    Plus, it's all about the drops. A lad on reddit said he got 3x 334+ drops in 6 matches

    I'm seeing at least 3 legendary drops per match, all LL-appropriate.

    335 autos are dropping all around me, but slightly out of my reach :(

    Only got one decent drop last night - and even then it wasn't something I needed - a 335 class item. That was out of 10 games.

    Only drop I got was a 331 IB RL. Straight into Truth.

    In other news, Fusions are fun, especially when you stop a FOH mid animation.

    oh yeah - had a weird one last night where me, captain, solvable and nev were in a fire team together - and when we match made into the next game myself and Captain were in a game on 618 and the other lads were in a game on Pantheon - while still in game chat together.

    Was a funny one.

    Yeah I have noticed weird glitches in CoE and in PvP since the April update, I must get them on video after I get the video of Dude up later on :P

    A guy shottyed me mid FoH last night, and tea bagged me. Then immediately killed me on respawn and tea bagged again. I was in his lobby for about 4 matches, didn't give a damn about strategy or tactics... I was raging, and we chased each other around the map trading tea bags.

    If only there where 3 teabaging a fourth, you'd have a genuine pyramid teabag.

    I've finally started getting some gains with the endless MIDA reticule debacle, and it's going OK for me.
    I have to admit it though, started using the Jade Rabbit on sniping maps to great effect over the weekend.

    Twice last night I finished first place on the winning team, but the IB weekly bounty for top overall score didn't tick for me. Anyone else encounter this or am I doing something wrong??

    p.s. on the subject of doing something wrong... I must post the clip of our dodgy run of Goggleballs last night where I subbed in as gaze holder. I've done it before and wasn't worried about it, I was pretty sure I was holding his gaze. Bit he was barely shooting darts if at all, and would quickly look away from me or start attack with his head shooty beam. I was confused.

    Has to be the top overall score, i.e you need to win the best around medal

    Good loot drops all over the place last night, and this IB in general. Not bothered by, or hoping for anything from my level 5 package in particular. (Although wouldn't say no to the IB sidearm to complete the collection)

    I think I have the video from Oryx where he was taking half an hour to slam and all :P
