I do not want to spend a fortune, maybe around $100. I was thinking about getting wireless but I have been reading about interference. My gaming console is across the room, maybe 5-10 feet away from my couch.

I have been looking at Turtle Beach, but my brain cannot comprehend all of the different models.

Anyone got any advice on how I can get better at this game? This is my first time playing a first person shooter game on xbox.

I usually get 3-4 kills and 10-15 deaths per game.

What do you recommend for a good beginner weapon? I have been using the UMP45, I think I am level 12 or 13 on this gun. Would you recommend switching to another weapon?
Surround sound is a must if you actually use your ears when you play, meaning if you pay attention for footsteps running behind the wall you're facing. It's not necessity, but it helps when you start relying on more than just your eyes. Turtle Beach is a rather overpriced headset, however they do make good products and of course they're one of the sponsors for Call of Duty. Astro (http://www.astrogaming.com/) is the official sponsor of MLG, Major League Gaming, which is the competitive league. You can always go for Plantronics, Logitech, Sennheiser, Creative, Tritton, Sharkoon, Steelseries or Razor. I know that seems like there are way too many, but I'll list a couple known ones that are good.

Caveat... Pay attention if they are XBOX/PS3 Compatible. If they are audio jack only then you'll need to buy an adapter. I hope that helps a little =D
