Picked up my copy at Walmart... after I got it saw that Best Buy is giving pretty good trade in values...

So after work ill trade in New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart ($30 a piece)... pick up COD.. then return that one to Walmart... all is good.

MW2 is also $30 @ BB

hey guys. have a strange request. im playing from behind some bull**** university firewall than bans you for 30 mins if it detects p2p traffic. apparently matchmaking is p2p traffic. but it works fine if you join someone elses lobby. so could as many peeps as possible add me on live so i can join peoples games and play! wouldnt ask but its doing my head in.

GT: elmarto755

thanks!

MW2 was my first COD game and I absolutely loved it (Multiplayer mainly)... Do you guys think I should shell out the 60+ bucks and get BO? I know its early but is the general consensus that its on par with MW2 or maybe even better?

Its got some nasty launch day bugs (multiplayer stuttering, zombie mode online doens't work at all, wager matches are very buggy and say server full when u try and join one) but gameplay wise it is definitely improved over mw2.

Well I completed SP on Normal.

It p*sses all over MW2 campaign. Much better story and the action is intense pretty much the whole way through.

Nothing as good as Pripyat but the variation of stuff you have to do is great and it never gets dull.

Some of the checkpoints are a bit unclear and in one place I didn't realise I was meant to push forward and basically spent 10 minutes killing enemies before I realised they were spawning forever Laughing

Summary:

COD4>>>>>COD:BO>>>>COD:WAW>>>>>MOH>>>>>>AIDS>>>>>>>>COD:MW2

Still getting slow performance on MP but it's getting better, the more I play a map the smoother it plays. I guess this is due to map caching but I'm not sure.

same thing happened to me when i played the game on my laptop (nvidia 320m). Desktop (ati 5770) no problems.

Just tried a few matches on the 360 mutliplayer, i feel it will be a skip for me. Seems to be the same ol' campfest. It seems like a good enough game, but i just hate shooters where i have no clue where i'm being killed from. There just too many spots to hide where it's nearly impossible to spot people, walk around a door and then I'm dead. I'll stick to Halo.

Maybe you shouldn't run and gun ;)

I've tried both ways, i tried playing sneaky and i still got killed by unseen people, and i played run and gun which ended with the same result. It's just not my type of game, i prefer in Halo that players are easy to spot, and stand out from the environment so even if they get the jump on you there is still a chance. It only takes one shot in CoD it seems to kill me, and i find the guns to be so boring, i enjoy unique aspects to guns (stuff like the Needler in Halo i feel adds a cool twist to things). But it seems to have a high production value, just not my type of game.

Don't forget about zombies and gun game.

Also have you tired capture the flag and other such games?

They require you to move.

    • Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.
    • The AI data centers need it more than us so...let them gobble it all up at that price!
    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
