the WoT 8.7 update goes live this Monday the 29th.

0.0 you haven't played HL2 yet? you really should do that.

Fallout: New Vegas BioShock Infinite add those two to the massive list of games I bought during summer sales and haven't even launched yet (stalker, dead space, sins of a solar empire, return to castle wolfenstien, bioshock 2, all the deus ex games, far cry, unity of command, ect...)

not half bad.

This isn't even an example of me doing well at all. But after the matchmaking I have gotten over the last hour I felt like I should post an example. that baxtaz guy is the highest rated player on the highest rated clan on the north American WoT server. That's the sort of people we were playing with for about an hour. Needless to say we won every battle without even being able to help the team.

Also why is my steam profile different than everyone else?

I know im going to get the standard "overpriced crap" response to this post but since they have released the new lineup of laptops the 2012 models are on a significant discount. Alienware M14x Gaming Laptop | Dell I highly recommend this laptop, lightweight, good battery life, plenty of power, and well built.

This isn't quite as note-worthy as my previous posts but I felt this was a great example of how a scout tank, even a tier 6 in a tier 10 battle, can make a big difference. I must say engaging an E-100 at point blank was rather scary.

If all else fails there is always Killing Floor.

really? I found the early tiers to be completely grind free. You can get off of tier 1 after a single battle, off of tier 2 in 4-5, and 20-25 battles to reach tier 4. Seeing as there are only 10 tiers I would say that's a fair bit of content for very little play. Where I do fault the game is its rather pathetic explanation of game mechanics. If you are new to this game you will need to play with an experienced player who can show you how its done.

The obvious answer is that neither of the 2 is any good. I dont see the console living on past the next 1-2 generations. They will almost certainly be replaced by a highly standardized PC platform of some sort. The proprietary nature of modern consoles inherently limit what software is available to the user and limits hardware competition to the 3 main choices. Would'nt you rather choose the machine you want from a highly competetive market, take it home, and play ANY game, none of this exclusive game stuff?

As a general rule I dont pay for anything in a game that can be earned through normal means.

This should be a tier 10 premium tank with the same armor as the KV-1 (tier 5 heavy) but with over 9000 hit points and you need a 3 way platoon of people just to use it.

The premium tanks are no better than the free tanks. Actualy, as far as I know, the premium tanks are inferior to their free counterparts. The premium tanks do however make more money and thats what you are really paying for.

We play with a number of UK people. We have West coast people playing with UK people and ping hasnt been much of an issue.

If you are bent on changing it from REG of some sort then gungame seems like a good idea. The people who liked previous GG servers would back me on this for sure.

Well if that is a w210 or 211 merc then it actualy shares a large portion of its mechanicals with the charger. The charger's "LX" platform was designed by mercedes using the front end from a w220 s-class and the rear end from a w211 e-class. In fact a number of the parts in a charger still have the 3-point star on them.

Sorry for the necropost but RisingStorm the standalone expansion to RO2 just came out so I want to check out possible interest.

Absolutely SLi that card (unless you would need a new PSU to do so). GeForce GTX 650 Ti vs Geforce GTX 670 ? Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare As you can see in that comparison a GTX 670 is not going to be noticably faster than SLi GTX 650 ti but buying another 650 is MUCH cheaper than buying a 670 from scratch(even if you sell the 1st 650). Seeing as you would not be gaining any features the 670 would seem a waste. The other option would be to hold out for the GTX 700 series cards and see how those stack up. edit: I should note that if you plan on playing games at extremely high resolutions well above 1920x1080, the 660 Ti or 670 might make sense as they have more vram (unless you have the 2GB version of the 650 Ti) and significantly faster vram. This is only important once you start running extremely high resolution.

I should be fine with the s-51 then. its got 1800 damage so it should still work. I still dont get who is complaining about arty though. Arty almost never does all that well in battle and gets taken out easily.

I want to know what they mean when they say the barrel lasted for 8 shots. How did it fail or did they just deem it unsafe?
