Xbox 360 Console Discussion

Someone quick, i want a game.

Strangehold or MoH: Airborne.

 

I prefered the MoH demo however.

 

Stanglehold as MoH is supposed to be very very short. You can beat a mission in less than half an hour and they are only 7. Just repeating whats in the OXM mag this month

[Guest Jordan]

I bought MoH :p

 

I honestly found it far more entertaining and more engaging than the very arcade shooting of Strangehold. Plus, the MP can keep me satisfied.

 

 

EDIT: Check your email inboxes people. CoD4 beta keys are out. I got mine, registered it and now i'm awaiting a token.

 

Beta starts on Monday.

Prety sure that exact list was on NeoGAF about a month ago and it was shot down completely.

[Bluejay]

Xvid? That's like totally awweeesoommmee!!

 

That is the main reason why that list is considered fake.

 

According to Nerds who know stuff about stuff, thats not gonna happen so the list is as fake as the Sega games list and the demos after E3 list.

 

I want a Live Arcade blade though.

DO NOT BUY MEDAL OF HONOR: AIRBOURNE, IT HAS THE WORST HIT DETECTION MODEL I'VE EVER SEEN.

 

FUCKING EA, YOU *****.

 

YES, THIS DESERVES CAPS, I'VE BEEN STUCK ON THE FIRST LEVEL ON NORMAL DIFFICULTY FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF DUE TO THIS MOTHERFUCKING POSSIBLITY TO ACTUALLY HIT ANYTHING, BUT THE AI SEEMS TO BE CAPABLE OF EASILY HITTING ME FROM HUNDREDS OF FEET AWAY.

 

FUCKING WANKERS.

 

</caps>

[Domstercool]

From what I've heard it's suppose to be like that or something. You only really get great aiming after the upgrades. So I was told anyway.

So, it's meant to be shit then?

What am I saying, it's EA, of course it's meant to be shit.

BUMRUSH THE COURT!!!!

By that I mean, trying running through the level shooting all the enemies in the face at close range. Then, when your aiming improves, start shooting from range.

 

I don't know, I haven't played the game. Can you not grind your aiming stat up or does it drop if you die.

It saves at the end of each check point, stats wise. But when you die they reset to those.

I keep getting disk read errors from playing Gears of War. I bought it second hand from Gamestation, but the disk is in perfect condition. I lost the receipt, dya think they'll exchange it for me?

[Caris]

If not just rent a copy from Blockbusters and swap the disks

Are you kidding me? First level is piss (mainly because it explains Italian Blackshirts are shit) I was runnign around all over the place. I only died onece, and that was just luck. I got over 200 kills in the whole level, and upgraded my weapons 4 times inc. fully upgrading my M1 Garand.

 

2nd Level on the other hand.... yes that is a bit tricky. But i can still blindfire kill tonnes of Nazi skumbags

[Mikey]

Found the receipt.

[Guest Jordan]

Urghh this game isn't getting any better.

End of level 5, theres this bridge and with no warning you often get shot with rockets from enemies on the sides of the bridges' gurders.

 

Its often a 1 hit KO as well, so you have to reset a good few minutes progress back to the checkpoint. I fucking give up with this game, i'm so pissed off with it.

 

I must have reset a dozen times with no success, swearing my head off because i'm so pissed off at this game.

[Guest Jordan]

Nope, its my own fault for being a MOH game that isn't MOHAA, the only good one thats ever been made.

 

This game just has so many bugs, issues, annoyances. I mean, the online isn't even working. You try to connect to the EA servers and you just get an error message.
