Are you serious? first off, black bands aren't the reson we have rock, rock and roll was influenced by rythm and blues, and country music. No one race can clame to be responsible for creating rock. Secondly, if harmonix could they would have Hendrix DLC out next tuesday, but they can't help it if they can't sign it. Third, i don't know if you realize this, but modern rock is dominated by white musicians. And lastly, they do have bands in their from other minorities, Rage Against the Machine for example. I would list you more bands but I have to get ready for work. Bottom line, Harmonix would not exclude a band from their roster based on race, and to think that is just plain stupid and silly

This shouldn't be surprising for anyone. Everyone I knew, knew the 360 wasn't going to age well. It came with a current gen DVD drive, and a crappy proprietary HDD that was slapped on at the last minute (the thing is slower, holds betwean 20 - 120GB, and is more expensive then 500GB drives you can put in a ps3). People are gonna still buy Xbox's. Seriously who would wanna play a Playstation online? I played my PS3 online, and it's worthless, lifless, stupidity that is a total waste of time. Everytime I would play online, and meet someone worth putting on my friends list, when i would go into recent players, no names would ever be their, i would have to write their names down in the game lobby, quit out of the game, go to "add friend" and type their name in. So long as I can play all these great multiplayer games on Xbox live, I don't care what single player games are "too big" for the 360, and yeah I know GTA had multiplayer but we all know thats not what is filling up the disk.

p.s. The PS3 HDD is not proprietary, it supports 3.5" Laptop SATA drives which hold upto 500GB

[QUOTE="Riaz85"][QUOTE="PlasmaBeam44"]

COD:W@W is NOT COD5. COD5 will be made by Infinity Ward and be called COD5: Insert Subtitle Here.

But COD4 is the better game all around. Better story, better multiplayer, and most importantly better guns.

uhhh... they were calling WaW, COD5 before it had a subtitle, and treyarch made COD3, and i believe InfinityWard already stated they were working on COD6

Yeah and your also forgetting COD:Finest Hour and COD: Big Red One. I don't remember anyone calling those COD2 and COD3 at the time so why starting calling COD W@W COD5? Just because it came out after COD4 doesn't automatically make it COD5. It's a spinoff.

Finest Hour and Big Red One were both spin for the ps2, xbox, and gc, im guessing that genration of consoles didn't have what it took to run the original CoD engine, they were cheap simplified ports, and as i stated, "Call of Duty: World at War" was known as "Call of Duty 5" before they gave it a subtitle

Okay, I see what your point is, I played Battlefield 2 on PC, I never played as a Commander, but when I played a game with a Commander who knew what they were doing, it made winning almost a given. But don't go calling FPS's mindless shooters. You can go into a game with all the strategy you want, it all comes down to tactics. I play RainbowSix on gamebattles, and trust me, if all you go in their with is reflexes and a gun, your already dead. FPS's requires tactics beyond the obvious, you can have a strategy but if your up against a competent team that strategy usually doesn't last 30 seconds, its all tactics, how long does it take for the opposing team to get to point "a" or teammate "b" just died, where will the enemy try and flank from, what corridors will they try and lock down. its far more than twitch reflexes, is it fast past? yes, mindless? hardly. Now I don't think I would ever be a good commander in Battlefield 2, but I am far from a button mashing mindless idiot, oh and the R6:V2 clan i was in was #1 at the end of the first season and their are hundreds of people on that game who are a better shot than i, just not as smart.

 

Only thing I didn't like about Halo was the introduction of regenerating health, I remember playing RainbowSix 3. and feeling good after wounding someone in a clan match, but I've gotten used to it and noticed the benefits, players have more courage and camp less now, and I personally take advantage of health regeneration, knowing that its not a gamble to sprint to a better vantage point or better cover, or simply close the gap between me and my opponent

Apparently Col. Kilgore knows nothing of the state and capability of the fiber optic networks already in place and that download speed at this time is not limited by bandwidth but rather the switch relays. He also must not realize that in a couple months every Netflix subscriber with a 360 will be able to stream Netflix's 30,000 plus "watch now" library. I'm guessing this is the kind of guy who thought CD's would never be replaced by digital media...SuicideVanV2

no thats not the only limit for fiber optics networks, a large majority of buildings (apartments, condo's, office buildings) have what techs in the industry call ONT's (off-network termination) which goes to the "common closet" of a building and gets hooked up to the existing copper infastructure (and yes this includes verizon's fiber-to-the-home plan) their the bandwidth from one fiber is spread out over 8 living units (another words 8 customers share 1 fiber). it is mostly only houses and buisnisses that are getting fiber optic directly to them with no sharing

wow, ok for starters a 1080p high def movie is larger then 8 gigs, the exception to this are certain formats and codecs you can use on a pc (like mkv without high def audio), not a set top box in your living room. second your xbox's dvd isnt streaming hd video and sound, it loads the data onto the system memory and the cpu and gpu do the rest. it isnt just about storage its about bandwidth.

no matter what they do for hosting and network codeing it still comes down to bandwidth and distance, a good host will have over 1mps upload and preferably in the same region as a Network Access Point, i have 2.4mps upload but i typically dont host because i dont live near any NAP's (having your isp's C.O. near a NAP greatly reduces routeing). also having a solid connection yourself helps.

ghwt tracklist better? are you counting dlc? gh dlc support sux, 100+ songs vs. 500+ by then end of the year, their is no comparison, plus gh admits to altering the songs difficulty based on the bands request. only thing better about gh is the peripherals, the drums look sick, but they should be better, obviously their gonna look at the rb drum kit and say "how can we make that better". my prefrence is rb2, you get weekly dlc (which is never less then 3 songs, and its usually more, this tuesday is 6 songs), you can buy just one song if you want, and the dlc cost less (80 to 160 msp, plus a discount if you buy a track pack or album). im gonna get em both, but if i had to choose 1 it would be rb2, they support their product way better.
