What should I do about this?

To whoever this may concern. My Xbox keeps freezing when I play Call of Duty 3 but not on other games such as Gears of War. I can play Call of Duty 3 for around 40 minutes to 2 hours then it overheats and freezes.Then when I play Gears of War I can play all night and it only stays warm and never freezes. I keep my 360 in a well ventilated and cool area and I have owned it for less than a year. I was just wondering if I should waste my time calling their support, which in that case they might not even fix it because Gears of War still works or they might give me back a 360 with even more problems then before. Does anyone have a suggestion of what I should do?

Well the 360 should be able to last over 2 hours. My friend can play Call of Duty 3 all night.

I've already tried that, but I didn't rent one. Instead I borrowed my friend's game and I still have the same problem.

Maybe you should limit yourself from playing too many hours a day. That might solve a few problems and save microsofts time.Alpha172

Wow you are all about the useful answers tonight aren't you? (read)

I agree with the idea of renting another copy or borrowing a friend's. The freezing is probably the disc's fault.

I've heard that the 360 uses only 1 of its cores on gears of war and uses all 3 on call of duty 3.X360gamerX

I find that hard to believe looking at the two side by side but I guess the unreal engine could be more efficient or something. You could try putting ice or a fan on your 360 while playing and see if it perpetuates.
