Im going to tell you the truth I really didn't know there were still premier FPS tournaments. I thought they died with Halo 3 and COD4.

Because they give updates to the games and make it compatible with new OS. KOTOR anyone?

Guild Wars was the MMO I liked. World of Warcraft was the MMO people called Traditional. BFBC2 is my Not-So-Massively Multiplayer Online Game of choice. Thank you for your time.

Im pretty sure maintenance is being done today. its kinda a bummer, though, as I finally put down the sticks on SSFIV and i really want to play some TF2.

probably not with the release of BFBC2. Unreal Tournament 3 didn't have alot of players to begin with, and the new black edition didn't bring many people back.

It got boring.

I've put in a few more hours and I must say, this is the best fighter I've ever played.

When I first jumped on, EVERYONE was just kicking my a$$!

I dabbled in regular SF4 and was okay, but everyone has gotten ridiculously good. But, there's something about playing against other human players and trains your mind faster.

One thing I've noticed is how useful playing in a lobby with other people. I noticed that when I had to sit out and watch the other players fight, I got a chance to sit back and analyze the patterns of the guy who just beat me. What combos he uses and when he uses them, what I could do next time I fight him to overcome that. It's a very subtle, but amazing side-effect of the new "Endless Battle" mode. It's also really awesome since you don't have to search for a new opponent everytime you finish a game, it just keeps everyone in the same lobby and you play against each other. People were really cool, sharing tips and strategies.

By the end of the night, I managed to pull off some lucky and spectacular wins, then I was able to re-watch them in my video library and learn more from the videos and how I could have beaten the other guy even more.

Anyway, very cool. Give it a chance, I'm certainly hooked on it now.

I Certainly hope to play you online with my Makoto, Chun-li, and Guy when i get on around thursday.

Haven't Played online yet, but so far I love this game. new things to look for, lots of different juggles were added, and Music is phenomenal. Played a couple people on the gamestop machine before launch and I can say that Juri, Although terrible with defense is a force to reckon with along with Dee jay, Chun-li, Makoto, and T-Hawk.

sorry, i prefer Chun-li.

I don't steal games, i just put my money toward other games that went above and beyond in a good way rather than give my cash to some developer who thought being an ***hat was the right approach to developing/porting a game.

Ubisoft went beyond that evil status with their DRM, which is why i only own one of their games. Infinity-Ward ( or should i say activision here?) messed up by charging me 15 bucks, 50% the price i payed for l4d2, for 5 maps on their game MW2. Please let me note that 2 of those maps i already payed for on another game, and for cheaper, so why would i pay for that when 45% of my games were less or 20% more than it?

By the way, if you want an example of dumbed down ports, lets reverse it a bit. Have you played Orange Box on the 360? dumbed down, right? Is it fun? i think not. Have you touched RE4 for PC? that was a dumbed down port also because the controls were terrible.

If the game isn't playable due to controls and if it doesn't have enough options to support certain GPUs, its pretty bad as it is not accessable to all PC Gamers and is a dumbed down port.
