Wii (Part 4)

A few days ago I started playing The Conduit again after a fairly long hiatus from the game (well, actually, I did a couple of private matches a few weeks before this, but I wasn't doing public matches). I actually had some fun and didn't run into too many hackers or glitch exploiters (although I did run into one hacker, showing that this game is still the Wild West of Wii online gaming). I found a group to play with in Worldwide Team Reaper mode, and lucky for me, somebody voted for the Chargeable weapon set. That means a Carbonizer! Oh how I love the Carbonizer, but you have to grab it quick before someone else does. The Deatomizer is also a lot of fun in this game, so I used that after I died and lost my giant laser beam of death. The Trust weapons are just awesome in this game. But if someone takes my laser beam there will be hell to pay! Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii's component cables.

I managed to get in some more decent matches in The Conduit. This was a worldwide Team Reaper on Warehouse. I really love this level. I have so many memories of team matches where we'd fight like mad to invade each other's bases. This match wasn't quite like that, but it was a Trust Weapon set, and I do love that. Unfortunately, I only got to use the Carbonizer once before I died and it despawned. But the Deatomizer and TPC Launcher are excellent weapons, so I don't mind using those. "dreadful" was glitch exploiting like crazy in this match and several other ones by fusing certain weapons together to get a rapid fire TPC Launcher or other rapid fire weapons (like the SMAW). Aside from that crap, I had fun in this game. Recorded the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii's component cables.

I played several matches on The Conduit yesterday and managed to get into some games that weren't full of annoying glitchers or the stupid Marathon/Explosives/Streets combination that ruins nearly every match. This was one of those better games, and lucky me, it was the Trust Weapon set. I was outnumbered though, so this wasn't exactly easy. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii's component cables. I'm using the Wii Remote and nunchuck.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi shutdown is almost upon us, so Andy hosted some private matches for The Conduit. Luckily we had six people, so the teams were even. I played fairly well in the first two matches, so I'll be uploading those. Infirmary was always my favorite map from this game, but someone voted for Drudge weapons. Yuck. RonJohn and I have Wii Speak, so that's what you're hearing in the beginning of the match. Unfortunately, I only got a little bit of use out of the device with The Conduit and Monster Hunter Tri.

Look what I found laying in the middle of the street. Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii's component cables. I'm using a Wii Remote and nunchuck.

Some footage of me playing Conduit 2 online on the Wii. I'm using a nunchuck and Wii Motion Plus. This is the first video of several matches I did with this group. In this video my aim was still a little off because I was nervous about recording myself playing. So, my hand was still a little shaky and I was having trouble steadying my aim. However, my aim started to go back to normal as the matches went on. I'm using my typical Carbonizer loadout here. It is, without a doubt, my favorite weapon and loadout in the game. I'm sure some people are going to wonder how I'm firing instantly, so I'll answer that now. I simply switch the weapon to secondary mode almost exactly at the moment I start firing. Secondary mode has no windup. The Carbonizer has its weaknesses though. As you'll see, I got stuck by a radiation grenade in this match by Navy*Seals, who was a lot of fun to play with. This footage was recorded using the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii's component cables. Match took place on April 11, 2012.

More footage of me playing Conduit 2 online on the Wii. I'm using a nunchuck and Wii Motion Plus. This is the second match that I recorded with this group. My aim is improving, but only slightly. I actually ran out of ammo in the middle of the match and had to start stealing other people's guns. Man was I happy to die though. That meant respawning with more Carbonizer ammo!

More footage of me playing Conduit 2 online on the Wii. I'm using a nunchuck and Wii Motion Plus. This is the third match that I recorded with this group. My aim was improving compared to before, but still not quite normal... This was yet another Carbonizer match. I had some fun cat and mouse moments with Navy*Seals, who kept disappearing with the AR-C Eclipse. You can even see him stick me with a radiation grenade using his stealth loadout. This footage was recorded using the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii's component cables. Match took place on April 11, 2012.

More footage of me playing Conduit 2 online on the Wii. I'm using a nunchuck and Wii Motion Plus. This is the fourth match that I recorded with this group. Here, I'm changing things up and not using my Carbonizer loadout. Instead, I'm using my two machine gun loadouts. But ironically, somebody kills me with a Carbonizer! I didn't get to use the Dark Star as much as I wanted, but it's tough to rack up kills with that gun unless you have some teammates around and can leech off their kills. Somehow though, I got a Dark Star level 2 rating from tagging only one person. I don't know exactly how that happened, other than it must be a glitch. On another note, my shotgun skills suck....

More footage of me playing Conduit 2 online on the Wii. I'm using a nunchuck and Wii Motion Plus. This is the fifth match that I recorded with this group. I'm back to the Carbonizer again. Yet again I ran out of ammo and had to take someone's Deatomizer. I used to really like that gun in Conduit 1, but here the projectiles travel too slowly (especially the charged shot). That's why I don't use it in my loadout even though it might otherwise be a nice complement to the Carbonizer and benefit from my energy damage increase. Also, you can't do semi-automatic fire with any sort of speed like you could in Conduit 1. You have to switch to secondary mode. So the Deatomizer is out of the equation for me. If High Voltage makes a Conduit 3, they should fix the Deatomizer and make it more like the Conduit 1 version. MattyIce was using the Carbonizer in this match as well. Hooray for giant laser beams of death! This footage was recorded using the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Wii's component cables. Match took place on April 11, 2012.
