What's the plan for R2? Coop or competitive? Not that I prefer or would vote for one over the other,but just to plan a little ahead.

From talking to some people, a lot of people are excited to play some coop as a group.  However, if we have more than 8 people (which is a real possibility seeing as we already have 9 "yes"'s ) then maybe for the first couple matches we'll do some private competitive so we can all be together. 5 v 5 or 6 v 6 or whatever.  No random jackwads; just our own jackwads.

Then if we dwindle to 8 or less we can move to coop, or if we're still 8+ strong, we'll split into two coop parties.

Although I enjoy coop mode more, one of the nice things about R2 competitive is that no matter how many people you have in your party, you can all be together in one match if you want.

I'd enjoy killing certain goozex members, but that's just me

The only problem with R2 is that all the online XP isn't tied to your account like most games.  So when my ps3 died a month ago I lost my co-op/online character who was like level12.

I got my R2 in so I'll be joining also! Too bad I never played online with it the first time I beat it so I'm a lvl 1.

That's strange, you sure?  Because they implemented a feature where a friend who was over at another person's house playing split screen could log in to his own PSN account for Player 2 so that he/she could be able to use his leveled characters  and make sure his XP counted for when he went back tohome to his own console.

I updated the first post with game-specific notes.  Specifically a very brief primer as to what your role shoudl bein coop for each class.  When people know their roles and soldiers keep their shields up and move slowly/steadily so other can use their shields, spec ops spam ammo to keep the soldier's shields up, and medics are on top of healing when shields fail, coop is awesome.  The party runs smooth and it's very fun.

When people just do what they want with the medic running out in the front lines, soldiers not staying still so teammates can benefit form their shield, and spec ops not throwing ammo so their shields don't recharge, the game is over really fast.

Also incorrect guesses for the BP week mystery prize have been updated.

Need to borrow a friend's copy of R2 over the weekend, but I should be in for next week.

Outside of playing some split-screen online MP with friend, I have little experience with the multi in R2.  As long as I get to shoot people, i'll be happy.

I must say, I am glad to see you guys have proved me wrong thus far. Keep up the good work!

Wed Mar 3rd, Time TBD - Modern Warfare 2

Regarding this MP night.  I'd like the opinions of anyone potentially interested in joining - would you prefer to play Modern Warfare 2 or CoD4?  Pros and cons either way, but I figured getting a discussion out there now will help in planning the event and requesting copies if needed.

It's far easier on MW2 for PS3 to group a party together and stay connected for games than it ever was in CoD4.   On the other hand, more of you may still have copies of CoD4 available and it's far easier to Gooz a copy.

Opinions?

My opinion is you just volunteered to host yet another PS3 MP Night, congrats!

I don't have either for PS3, but I won't be able to make the Mar 3 night anyways.   This is a good question as I had a hard time gauging the interest level of PS3 MW2 night.   There were several ppl that wanted to make the MW2 Fridays happen alongside the 360.  The people in that thread may be interested.

Hopefully more successful than my last attempt at a CoD/MW night. 

...and in response to your R2 comment:  Human or Chimera is perfectly fine by me - they both bleed.

I could play MW2, but I'm nearly ready to send it out, so the sooner the better!

Also, I don't have CoD4 anymore.
