Any word on the new server?
 

Haven't been around much for the last month or so...Was wondering if there has been any word on the new red teams server?

By the way, while taking a break I've been playing AC4 and GTA5 on the 360. Both are very fun if you dig those franchises.

Picked up Ghosts too but haven't really played it. Definately the best graphics yet, tho, that I can tell and probably the most realistic weapon feel, altough I didn't play blackops2 so not sure if that's entirely new.

I believe they said it would be coming out shortly after Velious...which means that's their top priority for now, though I can't verify this, or find where I read it.

At the time they announced it they said they had different people working on Velious and the new server so one had nothing to do with the other, in terms if dev resources.

I don't remember them saying anything about it coming with Velious. Many, myself included, speculate that it should because teams pvp needs Velious to balance Kunark, and we did that ad nauseum for a while there after the announcement, but I don't remember anything official in that regard. Doesn't mean they didn't say that, I just didn't see it and was paying close attention daily for a couple months after the announcement.

Thanks for replying, I'm not arguing with you, just don't want to contrite to rumor being passed off as fact. I'm guessing nothing really has been said in the last month or so?

I'm looking forward to a fresh server. :)

looking at sometime within the next year or so for teams.

Good graphics on console? wut u talking bout? Compare to PC versions and get pwned.

I don't play anything but mmos on pc anymore. Like to sit on the couch for the regular fare. I'm sure it looks better on PC but there is no way I'm sitting at my PC to play it.

But, yes, in an apples to apples comparison of older titles to ghosts on the same hardware, its the best looking one I've seen yet. Thanks for the irrelevant oneupsmanship, tho. lol

Where's the proof that it might be up to a year?

Also been enjoying GTA5, however after the recent screwups with BF4 I made it my last console game for this gen...no sense in buying into the yearly release of COD or anything else as they'll be available for PS4 (and "XBox lol" of course) :p

That was my thinking, too, swish, but my friends and I have all concluded that we are going to wait till at least summer for the new consoles. For one, because we are all tapped out with kids, other interests, etc and by the time you get an extra controller, accessories, and a couple games that's going to be an 800 dollar day at least. Not to mention if there is some manufacturing or design flaw like the overheating problem that caused the red ring on like 1/3 of all of the original 360s sold, we would like to buy after that is revealed and cleaned up.

But for me, mostly, its because I have way too many games that I want to finish and max out achievements for before I upgrade. I'm sure the lack of downward compatibility means we are getting a significant tech jump with this generation and bodes well for the future, but it really sucks when you still have a shelf full of games you would like to play but can't do them all at once.

So, having just gotten my box back online for the first time since spring, I couldn't wait on AC4 especially but also GTA5. Both are great if you like those games. I skipped blackops2 last year because they were getting so stupidly repetitive with the cod games I thought it was a waste of time and money, but the only shooter I've really played in a couple years has been BL2. I figured I was due so I grabbed ghosts. I ran the first couple of campaign missions and like one mp session. At first glance it seems like improved graphics (stunningly really) and a more realistic weapon feel. Very interested in the squad play, but finishing off AC right now.

What happened with BF? I have played the last couple but decided to hold off as my plate is full right now with the others.
