August 2005 OXM
The demo disc for this one has been pretty interesting. It has a few videos of Xbox 360 games with a couple interviews with some developers.
The big demo though was Battlefield 2. Is this the same game as the PC version everyone is talking about? Either way it has been pretty cool so far and definately snagged my interest. Pretty neat team gameplay if you can get a couple people to actually play it like a team game

It does take some adjusting from Halo though. I have been trying to get the medic class down and it isn't a class where charging in anywhere a la Master Chief will accomplish anything. I also got a huge kick out of playing the Special Ops unit and sneaking up on both a tank and an APC firing on my team, planting a C4 charge on them and blowing them both up killing everyone inside. I'm pretty easy to entertain really.
One last thing, the surrounds on the ol' HTS were really good. I could hear fire clearly coming from certain directions, helicopters approaching, and even my other teammates radioing for airstrikes right around me. Great sound.

If anyone is playing this let me know if you get any lockups. This demo has locked up my old Thompson drive Xbox everytime i play it for like 15-18 minutes. Nothing else has caused that before and i'm not getting dirty disk errors - it is a straight lock-up with an obnoxious in-game sound. It's like it freezes on one sound from the environment.

xmiyux...... didn't want to post any of this in the clan forum .... hmmmm.
Battlefield seems like a real game unlike Phantom Dust....
I did try to get online while you were playing but couldn't find you. The game did seem pretty good and might be worth a shot if we can get a good group going.

I may have to check this out. I have yet to play the last two demo discs due to GTA: San Andreas & trying to finish KOTOR II (which has slowed to a crawl).
As H.I. has probably told you...my copy of Halo is now Halo history. Maybe if Black Hawk Down is really good (and ever gets released) I may see some of you there.
I told myself I would wait until the PS3 comes out to see if I get an Xbox 360 but as the time gets closer I see a 360 in my future.

While fun, not sure how much longer I can take getting up every 10 minutes to reset my xbox.

I played last night for about 2 hours, got disconnected from a server once. Played through at least 5 full rounds. Didn't have any lock ups on my box, the only problem I had was I changed servers twice and it took a couple tries to find one I could connect with. Had to refresh the list a couple times to do that.
