Dang it Certis! I had written a long post about how great the MP was last night, and then when I went to post. Nothing. Came to find out you locked the other thread.
Oh well, I basically just wanted to say that the MP is great fun, especially (like anything else) with Goodjers. I really couldn't be torn away from it to play Gears last night. Even though I received plenty of requests to play Gears last night, I just was having too much fun with LP.
Oh, and the VS. homing laser at the top of the tower, FTW. (Guy playing last night know what I'm talking about.

1 million copies sold since it's been available? Is this game that damn good? This bodes well for cross-console saturation and more 360 titles!

It's on like Donkey Kong. Even though the multiplayer doesn't have the polished gameplay of Gears, and I do have a few gripes about things like how it handles spawning and how its random map selection works, Lost Planet is crazy good fun and a refreshing change of pace. It's nice that they took the time to make a game where the mechanics and pacing are so different from the norm.

What the heck are you talking about? It was just released on Friday, not even Capcom would have sales numbers yet.

Check it out:
" Capcom is doing good business with their Xbox 360 games, last year's Dead Rising sold well even in Japan, but now with more people owning an Xbox 360, their latest game Lost Planet just sold over a million copies. This all happened in a very short period of time and they will probably sell a whole lot more in the weeks to come.
Earlier Capcom said they hoped to surpass the target of 740,000 copies and according to Investmentfirm Fisco who've conducted the research, it has been surpassed by a pretty large margin. I mentioned Japan earlier, but the sales numbers for Lost Planet are from Europe and the US even though the Japanese version is in stores since December last year. "
I think they may have counted the reserves in that number, it was in one of the top 10 lists for that category.

Babel Fish Translation from link: (for S&G's)
Europe & the USA: Over 1 million planet draws delivered 12.01.07 - Capcoms initial delivery quantity of the Actionspiels draws to planet Click Picture lies for Europe and the USA with altogether 1.040.000 units. That announces the Investmentfirma Fisco, the play came today in the two territories on the market. Thus Capcom exceeded its prognosticated distribution quantity of 740.000 units.

That story leads to a German site, who is reporting distribution, not sales. Oh, how I dislike game news reporting.

Btw, there was some suggestion of playing Ranked matches to unlock more character models. Zero, I looked in the manual under the section about character selection for the MP. It says you can unlock character patterns, not models. Which really is too bad, since there are only 3 models. Guess what we will be able to buy as DLC?

I am in for this, last night was a ton of fun. Except for one I'd hop into a VS and think I'd kick some major butt only to find you jerks had stolen the weapons off of it!
That was so delightfully evil. I love it!

Doh! Tuesdays are Tom Clancy nights. I'll be there for the foreseeable future.
We shall grapple with the ineffable, and see if we may not eff it after all.

I'm in fo' sho'!
That was awesome. Someone took it off the tower and I spent about 3 lives lugging it back up, only to have a VS climb it and take me out. Stupid big laser.

I was so proud of myself when I managed to leap a VS on top of that tower. No freaking room to move around, but it did the job!

Man, It was fun jumping on people with the VS. Those dummy grenades are very silly, but quite useful. Throw them near someone, fire, BOOM!

The dummy grenades are the best weapon evar. Too bad they walk off and explode on their own, I wanted to recruit an army of balloons to fight alongside me.

I finally joined the forum and will pick up Lost Planet Monday night with my BC expansion. I ought to be there Tuesday.
Excellent news! (Except the Burning Crusade part.

Something to play while the servers are down.

Yes... Yes... but I love my WoW! I am an addict I fully recognize that fact.
Btw, Zero, at what level do you have to get to playing ranked matches to unlock new color patterns? I have two each for the 3 models and I'm pretty sure that is what you start with. I found that just muting the Ranked players and playing elimination matches works best.

Lion Games sent out my copy on Friday and tracking says it's over in the other building, so I'll probably be joining you fellas.
NOTE: This is not a doodle bug.

Yeah, even with only 6 of us (I think) that was devilishly good fun. Imagine all the squishy targets for the homing laser with a full game >:)

I picked up LP on Saturday but haven't even popped it in the 360 tray yet (ah, life with kids...plus there was all that great football to watch this weekend). Anyway if folks are still playing MP on Tuesday when I log on I'm definitely up to try it out.

Okay, I have to go back on what I said. Yes, in the manual it states that there are only character patterns to be unlocked. But, according to numerous things I've read online there are other character models too. Although, I think its somewhat bogus that ranked matches are the only place to get them.
The only thing I can't find though is at what level you unlock them.
I did find in my searches how you can taunt people after you kill them.

At the moment I have three patterns for each, and I believe that it was at level 10 that I unlocked them.
XBL/PSN: zeroKFE | BHA: zeroKFE
I could have sworn I saw a guy running around with a character that looked like one of the guys with the green jacket at the beginning of the game. Someone ingame told me that at level 30 you unlock another pattern or something. Don't know how true that is.

Don't you do some game news reporting here and there?
I was unimpressed with the E3 demo, and all of the quirks with the multiplayer lobby kept me away from the MP demo. Now, I'm hearing all of this goodness from you guys. Damn it, I may have to stop after work and pick this up tonight.

It was this kind of attention whoring, inaccurate crap that spurned me into news writing in the first place, I'm well out of it now
