I'm usually a PC guy, but all my friends got it for X360 so I caved and bought it for xbox.

The campaign could have been longer, I agree. But I think with only telling the two stories, USA and Soviet, it would have dragged a bit. I would have liked to see a British campain to keep things fresh, like some of the previous CoD games. My hope is maybe we'll see some DLC in the future.

it take a game or two for me to shake off the rust..I'm sure you just need time to learn the map and weapons.

I gotta set up my XBOX live account again. Still haven't sent in my 360 to get fixed yet. Stupid ring of death sucks.

Got my Wii working though if any of you got it.

I haven't quite gotten used to playing with the Xbox controller. I haven't been able to pull off a good streak yet, the best i've done so far is a 34 kill streak on dome.

I got home yesterday from a week long jaunt in SC and last night I tried the FarCry DLC weapons pack. It's actually quick awesome, the sawed off shotty is cool, the silenced shotgun is all sorts of badass, and the crossbow that shots exploding arrows has a very Rambo sort of feel to it. I like

Also, some Cyber Monday deals:

Amazon has some decent deals going today as well.

Ok, yetsday I plunked down my hard earned cash for COD WaW. This is the second piece of crap software I have purchased in the last 30 days. I'm not even going to detail all the crap I went through to get FO3 to run without crashing.

With COD WaW on the PC - it just would not run. Based on comments on the Internet, I have had to set my desktop to 800x600 and 60hz and dummed my audio down to 41Khz..... Get this - I have had to "dumb down" my pc in order to get the game to run and it still crashes on load about 50% of the time. Once up and running it is at least stable. I'v been gaming since 1984, so yes I know to update everything. The system is up to date, video and audio driver (I even tried a few betas)....... An they cry and whine about game theft/copying. I'm going back to my old ways, burn it first and if I like it buy it.... Right now I'd gladly stick a dull knife in someones chest for wasting my money, patience and most importantly my time with this piece of crap....

Rant over.

What video card are you using Volt?

spooble · 12-01-2008, 11:19 AM

I picked up Pure and Baja for the PS3 from Amazon today... $20 each. Both games have mediocre reviews, but I couldn't pass them up at that price.

My first Nvidia and last 8600GT or something like that. I just got it Last month. I miss my ATI.... 3 ATIs back to back - not 1 video issue in 5 years. It pays to buy good stuff from the OEM people.

cvm4 · 12-01-2008, 01:25 PM

Over the weekend, I also picked up Resistance for $20 and Brothers In Arms for $17!!!

Well, for what it's worth, i've heard quite a few people complain about CoD WaW issues. I can report that my 360 copy runs flawless lol. Anyways, i'm not sure it's a GeForce problem your having. One of my buds has an ATI 4870 and has told me he can't get it to run worth a damn either!

Ok the 2 things that allow it to start 1/2 the time are:

setting the screen to 800 x 600 and 60 hz

setting the audio to 24 bit 41Khz

Back to the warez side of life.... Never thought i'd say that again. Time to bone up on teh copy protection schemes...

It's not even worth playing at those crappy settings. I tried playing CoD4 on my laptop while I was away, but it just looked to bad. 800x600? No mas.

EDIT: Kudos to the mod that stickied this thread.
