I’m actually considering going back and trying Bloodborne or Demon Souls again?! 
 
Anyone else beaten this that thinks I’m crazy or think it deserves more than 8.4?

Ok month for January.  Evil West was crap IMO, but the other games are decent.
