No Face Buttons In Fight Night Round 4 M ...

I just got Fight Night Round 4 last night and I'm all excited because this is the game most of us have been waiting for since the last one. After fixing the game settings I go to put my controller setting to the same setting I put in every Fight Night game, Controller Setting # 3, only to find out that I have no choice and I have to play with the Stupid TPC. Now if we as gamers can't have a choice in something as miniscule as a controller setup, what does that mean for future games? I know some will say ''Well the DLC is coming out and it fixes that''. That helps me none b/c I don't plan on getting online untill the next school semester ends (It distracts me from doing my college school work) Will all games be like this b/c they know DLC can always fix it? How about the ones w/o onlineNo Face Buttons In Fight Night Round 4 M ...

well why don't you just play the game how it is suppose to be played?

You should be thankful that EA is even considering putting that option in as DLC because of people moaning about it. At least they're listening to feedback and not sitting on it.

Yeah, dissuading people from using a more responsive, immersive control scheme and not allowing people to spam punches much easier is awful. How dare EA commit such a crime!!
I was in the same boat as you, I alway used the face buttons. But I will say if you give the game a chance and learn to use the RS you will like the game. They have impoved over the way it works and punches flow and build in a buffer. But I will say it's not perfect ether, I tend to throw right punches when Im trying to throw lefts. I have even looked to see if I was moving the stick to the left and was still throwing rights. I wonder If im the only one with this issue. But give the game a chance once you learn how to play you wont care you can't use the face bottons to punch.

I don't think they removed it due to time restrictions. I think they honestly thought this was the better control scheme.



From article on kotaku.com - ''We strongly believe that the refined Total Punch Control is the most intuitive way to throw punches in Fight Night Round 4,'' the game's senior producer, Dean Richards, said in a press release, ''But we also want fans of the franchise to have an option.''



But don't only accuse EA of pulling such things. Look at MLB 2K8. Yes last year's game. They revamped the pitching to the analog stick which I really liked, but for some it was too difficult so they didn't bother with the game. I think they simplified it for this year's game because of last year's complaints.

I was blown away with TPC in FN2004. And I think FNR4's is the best TPC since it allows a little delay inbetween the punches allowing for you to let punches flow, like in real life.

no. it makes it good. too many times i was beaten by my friend cause he was using the buttons instead of the analogue sticks. which require actual SKILL rather then just pressing a button.

Face buttons are for complete noobs :roll: I've used the analogue sticks since Fight Night 2004 if you're not good enough to co-ordinate your thumbs then go and play facebreaker or something grandad, button bashers are so 1990's :evil:

It's not a normal map. It's just an all airplane map. On the main menu, select Air Supply.
if you thought your going to need 43 million kills, good luck on that.
Theres a seperate mode for it on the main menu, Air Superiority.

Longest 360 games

what are the longest 360 games?? , I like FPS and Roleplaying Longest 360 games
saints row,oblivion,i heard mass efffect is kinda longLongest 360 games
ive played dead rising for hooours, but i dunno if it fits into the category.
ive heard oblivion last a really, really long time. im going to play that once i get through all the amazing games just out now
assassins creed is pretty long so is mass effect
its old and cheap but dead rising is a reallly good buy. i bought it about 8 months ago and played just that for about 5 months straight. i also like fps and rpgs so i think youd like it.
Mass Effect and Oblivon are pretty long RPGs. Orange Box is prolly the longest FPS though since it has 5 games in 1.
Oblivion, Eternal Sonata,Enchanted Arms,and Mass Effect.
Oblivion. I have logged 170 hours into that game and im no where near done with it. Had to take a break for a while.
Oblivion has endless possibilities.. Assassin's Creed is pretty long, as well as ME.. but ME at least has replay value... the only reason to play AC again is to get those pesky flags.
i bought Dead rising but first im playing marvel alliance, think i will pick up Mass Effect, Bioshock.Gears and Eternal Sonata
yeah bioshock is a good choice. great storyline, location and good lenght. and also gears, single player is very short(on normal) but multiplayer is great and many people are still playing it today
Forza Motorsport 2, there's almost 400 races in that game. :O
Off the top of my head: Oblivion= longest game on the 360 easily (logged about 200-300 hours on with different characters over along period of time), Saints Row, Orange Box looks like its a great deal, The Godfather, Dead Rising, also Bioshock f you really immerse yourself into the game and not just go around shooting everything.



If you're into multiplayer then I guess these would be essential cause they last a long time + they have pretty good single player as well : Halo 3 , Rainbow Six Vegas, GRAW2, COD(2,3,4) and Gears of War though you will probably have some of those already.
blue dragon is like easily 60+ hours.
COD4.....lol jk.
Fallout 3 has kind of a long story and you will probably restart over and over to see what happens with different karma. Also the map is huge!

Party Chat has Ruined Xbox Live

This is really just me ranting about no one ever talking on Xbox Live anymore. I remember playing Halo 2 till four in the morning haveing a blast with people I'd meet in game, but now, I'm lucky if someone else even coughs into their mic. As I sit in the game lobby for Halo 3 I see everybody who does have a mic to be in a private chat, and everyone else just simply doesn't even have a mic. Xbox Live use to actually have a community of people, some bad, some good, but it was a unique experiance playing late at night. Than when Microsoft introduced the party chat feature everyone just sits in there even if they're all in the same game and no one interacts with anyone else. I'll admit I myself was excited for the party chat feature and I do still use it in-game from time to time but I miss my random conversaions with complete strangers....Party Chat has Ruined Xbox Live
party chat saved xbox live, especially halo, i dont think you could even call halo online a community, more a large collection of **** headsParty Chat has Ruined Xbox Live
I don't get why people are so worried about other players talking in the mic ? I mean do you need somebody to keep you company ?(I'm asking this in general)
I guess it doesn't bother me that much. Most of the people who use their mics for all to hear simply scream into their mics, spew some unoriginal lines in an attempt to be funny or witty, mock someone for their screen name, and run their mouths until I mute them anyway. But, that's just my opinion...
Well those of us who have friends online would say otherwise. I really like party chat.

When I use party chat usually it is with my real friends. I don't blame them though, maybe you should get more friends to talk with on XBL.
[QUOTE=''klusps'']When I use party chat usually it is with my real friends. I don't blame them though, maybe you should get more friends to talk with on XBL.[/QUOTE]

Right..... I don't think anyone really took that post the right way... I've got plenty of friends to go into a party chat with online, I even said that I do it just like everyone else. But on occasion when I'm in the game channel, yea, I like for people to talk and communicate like a team, even the jerk offs provide some entertainment. The whole focus of Xbox Live is to create a virtual community, but a community is hard to enjoy with no communication between one another besides the occasional team kill or tea bag. Again, I do love party chat myself so I'm not saying outright it should be removed or anything like that. Just sometimes people need to stop being so timid in-game and say something.... just my two cents.
Party chat makes xbl better, I'd much rather chat to friends than knob heads that talk smack from the overside of the globe to me.
Umm actually Party Chat has been a blessing for XBL. Id much rather just talk to my buddies than listen to some 9 year old scream into the mike or listen to some punk talk a bunch of crap. Face it, unfortunately, the average person on XBL isnt there to have a good time. They are there to talk smack and act all tough! Party Chat is the best thing to happen to XBL!!
Yeah. Nobody EVER uses a mic on BF1943

[QUOTE=''chaoscougar1'']party chat saved xbox live, especially halo, i dont think you could even call halo online a community, more a large collection of **** heads[/QUOTE] Exactly, though the Halo community isn't as bad as people say it's certainly not what I would call a vibrant and respectful community
I gave voice chat another go the other day, I haven't since the NXE update, and first thing that happened ? farcry 2 multiplayer, some australian fool shouting at me for using a vehicle.I'm sorry but the amount of negative experiences outweigh the good for me, I love party chat.
[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
party chat is great, no more screaming little kids who think their gangsta. plus when im not in party chat there are still quite a few people who talk, i find. enough people at least. but id rather talk to friends then little kids anyway
I know for one that I wouldn't even have a mic on if it wasn't for party chat. I tried to go on with strangers, and ended up into multiple verbal altercations with people. When you play a game like CoD: WaW or other shooters with a community; people are down right ugly to you. And I myself have done my own share of cussing people out for team killing or noob tubing and other crap. I have met some cool people but then again met some really strange and freaky people too. To top it all off, I couldn't weigh out the ratio of how many dumb A** punks I exchanged words with, those totally out weighed the number of decent cool people. In fact, I went through my friends list and removed alot of people that I thought were cool, but I never even talk to or play games with for some reason. Seriously what is the reason to have a friend on XBL if you aren't going to communicate with them? Oh and the most enjoyable experiences (sarcasm), is those singing high pitched punk kids that all run around with Jugg and an Mp40; laughing at you and talking trash. Somehow I ended up getting bad reviews for talking trash when I was usually defending myself to some douchebag that started the mess by intentionally team killing at the end of a match or being the host and team killing over and over again. Yeah, I don't do the normal chat in game anymore, its much better for my health and psyche to do party chat with my friends.
Where is everyone finding these people at? I'm not saying I haven't encountered them before, but lately there's nothing but silence for me. Not even an annoying 10 year old yelling about how he just no scoped me! I find that really, really odd because now I almost never encounter trash talking, but I mean come on, it's Xbox Live! If there's no trash talking than you have a problem. I think if I ran into these people normally like I use to, than yes, I'd be very thankful to go into my party chat but they aren't giving me any problems. Now it's just like me and the people I normally talk to on Live are the only people with mics yet here we all are on these forums and most of us how mics. I think my point has really just become completely moot, but I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're in the game channel, have a mic, aren't talking, than stop being shy and say something. If no one answers than fine, you tried, and if someone trash talks you than that's cool too...... just mute them.
Sometimes it's quite irritating. Other times the party system is awesome.

  • Jasper Chipset

    Is the Arcade the only one that has the Jasper Chipset? I wanna buy a 360 elite but i wanna make sure i have the best hardware. Is it best to buy all the accessories for the arcade or just get an elite?Jasper Chipset
    Any console manufactured in 2009 is almost guaranteed to be Jasper. Any prior to Nov. 2008 will likely not be. The Elite game of the year bundles are not Elites to my knowledge (thus why they are bundled in the first place). Jasper Chipset
    I don't know. I know Elites pawn so its all good.
    Does anyone know of an elite with jasper in stores or online?
    [QUOTE=''DBhova23'']Does anyone know of an elite with jasper in stores or online?[/QUOTE]Get one in a store since it's the only way to be sure it's an elite. And don't buy a bundled version (other than RE5 version) since they are not jaspers to my knowledge. If you order one online you will likely be sent a falcon version.
    In Australia, i bought a 360 elite from JB-HIFI and it is a jasper :D im so happy
    Can I ask, without having to open the 360 up, how do you know if it's got a falcon or a jasper chip? I got RROD again yesterday, so I am also wanting to buy an Elite, but since this is gonna be my fourth 360 total, I want to make sure to get the Jasper this time. Thanks for the help.
    I think if you buy a brand new 360 today (Arcade/Pro), you'll be fine.Elites, I don't know.

    Pretty sure arcades are the only ones that have Jaspers, but I could be wrong.

    Best WRPG with the best story this gen. Nothing else even comes close in the WRPG category that is. The only drawbacks are most of the sidequests and most of the planets are pretty dull.

    hmm...

    If I recall right, I teleported the first worm up and hit the enemy like that. Atop and below.
    havent tried that.. i guess it wont hurt. GREAT game btw.
    Word.

    I can try the level tomorrow and bump if I have a good strategy.
    I was stuck on 18th level, 19th i beat in the first try. Let me turn on my 360 and check what level that is again. I just remember i was stuck on 18th level and then i got up to level 23 with no problems, then got stuck again haha.Ill be back in 5mins to give you some tips for that level bud.On another note (while my 360 is setting up), anyone just LOVING this game with friends? Me and a buddy must have played this for 4 hours yesterday haha. The good thing about WORMS is it never gets boring or repetative to me in multiplayer against friends. The levels are differnt everytime and the games play out completely differnt each time which i like.
    Ok, checked out the level again. What I did was take out the sentry gun early on, and then I dug holes for a bunch of my worms so they couldnt be attacked very easy (if at all). Then I set up a sentry gun and started to move towards them (once again digging towards them, keeping myself shielded so so speak). And I would also use my attacks like ''Air Strike'' and others that can be used while you are digging into the earth,etc...Dont know if that will help bud, but thats how I played it personally and it worked out pretty well as I beat it first try.You are outnumbered in this one as you said, so you have to play a little defensive imo.Although Im not stuck on 22 (its like the one you are on except much harder.. outnumbered even worse lol)If you or anyone else would like to have some games of worms sometime let me know. Im not cheap and I play just for fun and could care less If i win or not online, just enjoying the fun factor and humour that worms offers :P

    Do you meet as many people onlince since ...

    It has been a long time since I saw a good argument over Xbox live everyone seems to just talk to their friends.Do you meet as many people onlince since ...
    definatley. i have met six new people and added them on my friends list in the last 24hrs. met them in a gears of war party. Well cool.Do you meet as many people onlince since ...
    I've never actually tried to meet people on Live. I've already got friends, all the friends I've made over Live are people I've met through people I already know. So Live parties really haven't effected me much, it's just now I don't have to go through the trouble of muting people that annoy me.

    Exactly. But if i do communicate its ONLY on party with friends.
    Luckily no one ever bothers me anymore. I just want to play not get harassed by kids that get angry because they lose a lot. Seriously I turned my XBL profile to everyone and I got like four **** you messages in a few days. Forget that I barely even use my mic as well because I need to plug it into the back of the tv but it's hard as **** to get back there so I can't hear my game.
    Thats what i been doing since NXE even started, its like an relaxing experience to talk to your friends rather then talking to the idiots online. I still met some Jerks online (Basically kids) and no matter what, Im using Party Chats 24/7. Thats how I roll.

    What do you think they should do to make ME2 even better than the first. One major thing for me is the ability to go to more colonized places, and i really want to be able to go to Earth!Mass Effect 2 ideas.
    a futuristic earth would be very cool.. more planets is really all i can sayMass Effect 2 ideas.
    Weapon customization (more than just the standard upgrades, like visual upgrades as well (i want a pistol with a stock and sights! :P) Yeah going to earth would be awesome, definitely more planets to explore with more varied environs, better squad controls (think R6 Vegas) the gun on the Mako to be less fidgety. some sort of cloaking device and melee weapons for stealth kills (also silencers are a must!)

    and of course the 1 thing that everybody wants... FULL FRONTAL ALIEN NUDITY!!! :lol:
    1.Fix the damn inventory. It's a mess2.Make sure that the armors you find match the people you are rolling with a bit more and make the loot more varied.

    -The ability to upgrade the Mako. And improve it's targeting system.



    -No long elevator rides



    -Less repetitve planets, they're virtually identical in the first game. And with less mountains, it's annoying having to drive up them in the Mako all the time.



    -Fix the godawful framerate. I love Mass Effect but it has the absolute worst framerate I have EVER experienced in a game. It makes some firefights 10 times more difficult and frustrating than they have to be. And I'm not even exaggerating.



    -Larger, more populated environments/planets. The first game feels too empty sometimes.

    Why can't I buy BF: 1943 on silver

    I just got a 1400 point card only to find that I can't play this damn gamne without a gold account, it says for now but is this permanent?

    I have to buy games on a silver account because of region issues, my main account is American since I made it when I was living in America. Why the hell can't I buy whatever I want though, this is so stupid. I need to buy the game on my brothers Canadian silver account to play it on my gold account :(

    I can't just buy from my American since Canadian point cards don't work here.

    Anyone know if they're gonna open it up to let Silver members buy it or am I going to have to find a 1 month code. God I feel so terrible right now, I wanted to play so bad. :(Why can't I buy BF: 1943 on silver
    because its just a online game and you need gold to playWhy can't I buy BF: 1943 on silver
    Do you have any of those 48 hour gold trial cards you can make your silver account into a gold account? After the 48 hours it just expires and goes back to silver, but it allows you to dowload the game.
    They might have done it so people that only have a silver account wont accidentally buy it to find out that the only thing they can play is a tutorial.

    Yep.
    While I do have xbox live, I spend 95% of my time on single player games. There's lots of great ones out there if you haven't been paying attention; Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Fable 2, Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden 2, just to name a few.
    Yes it is, there's quite a few solid SP games on it that you'll enjoy.
    the only games am interested in is fallout 3 but want to wait for it become a greatest hist before i buy itand i want to check out alan wake since its looking to become a graphics kingbut other than alan wake am not much of a fan for xbox exclusives (wasa fan of halo 2 but hated 3) and did not like gears 1 or 2
    It's still fun without Live.
    Xbox live is what keeps me interested in my Xbox 360, without the live you lose about half the content of some games (e.g. Halo 3/Cod).
    To be honest, i was expecting to be on XBL endlessly when i first got my 360 and my gold subscription but heh, i'm NEVER online i practically just play offline. So as the others pointed out 360 is great even without XBL.

I do sometimes buy a month of live for games like GEOW etc etc. But I do, do most of my gaming on PS3.The main reason I don't have live is the lack of Wi-fi as the tv I game on is Nowhere near the ethernet port so it just doesn't seem worth buying for me to use very rarely.

    Repacking Rock Band?

    I'm moving to a different city in a few weeks and I'm trying to re-pack my Rock Band instruments. The drums fit fine but when I slide the guitar into its original box, the neck (where you tune the ''strings'') sticks out a few inches, and it's impossible to fit in the original Special Edition box. Am I doing something wrong? Is the neck supposed to come off somehow? I can't imagine how else it would fit in this box.Repacking Rock Band?
    That part wasn't attached when you get the bundle, should be able to slip off.Repacking Rock Band?
    The top of mine has a small button on the back so the top part comes off.
    After searching the internet for it, it turns out that when the bundle first came out, the guitar's head wasn't on. After you slide it on, it clicks and locks into place and it's impossible to take off. I ended up find a mod that allows you to easily slide the head on and off after taking out two small metal clips inside of the head of the guitar.

  • MLB 2K9 What is up with the review?

    One day I was over at my friends house playing his new game MLB2K9. I wanted to buy it so I checked the review. The review was a 5.5!? But it was fun so I bought it anyway. It is one of my favorite games now. I don't see what the reviewers were talking about. So this taught me to not listen to the reviews as much as how fun the game is. Does anyone think any thing else then what I said about this game.MLB 2K9 What is up with the review?
    its the same stuff every year and can get buggy at times. if this is ur first mlb 2k game its going to be fun of course because ur new to the series. but from 2k6 to 2k8 i didnt see any improvement and stopped wasting my time and from the reviews from 2k9 it didnt look any better so i just saved my money (not hating but i wish i had a ps3 so i can get mlb:the show). but i hope u enjoy it

    About not having NVG and up-to-date technology: your arguments are rock solid and valid, but I can only assume that the technology that ''progressed faster'' in the Fallout world than in ours was more along the lines of military technology, such as weapons and facilities, and not technology that is more mainstream, such as personal computers and such. For instance, despite the DOS computer terminals you see in Fallout, there are technological advancements from the game's time frame such as Liberty Prime; things such as those would be close to unimaginable in our world.

    Oh but a stealth camouflage suit and a plasma rifle fit just fine? The military technology is supposed to be far advanced beyond that in our world, so I don't see why such a basic commando tool such as NVG would be missing.

    If the military technology is so advanced, there needs to be night vision goggles.
    the whole game is basically a mockery, its what people in the 50's thought the future would be like, robots that wash your dishs, laser guns, etc.

    No
    I also wondered about the technology portrayed in the game, if it was so advanced why are the cars so old and the motorcycles so old that are throughout the game, To me it looks as if the area was destroyed in the 50's and is now inhabited by people a century later.

    Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition packs ...

    well...im sold:DThe practice of making extravagant ''Collector's Editions'' of video games is as old as gaming itself, but it looks like Activision is about to kick it up a notch. When the anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released on November 10, its $150 Prestige Edition will include what's surely the most extravagant bundled bonus ever -- a fully-functioning pair of night-vision goggles.An Activision community manager made the announcement in a Youtube video, where he unboxes and shows off the goggles, which carry the game's branding. The Prestige Edition also includes a head-shaped display stand for the goggles, an art book, and fancy limited-edition packaging.Modern Warfare 2's night-vision specs will join a proud tradition of crazy video game pack-ins, including Halo 3's infamous cat helmet, The Sims 3's plumbob-shaped USB drive, and Fallout 3's oversized watch and bobble-head doll, which was featured in the game, too. It'll retail at $150, and considering that even basic night vision goggles easily run over $100 on their own, it actually sounds like a pretty good deal. All the same, as far as we can determine, it's the most expensive retail video game bundle in history, discounting games that came with their own custom controllers. So if you're keen to play Modern Warfare 2 (as the follow-up to easily the best game of '07, you should be) and you're keen to spy on your neighbors, you'd better get saving.Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition packs ...

    That is definitely the coolest pack-in extra ever included with a game. And unlike the PIP boy for fallout 3, this actually does what you expect it to do.

    No, it was posted today on Yahoo news.
    That is one of the coolest collector edition game packs I have ever seen! Actually probally worth the money seems how night vision goggles cost around like $80 or something. So you'd really only be spending $10 more if you bought the game pack with the Call of Duty branded goggles. Now I dont know how good the quality is on these things are though. But if the quality is good then this is one hell of a deal.

    is anyone else tired of how strong the a ...

    i mean seriously how strong can a gun be??? in my opinion, when you start out with the gun that either trumps and or stalemates most weapons in the game there is a problem. For instance, i was playing a simple ffa slayer with the assault rifle as starting weapon. After witnessing the initial shotgun killing sprees and sniping everyone turned to the assault rifle as usual. after a few mindless kills with the AR and a couple bad spawn positions in which my back was to the enemy, i decided to try to dual wield some spikers... fail! It wasnt even funny how fast i died when facing a guy with the assault rifle. Angered i tried again, surely bungie wouldnt make dual wielding completely pointless would they? well i did get a kill but met a similar fate as before yet again against the AR. Now some of you may think, ''Ah hes just a noob. '' Well i may not be a general but I have played my fair share of Halo 3; check out my service record if you dont believe me. Anyway let me know your thoughts everyone im interested to know some other peoples experience and or funny stories.is anyone else tired of how strong the a ...

    That's true but I was strictly talking about machineguns. :P The AR really isn't that great of a weapon it's only alright.
    The AR is anything but overpowered. If you're going to dual-wield you need to know the best combos, like Plasma Rifle - SMG, or Plasma Pistol - Magnum.
    fair enough, good dual wield combos are better than the AR, but how many times does those combinations really beat the AR? idk im just fed up with games consisting of mindlessly shooting the ar for two seconds, melee, repeat.
    beg 2 differ. ill take an SMG or a BR over an assault rifle any day
    I hate the AR. Whats worse is when you get team BRs and They give you an AR
    The assault rifle is like the weakest gun in Halo 3... Not to start something but if you're getting tired of getting picked off all the time by the AR then it sure isn't because that gun is amazing... If you have a BR in your hands and know where the head is, no one should even get close enough to kill you with the AR
    Wait, why are you complaining? Since it is overpowered (in your opinion), why don't you just use it more? It is the default weapon (and the most common weapon on most maps) after all...
    yea the AR is terrible compared to the BR and most duel wielding combos. Just keep your distance if u keep getting AR'ed

    Good advice right there. :D You have to keep your distance. Oh and fight the urge to go in for a melee attack xD That's what probably killing you from Assault Rifles.

And then hope someone comes over for the tea bag
    Are you playing the same Halo 3 as I? I hardly find that gun effective.
    i agree i would too i hate the ar
    Bungie doesn't know what there doing any more there to busy counting money. I hate how the BR is king ding a ling. Halo3 fell out of favor with the 90 plus people on my FL with the exception of 1. (now its COD4 or Basketball or you play alone) ODST... no. Reach... hopefully. Bungie should pass on the reins, there kind stale these days. They need to release a non FPS titles or anything non-Halo. Get the creative juices flowing again.
    I hate the AR...not because I think it's overpowered, but because I feel that it's underpowered. The clip is too shallow and it's terrible to use at a medium distance because the clip runs out too quickly. I'd much rather have the smg as my default.
    [QUOTE=''craigalan23'']Duel wielding submachine guns is a lot more effective.[/QUOTE]

    Hell, using one SMG in the fashion most people use the assault rifle is more effective. The assault rifle is a well rounded weapon but it's certainly no king of all trades. Sniper and beam rifles are better at long range. Battle rifle, carbine and pistol are better at mid range and the shotgun, mauler, SMG, Sword, hammer, Brute shot and spiker are better at closer ranges. The missile pod, spartan laser and rocket launcher are better at taking out vehicles(and more if you use em' right). the plasma pistol and plasma rifle are good for taking out shields, the former can stop a vehile in it's tracks with an over charged shot. And the Needler is deadly in tight spaces.



    The assault rifle is a reliable weapon and a good weapon for less experienced player. But it's easily replaceable, especially considering the fashion most players use it.
    The assault rifle sucks.All it takes is 4 shots w/ a BR and you're dead.

    CoD4 still has a very strong community

    If you like Diablo 2 style RPGs Sacre 2: Fallen Angel is a good buy and will keep you busy for a very long time.
    Welcome!Pick up Orange Box, Lost Odyssey, Left4Dead, Forza2 (or wait for Forza3).UFC, Resident Evil5 and The Darkness are also pretty fun.
    left 4 dead is a really fun game onlineForza 2 is agreat racer.you should get Dead Space scince you seem to be into the space theme.other than that i recomend resisdent Evil 5 as well as CoD:MW and WaW.GTA 4 and carckdown are both prettyfun games.other than those games you should wait for the upcomming games like L4D2, Crackdown 2, Forza 3,Alan Wake,MW2, and MGS: Rising.hope it helps.
    You're already off to a good start, judging from your collection. Since you like WRPGs, I'd strongly recommend Oblivion and Fallout 3. Since you also appear to like shooters, I'd recommend Call of Duty 4 as it still has a strong online community.

    Other games you should play are Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, and Ninja Gaiden 2.

    I don't know if you're into grid-based strategy games, but Operation Darkness is a highly underrated game that you might want to look into.
    Welcome to the best community in console gaming! just a small complaint i have. mass effect is not a multi-player game.but anyway, here are some games i think you will like.aegis wing - it's a free download and lots of fun, and has multi-player.gears of war 1 and 2 - either one or both is fine. very strong multi-player in these games.rainbow six vegas 1 or 2 - these are great games with multi-player and co-opfear 2 - this is a great game with very strong multi-player mode available.if you like racing, i recommend pgr4 and burnout paradise. just my preference.
    If I was you I'd go with Fallout 3, Battlefield 1943, %26 an older cheaper racing game like say Dirt or Grid. This way you don't put too much money in, but even now your stretching out a lot of gaming mixed in with what you already have.
    Multiplayer with a strong community? CoD4 and CoDWaW are both great.
    You need to buy Bioshock and Fallout 3. Great games to have in a collection. Tho i'd wait the Game of the year edition of fallout 3 before buying it as it will contain the game + the 5 DLC for only 60$
    you can't go wrong with cod 4 and cod world at war. both are excellent games.
    try the game recommendation thread
    [QUOTE=''Brennan_Probst'']Get The Orange Box. Team Fortress 2 is awesome. I also love Left 4 Dead.[/QUOTE] this and Cod 4
    i think you should try forza motor sport 2 and you must try ace combat 6 theres alot of games too but give these games atry first then try midnight club la .
    I vote The Orange Box too. Even if you get tired of TF2 its still a huge bargain and has great single player value

    Saints row 2 Hitman Activities

    For all those wondering how to beat all the hitman missions, start any hitman activity then immediately save your game....dashboard. Then reload the game, and it'll run the missions like it's SUPPOSED to. They will now show up on radar before you can even see them. Just go near and do what it says and it'll work correctly. The missions are glitched, doing what I said fixes the glitch. I did all 4 hitman lists in 25 minutes and 15 seconds. recommend using a chopper to get to all locations as fast as possible.Saints row 2 Hitman Activities

    Red Faction, i am currently playing it and it is great.
    My opinion? GET BOTH! :D
    I would say Saints Row 2; its a great game i havnt tried the multiplayer on it but the singleplayer is great. I played the demo of Red Faction and i had some fun destroying the buildings, although they did seem like they were made out of plastic, but overall i thought it was a bit meh.
    Saint's Row 2 is less repetitive as RF, and you can do more things like flying assault helicopters around....But RF will keep you occupied for a long while.
    Saints Row, very fun indeed.
    If you have a friend to play Saints 2 with i would go for it!

    Suing Bungie

    I haven't played Halo 3 in a while, so I was surprised to find that every single playlist but social slayer is tied to the Mythic map pack.Am I the only one that thinks this is horribly blatant extortion? I paid 60 bucks for the bloody game plus more for the legendary map packs and yet I am expected to cough up another $10 in order to play the game modes the disc came with? NFW, that is complete crap.I really think that an injuction could be filed to separate the playlists from the DLC, anyone else agree?Suing Bungie
    Stop being so cheap and just buy them. You complain but what if you owned them and none of the playlists were tied to mythic? Then you would just whine about that.Suing Bungie
    yeah i think its bogus that you cant play ranked games if you dont have every map pack. its stupid
    [QUOTE=''Darkslayer16'']Stop being so cheap and just buy them. You complain but what if you owned them and none of the playlists were tied to mythic? Then you would just whine about that.[/QUOTE]

    atleast they could do it like cod4, where whenever a game with a map you dont have comes up you just cant play that game. but to just not be able to play any of the ranked game modes, even if the game is on a map you already own, is just retarded.
    [This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
    Well you obviously can sue Bungie however it is true that they are being cheap bastards with the restrictions. It is entirely possible to have access to all lists (save perhaps a few) without all the map packs. CoD4 does it, you can play any of the online game modes whether you have the map pack or not. I don't know if they will keep this system for MW2 but w/e.This is just a case of Bungie trying to force people into spending another $30 on a game they already paid for.
    actually i agree with you. if i couldnt play RB/GH online bc i dont have new SONGS i would be UBER mad. actually i remeber something like that happening with GRAW2 sometimes i couldnt join friends game bc i dont own the DLC. and i got mad.
    i just find it weird that how before these map packs came out, you could play all these game modes. wasn't that what was advertised? now you have to pay more to play, which is very bogus.
    i'm pretty sure that it's a Microsoft thing not Bungie. This never happened in Halo 2 (when Bungie owned the Halo license)

    I had this problem too- mine was in Korean. For me- this is how I fixed it:In the main menu after the Title comes up and you have to push A,go to the fourth menu item down, the first up from the bottom (this is the language option)English is the third option down, counting the first oneHope that helps!

    I think you have to download it from xbox live
    How do u change the language on Fable 2 from German to English? I bought the game in Germany and now i cannot change the language.
    Not certain you can as Germans are generally inclined to dub their movies and games. Have you checked the cover of the game, should say what kind of languages it supports. But if they like speak german, I believe my friend you'll better take some german classes :)
    Aww man. ok well thanks for the info. ill see if the let me trade it in for another

    halo 3 meta campaign achievements

    at the moment i am trying to get the meta-campaign achievements for halo 3 but i am finding it difficult. it may seem stupid to some of you that i cant do them but i really need some help or tips. thank youhalo 3 meta campaign achievements
    xbox360achievements.org, probably the best place for achievement help. I can't remember 100% exactly what you needed to turn on (skull wise), but I followed the guide on there and it was really easy to get those achievements.halo 3 meta campaign achievements
    yeah activate the skulls(not all of em! lol), get plasma pistol+br kills on brutes for extra points. be patient, get needler, idk anything to help ya.
    [QUOTE=''gow117'']yeah activate the skulls(not all of em! lol), get plasma pistol+br kills on brutes for extra points. be patient, get needler, idk anything to help ya.[/QUOTE]

    Yeah this pretty much. Just put on two or three gold skulls on and play on normal difficulty. Finishing a level quickly helps to but don't blindly rush, that could get you killed which deducts points. And don't do co-op, it's not going to help you any.
    Above all, trust yourself and in your skills, step forward in the battle to take out as many guys as you can or the marines will steal your deaths. But DONT betray em :P
    The easiest way to get them is to put the difficulty on normal and turn on a decent number of skulls, but only turn on ones that won't make it too hard for you.
