So are all of our Texans doing ok after Ike hit last night? I talked with Sniper yesterday and he said that he shouldn't be in the areas that were going to be affected. Clans have players from just about every corner of the US, so I hope everyone's players in TX are doing ok. Reading stories this morning about those who did not want to evacuate and it's not painting a pretty picture.

Most of RVN has adopted the habit of writing what room we are in, and where, in the COMMENT bubbles above our names in your PSN Friends list. So just check that out. As the servers are still a little unpredictable these early days, we're hesitant on saying "RVN will always be in Central whatever," y'know? If you have any RVNs on your list, check their COMMENT.

Hey, pretty good! I didn't like the one dubbed "first song" and the last one started sounding a lot like the others....probably because of the use of the same synth and such throughout all the songs, but in listening to the first two, I was really impressed. Nice work, man.

Yes, we will see U-Freq on iTunes in the near future. That's been on our plan book since June.

Yeah, sorry that the podcast is up a little late this week, guys, but as you can see, we didn't want another week to pass without the new player going up, and we think that you'll like it. Just with the PAUSE button, I know I do! LOL Urgent Fury is going to be SICK come October! SIIIIIIIIIIIICK!

Good show, guys! Good show!

LOL.....Cow, quit being the only person on this thread who's tryin' t'kill Christmas, huh?! LOL I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was get to my 'puter to find out who won this thing. And yeah, I'm sittin' here still naked doin' it. LOL Good thing it's not chilly. Being a player who has been fortunate once in a TACMAP tourney to go to the final match, I know what the players of both SHO and S&B were going through last night. A lot of players here say that there's no feeling quite like your very first TACMAP war in UF ever....but they would be wrong. There's no feeling quite like the one you get in the final championship match against an opponent who, you know, deserves to be there just as much as you do, and hence, that makes them all the more formidable. It makes the moment all the more tense. You really don't know WHAT'S going to happen, and you can walk in with all the bravado in the world, or all the apprehension in the world, but until that final bullet's fired, it can truly go either way. Something for a lot of clans here to shoot for for those who think "the magic's gone" after you get your first UF war out of the way. I was just going to put up a new thread announcing the winners of Riot Act, but honestly, if you ask me, this is a great enough thread as it is, with everyone's excitement on these posts enough to keep it around. So in saying that, I'd like to congratulate S&B for pulling off a great win here in Riot Act. If I'm correct, and please correct me if I'm wrong (?), but I believe this was your first TACMAP tourney? If so, you guys handled the stage like pros. And now you ARE pros. Great job and Puddy, I will be contacting you for your information needed for the shot glasses. To SHO, what can I say? You guys held the #1 spot in this 13-week tourney for about 85% of it. SHO was steamrolling the competition left and right and you definitely defined yourselves as a force to appreciate each and every time someone went against you. If you've never made a name for yourselves here at UF before, you certainly did it last night and throughout these last 13 weeks. I tip my proverbial hat to you in congratulations and recognition for a fine job. And with that, Riot act is done, and I'd like to thank ALL the clans that participated in the tourney. I'd like to think that it was a fun one. It's always good to see a good tourney, filled with good clans, get taken all the way through so that an end is realized. And I know some folks here will always bring up the unwritten "UF Champ Curse" for whatever reason, saying that UF "drives its winners away" (for whatever motive we'd have for THAT....LOL). When people say that, either around here or on the safety of their own forum, I just think to myself "they really don't think things through." Any past "champ" of UF isn't around for a reason. Either their overall attitude or antics got them ostracized from here or their lack of appreciation for how things run here at UF got them forcibly pushed away. If a clan wins this tourney while embodying what we hold important around here, that makes the winner all the more treasured. And something tells me that S&B won't be going anywhere. That S&B isn't running to the top of the hills saying how "BS" urgent Fury is or that the creators were just trying to screw them every step of the way. LOL Perhaps that unwritten curse just got broken? We'll see. But I believe it has. And it starts with a very good clan, winning a very great battle against a very formidable opponent. It just doesn't get ANY better in a UF tourney. Good job, both of you. And thank you for finishing off this tour of UF: Riot Act with honor AND dignity. (And Cow, quit killin' Christmas. LOL) ;D

Oh, make no mistake.....Metallica didn't get "huge" until they went a little more mainstream with the Black album. They were big before that, but nothing they did before could touch the money they made after the Black album. As much as I love old-school Metallica....I really like the Black album.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn..................I love those close ones and I hate those close ones.....depends which side I'm on.

Oooooo, updates. VERY exciting!

Good try and glad you had a good time with it.

St. Anger took a LONG time to grow on me, but it eventually did. I DLed Death Magnet last night and was listening to it today. When they said they were going back to their roots, they weren't kidding. So far, so good. I like it. It was refreshing to only see ten tracks to the album with all of the tracks having some good body to them all.

I'd like to know what team they played to play that game for them? Cause it sure didn't look like the Bears! LOL It was the Raiders. Because from what I heard, they didn't show up for THEIR game.

Wooooowwwwww.....if they really did limit the number of servers well......I just don't get that logic.

The podcast will be up this evening, Tuesday.

The Bears had me hootin' and hollerin' Sunday night. What a game, huh?!

LOL

we are, wednesday night SERVED

We couldn't even start a clan till saturday, and even then it was jacked up.. We could only send out like 4 invites at a time, then it was 2, then it was none..There wasn't even a delete clan button... I left the clan and started over on sunday, and it works fine now. I'm wondering if I should do the same. The RVN clan was started on Friday. Can anyone else corroborate Reverend's story here? Someone who may have started their clan Sunday or later, and it works fine now, with you being able to get ALL your guys into the clan itself?

The final stage is set and we have a colossal match-up hitting us this week. With SxB dispatching 101 and SHO laying LPK to rest, Skull & Bones will be going head to head with Shadow Ops this week to decide the final champion of the Urgent Fury: Riot Act TACMAP tourney. And UF could not be more excited! For weeks now, SHO has held the #1 spot in territories won, but slowly and surely, SxB has been accumulating more real estate to finally overtake that #1 spot in the final week of regular play. Both SxB and SHO have certainly created their own successful paths to victory here, and now the UF community gets to see just WHO gets to walk the final mile to victory. I'd like to congratulate both teams on a job well done in getting to the final match. Just for the hell of it, I put a poll up to kick up the suspense and drama before this great final match. And if you DON'T have a favorite or just DON'T know who the heck is going to walk away with this one, then just vote for the clan YOU want to see holding up the UF championship shot glasses in a celebratory toast by the champs....and hopefully they'll send in a pic of it for the UF website. Here we go! - TOW

Hahaha!!!! That's awesome. I can't say I'm sad at all, being that I'm a Colts fan. Then that means you're still crying in your beer over the Bears kicking down the door to your new stadium and fucking up the Colt's house warming party. Eh....their first victory at the new "Luke" is just gonna have to wait until next time. Oh, and thanks for testing out our new running back for us. He was pleased with your new turf. ;D

The matches and brackets for the new RONIN II tourney are now up as child boards of this public PS3 forum. Please see your matches and schedule accordingly. Your matches begin Wednesday, and good luck to all who participated! - TOW

Hmmmm.....I would have to disagree with you, Hog. I'm still trying to ween the CoD4 out of my blood for this game.....the speed, the controls, etc. I REALLY like this game and can see myself playing just this map for the next month and, when it ends on the 5th, not play CoD4 for 9 days until the full game comes out. I LIKE what's going on for Confrontation. Everything you mentioned MAKES the game more real. Believable. Running.....try running and being responsive to flash things in front of you when carrying guns, grenades, armor and such. Even an NFL running back will have a problem. It's near impossible to run around a corner, see an enemy, recognize it's an enemy and then train your gun on the target when in a hostile situation. The slight blur effect is great. As for seeing the targets easier than hitting them.....perhaps you're looking at it wrong (the situation, not the target). When you're talking about targets so far away, you're also dealing with conditions and such as well. Wind is a possibility, though a small one, I think. The other is the fact that very RARELY, if at all now, does your crosshairs STOP moving when training on a target. Because of this, you're pulling your trigger when it's essentially moving. If that's happening, your bullet is NOT going to land at the precise place you're looking at. That's the way I see it, anyway. And also, it makes for situations when I DO hit someone from far away that much cooler. Lastly....with the STG and such, some guns just aren't MADE for those long/far shots, no matter WHAT scope you put on it, I think. And as for the cover....who DOESN'T like a lot of cover in this game?! Makes it more real. Gives EVERYONE a great chance at not only survival, but for ambush as well. This aspect is GREAT. Slows the game down. Makes you more careful and aware of your surroundings. What I've seen of this game so far, I'm IMPRESSED and I'm glad that it's back. Already I'm enjoying this game more in one map (with the handicap of getting re-acclimated with the controls) than I enjoyed all the maps from CoD4. I'm happy it's back and I'm looking forward to the full game.
