Mike Cassidy, Chief Executive Officer of Xfire, said, “We can think of no better home for Xfire than MTV Networks, a company that’s as user-obsessed as we are."

Except that MTV wants to rape their users for all they are worth.

I was happy for the entreprenuers. This is their "big break." They just achieved one of the two things every entreprenuer dreams of. A big huge buy out (or a big huge IPO).

congrats to them. I really doubt we will see ANY change for the worse. They'll probably do some integreation with MTV's other internet stuff, and actually advertise for it.

It might actually be good. Imagine it becoming as popular as AIM in the gaming world. No longer will you have to say "Do you have xfire?" before you ask "What's your xfire name?"

and mtv doesn't rape their users. MTV just offers crappy content and gets away with it because their a monopoly. In this case, there's no crappy content to be offered, except maybe some worthless capabilities added on to xfire that we can just ignore.


p.s.
1.3 patch looks fucking awesome. i'm stoked.

CAL kiddies are funny. They always use "it's part of the game!" to defend lame tactics, but whenever the game is going to change they cry and cry because apparently by "it's part of the game" they mean "i like it this way, stoofoo."

They'd rather mantain the status quo than deal with something more challenging and more realistic.

Honestly, I applaud EA for this. They're making the game harder, not easier, which means skill becomes more of a factor, not how good you are at timing your "leave squad" and "join squad" actions.

I also agree with ratnads. they should not change a big aspect of the game. i like the game how it is now.
This is the overwhelming sentiment. Really? You like the game how it is now? YOU WEREN'T SAYING THAT RIGHT AFTER 1.21, OR 1.2, OR 1.12 OR ANY OTHER FUCKING PATCH. QUIT BEING OLD WOMEN FAGS. "I FEAR CHANGE WAAAAAAAAAA." GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Am I thrilled about no squad hopping? Nope. My style of play is "grab a ground vehicle or armor if I can, otherwise spawn as close to the action as possible and do the dirty work no one else will." Now? I'll just adapt. It will pretty much be the same thing, only I'll have to spawn on either the squad I was in when I died, or the CP nearest the "action". Not that hard. And I'll still be great. I think this will actually encourage (slightly, probably very slightly) better teamplay on pubes. And to the fags crying about "It will ruin competitive play waaaaaaaaahhhhhhh": this is yet another reason to not play competitively.

They need to do it so when the SL dies, the player that is SL cycles to the bottom of the squad and next player becomes SL.

Also when players spawn on SL, they should be parachuting in.

That is a cool idea.

Cept, when SL dies the highest ranking Squad member should become new SL.

so, just to make sure i understand, squad hopping = everyone leaving/rejoining the squad to let the only living guy be the leader so everyone can respawn?

Air dropped vehicles: Squad members can now send a request up the chain of command for a vehicle to be dropped at their location.

Of course, that just means commanders can be even bigger whores...

After seeing an unofficial list of changes for patch 1.3 I was absured about one of the changes.
You were absured about it? Retared.

killing squad hopping makes it harder to stay close to the action, but makes things more realistic and sensible.

adding airdropped vehicles makes it SUPER EASY to stay close to the action, is totally realistic and sensible.

go ea.

remind me to put my dick in the eye of the next person I see that bitches about the new patch.

I just thought the quote was badly worded or something along those lines...sounded funay to me. What exactly are they "uber-obsessed" about?

As far as the patch...gg EA, it is a step in the right direction for the "IRL" chanters. At least they are fixing gameplay issues and not nerfing weapons. Now I just wish they'd un-nerf the Blackhawk's mini-gun.
