First Post!

Just a few hours away from the start of X05, which will begin with a keynote speech and after that the press is free to get drunk and play some 360 games. Unfortunately I have to drive home so my PGR3 impressions should be of the sober kind. There is internet access at the event, however I am unsure if there's wifi or not. If there is, I'll be sure to update about the keynote as it happens.

      I really like DOD:S. I like the feel much more than counterstrike. Plus, on occasion, i can kill someone in DOD:S. I die a lot in CS.

          Yeah.. the RIFLEMAN class is just pure ownage, especially if you're used to AWP/Scout in Counter-Strike. I try to use the other weapons and I just suck ass though. The Rifleman seems like its an independent class, and you don't need to worry about your teammates covering you. The other weapons take good teammates to give you backup so you can get into place.

          Rifleman = hop out from behind a corner, shoot machine gunner in head. Hop back behind corner. Hop out again, kill another guy.

            That's funny, because I find myself most effective as Assault. Not sure what it is, but everything just clicks and feels right to me.

              The MG class racks up the body count, but like bozer says, it takes teammates to cover you.

                urge to go home and fire up DoD:S, RISING! I wish I could just skip out on work somedays.

                I totally agree. I'm a spray and pray kind of guy. I need the sharpshooters to keep me not dead.

                my only problem with the MG class is that certain windows/ledges that you should be able to use the MG from, for some reason don't work. Not sure if that is a bug or not, but it sucks.

                Also, its very easy to kill teammates with it.

                Is there an unofficial shack server for DoD?

          I played for the first time last weekend with you guys. DKo5, you gave me a quick tutorial to get me going. I enjoy the game quite a bit and it is a lot faster paced than I had anticipated.

            Yeah.. the game is all about rushing, while CS is all about standing in a corner and waiting for players to run into your line of fire (unless you're being a whore)
