ChromeHounds - Gen. Discussion & Info

[quote name='Elrod']Thanks for the insight, guys. I have a couple of questions concerning the squad lottery system, but I am sure that I will figure them out before I reach Private rank.

Also, who isnt in the squad anymore? I need to send out friend requests to those that arent already on my list.[/quote]

Some of the members are not as active as they used to be but, the list in the OP is updated. I just added you as well.
 
how much time does this game require to get your hound decent enough for online play? Is it too late to get cracking as id only be interested in this game for live play.
i picked it up but im sorta undecided on it, im afraid ill start and i wont have the time the game requires (kinda like phantom dust) for liveplay.

Liveplay is the only think any of us play. It pretty much IS the game. The single player stuff is just like the training for online. We play twice a week, but its a pretty fun game when you are playing with others.

I have not played a game with [non-CAG - CiLLkuPID] for a long time. Does he still play? Maybe we can remove him an open up a spot.

About 7 more days until my return.
 
paz9x - I just started playing the game (single player) on Saturday, and jumped into LIVE on Tuesday. The learning curve is a bit steep, but its not that difficult to get going. Oh, and the game was definitely made for Live. The single player is nothing more than a very large tutorial on the different roles that hounds can have in combat.

Shipwreck - I am definitely going to be playing tonight. I spent some time last night reconfiguring a couple of hounds, and I am chomping at the bit to try them out.
 
Of course work kills me again. Tues/Thurs are going to be hell for me to make for very long until after Christmas probably. My advice - don't work retail during the holidays!
 
I am digging my new Mini Hound, so I will probably be playing some this weekend in the evenings if anyone wants to join in. I have a couple of questions about the Lottories:
- Can I participate in them?
- How many picks does the squad get a night?
- If there are 16 picks already logged, and I put two bids in on items, do I hurt the chances of my squadmates from getting items?

Thanks for the information, guys. The games have been hella fun.

The lotteries are explained in the OP. Everyone has 2 picks. But since not everyone plays daily, check around 10-11pm PST and if there are no picks taken you can take them all. If you're part of a group playing at night, just split them up or play a Free Battle to determine who gets them all.

I read the OP, but was still a bit confused. I understand the process now. Thanks for information.
 
I planned on playing last night but I got caught up watching TV. Tonight I'll be on LIVE probably playing Just Cause or NBA 2K7 but if a few people get on CH I'll jump over.
 
I'm in the mood to play some Chromehounds tonight. If anyone plays, please drop me a message and I'll switch games after I finish up whatever I'm in the middle of.
 
As far as having openings it may be tight. We may have to do a rollcall of people who still want to play and those that don't.

Looking at that list in the OP, some of those names have changed. I know CillCupid and I think Wahoo are both gone now. I'll have to get an updated list later today.

There's some people who haven't touched the game in a while. Crowbb, Cillkupid or whatever his name was, Mr Wahoo, Rx Man, that one guy Ramo and Maximo ;)

hey, I was on last week. I just didn't make this week.
 
If you guys make some room or let me in the squad I would really, really appreciate it! I swear I'll play like mad every Tuesday and Thursday night at the very least. I've been keeping up with this thread and when I saw Chromehounds on sale for $30 I couldn't resist.
 
I jumped on the 30 chromehounds from frys too. Once I figure out how to play I'd be up for being an alternate or something if you guys are ever one down for the night. Dunno if they have them in this game but I'm big on support classes for the FPS that I usually play. Medic.Resup, Engie etc..
 
Hey, I'm having trouble with the final mission, can anyone give me a good strategy, and more importantly exactly what mech to build? I have beaten every mission besides this one on class S, so I have al lthose parts. I also have xbox live, if the shop has anything good, and I recently made a a pretty big mech to beat the mission, and unfortunately I killed Edgardo and Oscar or Carlos, but not the other, so I only got a class A, stupid me, I didn't know who was who. But anyway what I was saying was I beat it with class A so I have that part too.

Thanks a lot CAGs.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and right afterwards, I'm going to get XBL Gold over xbl, and I'd like to join you guys, learn some things, andb ecome a kickass player. I can take any RT besides Heavy Gunner (well I don't like the arching weapons, like the howitzers), or commander, the rest are fine.

It is pretty hard but it can be done. I posted my strategy a few pages back:

[quote name='halfbent']You still need to add me into the OP Linkin. ;)[/QUOTE]

Crap! sorry man, I totally forgot. Next time I boot up the game I'll check it again to see who you replaced.
 
Linkin wahoo is still in the clan on the first post, but someone took him out in the actual game. He still plays a bit, but I'm not sure if he wants back in or not if spaces become available.

Yeah I think you got the 1000 points for destrying the first hound, Carlos or Oscar, and then you got another 1000 for not having any parts damaged.

I can't do that wit hthe borrowed hound, so I built a heavy mech to destroy all 3 of them, to nail the oscar and carlos 1000 points, but I mistook Edgardo for one of them and ended the mission accidentally.

I really don't know if I can get the no damaged parts. I can build a mech with 4 machine guns in a group, and that kills the first guy easily, and barely beat the second guy, but I wasn't really being careful.

Maybe I'll try that no damaged parts instead of killing all 3, thanks.
 
Well I am back from the dead (32 tax returns later). I should be back for some clan matches starting this week.
 
So I need a squad. I don't know if you need a noob like me, but if you could show me the ropes (not that much, I know a lot already) I'm sure I could be an asset to your team.

Plus I have no life so I'll be able to log on and join you almost any time.
 
[quote name='Jack7Of7Spades7']Plus I have no life so I'll be able to log on and join you almost any time.[/quote]Hahahaha. For his brutal honesty, I say this guy needs a spot.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']So since XBL is down our Hound Tuesday (10/17), do you guys want to play tonight?[/quote]

Crap, I had not put 2 and 2 together yet and was planning on playing on Tuesday. I doubt I'll be able to swing it tonight, but I should be in for Thursday.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']So since XBL is down our Hound Tuesday (10/17), do you guys want to play tonight?[/QUOTE]

I will be there.
 
For the new CAGs on the game, I'd love to hop on tonight for a bit. Do we have to be in a clan though? I don't know how the online aspect of this works. Or can we just jump into the same game?

You have to be part of the squad if you want to participate in the war. For free battle you can join anyone. Unfortunately the only person that can modify the roster is Ramo Z, send him a pm or find him online and have him kick someone out. (if possible)
 
Hey, since Live is down tomorrow, does anyone wanna try to get together tonight instead? For the new guys, just add me as a friend. Ill look for you, and if we at least can't get ramo to dump old members in time, we can play some free-battles.

Deja Vu! There's a glitch in the Matrix....everybody RUN!!!!!
 
Sent you a Friend Request darkrage.

I just wanna blow some shit up. If it's in an online war, then even better, but as long as things go "boom".
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']If Ramo doesn't do some cuts we might just have to play some free battle.[/QUOTE]
ok, so I'm cuttin:

Linkin
Darkrage
Maximo
Cheapy
Shipwreck



I just kidding don't kill me. I'll check the lineup today and drop a few. I'm sure there are a few spots we can free up. How may do we need?
