The United Kingdom is Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England. (Today this does not include the Republic of Ireland). Note that this is defined as a Kingdom and not as a country.

England is the country. This does not include Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. The name originating from anglo-saxon heritage. You will not find Welshman or Scots ever refer to themselves as Englishman. (Though they may be defined as British).

Great Britain is the geographical landmass of England, Wales and Scotland (Ireland - Eire is a seperate island). This is named just as Europe is the continental landmass which is made up of several nations/countries. I believe this may be named based on the Briton people (I can't define clearly. but I think it goes back past the time of the Romans).

I'm from Australia, sheesh, Haven't any of you watched Braveheart or Michal Collins? :shock:

Overall, I'd have to say CoD4 had more staying power.

The campaign's were both great, I finished both on veteran. The multiplayer is the test of time though;

I must have played CoD4 for almost a year, whereas MW2 has lost my interest after only two months, both great games though, bring on the next.

My original experience was that Xbox far outdid PS2 where the Tom Clancy games were concerned along with xbox live being user friendly and functional. I left consoles for a few years and came back to the xbox 360 last year for a few reasons; Xbox live -encouraged playing different genre's online with minimum fuss as compared to a specific few I played on PC. I was impressed with how the 360 and xbox live had evolved since the original console. Exclusive titles - Battlefield 1943 and Gears of War 2 only being available on 360 as opposed to PC steered me along (along with racing games for which you can't beat a console). Achievements - Yes I must have OCD, it's a brilliant marketing ploy directed at the weak-willed like myself. I have to admit, it's kinda cool to leave a gaming footprint on what you've played over your gaming *cough* career.

Definately has the potential to be better. Especially for us Australians, if they make a pacific server or something close to local here for better pings. Dice know how to make online shooters. It's got the potential to make MW2 look like a simple infantry add-on compared to the whole BC2 experience. I haven't played it yet, but that's my take so far. (In saying that I'm a huge CoD fan too).

Because it's an area weapon. a hit within approx 5 metres of a target usually does the trick. - Usually used to great effect in gaming. IRL I'll take a front foregrip over a 40mm anyday.

I'm all over the shop when I'm trying to aim in the BC games. I found CoD much easier to aim. BC would see me strafing to hit some targets rather than looking. I've finished the original on hard without any issue, but the aiming definately doesn't feel as natural as CoD. The other issue is, I feel I have less peripheral awareness in this game as compared to other FPS's. Maybe just me?

I just wish that something could be done about multiplayer collisions. I'm trying to reach online level 30 rep, but it's so tedious outside of rally/trailblazer. Any contact races are completely dominated by destruction derby antics making a clean or even enjoyable race difficult to come by. If getting skewered off the track by the opposition was a little less frequent the game would be great. As of now, victory is a matter of surviving the turn one maelstrom of debris.
