Hey all, I'm new here.

I've been a long-time Playstation owner, I have been since the first PS. I didn't own the original XBOX, but I recently picked up a 360 elite during all the holiday sales, and I have to say, so far I'm really enjoying it. My folks got me a year of XBL for christmas, but the problem is, I don't really have anything to play on it. I have Left4Dead2, but I'm looking for something more competitive, not so much co-op.

So, my question is, what games do you all play on XBL, and which would you say is the most worth the money?

Note: I already own MW2 for my PS3, because most of my friends have PS3s.

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, like I said, I'm new here, be easy on me!

For competetive online games, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, can always try Gears of War 1 & 2, any sports games (I love NBA 2k10).

Modern Warfare 2 is probably the best online game right now, but the exclusives like Halo and Gears are also good.

Cool, I was planning on picking up Gears 1&2 in a few days, I wasn't sure if people still played them.

Now, about Halo. Since I've been a PS3 owner, I've never actually played a Halo game. Do you think it would be hard to get used to for someone who's used to more realistic games like CoD?

Also, if I were to buy a Halo game, would Halo 3 or ODST be the better choice? Being that I'm planning on buying it mainly for online play, I'd assume ODST is the better choice.

Are there any games coming out in early 2010 that people have been looking forward to (for online play, of course)?

When it comes to online play Halo 3 is my favorite. There are other games like Call of Duty, Gears of War 2 & GTA 4.

I've never actually played any of the modern warfare series so I cant compare. Halo 3 is a pretty easy game to get used so you shouldn't have much of a problem. Buy ODST, because ODST comes with all the DLC map packs.

To answer your last question: Sometime in March-ish, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming out, and 1 has awsome multiplayer. There is a multiplayer beta for the PS3 version and there may be one for Xbox in January

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is due out in the next couple of moths which is said to be a strong rival of MW2 so give that a spin on the 360 as im sure that will be a very popular game. You could also get Cod:W@W it may seem a downgrade but it still has a lot of activity online as i was playing it a coupe of days ago and there was still just under 1 milllion players in the versus playlist.

Thank you everyone! I took a trip to gamestop today and picked up a copy of ODST. I'm popping it in right now! Thanks for all your help.

I'm sorry that I didn't see the sticky, I guess I should have checked there first ^_^;;

I'll be sure to check out BC2 when it comes out, too.

Saints Row 2, GTA IV are fun to play. Also, try picking up Battlefield : Bad Company, I personally love that game. ;)

Halo. Theirs a skill ranking system that will keep you with your own skills. And Halo 3 ODST is the better choice. All the MP stuff, and decent SP, and superb co-op modes. If you mind you like the single player, you can go back and purchase Halo 3, which should be cheaper, but comes with none of the MP DLC> Bad Company 2 Alan Wake Forza 3
