What a waste of money

yea im going to get slaughtered but i dont care, i hate it when games dont work as they should

LOL, c'mon! Surely you didn't think the 360 version would be comparable to the PC version! It's a console! Live has had issues for the past few weeks, especially in COD4, and it only does peer-to-peer online anyway, so it's never going to be as good as the PC online.

It took me forever to let me invite friends to games. It would either say can't connect to host, or your data is older than the hosts. But one day Andrew invited me to a games. So I invited my friends and everything got sorted out.

yea but i mean constant pauses,
cant invite friends at times.

it might be a live problem.
but it should be fixed b4 realeases etc

The game and matchmaking on the 360 operated better before Christmas. Since Christmas, Live has been experiencing issues and much of your frustration comes from that.
Games have been taking longer to find and to fill up, there's been an increase in lag and parties have been dropped or unable to connect.

Losing connection when the host quits is a CoD problem, but it is being addressed, as the next patch will include host migration.

The player limit feels fine to me, except in Tactical perhaps (3 vs 3). More players would turn it into a wild melee and the current 6 vs 6 is well suited if you are looking to apply tactics and teamwork. You can play Ground War for an 8 vs 8 experience as well.

If you play the same game on two different systems, you are going to prefer one over the other and there's nothing wrong with that. If that's the case, simply stick with your preference.

I can guess what the lean left and right mean, but I haven't seen the feature so maybe you could explain it? If it allows you to move your upper body to the side and limit your exposure to fire, that might cause a balance issue using an analog controller that doesn't exist when you use a mouse. If we're talking about dodging around like a boxer, that just sounds like a comical thing to do in a gunfight.

Matchmaking instead of server selection will likely continue. I recall being able to select from a match list in PDZ and Gears of War. In both cases, it was abuseable for boosting, so I don't see any Live games offering that option in the near future. I would like to see it happen as well.

If you decide to keep it to play on Live with friends, it will require some adapting to, but I think it would be a comparable experience to playing on PC with people you don't know. I own Halo 3, but I don't like it, I only play it with friends and that is enough for me to enjoy it on occasion.

Best of luck whatever you decide to do.

gamerankings.com is were all the reviews of games are recorded and merged together to bound one average score, so far the highest average score order goes from 1) Orange Box 2) Bioshock 3) COD 4, although Orange Box has almost twice less critics than Bioshock.

Not surprised. If I got the PC version first, I would feel the same way...Same thing about Battlefield games.

thx,

leaning left or right just lets u do what it says.
put urself right near the edge of a wall, looking round a corner and press e or q and u lean, so if u get shot at, just let go of e or q and u go back to normal.
it just moves ur upper torso.


as for it being more exciting playing with people i know, i doubt that.
and gamerankings.com sounds like utter poo to me.

You will just have to accept that all shooters, FPS anyway, are better on PC, hands down.

[Rhym3z]

well yea i kinda knew that anyway, but with everyone on here saying how good it was, and with me getting to know some of u id thought id try it
