I thought it sucked also to be honest. It is a still a shotgun cluster**** just like the other two. Since long range combat is useless because of the weak assualt rifles and cover sytem, it just results in 2 or 3 people all within like 5 feet of each other spraying and praying with a shotgun. Boring, reptitive, and not fun. It always bothered me that the assualt rifles are not only weak as hell but they can't get a headshot, yet you can with the shotgun? WHY? I played it for about 2 or 3 hours then deleted it. I dunno I just find it so clunky and dull. Not enough weapons, the cover is too sticky, and I want to play tactically and in order to do that I don't want to run up to people and roll around like a moron spamming a shotgun which is what everone does! I wish you could also take people down from afar who are hiding in the cover system by popping their heads off with an assualt rifle or dowing them as they are roadie running around but since the lancer shoots gumdrops you can't do it. PLUS the amount of kill stealing is beyond annoying.

Okay first things first, when you log into Black Ops what is your nat type? It is the white writing on the bottom right of the screen on the online main menu. It needs to say "Open". If it doesn't it will have connection problems, until I fixed mine I couldn't ever play Red Dead Redemption or Halo online. You have to go into your router settings and open 4 ports that Xbox Live needs to run smoothly. This page has the 4 port numbers: http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/kb/xbox-kb.aspx?kbid=908874

Do they look for the warranty sticker? Test out a game? Or do they ust boot it up to see if it works?

I traded in my PS3 about a year ago for an XBox 360 and I can honestly say they DIDN'T look at the warranty sticker. My friend and I took mine apart to vacuum out the dust inside. In order to do that you had to slice the sticker to get in. We put it back together and they didn't even know the difference. Anyways from my experience all they do is make sure you have all the parts: a controller, the AV/component cables, and the power brick. They plug it into this machine to make sure it turns on, then they put in a game and just let it run on the main menu. After that you are done. Very easy. Granted that was for a PS3 but I imagine it is the same for both.

Totally agree, I messed around with it for an hour and a half. Thought it sucked big time. I enjoyed the campaign but the multiplayer is horrible. To be honest, I wish I just rented it. Once you beat the story mode, there is nothing else to do.

I have been trying to get an Xbox 360 250GB slim for almost a month now, and I can't find one anywhere at the 3 EbGames/Gamestops by me. I ask them when will they get more and they always say, "I don't know". I got a $100 gift card for my birthday from by girlfriend which is why I have to get it at this store. Anybody know when they get their shipments, like how often or days of the week? Thanks.

I thought MAG sucked to be quite honest, got rid of after a few weeks. Frankly, it is very, very boring. There isn't enough to the game content wise from maps, to weapons, to modes, to options. It forces you to pick a military and stay with it, so you are restricted to their weapons and maps, which is the stupidest idea ever since you limited to like 8 weapons total, and 4 or 5 maps. There is only a handful of game modes, and they are just your standard capture and hold stuff, nothing new or excting. It gets old fast, and I mean REAL FAST. It is just so blah and barbones. The guns themselves feel real weak, and the sound/music/voiceovers are flat out lame. Everything feels muffled and guns sound like peashooters. Oh, and you are going to have really enjoy walking, cause you are going to do A LOT of it. That is the main reason why I hated it. Everytime you die (and you will die alot cause you get lit up from every angle), it spawns you all the way back at the base so you will have to walk a long ways to get back in the fight...it is annoying as hell. You can't spawn back on your squad like in Battlefield, sure you can be revied but to be honest, you are going to die, only to be revied, and then killed again within 2-3 seconds. It is a crap game and the total opposite of fun.

Did you download the 1.20 patch? I think that fixed issues with the boss fights.

It all depends who is writing and directing the film, the Halo movie had the potential to be good since Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) was behind it, as was the Biohshock film since Gore Verbinski (The Ring, Pirates of the Caribbean) was going to direct it. But both got canned because of budget concerns, it seems as though studios want to hire cheap no-name/no talent hacks to make the movies and they always suck and as a result lose money. Last I heard Brett Ratner was producing the God of War film and he sucks. He did X-Men 3 and Rush Hour.
