lets get some action going.

Gears of War.

I have been on line about 4-5 hours per day. I haven't seen your name pop up yet. I have been playing a little during the day and then a lot after 10pm.

Need someone for co-op in an hour.

Casual style for the cog tags.

Just kidding. Thanks for all the help about the Saitek Keyboard. I'll have it in my hands by next Friday.

DashK-Got your message but I was in the middle of a match. I tried to invite you into that match but the option was not high lighted.

Has anyone been able to invite someone into an existing game? Or do you have to create/host a game in order to do this?

I will be on later tonight (probably after 10) if anyone wants to play.

I will be on after 10pm Central Time. I usually play for 2-3 hours off and on. If you end up being on tonight maybe we can figure it out. Otherwise, if someone figures out how to do this, please post.

If enough Neo members want to hook up one night, we could do that as well.

Yep...I am an hour behind you. I am planning on getting on around 10pm which would be 11 your time. If you end up being on, let's try to figure out how to get in a match together.

Agreed, that was a lot of fun:buttrock: It would be nice to get a few more members from here to play. It sounds like several people here have the game.

Supposedly, my local Target is having a sale on them today. I'm heading over there right now. If they ACTUALLY have them, I'll be joining you guys this afternoon online.

Can you play ranked matches with people on your friends list?

I don't think so but I haven't tried. I thought that I read that this wasn't available to avoid people from racking up points. Maybe someone else can confirm this?

I play this pretty much every night after 10pm Central time if anyone else goes on, just look me up.

yeah ranked matches are random and i dont see a clan feature so i dont know how you'd invite people to be on your team i'll look into this and see if u can, player matches can u invite other players too.

Last night when I was messing around with the match options, it looked like you could have a public match and reserve up to eight slots for guests. I am not sure if this is what you all did or not but since no outsiders joined us, this is maybe something to look at.

So, if there is only four of us, we could have a players match with four guest slots reserved and then hope that others with the game stumble into our match?

I know that when I look for a match, I go into custom matches with everything left in default. This brings up a huge list of everyone hosting a game and how many people are currently playing. I then join the one that looks the best. However, when I join someone elses game, I have not been able to send out an invite.

no we had some outsiders join later on, i dont know how many he reserved. i always just reserve one spot. i still think a lot of people just got their copy, half my friends list was playing gears, but they were all in single player and didnt wanna go online. i was trying to host games earlier and no one was joining in my area. plus it was pretty late, who knows.

I'll be hoping online with this now that I've got the hang of it (exploded many-a-head with the Magnum today :buttrock:)

Was planning on going on today with a friend who just bought his 360, but he's having problems connecting to Live with his new provider so I was just tearing through the game on Hardcore.

Not sure when I'll be going online exactly, but feel free to add me to your list.

Dash, sorry about not responding to your invites...you have a knack for hitting me up while I'm knee-deep in a good cut scene during campaign mode.

If anyone wants to add me feel free...XBL tag: VoodooPeople.

I'll be the guy bum-rushing too often (much to my own detriment) with the shottie.

Maybe there is a night this week (or in the near future) where we could get 6-8 of us involved for a team match? As long as the host has all of the gamer tags via friends request, it would be pretty easy to make this happen. I know that I have a few of you on my friends list already.

So...does anyone have a suggestion for a night/time that would work.

The sooner we get this going, the sooner we can start killing each other:buttrock:
