MW2 disables something on xbox 360 when playing i think its party chat (voice and text). FUCK buying that pos, screwing around with pc users now screwing around 360 users.

Save my cash for L4D2 and Battlefield bad company 2 or some other worthy game, maybe MASS EFFECT 2 oh yeah Bioware know how not to screw pc gamers. You can still be owned by satans son (EA lol) and still make decent titles, LEARN FROM THIS INFINITY WARD JUST BECAUSE ACTIVISON ARE EVIL DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE.

Yep, they 'claim' its to stop people cheating and revealing enemy positions when they are specing.....arseholes! This will happen to more games in the future because its at the developers discretion, not M$

I think its pathetic, I dont like using Game Chat thats why I stay in a Private Chat and talk to my m8s while playing against them.

 

[MilkyWay]

exactly what if i just wanted to chat to my mates while playing a bit of COD? now i cant and i dont see why

if cheating via chat was such a big problem it would be enforced by microsoft and or other companies would do the same

HOPEFULLY for users they add it back in with a game update or something

I think more companies will follow suit now

TBH, XBOX LIVE will be no better than PlayStation Network now

To me... Xbox Live "GOLD"is just getting to be a fee that Microsoft can put on to their people.. Yeah, you may get a few more things then "sliver", but you should still be able to get most of the "gold" without paying. IMHO.. Now, they are throwing in "more" for the gold so they can raise their prices on membership... If I still had my 360 (regretting it now that i see Mass Effect 2 & splinter Cell) I would reverted back down to silver... M$ is just trying to get the most money out of the people.. There would be no reason what so ever for myself to use, Facebook, Last.fm.. But, yet, when they raise the prices, it's a given that I would now have to pay for something I'd never use...

so its official that they are increasing xbox live subscription fees?

facebook and last.fm are good additions i might not use them but hell other people do

thats right tho they are adding new stuff to gold so that people are more willing to buy it

apart from quality of service i dont see why they need to charge so much

 

[Cold Storm]

I don't know that it is "official" but I've heard from someone that Last.FM wants some big bucks to have M$ to use their stuff... So, if that is true.. You can see how sh1t rolls down hill..

Yeah, Last.FM/Facebook, will be a great addition to the people who can't seem to go more then 15m away from their facebook.. But, to me... It's a service that I really don't see to pay for... It's not something that I really want to have..

yup if they intend to increase prices for last.fm and i dont use it i would want that to be optional to pay for instead

xbox live gold is worth paying for but its not worth what they are asking us to pay

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, that is true. And when they go and try to tie in Zune with Microsoft.. Here's a friendly reminder...

IF YOU GOT A ZUNE AND 360. READ CAREFULLY YOUR SERVICE FEE'S.

Their trying to tie your Zune Marketplace with your 360 "Gold" I got raped one month via them charging me almost $30 for a month subscription to both.. When I've all ready paid $60 a year...

It is completely logical that they are disabling this because of Game Battle clan matches. People were cheating and these are legit Clan matches not just regular S & D etc.

so now they use skype or MSN from their PC instead, making it so much harder for them to cheat.

its a silly little thing that doesnt stop the cheaters, but does annoy end users. its just like DRM all over again...

HM, fair point fair point.

Who is your ban?
Microsoft ban wave because it began!!!!

Yeah i heard about that, the bans have begun apparently.


Its like if they shut down google for giving links to porn sites its just stupid. People will still get the end by another means.

In team clan matches you might want to speak to your team mates to work as a team, but i hardly see how that private voice chat would be cheating unless you had a mate in the opposing team giving away positions or something.

sorry ive never come across it (no innuendo joke please)

homebrew wii is something i looked into, nintendo are really pushy they want you to buy thier old games over and over again, look at how many different versions of the original super mario bros there is for there different consoles

that was just a joke btw i love the PS3 i dont own one but its cool to play on my mates, he uses it for media and that too since his laptop is dead

I can see people leaving in droves. 1st the bans, 2nd the fee increases.... but... oh, wait. whats this around the corner.

Natal.
It'll probably bring them all back

 

[js01]

I only bought my Xbox to play Ninja Gaiden 2 and Gears of War 2 and it's been collecting dust for about 3 months, most games come out on PC so I just buy them for the PC but the live charge blows for people that don't use consoles that much but still own them.

Finally a member......

Welcome to the club m8

Thanks...

Played a couple of demos and i have to say I am not impress... :shadedshu
Anywho, I got it for my wife so hopefully she puts it to good use

Anyone selling games at a good price??? PM me...

 

[DaveK]

Besides MW2, there isn't any games I'm buying this year, maybe Saw that looks good and has easy achievements but I'll wait and pick it up cheap, not really interested in L4D2 after the disgrace that was L4D, 2 hour campaign and online where I keep getting kicked by stupid teammates, not really fun, my friend has it but it's better to play with a bunch of friends.

I'll probably get Dead Rising 2 next year too.

That's why i will download on purpose the MW2 for PC and maybe buy it, i bought MW1 strictly for the cd-key to play over net with my m8's , now when the dedicated servers are gone and mods too i'm not buying this pos for 4h scripted gameplay.

Got MW2, love it, but very short. Only 4 hours 30 mins, sure I'll play it on Veteran and again for the Intel, but jeez lol.

Anyone else have signatures on their box? Or M16s? Or Pizza? lol
