Since I broke my ankle and had surgery on it last week I will be playing a lot on Xbox. Add me if anyone wants to play.

Au Will 88 on xbox

I like it. Definitely a fan of the support perks. I am usually ranked middle of the pack or below with the group I play with. At least with support, I can have add a little more.

macsauce13 · 11-09-2011, 08:44 AM

Has anyone found they are dying more than normal? I usually end up in the top three (2nd or 3rd more than first) but im finding myself very erratic in this game. Ill finish second at 22-12, and then next match i'll be sixth and 12-14.

hammondc · 11-09-2011, 11:25 AM

Yep. It is so fast paced. Try forcing yourself to slow down. Also, I am getting a TON of lag.

macsauce13 · 11-09-2011, 11:40 AM

I've noticed a tiny bit of lag, but overall a very positive experience. I have found the erratic nature to be a little frustrating though.

Zeuceone · 11-09-2011, 01:16 PM

The spawn points are erratic. I'm getting the same amount of kills but am dying a lot more.

ucla695 · 11-10-2011, 06:54 AM

I'm still getting used to everything, but it shows potential. I find that I'm having more connection errors/timing out (PS3) like on MW. Some of the chat voices seem 'tinny' too.

Probably won't play it cause I only have a laptop with a radeon mobile graphics card. I haven't had a good gaming rig for a couple years now. Sucks cause I love the MW series. Battlefield 3 also looks really good.

I may rent them from gamefly for my ps3, but I much prefer PC games.

I am an old school PC geek and PC gamer. My sister's Xbox 360 got the infamous RRoD (Red Ring of Death). She sent it in once to MS. The second time she got it, it was out of warranty. Her husband tried to fix it but it didn't last long. Anyway, she told me that if I could fix it I could have it. Apparently she bought a new one for her kids for Christmas. Well, I'll save you the details, but I have it working consistently thanks to some heatsink and fan mods.

Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. She's keeping the accessories for her new Xbox. I'm going to get one wireless controller and the hard drive since it's not compatible with the new Slim model. I've researched the XIM3. It seems expensive at $150, but in the long run it's a LOT cheaper than building a gaming PC. Plus, most of my friends are on Xbox 360 and I'm itching to own them with a mouse and KB. I regularly get wrecked when I try to compete using the regular controller. The lack of accuracy is overwhelming to me. As I learn maps I have been able to at least keep even with them, but as a PC gamer I feel like I'm walking in wet concrete and overcorrecting every adjustement to my aim like a drunk driver doing 160 mph. XIM3 seems like the perfect solution. I've read some of the cheaper alternatives aren't nearly as successful in providing a PC game feel. If anyone has used one or knows someone who does I'd love to hear some feedback. The cost is even more than anticipated once you read the fine print stating you have to provide your own wired (Microsoft brand) controller to plug the XIM3 into.

I think I'm going to take the plunge. So, if anyone has a wired Microsoft brand Xbox 360 controller they are willing to part with PM me. In the meantime I'm going to see about getting the XIM3 and MW3. Although I might have to put them on my Christmas wishlist and wait.

P.S. sorry for the wandering thoughts here...

ApexAZ · 11-10-2011, 02:12 PM

I have an xbox too, and a wii, and an onlive console lol

. I remember buying a ps2 (meaning keyboard ps2 plug) adapter a while back and it was terrible because it was trying to emulate joystick movements with WASD keys.

How does it work out here? Have you tried it?

EDIT: Just looked at the price...YIKES!

Lol, no I've never tried it as I'm just as bad with a keyboard and mouse as I am with a controller, but according to the videos on their site, its pretty badass especially if you come from a PC background.
