Well, I am already sold on this. I spent more money on Call of Duty Elite and I have not even touched MW3 since launch. This content looks way better than anything they added to MW3 (new guns and vehicles as well as maps), and it’s for a game that I actually still play.

The Humble Indie Bundle V is out today, and I already picked up my copy. This is easily their best one yet, with Bastion, Amnesia, Psychonauts, Limbo, and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery. I already had copies of Psychonauts and Amnesia (both amazing games), but the bundle was still worth it to get Bastion and Limbo. Make sure you take advantage of this.

I show up about an hour and seven minutes into the video below. I was actually in a few earlier games, but I was out of it so I took a break to get something to eat. I started doing much better when I came back in, although I was not at the top of my game. Its been a while since I last played Ascend due to Battlefield 3 and Diablo III taking up most of my gaming time. Still, there were a few cool moments and I had some pretty good KDRs, if not the top scores, in every match. Make sure you catch the epic orbital strike at 1:43:40.

I helped him out with that last cap right there. He was going in for the cap and I said the flag was secure. When the flag is off of the stand and someone says that it is secure, it generally means they have the flag out in the field but they are not going to return until you are ready to cap. I guess he didn’t know that, so he didn’t go straight to the stand. When I noticed he passed the stand I returned the flag. Thankfully he was able to cap it for the win. After the match, he sent me a code for some free Tribes Gold at the end there. Pretty awesome!

I was only able to play for a little over an hour today, but so far my are good! It looks like they got the login and character creation issues under control, but they still need to work on the server lag. My ping was constantly in the 200s, and sometimes it would spike to much higher. Still, good stuff. I am looking forward to playing it with some friends.
