April & I already have t-shirts from the 1st years trip, and have now ordered new shirts (our own) for the 2011 trip.  They aren't indicative of the trip (meaning nothing on the shirts say "2011" or "Clan 9mm Kings Dominion Trip"), just a "normal" Clan t-shirt.   I personalized mine more-so than April (NaeNae_69).  Here are links to view them:  http://www.zazzle.com/235439106759518191?CMPN=emc_en-us_order_confirmation_c1_product1

is the link for NaeNae's and mine is: http://www.zazzle.com/235332747648089319?CMPN=emc_en-us_order_confirmation_c1_product1.  Mine isn't much different than hers.  Other than having a regular T-shirt instead of a tank top, I added a gold MP5 on the front, and above our emblem on back the text "When Negotiations Fail...".

I hope to see a big turnout this year, it kinda sucked being the ONLY person unable/unwilling to ride some rides and waiting...all alone:(   lol

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Teased In Official PlayStation Magazine

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Is Coming.

The biggest game in the world returns soon. At least that’s the message in the latest issue of Official PlayStation Magazine. In a teaser for its July issue, the magazine depicts a large “3″, hinting at none other than Modern Warfare 3. We all knew it was coming, right?

Voice actor Craig Fairbrass had previously hinted that a Modern Warfare 3 announcement was imminent.

“I did Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as Gaz and then I did Ghost in Modern Warfare 2, which has become one of the more iconic figures in the history of computer games, which is great,” Fairbrass said during a radio interview.

“And I’ve just been out in LA doing something that’s going to be announced in May,” he added. “I’ve just been out there doing some bits and pieces, and one is to do with… I can’t say too much.”

Obviously we knew this was coming, so no new surprise. Question is, how will it turn out now that the games major talent left IW and started their own dev studio? Will the Online FPS torch be handed to EA with Battlefield 3?

You Can Soon Save Your PS3 Games In Thin Air

Kotaku has learned that earlier today, Sony informed developers of a new feature for the PlayStation 3: the ability to save games in the "cloud".

Cloud storage means that, rather than just keeping your save game data on your PlayStation 3's hard drive, users will be given the option to upload their saves remotely to a server. The advantage of this is that not only does it save the user space on their hard drive, but since it's tied to a PlayStation Network account, it can be pulled down to different consoles whenever and wherever the user desires.

First rumoured all the way back in 2009, there is of course a catch: it'll only be made available to PlayStation Plus subscribers, not the great unwashed. Actually, there are two catches: Sony bundled the announcement with the clause that, because saving games to the cloud "will allow save data with the copy prohibited attribute to be copied into the online storage", developers are able to opt out and bar their games from using it should there be a concern.

Sony will call the process "Online Saving", and it'll be made available as part of the PS3's upcoming 3.60 firmware update. We've contacted the company for further information, and will update if we hear back.

One that caught my eye:

Member Points and Gifting System - This will be a premium feature and will allow you to configure points to award members for different actions on your website. Then they can spend their points in a configurable gift store.

Thoughts?

Because of recent developments between my father and I, I am moving out. My internet will be shut off over this weekend (tonight / tomorrow), and I have been using this time to download dlc, demos, tv shows, movies, music, and psp games to keep me entertained at night with no connection. 

I will be visiting my sister in Virginia over next weekend, and will be able to get online and play with you guys for a while using their internet, but wont be able to stay up late (she has 3 kids..all my nephews...and 3 dogs, Ill need my sleep). 

Hopefully I'll be able to find a place and get a full time job before the end of the year, if not, I will be moving down with my sister permanently. She has offered me my own place (house), car, and help landing a good job (she already has me arranged for an interview when i visit). 

During this time, 1Arm will be stepping up to manage the clan. Along with Collectors return, 9mm will be as strong as it has ever been, just with a change of leadership. 

When I first joined 9mm, it was shortly after CoD4 was released. I came in as a grunt, played my games, made my friends and connections, and when I saw 9mm didn't have any formal structuring (no website or list of members of any kind), I was surprised that it had been around for 6 years at the time. 

So with Collector's and Grouch's approval, I started this website to help manage the clan and keep us in touch when not on the same game. 

Over time it grew to include a list of our allies, ex members, and challenges. 

And when Collector and then Grouch had real life issues to deal with and needed time away from the clan (either by choice or by circumstance), I tried to step up and keep the clan that I helped grow alive. 

I tried to run the clan with a transparent policy. Posting my plans and my ideas on the website and waiting for feedback before doing anything. Alot of the ideas have yet to take off (vip membership, yearly real-life gatherings, etc), but some were hits...the chain of command, awards, challenges (even tho the first was 1Arms idea). And I ran it with a 'no bullshit' policy. I don't lie to my members and I kept them in the loop as much as I could. If i suspected one of trying to lie to me about clan drama, I called them out on it. 

Some people conceded and leveled with me, allowing me to fix the real problem. Others realized they had been caught and trapped, and fought back...denying to take responsibility for their actions, and quickly snapping back with public insults against me. 

Now I'm not saying I'm the perfect leader...I made my share of mistakes. Situations where I could have reacted calmer and that might have led to a better outcome. But in the end I feel I made the right decisions, and would make them again if I had to. 

Many of you joined during this time, when the original founders were offline and I was running things. I encourage you to add both 1 Arm and Collector (you can get their names by asking other members..the ones listed in the chain of command are outdated and need to be changed). 

I expect everyone to give them the same respect as leader you gave me. They have different styles of doing things, but both love 9mm and will see it grow. 

I will be keeping in touch on the website as much as I can, and many of you have my cell #. 

If you don't, and want it, let me know and I'll message you with it. 

9mm For Life

I'll be back

Some examples are you need to register on the site to become a member..

You need to keep in touch when your not playing so we know your still a member...

and to put "9mm" in your clan tag and not to modify it. 

The clan tag is the only way to associate yourself with us in games. It is your uniform. By changing it to read anything else, you are removing your uniform and replacing it with another. 

You are saying "I am no longer a part of 9mm and am now in a new clan called "Ucan" or "212" or whatever you replace it with. 

If you replace "9mm" with anything else you are passively telling us that you no longer wish to represent our clan. 

The same goes for modifying the tag with another symbol or different case "9mm-" "9mm." "9MM" "9mM" etc. 

Therefore, if you change your tag, you will be removed from the clan on the spot, relieving you from having to wear it. 

You may think that this is a bit extreme. But in my time in the clan this very issue has caused several major incidents almost ending 9mm. And when you see a so called clan-mate wearing a different tag...it feels like a PERSONAL insult. Especially to me, the current leader. I have put alot of myself into 9mm since I was recruited, and have helped it grow into something we should all take pride in. So when I see someone who I thought was with us, wearing another teams uniform, its a slap in my face. It says to me:

"I am embarrassed of 9mm and the people in it"

"I was too much of a coward to say I'm unhappy in the clan or that i was planning on joining another team"

If you want to join another team, start your own, or just leave 9mm in general, I have no problem with that. I don't like to see anyone go, but if you are going to go...just tell me. I don't care how you tell me, post it in the forums, leave a message in the shout outs, send me a private message here on the website or on the psn. Ill ask you why ( to see if its something we can fix or improve), but that's it.

I wont beg you to stay or make you feel uncomfortable, and will wish you luck with your plans. Plus, should you change your mind in the future and want to rejoin, that can happen. 

But change your clan tag behind my back and all that goes out the window. 

Now this is all explained when you register, so it's not new to anyone. But, as I said, it has caused major problems in the past (as most of you remember), and therefore with a new wave of new members coming into the clan, I wanted to make it very clear and explain why. 

And it's really not asking much. Other professional clans out there require you to hand over your psn id and password so they can log in as you and control who you are friends with. And they do this because the people who DO break this rule, are generally dishonorable and cancerous, making their own group once they get kicked and then trying to steal members not because they like them, but just to try to hurt the team they got kicked out from. So keep that in mind. 

These are my views, and as leader, are the policy of 9mm. If you don't agree with this, please notify me. 

All the new features explained. Please forgive it for being done by an XBox production team.

I dont know, but I know that sometimes when I jump off buildings, I want to go straight to prone instead of kneeling then prone

You can do that now...just hold the prone button as you jump off the building. itl send you to the crouched position first for only a fraction of a second, and then lay you into prone.

I dont think TREYARCH will let us down.......even still, they have added new things....like jumping into prone

Dolphin diving? Really? That pissed some people off in Battlefield 2, so they took it out in that game. Wonder how well itl work. 

Remember....these VIP Memberships are OPTIONAL, and nothing you get or have access to now will change. Much like Playstation +, this will only add new features and services you can use. 

If we can get 10 people to join (1 Arm, Nae-Nae, Noeyedea, and myself will most definitely be subscribing...that leaves 6 more people needed), the income will be enough to do some really fun things.  

Membership Dues will be $3 a month, or $36 a year. 

This will cover website costs ($20 a month), as well as give us enough money to have 2 contests each year with a free game (roughly $60 value) being the main prize. If there is a Call of Duty game being released, that game will be the prize. If there isn't one being released that time of the year (summer), the winner will get to chose which game they would like to receive as a prize (again, only a $60 value). 

As more people join, more prizes and challenges will be arranged. Prizes such as free map packs or other DLC for the games we play, merchandise from the swag store, PSN cards, or any other myriad of rewards. 

If this is really successful, I would like to see some of the money we make to be donated to veterans charities. 

And who knows...if we get tons of people signing up, the next get-together might be completely sponsored by 9mm!

Respond with any questions or comments regarding these plans and we will answer them if we can or flesh out an answer if you bring up a point we havn't thought of yet. 

I would like to get this started as quickly as possible so we can have our first contest be for the Black Ops Prestige Edition. 

I noticed that too, but I think they mentioned it happening in a G4TV interview thing or something.

I hope so, the ones in W@W were fantastic and need to continue.

What I Notice:

1. The title / emblem system is back

2. Custom red dot sights? 

3. Explosive Arrows work like faster Semtex

4. Knives can now be spring-loaded

5. I haven't seen remote control explosive cars since GTA3!

6. Large explosions are FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!!

7. Slower, more maneuverable cruise missiles allow you to hunt for your prey. 

8. Remote Thermal Camera's allow you to have eyes in the back of your head. 

9. Replay editing built into game engine...let those awesome kill cams and custom trailers start!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was confirmed to be in pre-production stages on April 9th, 2010 byActivision.^[1] No other information about the game has been released.

caused tension between me and other players. I don't blame you if you were upset, I would be upset to. I will watch what I say 

at all times. Its not right to say something like that. Everyone has the same rights and everyone should be treated the same. It

doesn't matter what color you are. This is my last chance to not get in any trouble again or imma have to be let go. So please 

forgive me about the comment I made. Thank you for letting me have 1 last chance!

THURSDAY AUGUST 12th - SUNDAY 15th

Camping instead of a Hotel

Airsoft instead of Paintball.

We should have enough equipment for everyone to enjoy airsoft, but for camping, bring a sleeping bag and pillow, bugspray etc.

Has any paintball place in particular been chosen yet?
 

Home is free, and can be found under the Network Tab. Sign on, and then look for me. I'll be on in my personal space (already setup for you guys) where all clan members can meet and chat and exchange friend requests.

Dress your character up how ever you would like, but for the clan picture, do your best to be dressed in a combat uniform (cammo, boots, hat, ect). And then strike a pose for the group picture! This picture will then replace the one currently found on our home page.

After the picture, be on your way into your favorite game, or stick around to play bowling, poker, racing, or any of the other mirad of free minigames on home.

This is a perfect time for new clan members to be introduced to the rest of the clan, as well as have anyone else interested in joining see who we are and get to know us a little.

Attendance is not mandatory, but highly advised.

Having previously revealed a launch date of "June", Sony Japan got specific overnight and said that the PlayStation 3's 3D era will begin on June 10.

That'll be the day a number of downloadable titles for the Japanese PlayStation Network are updated to support 3D technology. Those games are Super Stardust, WipeOut and Pain, and while the first two will update free of charge, in a disconcerting precedent people who already own Pain will still have to pay ¥300 (USD$3.20) if they want to play in 3D.

A few things to note: you'll need a 3D TV to actually use this tech, so that'll instantly rule out over 99% of you. And June 10 won't necessarily bring about a new firmware update, as the groundwork for 3D games was laid last month.

While we'd imagine that the June 10 updates will be worldwide, we'll check with Sony to be sure.

UPDATE - Nope! Sony tells us the June 10 date is for Japan only, with North American & PAL details to come "shortly".

This is an open invitation to all clan members OVER 18 ONLY! Sorry young guns, but there will be other trips this year.

August 13-15 (Fri - Sun)

The plan is to meet up at a hotel (to be determined) Friday evening. We'll go out to dinner or something as a clan that night and just relax.

Saturday we will spend the entire day at the park. First ones in, last ones out. Be sure to bring excedrin (some of the rides are old and throw you around alot, may cause headaces) and asprin (to help with other pains in the body like the legs for being on your feet so much).

Food can be kept in the car, as many of us will be taking short "breaks" to the car throughout the day.

Sunday we will be up early to hit up a nearby paintball field. As of now the plan is to play early and leave early so that those of us who have to work on Monday can get a good start on the journey back home.

Prices:

Hotel: ?

Kings Dominion: $34.99 (15 Person Minimum)

Paintball: ?

Transportation: ?

Total: $34.99+ Per Person.

If you have any questions, contact me here on our website by sending me a mail message. You can find a link on my profile.

Sony may finally be ready to make a little more cash from its PlayStation Network, with rumors that the PlayStation 3 maker will introduce a "premium" option at this year's E3 popping up weeks before the big video game expo.

According to a report from VG247, one part of Sony's E3 showing will focus on a paid version of its PlayStation Network. Premium class subscribers are said to get access to a free PSN game per month and a streaming music services, presumably among other services, for "less than £50 per year," or under $70 USD.

Those details sound in line with a survey that Sony sent out last year gauging interest in a paid version of its PlayStation Network. The pricing for the majority of those options was also inline with this latest rumor.

Would you pay? If so, what do you want for you money?

Premium PSN plans for E3 reveal, to cost "less than £50 per year" [VG247]

Aw Shit......lets saddle up, 9mm!

     Our website has two bills. A domain name bill (www.Clan9mm.com is not free), and a hosting bill. Our domain bill was taken care of by NOEYEDEA1, but our hosting bill relies on  [Donations]. Charitable donations by our own members (thats you) have supported and kept our website alive for years, and I speak for all the senior members when I say we sincerely appreciate it. But recently, those donations on which we rely on have become few and far between.

     As a result, our last bill was late, very late. Our host, Spruz, gave us a 28 day grace period to pay the bill, but we didn't pay it in time. As a consequence, our site was knocked down to a free subscription plan. This means that we now have advirtisements on our site (not a big deal with a flash blocking app installed such as flashblock for firefox), but it also means we have extriemely limited resources.

     Our storage space has been reduced from 5 gb (5,000 mb), to 1 gb. And with our images in the gallery, theme images (header and background), and files available for download in the Download page, our storage needs are far beyond 1gb. Thus, no one can upload any new material. That means no more images in the gallery, no more private pictures in profiles (practially ending the Photo Challenge, and I cannot upload the new  Trophy Challenge trackings.

     Storage and ads aren't the websites only problem tho, a free plan limits the number of pages you can have to 10. Our site, as we all know it now, has 83. This includes [Forums], Hall of Shame, [Games], Trophy Challenge, [Intel], [Game Battles], Retrocade, and the Gallery, as well as every page within them. So if we stay on a free plan, we may lose 90% of our site without warning.

     Obviously, staying on the free plan just isn't enough. And the plan we would need costs $21 a month. When we first set up our site, we only had to pay $9.50 a month to have these services. But, i assume because of the turn the economy had, Spruz adjusted their price plans, which is why a comprable plan today costs twice as much.

     I consider this fiasco my own fault, as I should have been keeping a closer eye on donations and the bill, and taken more agressive action when i saw both approaching the red zone. I will be doing my part to keep the bills at bay, but it won't be enough unless others do their part too.

     Please help 9mm by Donating today. Seriously, $1 will help, espechally if everyone donates. You can either donate directly using the link in the navigation bar, or by buying [Swag]. Swag are T-Shirts, stickers, hats, buttons, keychains, all different kinds of items with our logo on them, and you can customize your order to include your psn name on it. 10% of all swag purchases go to supporting 9mm, but it takes 2 months for the revenues to be deposited into the paypal account. DaOneArmedMan, NaeNae69, the6r0uch, and myself (as well as Majic-Murda) have all purchased clan swag and were very happy with the products, and you will too.
    

     I would like to keep this clan supported entirely by charitable donations, and will be looking into any possibilities of making them tax deductable. But, if it comes to it, we will be implementing membership fees. Starting from the top down, we will be requireing members of certain ranks to pay a monthly fee to help pay the bills ($1-5 a month depending on your rank). And it's simple math, the more people pitching in to pay the bills...the less everyone has to pay.

  I hope it dosn't come to that tho. So please donate whatever you can, be it $1 or $20....both will be grately appreciated. Thank you!

I wanted to let you guys know that the phat PS3s are now able to login to the Playstation network and the clocks are working. I was able to login at 6:28 PM eastern time in the Boston, MA USA area.

No official word from Sony yet, however, so proceed with caution.

We believe we have identified that this problem is being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.

Errors include:
* The date of the PS3 system may be re-set to Jan 1, 2000.
* When the user tries to sign-in to the PlayStation Network, the following message appears on the screen; "An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation Network (8001050F)".
* When the user tries to launch a game, the following error message appears on the screen and the trophy data may disappear; "Failed to install trophies. Please exit your game."
* When the user tries to set the time and date of the system via the Internet, the following message appears on the screen; "The current date and time could not be obtained. (8001050F)"
* Users are not able to playback certain rental video downloaded from the PlayStation Store before the expiration date.

We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have one of the above listed models, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.

As mentioned above the new slim PS3 is not affected with this error. We are doing our best to resolve the issue and do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Sony is F*ed

The OS clock wasn't set to read leap year.  Which is why it doesn't matter if you have gone online with it or not.  It is not a PSN problem, it is a PS3 problem.  I have read they may do a recall (on the models affected) and send new free ones, or you can reset the clock yourself by taking the clock-battery out (which WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY).......I have also read that at midnight tonight it may fix itself (sorta) to be March 1st, which I'm oblivious as to how this fixes things since it will really be March 2nd!.....Yes, I know, you don't really rely on your PS3 to be a clock nor a calendar, but from a technical standpoint it seems like a step backwards to me.

If anyone else has any info, post it here.............also, my warranty is out anyway, so Im gonna take the CLOCK BATTERY out and see what happens and I'll keep yall posted........................here are 2 links to sites you might find helpful:      http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=927750&topic=53710360        and               http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35646131/ns/technology_and_science-games/                         

Those rumours that Treyarch's next Call of Duty game is set in Vietnam? They might only be partially correct, if a supposed casting call for actors for the game is anything to go by.

The call, spotted by VG247, is looking for four actors to provide a mixture of voice work, facial capture and full-body motion stuff for the game. Interestingly, it also gives some background on the characters, and while some of them suggest that there'll be action in South Vietnam, others - like the female spy Kristina Ivanova, who speaks both English and Russian and "has a network of contacts behind the iron curtain" - hint at a larger scope for the game, perhaps touching on areas of the Cold War outside South East Asia.

That is, if the call is legit.

We've got in touch with Activision for comment on this, and will update if we hear back from them.

Rumour: Call of Duty casting call mentions "SOG in Vietnam," details characters [VG247]

but NOEYEDEA has it right now.

Magnetic sensors can track up to 5 people and when used with a series of sensors, can recreate the scene in full 3d from every angle, and even when a magnetic sensor passes behind a person...out of view from all cameras...its still being tracked because its magnetic, and not infrared...so it dosn't rely on line of sight.

And with live mocap they act out the scene like there doing a play...with studio recording (boom mics) to overlay the animation with. All started with The Getaway, and Uncharted uses the same tech. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSUWjM6OX7U

Obviously the graphics are old, but the animation for each character and between other characters and objects is spot on. And now that James Cameron created the Emocap (capturing the emotions on actors faces), that seems like the next logical step.

I have no doubt that it will look fantastic, but the acting out a cutscene for animation is nothing new.

Note: Two profiles are missing, Lalo's and Offshoreplayer's. When/if they make another profile, i will give them the promotion.

This is a crime-solving/C.S.I. kinda game that takes place in the 1940's, and the development team took painstaking steps to ensure the L.A. of the 1940's is as humanly accurate as possible.  They used local maps made by F.D.R.'s land development company and topography (aerial) maps.  You will be able to rive down streets that no longer exsit.  The store fronts will have items in the windows from that period.  This is gonna be a revolutionary game. 

Why revolutionary?  (1) The new "animation" technology and (2) This is an investigation type game, not JUST a run-around-shoot'em-up-kill'em-all kinda game.  For more convincing, go to: http://www.rockstargames.com/lanoire/      Also all information given here was reiterated from gameinformer magazine.

HEAVY RAIN may not be a video game in the sense that we all know, but it gurantees to change gaming in a way you would never expect.  According articles I have read in popular gaming magazines, HEAVY RAIN will remind you more of a "choose your own adventure" book, an interactive movie even.  You will take on a couple of roles (from what I understand) and in each role you will need to make decisions on how to react to people and situations, but here's th catch: EVERY decision you make will send a ripple through the gam in the way that each decision will cause the game to play out a different way.  It is possible for NO TWO PEOPLE to walk away with the same experience or even the feeling of having played the same game.  Some games you get to make choices in but they just bring you back to the storyline having only changed the one scene in which you make a choice.  Quantic Dream says that YOU make the story because each choice takes you on a different line and no two people will experience he same thing.  Go to www.QuanticDream.com for more info on this game, I promise that youwill be amazed at what this game will do.

I havent read much about L.A. NOIR yet, but apparently ROCKSTAR has improved on their GTA design to make an even better game.  I will be doing a better review of both games soon. 

That was at the end of his piece, but I think it's important to stress early that this installment will triumph over the last (and possibly even triumph MW2 for those of us that have had our fill of campers).  Player Progression, Rankings, Squad Groupings (although you are likely to be on opposing teams from your buddies that you came in with), Unlockable Weapons, and HUGE Maps that allow you to attack via Land, Air, and Sea!  Not to mention the buildings are destructable, so be careful of hiding inside because the walls may disappear and you will be a sitting duck!

You will also be rewarded with "an impressive array of Pins and Insignia to document your battlefield prowress" and "the Dog Tags return as boastworthy incentives to knife your enemies.".   There is also a useful new tool known as the Spotting Mechanic (I expect it is like Rainbow Six Vegas offered); this helps improve communication by allowing players to mark enemy positions as they identify movement on the battlefield.  The overpowered artillery from Bad Company has been replaced with a player-guided UAV (much like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2) that allows you to track and mark enemy movements (like none other).  BC2 will possibly have regenerative health this time around instead of a medic (the campaign mode definitely has regenerative health, so cross your fingers that they carry it over to multiplayer!).  There will be two new "change-of-pace" modes: SQUAD RUSH  - A four-player team in the role of attackers who must beat four defenders by destroying two crates.          SQUAD DEATHMATCH - Four teams of four against each other in a battle for kill counts and bragging rights.   

Bad Comany 2 has maps large enough that you won't encounter a ton of campers, and also enables for better teamwork, but on the downside a genius sniper position will be given away by the kill-cam.  This is my favorite bit of info about the game:  THEY FINALLY ADDED A HARDCORE MODE with limited HUD and increased damage!!  For that reason alone I am excited more for the relase of BC2 than I am excited about PLAYING MW2.

BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY 2 promises to be a better game than the last, and Matt Bertz's article in gameinformer #203 has made a believer outta me.  I truly cant wait to play the new hardcore mode and I hope to see you there!

I dont really have a lot to say about this game so far other than its visually pleasing (and even has nudity with a $3 download (or free when buying new @ gamestop) and its alot of fun.  If you enjoyed The Godfather, Assassins Creed or Grand Theft Auto (any of them), then you'll most likely enjoy this game.  It should also be an easy platinum trophy because you can do it on the easiest level as there is no trophy for easy, normal, hard and hardest difficulty settings (wish I woulda known that before hand) and pretty much all the trophies are ones you get for playing the game.....completed this mission or that, things you have to do anyway, there a couple that require you to max out your guns and perks, but they arent that hard either. 

I would give this game a 7 or 8 out of 10

some of the singers mouths dont move and stuff like that which why i would go as low as 7.

After that, I suppose I'm going all out assault.

I encourage everyone to at least get a healing medic gun.

Note that you do not get any of the titles or emblems when you do this hack, so if you wanted to see or if you wanted to prove to someone that you earned your 10th level presige legit...you can put those up on your card.

Personally, i think this is way UNCOOL, its called Prestige because its supposed to be Prestigious....and this just fuckin ruins it. If i were IW id BAN any account using this hack, or patch the servers so it can't be done, while also sending any account that used the hack back to a private.

This hack will not be allowed in our clan, using your primary names. If you want to do it, go ahead, just dont do it on your main name. It goes against our "Fair Play" policy.

Possibly the coolest feature though was the ability to call shots with your squad members.  By aiming at the enemy in your scope and pressing the right shoulder button (XBOX 360) and that marks your target , then your squad "calls their shots" and it shows up onscreen as a small circle above their target's head with a triangle in it (yours has a circle with a cross-hair) and the ones not targeted have a circle with a colored-in upsidedown triangle (which allows you to plan your next shot better).

GR: AW 3 will also have an "MW2 - SPEC-OPS" type section also.  I cant remember the name, but they claim you will never play the same mission on any map twice.  Can you imagine!  I played 3 or 4 different "SPEC-OPS" missions and two were on the same map (which was huge and open and alowed you more than just one set direction to access your objective) and, true to their word (thus far) neither mission was the same .  I had to rescue hostages the 2nd time on the map, and the 1st time  I had to destroy some communications things and other stuff then reach an extraction point (wonder if Ill end up doing either of those 2 missions on that same map after I buy the game and prove them wrong lol). 

I used an M-16 which had single-shot and full-auto as options (though the triple burst was there, but not highlighted as an option).  A grenade launcher and ACOG scope were attatched.  I also had access to the before mentioned Proximity Sensors, Claymores, Grenades, an LAW (sorta like more compact JAVELIN), and Binoculars which allowed the option (from what I could see) to use an artillery bombardment, a hellicopter strike, and I forgot the other option I saw (maybe an airstrike), sorry! 

The A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) was kinda lame and the only options as far as ordering your squad are: open fire, regroup, hold position (which still caused them to run out in front of you and compromise you sometimes), and go theere (by pointing and triggering).  One other small cool thing was the ability stealth-kill-melee an enemy from behind (a prompt would show at the bottom of the screen telling you what button to press).  Press the button and stab the guy in the back of the throat...I liked it.  Too bad you couldnt melee on the fly though.  Only if you sneak up behind the enemy and get the prompt without being detected.  There is also a cover system which allows you to hide (and peek and/or shoot) behind objects and corners.  No blind-fire though. 

I did see the ability to create classes (looked like at least 8).  There is no prompt to maneuver over objects, but by sprinting towards the object causes your character to climb/jump over the obstacle (it actually works very well, even when already standing next to it).

Overall I would give the game  an 8 out of 10 based on what I played/experienced/learned and I also realize a lot of these things will be fixed during the continuing development of the game.  No release date has been given yet, so Im quite sure many things will be better and work better.  I mean its a Tom clancy game for cryin' out loud! You know its gotta meet some high standards and will definitely be a great experience and a worthy buy.

Did I mention I got paid a crisp brand new $100 bill at the end?  Can you believe it?!?!  Ive been anticipating this game ever since the 2nd installment  and I just made c-note to be one of the 1st people in the world to play it and then help them with feedback in the focus group about what we felt needed adding or imrpovement and such!  PLUS I met the lead designer for the game (at UBISOFT who also made ASSASSINS CREED 2 and the RAINBOW SIX series)......I dont know about yall, maybe Im just a geek, because it was incredible for me and if I had known the guy was who he was when I 1st met him, I woulda asked him for his autograph......I know, Ima geek......dont hate lol

how come every thing has to be about facebook.Why not Myspace

These dashboard screens—reportedly found directly on the UK version of PlayStation.com—suggest the PS3 will soon have Facebook integrated into the Cross Media Bar interface, plus a new photo viewing option, and the ability to change gamercard colors.

OK, the last one isn't super interesting, but the Facebook feature would be nice. Looks like Sony caught on before we had the chance to confirm the pics ourselves, but ScrawlFX says it found the them here, here and here. [ScrawlFX via Kotaku]
