X800

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Fri Jun 18, 2004 2:28 pm

X800 has been ordered. Just got the Pro version. I didn't think it was worth $100 to enable 4 additional pixel pipelines. My CPU would be the bottleneck with the XT anyway, so I think the Pro is going to push about as many pixels as my system will allow. Sending my 9800 Pro to Dr. Aubuchon. Looks like everyone will be Far Cry, Doom 3, HL2, STALKER ready as of the middle of next week. Now we just need to organize some online game gatherings.

WORD!

Kevin: I liked the picture in that envelope

Count me in!

...although Farcry multiplay is nowhere near as good as it is single play...

Call of Duty multiplay BFV multiplay or even good ole Desert Combat... and I'm rockin.

I don't play such stuff. How about some Dungeon Siege? Or UT2004, or Cycles 3D, or System Shock 2? Or how about Quake 3, I'm always up for that. I just had it installed, but I uninstalled it again, so I'd have to put it back. You know, if everyone wants to play some kind of war game, I'd be up for Wolf ET, or RtCW. I've never played those MP.

If everyone starts playing all those other wacky war-games, I'm gonna crawl into the heatin' duct.

GET OUT!!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!

UT2004 is indeed a good multiplay (although technically its still a war game... of the future!)

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 11:16 am

No. Actually, I'd classify it as a sports title. (Because of the ladder matches, announcers, and Tournament being in the title)

There are some "recreations" of war scenarios in it though in the assault mode.

I like the sound of UT2004! Only problem is I don't seem to have it. I have heard so many good things about it, maybe I will just buy it.

McNevin. Wednesday. I need to get my software on. Which of the following do you have (CCD, Wrz ver, or orig)?
(PC)
UT2004??
Farcry
Battlefield Vietnam
Pandora Tomorrow (I hear the multiplayer is fantastic)
Thief 3
Hitman Contracts
Painkiller
Max Payne 2

(XBOX)
Full Spectrum Warrior
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Riddick
Driv3r
Spiderman 2
Rallisport 2
Dynasty Warriors 4

What else should I be checking out?

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 1:16 pm

McNevin: do you have CCD version 3.x? The one where you have to do a region crack to enable the extra correction and such? It works so much better than 4.x, but I don't have a copy anymore. It would make a perfect copy of anything I tried. 4.x is a pile of crap, and won't copy anything. Bleh...

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 1:49 pm

I may have that CCD 3, but I use Alc 120% these days. Which i need a better crack for.

As far as these go:
(PC)

UT2004 - NEED
Farcry - HAVE Bin/Cue
Battlefield Vietnam - Have bin/cue
Pandora Tomorrow -need
Thief 3 - need
Hitman Contracts - need
Painkiller -need
Max Payne 2 -have bin/cue

(XBOX)
Full Spectrum Warrior - have
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic - have
Riddick - have (ROCKS!)
Driv3r - dont have, dont care
Spiderman 2 - have for PC
Rallisport 2 - NEED
Dynasty Warriors 4 - Blah

What is your problem with battlefield? Its FUN dammit.

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 2:28 pm

Nah... It's not...

spidermonkey · Post by **spidermonkey** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 2:39 pm

-Spider and McNevin came out of nowhere and won!

I still have that commemorative Battlefield whiteboard somewhere...

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 2:46 pm

Yep... it's at mum's house. It's got Dino-Eggs and Devil's Crush scores on it too. We NEED a god-damned whiteboard plugin for the forum. Then we could post scores to old games. I suppose we could do it with text, but it's just not the same.

McN - do you need the CS or MX studios or anything of the like?

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Mon Jun 28, 2004 8:53 pm

You have the whole CS suite!

Yes bring that...

Already have the MX 2004 suite.

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 12:27 pm

I'll bring those first 2.

Which are what again?

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 1:21 pm

Hey McNevin, where is your card at currently?

I'm curious as to its progress since it isn't going that far.

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 2:17 pm

It's in California!

Estimated delivery date Jun 30, 2004 by 4:30 pm

Jun 29, 2004 9:33 am Arrived at Sort Facility OAKLAND CA

R3C · Post by **R3C** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 2:26 pm

O--o-o-Oakland.

The X800 is working out quite well. I can now play every game I have in maximum detail at very high resolutions. I think Far Cry is the only game I have that ever drops below V-Sync on occasion. Definitely a very nice card. I wish my monitor supported resolutions above 1600x1200. I may have to remedy that sometime. I could probably play all of my games in 2048x1536 with no problems. I need some demanding games to play on it now.

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 4:26 pm

Well there arenâ€™t any taxing games right now, so you should play battlefield Vietnam wile you wait for doom3.

Hah... I kid, I kid. Only joking.

I have only purposely not finished far cry, so that I might have a game to play with the new card!

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 7:10 pm

I actually have frozen throne ccd, and ssx3

please bring premere pro 7, and the cs suite.

youre bringing your whole xbox right?

Post by **enderzero** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 7:20 pm

huh?

Who needed those games then? I did?

Wasn't planning to bring either of my xboxes. Was there a particular reason for that? Game transferring?

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 7:26 pm

you have multiple? i guess you dont need to bring it... how are you going to get all the games i have then.

And yes those were games you needed to get form me.

Oh also, i gave you about 4 blank dvd-r discs to copy stuff for me, do you still have those?

Post by **enderzero** » Tue Jun 29, 2004 7:44 pm

yes I have those - I actually have like 8 DVD-Rs that I can't use since I have a +R only. I don't really have a lto of diskspace so it would probably be best for me to burn the games anyway.
