I think i have also gotten some gamer pics from the Official Xbox Magazine discs. Some of the secret vault stuff you get from getting all the magazine points on the disc.

I didn't see any Geo wars pics in my list... The pictures just kind of appeared, not like table tennis where a message popped up though. Astropop and Geo Wars are worth it, even without the gamerpics btw :)

Geo Wars was neat but didn't hook me. Oddly enough i enjoyed Feeding Frenzy more... i think because it wasn't as stressful to play. I'll have to check out Astropop since i only looked at the demo once. I was disappointed because i thought Astropop was going to be like Puyo Puyo Pop.

As mentioned in other threads...the Ghost Recon AW map-pack is up for DOWNLOAD. 1200 points.

i don't think the 360 will read CDRs. Can you not even get online w/the free silver account or no broadband? If that is the case you probably want to subscribe to the Official Xbox Magazine - i think (doublecheck me on this) they sometimes distribute updates on those demo discs. They did for the original Xbox at least.

Here are the instructions for creating an update disk using a DVD or a CD-R.

Say, is it just me or are the CoD2 achievements spread out few and far between? :grunt:

CoD2 has plenty of achievements... if you play it in super-hard mode.

Well fuck that. :lol: I can barely get through on "normal" without a headache and palpatations.

Same here.

Heh i played through it once on hardened and got the first 200 points, then i decided to give veteran a shot. Holy crap is it difficult. I doubt i will ever finish it on veteran as any time a different game pops into my head i play that game instead of bashing my head against the veteran wall.

The Saint Row demo will be out August 1 according to Teamxbox. Hopefully it will actually hit marketplace that day and not be delayed for any reasons. It will be a single player only, but at least I can try it before wasting $60, but I have a feeling the fun thing about this game may be the online aspect.

Ive been playing that damn Battlefield online demo for a bit now, and i truely enjoy it. Are there a lot of matches/games for all the maps you get on the full retail or is it a ghost town and only the demo is getting a lot of action?

edstein 06-23-06 05:23 PM

<--- Beat COD2 on Veteran. You guys need to step up your game :lol:

I'm slowly working on it - although i am dreading the missions where you are driving the tank and have to take out the other tanks. On hardened it took me days to beat that level due to the extreme difficulties i had driving the stupid thing.

edstein 06-23-06 05:30 PM

Clearing the houses and the silo during the US missions were the hardest levels for me.

There is no shortage of games on all maps in the full retail. On the vote servers, many people will end up voting on a handful of favorites (such as Bridge Too Far--the demo map). However, you can choose to join rotation servers to ensure that you play on some of the less popular maps.

On hardened clearing the houses i thought was very difficult. The silo on hardened wasn't bad at all though.

The hardest thing for me was clearing the church in Caen, it too me longer to do that than to pass silo and the houses combined. I think I made it more difficult than it should have been though.

I played up through the beginning of the British campaign on Hardened and switched to Veteran. I couldn't tell the difference. I think they are basically the same, maybe a bullet less knocks your health down quicker, but there isn't much of a difference.

Sigh, i may have to purchase my first xbox 360 game soon! DAMN YOU SF2 for not being out yet!

Michael Ballack 06-24-06 09:18 AM

If I can beat Call of Duty 2 on the Veteran setting, anyone can, trust me.

Blitz6Speed 06-24-06 10:52 AM

How do you report some who is playing like a retard to xbox live moderators?

There was this absolute IDIOT who was on our team, would go and put a C4 bomb on every vehicle and wait for a teammate to get on then blow them up! I tried to kick the moron, but match was over a couple minutes later. Anyone know who to contact so they can be banned from live? His username was Prosniper 117

Leave him a negative review by clicking on his gamertag. After that Live will most likely never match you up with him again.

He won't be banned for stuff like that unless he does it all the time and gets a lot of complaints, but you can avoid having to play with him again.

Thanks, did exactly that.

I dealt with that on CoD2 the other day. Some idiot on my own team shot me twice and blew me up w/ a grenade. I dinged him on his Rep.

Martin trys but his aim is not too good. You might want to give him another chance. :D

Speaking of - where have you been man? Haven't seen you in game for a good little while.

Giantrobo 06-25-06 11:06 PM

The other day I saw one of the coolest Gamertags, "Darth Hefner". :lol:

Giantrobo 06-25-06 11:07 PM

Does anyone know if we'll ever get back the ability to check who's online in MSN Messenger? I know I go to xbox.com to do it but haivng it right on MM was really nice.

I want to, but a couple of things are keeping me from it:

1) $15 is tough to swallow
2) Even if I do buy it, I don't think anyone else will, so I'd be stuck playing with the racists homophobes.

MasterofDVD 06-27-06 12:45 AM

I bought it and started the download but it may take freaking forever to finish. GRAW is the only game my buddies and I all have so we agreed to get the content. I only promised to get it after every other person agreed to do it because I think the price is a damn joke.

Deftones 06-27-06 12:58 AM

Yeah, $15 for new content is terrible. I can see maybe $10 if there is alot of content, but everything should be under that price.

Giantrobo 06-27-06 03:46 AM

Yet another game I won't be upgrading anytime soon. :(

I didn't read all the info on this but I assume that IF I do decide to get it I can get a CD like the HALO Map Pack right? I don't want to DL this much info and I've already lost and had to re-purchase downloaded content and I have no intention of doing that again.

A-aron 06-27-06 10:32 AM

I got the update .. sucks that it has to be so much, but I guess that is micro$oft for ya.

Still, where is my Guitar Hero for the 360? Sheeesh.

Michael Corvin 06-27-06 10:39 AM

Speak up with your wallets people. Just say no. You pay this now and they will do the same thing for Halo 3. :(
