Not meaning to avoid inviting any of the pros into a noob match, but we noobs are scared that the pros would come into the match and starts changing the pace of the game from our slow and steady pace, to the fast and ferocious like just now.

I wont name any names, but the hesitancy of the noobs inviting the pros is because the laidback and relaxed nature of the noobs games, i enjoyed being clunky and awkward and making mistakes without people screaming behind my back for missing a shot. Instead we laughed at our miserable awkwardness of shooting ourselves in the face with our own Hammer, or mistargeting the boomshot too close, and missing our enemies altogether. Sometimes, it's just a crazy round of hammerbursts and pistols only.

So i hope the pros would understand. Maybe someday, the noobs would move from being this crappy to a little bit better, already i see improvements and the noobs encouraged to improve when they see themselves registering kills among each other. I consider myself very lucky to be even able to register a kill just now with you pros, but you gotta admit, you feel "semangat" when you see yourself registering kills, even if the kill is among noobs only. A zero kill is just disheartening and brings down one's spirit to continue trying to improve , especially when the ones you're playing with are of higher calibre. Some would say that playing with pros would improve one's game greatly, but when one noob trying to keep up with all pros, he would get left behind, and as the others are having fun, he's feeling miserable and worthless. I felt that way when i was playing just now, but i played on so that people dont think im leaving because i hate you guys, it is rather i hate myself for not being any better for you guys.

Im not asking anyone to lower the pace/skill level to accomodate a noob, that would be more degrading and insulting to the noob itself, it is just that sometimes it takes a little bit more encouraging and time vested to turn a noob into a pro. It certainly wont take a single night.

Commando, im in! And im sure all other boobs are in as well. Ayusmi, LordAshe, IonStorm, Shaft, malam ni kul 8, amacam?

Leenaz, you can add me in already, friends list dah trimmed.

@Ghostdevice,
If everyone play lancer+chainsaw, im sure the match will be short as well, chainsaw-fest too is a matter of luck, since who revved the saw first most probably gets the opponent. If depend on lancer bullets only, i agree the match is gonna take long.

Warzone or Execution, both also okay. I love the panic moments when you set the bleed time to 5 secs, and the franticness that happens when the bleeding victims starts to revive.

Guys, you guys play ahead tonight, i most probably wont be in until late, several items are arriving for me from the States, and i have to verify and pick them up tonight. Invite any other noobs/boobs to fill in the quota, if still got spot then, if you want, then invite me in, otherwise carry on. I suggest we make this a regular outing, and once everyone is confident enough with the weapons handling, maybe we can move to shotguns gradually, but only on everyone's consentual agreement.

Sorry Commando47, i came in late. By the time i was in, i was tired, and i got shotgunned in the ear at point blank by own teammate, not in a battle, but while i was standing not doing anything, or was in anybody's way. That was the last straw, so thanks Effret! Enjoy your GOW, guys.

EDIT: Commando47, did the match went as planned? No shotties and everything else on?

That sounds like too much fun, and i missed it!

Im working tomorrow, so i cant join you guys. Going to Melbourne.

Appreciate the thoughts, bro. Thanks.

Not your fault, you dont have to say sorry. I wasnt measuring up to the skill level needed for the game.

Two matches just now, thanks for the invite LordAshe. Sorry, wasnt in the state of mind to play, but i had to show up to lend some support when a fellow noob invites. Apologies to my teammate Knight111 and Ericvan360 as well, i wasnt much of a help there too, either in the spirit of things in the game, or even providing support to you guys. You guys have fun.

Ayusmi bro, aku mintak maaf banyak2. Aku tau ko nak main Coop tadi, tapi dalam keadaan aku cenggini, i dont think i would be of much help. Raincheck yea bro, skali lagi aku mintak maaf.

Sorry to whoever invited me, i was not having fun so might as well i contain my disinclination to have fun within myself,rather than spoil you guy's punya fun.

To Rezal, i wasnt having fun just now either, so i turned off the game. Sorry. It's no fun getting shotgun at when i dont have a way to defend against it.

Im glad you're happy Slayer, you played great tonight. Winning isnt everything.

Im glad you think that way.

OT: That's a nice sig, Merdeka bro. Jaguar Paw offering the best part of the wild boar....for reproduction purposes! Saw it in Melbourne at their Half-pipe session in Hoyt, no cinema in Malaysia can compare to them. Plus the fact that Apocalypto will never get past censorship without being mangled entirely.

Pleasures all ours , Ayusmi bro. Plus, i think we all got PSP_Boy addicted already. One more addition to the GoW crowd.

Saw an invite from you, but wthe console was set as away downloading stuff from Marketplace. Appreciate the invite, but was away watching Saw III. Thanks bro kerana masih mengingati and still inviting.

Trade in your modded 360 and get a unmodded one. I support good games by buying them and giving them money that i bought for them to the ones making them. I dont give them to pirates.

Happy CNY to you too, enjoy the hols!

Bro Merdeka, thanks for the nice voice message. Thanks for still remembering me as well, sorry couldnt join coop with you, im breaking-in a good friend of mine from UK into the habits of playing Gears of War on his new 360,playing co-op with him, so he needs to be convinced that he made a worthwhile purchase with his hard-earned money. Needless to say, he's helplessly hooked.

Thanks for being a friend, bro.
