41 ain't too bad :p

I'll be on tonight if anyone wants to add me.

[neoadorable]

right on, but let me warn you i'm a little anti-social online hehheh....

[GameOverRob]

Got all the new achievements on the new COD Zombie Map.

[neoadorable]

they've added achievements to the new DLC? that's something new for a COD. well done, Rob.

[GameOverRob]

Not really they did it with World at War, which actually had a total of 1500 points after all the DLC was released.

[neoadorable]

it doesn't matter, Treyarch and their geofencing ways can go to hell. but thanks for reminding me that WaW had achieves, too, that's correct, i forgot.

[GameOverRob]

New COD Zombie Map High scores:

Rounds Survived - 48th in the world :D

High Score - 24th in the world :D

[Guest]

Only because just 50 people bought the maps :laugh:

[GameOverRob]

Are you blind or just ****ed off Newcastle didn't buy anyone? As the photo clearly shows one of my mates is ranked at 964084. So my guess is that over one million people bought the maps as not everyone likes zombies

[neoadorable]

hey Rob, we're family here, he was just teasing. obviously Treyarch will have millions of people buying this. i would have been one of them but they told me to take a hike, expats not welcome.

hey Jonny, tell em you were joking!

Too easy man.

[GameOverRob]

Whats too easy? The map? If so prove it with a similar score (Round 40+)

[neoadorable]

i know this is supposed to be a slightly competitive thread, but there's no need to butt heads like that. no one's saying anything, so let it go.

Too easy to wind you up! :laugh:

[GameOverRob]

Completed Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Single Player achievements, appart from the one for collecting the flags. I can't be bothered for 30 gamerscore. Managed to get 780 points out of it. Can't be bothered with the multi-player because its sh*t

[neoadorable]

too right about not bothering with the flags, pain in the butt. and also the MP is rather broken, i've tried it a couple of times and couldn't even get into a match properly.

[GameOverRob]

Hit 94 thousand thanks to finishing most of the Splinter Cell DLC achievements, only four left to go till i've got the full 1,250/1,250 :D

[neoadorable]

well done Rob, i say 100K by Easter! for me, it's 70K by Easter! let us know you by Easter! goals as well, why not?

[therat]

It appears that mygamercard.net has closed down.

[PabUK Veteran]

It appears that mygamercard.net has closed down.

Well that sucks. A little warning would have been nice. :(

Does anyone have a recent screenshot of the leaderboard before it went down? It would be good to have an up-to-date one to remember it by.

Oh well, this is another good reason to join the TrueAchievements leaderboard, if you haven't already. :)

[neoadorable]

and i'm crying. it's the end of an era, we had so much fun with that leaderboard and it has really defined a huge part of my Xbox experience. first of all, thanks to PabUK for putting it together and for the initiative. then, of course thank you to MGC for being there for us all thos years. and thirdly a big **** YOU to Microsoft for not supporting those guys. it's a disgrace. i thought all along that they were associated with MS and were actually sort of an MS off-shoot/service. guess the bean counters had other plans. like ****ing Kinect. well, at least this solves my next-console dilemma. MS will really have to do something special over the next few months to get me to buy their next machine if there is one. Sony better get ready. this is a real shame, MS just let this thing die after all the good it did to their brand.

please do keep this thread pinned and prominent...reading the 135 pages of comments has become a habit for me, i go over all of them once every few months...so many folks have come and gone, leaving comments, arguing, having a good time...it has really been a big part of our gaming landscape since 2006. so long MGC and thanks for the memories :rose: :cry:

[Howard Veteran]

I don't think Microsoft is completely to blame here. I had an account with MGC.net, and I was part of our leaderboard there. But I never felt any reason to go back to the site on a regular basis. TrueAchievements on the other hand has a really good system setup for gaming sessions, reviews, achievement solutions etc. I visit TA.com pretty much every day that I play Xbox.

Yes, I'm aware that TA.com uses this "screen scraping" method that MGC is against. But if Microsoft has such a huge problem with it (as MGC is suggesting), it's not hard for Microsoft to block these sites from accessing Xbox.com.

It's a shame the site has gone, definitely. But there are quite a few alternatives out there that are doing a very similar or better job.

[PabUK Veteran]

As something of a memorial to the MGC leaderboard, I present a screenshot of the top 50 from December 2007. I can't remember why I took this, but it seems somewhat fitting now.

[neoadorable]

thanks for posting that Pab....makes me cry all over again....look at us, so young and low on gamerscore...and some people there are not on the leaderboard anymore, especially my friend Vyk....

sad, really sad. i also have a screenshot somewhere, i think from 2008, i'll try to find it.

EDIT: i understand MGC wasn't the leading destination for gamers, but i never thought it was supposed to be that. i always thought they were sanctioned by MS to keep track of gamerscore and offer people an easy and friendly way to get their GT out in public. i didn't think of MGC as site at all, i thought it was something extra MS was helping us with. Guess i was naive.
