Just happened to pass by the RF:G community page. They really want you to get your ass back to Mars, and they got the XP to prove it.  Was just considering loading this one up again, and now I think I'll be getting that Ostrich Hammer after all!

wow going to play this later

This game is on my gift wishlist. I hope its under the tree! :D

I wish I still had my copy of the game.  The multiplayer was surprisingly good.

Holy shit! I'm going to be all over that.

Sounds nice, I should get to playing this game again.

I played a couple of rounds earlier today.  It's so crazy getting over 1k XP per round!!!  LOL  It was also a nice breather from MW2, and it made me remember that I FUCKING WRECK AT RFG!!! 
 
STARFOX!!!  METROID!!!  WHERE'S MY NIGGAS AT?!  I'm off at 8pm CST tomorrow night, so maybe we should get a party going with some folks and have an impromptu Bombing Run! 
 
Either way, I'm 20k XP from my 100k XP, and I think I might play enough to try and FINALLY get my Ostrich Hammer.

So that's why I've been getting so much experience. I just started playing again the day it started, and I knew something seemed off. 
  
@jakob187: Heh, I'm actually at just about the same place as you, so I'm definitely going to take this opportunity to work for that ostrich!!

So that's why I ranked up like 8 times after on match.
 
(First time I played online was today)
