The Old XBOX Megathread

[Nick Adams]

I'd be down for some ME3. Just haven't seen you on lately.

Probably won't be getting Halo 4 for a while, if ever. Reach just turned me off the series, and that was something that even ODST couldn't do.

[LL!]

I will welcome Norro into our Halo 4 games!

[King Ellis]

Yay, Halo Norro!

And I'm up for some ME3 also. Platinum though? I've barely ever broke out of Silver.

[Summers]

I still have ME3. :|

[apsham]

I picked up Black Ops II today - anyone else?

Is it any good so far?

[apsham]

I'm still at school. I'll be home soon though - I will letcha all know in a few hours what my impressions are.

[Toe]

I should be picking it up later today.

[apsham]

Mmmmph!

Fucking amazing. And you can level up playing Gun Game so I don't have a reason to play ANY other mode in the game, though I suppose I should probably venture in and try some of them at some point.

[Dan]

BO2 is the best CoD for a long while.

[Toe]

I am getting a message that says the servers aren't available at this time. WTF.

[Cactus Drags]

I'm hearing Blops 2 is actually...good? I've also heard the multiplayer just feels like MW3, which apparently is a bad thing.

[apsham]

I played Modern Warfare 3. This certainly does not feel like that.. eww. The maps are absolutely out friggin' standing.

[Baddar]

I noticed the new COD has quite a few online trophies/achievements. That'll go down well...not.

Although if ever I was going to go through the frustration of playing a COD game online for any length of time, getting something out of it like that would be considered a bonus.

[King Ellis]

The Treyarch ones usually do, it was the IW ones that didn't cause I guess they wanted people to just play and not alter their playstyle for the sake of achievements.

I guess that might have changed on MW3 since IW isn't what it was. I never played it though.

[Ruki]

Apparently there is a league mode or something in multiplayer? Interesting. Although I am likely skipping this year entirely...didn't get enough play out of MW3.

The only COD game I've played was the first Black Ops, and that didn't have online achievements. There was one for completing the "training" which you could do with a friend, though.

I thought people only ever bought CoD to play online, anyway. That factor might be the difference between me ignoring and buying it this year. Online trophies are good for a game that is basically only fun when online.

[Baddar]

Well I personally wouldn't bother playing COD online when there's nothing to play for besides a different emblem.

There's an achievement this year for getting your first prestige, so again, something to play for.

[Summers]

COD is basically an online game with a bonus story.
