I've played with these guys a bit.

It's not very difficult to do well in Platinum game when you've got players like them on your flanks. 

If the group's purpose has nothing to do with special, odd ball challenges or even speed runs, what's the point? It's just seems like a made-up badge used for bragging rights and circle jerking. 


These guys are usually quite open to character builds/discussion and how-to-play and other game-buidling ideas. It's not about ego-stroking and elitism. They usually share on how to have more fun playing. i.e. Not nuking spawns every wave, team synergy, etc.

I would say they just want to have fun at the highest level the game has to offer.


 If that's the case, then the people who will benefit most from these type of  discussions are those who have not yet reached "elite" levels. Even saying that word makes me want to roll my eyes.

  

I'm an elite player. U mad?

The term "Elite Xbox player" makes me roll my eyes too though. :happy: Now there's an oxymoron if ever I saw one.



The term "elite player" in general is laughable in a game like this one.

To be fair though, I'd probably call myself an "elite" too if I managed to be relatively successful playing on your connection. It can't be easy lagging 2 hours behind everyone else in the game.

:happy:

 

Well to be fair, I only lag 2 hours behind everyone else if the host is on the moon. Which most PUG hosts seem to be. 

On most hosts there's quite a delay (even on good ones) but it's just something I'm used to.

Also, the term 'elite' simply means the best in a particular category. The category in this case is ME3 MP.

To be fair Ashen his post on that forum wasn't really inflammatory, I think he was looking for a serious discussion there and was basing everything off his own situation. A lot of us however are in our 30s or late 20s so our parents or finances have little to do with anything. I think he had a hard time imagining anyone would choose xbox by choice.

Yes we have all heard your disdain for us console players again and again. You even posted a thread on the Arelex forums assuming the only reason we played on console was our parents didn't buy us a gaming pc, which turned out to not be true for any of us.

I know you are just playing around but it the whole console war is a little tired.


GEEEEEZZ THIS IS SOOOOO TIRED. OK so you play on the pc Lard_Sirian..........nice.....we get it......you think pc makes you a "better" gamer than all console players.......ok.....we get it...... Anything else? Someone please take the job of putting a counter of how many times he has inferred this please. Im starting to get the feeling this is the only thing he's typed in this forum..... geez.

In the famous words of Martin (Shepard) Luther King Jr "can we all just get along?" 

I have a dream...that pc players and console players hold hands as they defeat the reaper threat..... (Lard_Sirian..um no Mr. Shepard King Jr......everyone battling the reapers on console are scrubs....)

Forgive me if I am wrong or misreading you but it seems your tone is downright looking down at other gamers simply due to platform preference....if its just for fun then....hey...I get it..if not....well then..........it just really says more about you doesnt it?

Yeah. I didn't imagine the average age of the TA members to be so high. And believe it or not that thread was made in the hope that I would find some of the TA members would move to PC when next gen consoles came out.

It was great getting to play with Tatty... I wanna play with the rest of you guys! :wizard:

 Yeah. This game isn't a PvP type of multiplayer. It's co-operative. No duh, right? But threads like this really try to milk whatever "competition" or "eliteness" can be gotten out of the game and it rubs other people the wrong way. It rubs me the wrong way.

  Why did I even bother commenting here? Eh, I saw what I thought was part of a regular discussion thread on my friend's news feed and became curious.

 Here's a thought:

 If one wants to make a truly elite group, they would not advertise it in the multiplayer forum board. They would hire men in black suits to secretly deliver letters of notice to each player's door step.

 I hope Megabeast takes no offense to all that I've said here.

Well, you've got two down, although I really don't consider myself that much of a TA player. I basically just played with SlimJim once then signed up on the forums.

The bit about the men in black suits makes it sound more like these elite players are aliens who need to pay their registration fees to the MIB.

You could be right, but I'd be lying if I said the responses from people who are "rubbed the wrong way" by threads like this are pretty damn amusing. Bumping this thread with funny comments about how the "elites" and "BSN celebrities" are stroking their e-peens keeps it on the front page, which means more people will see, be "rubbed the wrong way" and leave more hilarious comments.

It's a neverending cycle of hilarity.

True, but especially so in this game or any other non competitive game. I mean, at least people can make real money playing Halo, GoW, Starcraft ect...

What's with all the hostility? I joined the group because I wanted to make some new friends and get to play with some of the best. I'm happy Cold took me in, and he's a great player. I don't view S.p.E.c.T.R.E. X as an e-peen contest, I view it as a group for players to get together and have fun, and that's what it's supposed to be. The people I've played with so far are great, and I'm looking forward to playing with everyone more. Forget the "elitism", forget the "competitive" stuff, just have fun.

If you want the group to be special it needs to be exclusive. That means not letting everyone in just because they want in.
