You aren't the first person I've heard say that. I might pick it up for that price.

Have any of you guys ever sent your 360 into Microsoft for the E74 error? I just UPS'd mine on Thursday.

My guess is it'll take over a month to get back.

Different flavors. Bad Company 2 is fun when you're not having connection issues and lag, which are common, and when you don't get a bunch of wookies crouching in the corner of maps.

I've been disappointed with the support for Bad Company 2 though. We were promised lots of maps with that VIP thing, but all we've seen are different portions of the maps already released cut differently and put into different game modes. So few of them to start with too. I want this to be a COD killer, really do, but the support for it has really held it back along with the connection issues.

Battlefield 2 came out at the perfect time, when everyone was getting sick of the glitches and bugs in MW2.

I will say I enjoyed the ending of Fable 3 alot more than the beginning. I was considering actually to stop playing half way through, but I'm glad I didn't. I still don't think it's as good as Fable, or even Fable 2. There is some funny parts in the game, I just don't like the way they got rid of the start menu.

[M.O.T.H.]

Gears 2 has grown on me so much. Only took two years...but yeah, my buddy and I have been playing online a lot recently, and I finally have it down pretty well. And it's still tons of fun. I could play all day if I could.

Although level 80s, 90s, and max level dudes dont seem too hard anymore. Yay.

Oh...there is still a lot of bitching about hosting and what not. How do you know if you're the host? I swear to god, I've never been the host of any game. I dont think my connection could handle it...I'm probably the host whenever my connection craps out right before we get going. That happens every now and then.

[M.O.T.H.]

Just remembered...for people looking for some good deals...Amazon is having some pre black friday video game blow out thing. haha. Starting tomorrow until the 22nd, they'll have certain video games and accessories on sale every day. They didnt say what they'll be selling yet...but I'm sure they'll have some great stuff available.

I am looking at Headsets do to the fact that my speakers dont really allow for my roomate too sleep much, I looked at the Tritton Ax 720 and AX Pro models, along with Turtle Beach x11 and x41's I do believe. Anyone have any feedback on any headset you prefer?

[Draft King]

I have Turtle Beach's myself and they are just fine. If you want the best of the best, go for Astro A40s, but they cost a **** load. If you are going cheap but still decent quality, Turtle Beach's get the job done.

Is the matchmaking any better? I remember it used to take like fifteen minutes for me to find a game in Gears 2. Also, being able to shotgun people with your back faced to them wasn't cool either.

Don't know what's available for the 360, but I use the SteelSeries 5Hv2 for my PC gaming needs.

The matchmaking still sucks...but you cant shotgun people unless you're pretty damn precise with the shotgun.

Now we just need to get MOTH to create another Sim League!

I'd be down for a league (fantasy draft!) even though I'm atrocious.

[Jvig43]

Better ad? The Call of Duty with Kobe and Jimmy with the rolling stones, or the Halo one with the epic music and the Spartan running through the battle field with the bomb?

Don't insult Battlefield 2 like that. Battlefield 2 came out years ago and is still better than Bad Co. 2.

[Jvig43]

I meant Bad company. D'oh

Haha I know, I'm just a bit of stickler when it comes to Bad Company 2 being referred to as Battlefield 2.

[Jvig43]

Sorry, it's easy to mistake as I played like three games of Bad company 2 and thats about it. I still stand by my theory of how it got most of its users.

Going through Fallout 3 for a 2nd time, having a blast. Does anybody recommend anything in particular I should look for? Like a cool easter egg, mission, weapon, etc.

[M.O.T.H.]

Alien Blaster for sure.

[nepg]

I've been told that corpses don't disappear in Fallout:NV...meaning you can make a tower of corpses. Has anyone done this?

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

Finished Fable 3. I was so pissed at the end when it was like 120 days, and then all of a sudden you're knee deep in blackness. I still needed to raise another $3M or so. Getting 80k every 5 minutes I'd have done it by tomorrow morning, or I could have at least sold all of my **** to get the cash needed.

The only thing I would recommend is checking out the Metro even more, I still find new things down there.

I looked at the A40's, and the Tritton Pros typically got near the same score for about 100 less. (9.0-9.5 to 8.7-9.2)

Anyone down for some Reach tonight?

No but I've killed a group of people and come back a week later and 20-30 hours in game time and the scene is exactly as I left it. I'm pretty sure you can't though because corpse matter occupies the same space. Like I'm 95% sure I've shot a group of big horns and instead of stacking they were just a mass of 4-5 dead bodies occupying the same space.
