Weird

No, strangely it seems much longer ago than a year. This year has gone very slowly for me, possibly due to a lack of holidays.

cheers Col

Online madness

Me and Phil want to shoot you online Chris... are you scared???

Online Madness on Call of Duty 4

Yeah, got your messages, however, it wouldn't let me join you both, I tried several times.
As for Call of Duty 4, it is completely different to CoD2, so alas no advantage, blasted thing, i absolutely hate the fact that I am the worst player, have no idea what I am doing or where I am running to.
Have come back from Lake District today (early) but I am planning on having an xbox day tomorrow, so probably on from the morning, so come and get me if you want

Problems...

Rich R and my brother had similar problems to you for a while... Do you plug your xbox straight into your modem/router? Might work if you start a game and we join you...

Hear Say

I've heard it said that some COD games on the X-Box are ranked so that you end up playing with people of a similar ability, this doesn't necessarily have to do with the level you're at but how quickly you're getting XP points I think. So if the system has rated Chris as far beyond the puny abilities of you and Phil you may not be able to play him on the ranked servers because he'll simply make you look foolish. Or vice a versa of course.

Obviously since I don't actually have an x-box I have no idea if thats true or not.

Sort of

It is kind of true if you join a match randomly... but you can invite "friends" to your "party" and then join a game en masse. Or start a private game.

Come down

Right now I am a PC COD4 Brigadier Colonel, I have the 2nd best Assault rifle and can carry a Sniper rifle on my back. I have 3 grenades and my bullets pierce the toughest walls and yet I still die with annoying frequency so I am really not looking forward to going right back to basics when I get an x-box.

Imminent xbox purchase?

Ooh... so when are you taking the xbox plunge?

I notice everyone is already getting their excuses in! Phil hammered me today but he is a dirty cheat. He uses bullets and stuff.

No Excuses

Yes, I will be investigating x-box deals during today and tomorrow with a view to purchase something around the weekend.

I make no excuses, you and phil had better get practising because I won't even need a gun to humiliate you both, you big girls.

Good deals

Game station had a deal for 149.99!!! I think it is definitely best to go for the deal with the hard drive and wireless controller though - two of the real pluses of getting a 360 are the wireless controllers (you'll never go back!) and being able to download demos and stuff to play at your leisure...

Deal or no deal

Gamestation now have a good deal:

£220 for xbox with 3 games and additional wireless controller.

Gamestation appear to be doing this for 210...

Where ?

Is that for the arcade x-box which you don't recommend ? It looks to me wherever I look the one with the hard drive, wireless controllers etc is around £240. With 1 game it's £277 on Amazon with free shipping and £270 on Gamestation and I'm not sure if you have to pay for shipping with them.

Alternatively on Amazon it's £200 for the arcade version and 5 games but it says "live arcade games" which I guess are not things like COD4. Also the arcade seems to have only half the amount of memory as the normal one but then it is nearly £80 cheaper.

you should be able to get a

you should be able to get a 360 pro (wireless controller and memory) plus a game (good game) for less than 250 easily, any problems let me know
but do you really want one? you have a PC thats doing what you need?

PC?

There looks to be some great PC games coming out in 2008 as well. That said, it is lovely to sit back in an arm chair and play on the 360 and some of the best gaming experiences I have had have been online with friends. If there's a good 6 or so of us with call of duty 4 we could have some great multiplayer mayhem. Better even than those crazy yanks we were playing with today!!

I think Gears of War is my favourite online shooter although the more I play Call of Duty 4 the more I enjoy it.

I do enjoy golf though and Phil's golf avatar makes me laugh.

Call Of Crack

Honestly COD4 is like crack, the more you play the more you get sucked in. As soon as you realise that the starting weapons are a bag of shit and what is available later on you've had it. Also the maps are really well designed I think, I only now have a fair idea of how to get where I want to go on most of them and their character totally changes depending on what mission your playing. For example a building which is simply a handy sniping post in Team Deathmatch becomes a fortress when the HQ is in there for Search & Destroy and all the angles and routes of approach change completely. In addition even to that I'm still finding new rooftops and stuff you can get on to.

I'm basically getting an x-box because none of the rest of you have things like COD on the PC and I want to see what it's like with a well oiled and determined team with you to take on those pesky teenagers. Example, recently I lost a mission because even though the last remaining member of our team pretty much only had to walk a few yards up to the bomb and press 'F' to win instead, whilst all the dead team members were spectating, wandered about trying to shoot a wall with his sniper rifle, or the person who grabbed the briefcase and then went off to hide in a corner for the rest of the game rather than even trying to plant the bomb. It's irritating !

Erm...

You may find us not so "well oiled" as you might hope...

"Well oiled"

Speak for yourself, you fall on the ground and carry on shooting cheat.... he is right, at this moment, i have no idea where anything is and haven't really tried to update my weapons, tooo busy shooting people

Game on

Right, I am going to make Major tonight or die in the attempt.

i think i am a

gunary sergeant, but have only played a bit today and someyesterday, so have no idea how far i am behind at being a Major
i shot Dead Monkey today, and it felt very satisfying
it was even more satisfying when he was lying on the floor trying to shoot me in a last gasp cheating mechanism, he even managed to damage someones ceiling plaster when doing this!
however, they (Phil as well) then ganged up on me
well, i have had to stop playing now, or else my marriage might be in trouble

¡

I'm going to buy Sensible World of Soccer.

sensibile world of soccer

if its like the old game will be brilliant!!!!

Mine...

Mine came with Halo 3, Forza Motorsport and Viva Piñata and an extra controller and cost £259.

SALES

I'll sell yo mine for £330.

that is a damn good deal

well, i am going to have a shower, skip breakfast and turn the 360 on
