Popular Post RedStarRocket91 Posted November 25, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 "Send me out... with a bang..." November 29th marks the worldwide release of Sony's PlayStation 4, and the end of this generation of consoles. And what a generation it's been: in the past eight years we've thought with portals, called in killstreaks, taken on the Reapers, beaten the Locust horde, built giant monuments block by block, raced across both streets and tracks, explored ancient ruins and sunken cities, crawled through Pripyat, slain dragons, survived the nuclear wasteland, foiled the Joker, unleashed the force, and stopped the Didact. But despite the release of the next generation, not everyone will be moving on to pastures new, playing on increasingly quiet servers as our friends and companions slowly abandon their consoles for a whole set of new adventures. Our next Community Event is dedicated to those who have chosen to stay behind for the twilight months of the current generation, as we want to ensure that even as friends lists begin to shrink you can still get into a lobby full of site members to laugh with, shoot at, and crouch over the corpses of. And what better way to celebrate such an amazing generation than by spending a day playing the games which, perhaps, defined them? Our next few Community Events are therefore dedicated to the games which kept us enthralled for so long, and which best represent what the seventh generation could be at its finest: Gears of War 3, which brought dedicated servers and the fluidest combat in the whole series to the franchise which invented cover-based shooting as it exists today Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, whose break from traditions and pushing of boundaries was so great it was emulated by almost every shooter on the market thereafter Halo 3, the final instalment of the original trilogy which brought the Chief to the next-generation and which is often regarded as the 'pure' Halo experience All members of the forums are invited to come along and relive these gaming giants one last time, regardless of whether you're one of those who'll be sticking with the current generation until the eventual death of its servers, or chose to pick up a new console the moment it became available. The first of these new Events will take place on Gears of War 3 on Saturday the 30th of November at 12pm EST. To join a lobby, simply sign up in this thread, and then on the day send a message to the 'RedStarRocket91' gamertag, including your forum username if it differs from your gamertag. We hope you'll along come along to at least one of these Events and give the seventh generation the send-off it deserves. In the meantime, please sign up for the Gears of War 3 lobby, and stay tuned for the announcement of our next Community Event! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveillance Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I would love to join this! Xbox One doesn't come out where I live until 2014 so I'll live some old memories. GT: Purpl3 Krayon Xbox 360, I know you want to sleep. I know you want to rest. But you must stay alive with me for the next month. It'll all be okay. You have served me so well and brought entertainment to me and many of my friends who couldn't afford you. This will be over soon Xbox 360. Your baby brother was just born, to carry on your greatness. Serve me one last time and I'll make it worthwhile.

BeckoningZebra1 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Awesome way to send out the 360, I'll join for the games that I have. P.S. COD4? Black Ops (1) was probably the best Call of Duty game for the 360 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
