The Old XBOX Megathread

[Cactus Drags]

Since you guys have been inviting me a lot lately, I'm setting aside tomorrow evening for Left 4 Dead. Either the NCA finally cracks Dead Air on expert, or we do versus, I'm not fussed, I just haven't been playing because it's annoying starting so late that when we get to the end, I can only have a few cracks at it before I have to leave.

[Plubby]

Relax, XBOX'ers...I come in peace.

I just watched a pro gaming Halo 3 event where the commentators repeated the phrase "BR'ing" ad nauseum. What is BR'ing?

[King Ellis]

Battle Rifle, I assume.

[Plubby]

Is that the main gun you get or something?

[King Ellis]

Not the main one no but it's pretty common, especially on the 'pro' circuit. I think the MLG games all have it as standard.

Left 4 Dead in an hour and a half or so

I can't play L4D this early in the day. My little brother hogs the XBOX during the day.

I was just playing RSV2 on versus mode (deathmatch and then team deathmatch) and this guy won every single game, but ironically enough every time I was the last person to face him my character was jumping around uncontrollably, am I being skeptical or was he somehow doing that to me?

I'm also sick of being banned from servers. GRRR... If you want private games then make all the places invite only.

[Matt]

RSV2 anyone?

This is about these circular scratches appearing on games. It must be extremely frustrating for people who're getting this problem for Microsoft to turn round and say it's their fault. Surely they gonna have to admit blame eventually.

[King Ellis]

Apparently Saints Row 2 gets patched today (remember that game?), someone should help me try and get that co-op achivement.

[Fitzy]

The game freezing problem being fixed is good to see. That got annoying. For this co-op archivement, all we'll have to do is complete the ones that weren't completed in co-op to get it, or will they make us do everything over again?

I think I only have the first mission to do in co-op.

[Ruki]

Would we have to go through all of the co-op missions again?

[Kaney]

What missions do you still need to do, Ellis?

[King Ellis]

I have all of them ticked off, it just never unlocked the achievement for me. Hopefully now it will.

just watched the watchdog video, ive had my xbox eilte for about 1-2 years now, and by looks to me it seems the newer consoles are the ones marking up the games, and the older ones could red ring, makes you wonder why we all bothered getting one in first place, such a shame that theres just some awesome games on it

[Ruki]

If anyone wants to L4D or WaW tonight.....

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Why the hell don't I get invited to play anymore? Huh? Huh?

[Ruki]

Never on, never play L4D?
