Xbox360Achievements.org - Marvel vs Capcom 2 Now Shooting For End of July Release

There's really nothing else in it, except speculation that we'll now see Battlefield 1943 before we see this... well, that and probably a few people who are pissed off when it's not that big a deal to wait a while longer.

Garou's netcode is 100 different kinds of fucked. I tried searching for matches numerous times, to no avail.

As for the D-pad use, it's at best clunky and frustrating. If you have a stick, by all means, use it. It will take you copious amounts of time to pull off some of the moves in there, such as Tizoc's LP/SP special.

My only grievance right now is putting Jenet's Ennui Madamoiselle to work, seeing as it's quite tricky to pull a Just Defend on a D-pad.

On the plus side, Worms 2: Armageddon seems to play just fine. I tried one match online and although I couldn't find anyone in a search, someone joined my fort game pretty fast and there weren't any lag issues.

Strangely enough, you can also cheat on some of the achievements and get them on the firing range training stages. Killing 6 worms at once, using a Holy Hand Grenade, and using Armageddons 10 times all work there. You could likely grind the 170 water kills and 200 fire weapons the same way if you get desperate enough.

Sometimes I wonder why I spend points carelessly. Seriously. First, I thought Cellfactor PW would be fun to play, but it turned out to be simply Shadowrun with Unreal Tournament configurations and whatnot. Now, that doesn't mean I hate UT. God, I still love it. However, this, just doesn't cut it.

And then there's King of Fighters 98. Now, I play CvS2 sometimes, which features the KoF/FF cast, including the trio of Terry, Yuri, and either Kim or Ryo (varies on how I'm feeling), but I go back to games like KoF, and it's just ridiculous how much I suck at em. That's another 10 bucks worth I coulda saved up for other games.

Tritock destroyed my poor Wiseguy Worms tonight, several times over. It's a ton of fun to play though, more of you oughtta pick it up so we can get larger matches. Joining public games with friends is, at the moment, not really a possibility.

So we need private ones. Which means we need more GFFers on.

I remember being a little disappointed with the first XBLA Worms. I mean, it was fine, but lacked a lot of the classic Worms stuff that I really enjoyed from some of the later titles on the PC. I've not checked out any reviews of this new Worms 2 on XBLA, but how does it stack up?

This one is what the first XBLA Worms should have been. All the missing weapons (Holy Hand Grenade has a new sound effect), a mission-based single player game, lots more worm voices, Forts, etc. It's pretty much a souped up Worms Armageddon, which is a good thing.

Sounds like it could be good, how much is it?

It's only 800 points, so there's no complaining about the price either.

I still haven't figured out if it's got a way to create custom landscapes, but you can do custom rule sets for matches. I'm just happy to have fort matches, even if they're the lame built-in forts.

You've met Skills right? :p

I know, he'll still ask for a refund after deeming it an affront to all that is Worms.

Skills rags on us for complaining about high price points, so he can't have it both ways. Living in a country that's still technically under the heels of a monarchy makes him a bit snarky sometimes.

I picked it up yesterday as well, and I'm glad to see them getting back to the roots. I just couldn't do the 3D Worms games.

Really? I made two public games and when people joined I couldn't even see what my opponents were doing, just the aftermath, and one of the matches didn't even finish, it got stuck on the "Waiting for other players..." message. I'm gonna try some more today before I judge since playing against my friend turned out fine. Loving the game, though. Do I have to unlock the vertical maps? I remember it being one of the new features.

I've played two ranked matches (one fort, one standard) and 4-5 games with Frank, and I haven't had any issues at all. It's a bit of a pain that you can't really invite friends to public games right now since games fill up within seconds of being created, but a lot of people playing is a good thing.

So this week, N+ is half-off. Pick it up if you haven't done so already.

EVERYONE fucking buy N+ or I will fuck you up.

There is no better MP arcade game out there.

So just for the record, how much is it?

That would make it 400 points, I believe. It's really tempting after playing the multiplayer at Mo0's place, so I may pick it up this week.

Also, apparently LucasArts has announced that Secret of Monkey Island will be released next week (7/15). Here's hoping it isn't $20.

A week after BF1943? Damn. Haven't had major releases back to back like that in a while.

Well that works out nicely, I have 400 LOL POINTS left. Thx

Trust us.

The size of your giant ninja testicles will be unholy huge by the end of it all.

Just make sure you can count to 3.

Took us a while just to be able to count to 1 successfully last time we played.

So, 1943 is completely unplayable at the moment. I'm not even exaggerating. 10 person games have 3000+ pings. It's ridiculous.

I'm going to chalk it up to early hammering and not being properly set up (game went up late on the marketplace proper), but as of this very second I would not drop the cash.

I'll let you know my experiences throughout the next 24 hours. As it stands it's a bit of a trainwreck. (Not entirely surprising all things considered but still)

Oh, by the way. The demo gives you 30 minutes of playitme and that's it. Resetting/deleting/redownloading the game doesn't reset the timer. You play for 30 minutes and that's that. I'm unsure about squad match functionality during that, though. Apparently you can still try the tutorial after the timer's done. No idea if doing tutorial first eats into that timer or not though.
