The Outfit

Couple more single player levels down. It’s good fun, though the seige at the end of the last level went on a bit too long. Or there was too long between waves, anyway. I wasn’t in any danger, given that I’d set up $hlmun gun emplacements around the place I was meant to be defending.

No, I’m really rubbish at this.

I can’t seem to win at all. Or even come close.

But my rank is currently 1337, which is excellent. And also means that not many people are playing this online.

Well, I’ve got the full version now.

Single player seems okay. Nothing inspiring in the first couple of missions, but it’s quite good fun.

Really got it for the multiplayer, though. So I’ve tried it online. First four matches I tried to play all ended in immediate disconnections after loading. They were all against the same player. As soon as I got matched with somebody else everything was fine.

Except I seem to be rubbish. I was good the demo, but I guess I was playing against people who didn’t know what they were doing. Everybody online with the full game does know what they’re doing. And they’re better than me. Mainly, it seems, because they know how to do two things I don’t.

1) Do a melee attack.
2) Destroy any gun emplacements I build within seconds of them being built.

Number one can probably be sorted out by me opening the manual. Number two might take some doing. First I need to work out how they’re destroying my guns so quickly and then I’ve got to do it myself.

Two more games. I lost the first pretty handily after blowing up a bridge I really needed to be left intact. The second was a bit of an epic, but I won it in the end.

It’s brilliant.

Shit.

I’m starting to really like this.

Had a few more games, including an absolute epic that’s the only one I’ve lost so far. It was great. For the last half of the match, at least, I was really hanging on by a thread and making small comebacks that didn’t build up enough momentum to turn the tde. Final score was about 185-139, or something like that.

New 360 demo.

It’s one of those very annoying multiplayer-only demos.

No tutorial, no nothing. There is, at least, a screen showing which buttons do what.

So I leapt into a one-on-one game online. Seemed pretty simple, really. Just kill the enemy and try to capture the capture points. Bit like Day of Defeat, but different. Anyway, I won. Even though I stood around doing nothing for a while half-way through when I had to skip through the “lost kitten” conversation in Animal Crossing.

It was annoyingly enjoyable, too. I really, really, really don’t need any more games to buy. Poor buggers coming out the same day as GRAW and Fight Night. If they’d released this time last month when nothing was coming out they could have cleaned up.
