[QUOTE=angry black man;18774162]the novint falcon thing is literally dumb as hell i cant imagine how dumb people look when they play games with one of those[/QUOTE] You haven't tried it you ignorant asshole. It is one of my (any many others) favorite new addition to gaming. Really enhances the immersion. On a lighter note. I tried F.E.A.R. today with it, it is my new favorite Falcon Supported game. Seriously, it rocks. Anyway, I wish Mirror's Edge had Falcon support, I think it would really benefit.

You press one of alt fire things on the mouse and then you do the melee. It's nothing too special or extravagant. What I really like is the recoil, I like it more than any other game actually, and how it changes from regular to slo-mo recoil is cool too. I can just about use the Falcon as good as my mouse now. Ohhh, Oblivion would be great with this! I would play it again if it got support. Also, I find it a tad hard to aim in Crysis, for the reason that with Crysis you need to be super precise since most of the combat is long range, so I need to get it down to the pixel for aiming. It's a lot harder with the Falcon, but I guess I still suck with it.

A good sharpshooter doesn't learn how to hit a long range target overnight, now does he?

Detailed Results: - International Dispatch, December 06, 2009, 2:43 pm, ISC LOS ANGELES CA (USPS) - Arrival - Electronic Shipping Info Received, December 02, 2009 YAY! :D [QUOTE=ChaosWolf;18772091]Oh my god, waiting for this thing to arrive it taking such a long time.[/QUOTE] In the Team Fortress 2 competition the falconers won almost all the games! Falcon can be better then the mouse! [QUOTE=ChaosWolf;18772091]Oh my god, waiting for this thing to arrive it taking such a long time.[/QUOTE] From the falcon forum for you: My experience was 5 days to get to the UK, customs had it on hold for 9 days before releasing. I kept an eye on it and as soon as it was released I rang parcelforce, paid the VAT and duty over the phone (£23.16 total) and picked it up in person. So about 2 weeks and call it £25 (depending on exchange rates) on top of whatever bargain price you get from Novint. It depends if Customs grab it and hold onto it till you pay, but it can be very quick Also huge review by tomnovint about his play with the f-gen drivers: [url]http://home.novint.com/community/phorum/read.php?6,18444[/url]

Just how do you guys know how far your packages have come? The only thing I can find is 'Track and confirm'.. Which gives me this: "The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper on December 4, 2009 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later. " And it has said that same thing since december 4. :(

:D

USPS is very inconsistent with updating.

Awaiting Tom's email :)

Be sure to spread the word around about this incredible discount, sell some Falcons, and make some cash! Good luck, and feel free to let us know if you have any questions. Best regards, The Novint Team[/quote] Looks like they're doing another crazy sale. My referral for reference in case anyone is on the fence on it: FALCONSALE I'm using mine to play TF2, which is really fun.

Only for you? Also, My Falcon arrived. Now I get to stare at the box until Christmas.

Well, sadly I have to wait until tomorrow. It's only six hours away too.

I can't believe this, It's been "out for Delivery" for 12 hours now and It's still not here. Fuck you UPS

To any of you that actually have the Falcon right now, how the fuck do I get the pistol grip to work??? I have been trying everything but pressing buttons on the pistol grip does nothing. The only grip working right now is the little one. Also how would I get this to work on steam games. I have downloaded all of the drivers etc.

I still haven't received a referral code.

[QUOTE=onox37;18788224]I still haven't received a referral code.[/QUOTE] When did you apply for one?

Seriously can ANYONE help me out? It's pissing me the hell off and I don't want to wait two days for customer service to reply. How did you guys get the pistol grip to work?

My package arrived but I have to wait till my Dorm Mail Room processes it. :downs:
