XBOX360 Thread - chat and banter regarding Xbox

[markimak]

Gaming thread... not just xbox. sorry i cant seem to change it. could a mod change it please?
Hey guys.
instead of making a thread for each game or news article that comes out i thought we could all collaborate together here and make it a large thread. :cool:

[markimak]

anyway ill start.

Whos got COD modern warfare 2. and did u get the prestige pack.? everywhere is sold out. kinda ghey

my mate told me it takes 4hours to complete the solo campaign on regular

[bunnybash]

anyone play borderlands?? the designers of that game should be shot... their online play on every platform had MAJOR bugs and the online co-op play was the major highlight and selling point...

[markimak]

nah borderlands looked ok. but i rather spend money on CODMW2 than scifi shooter games :)... might get it on wii though.

cant wait for starwars: the old republic. im preordering that one!..

[BN01]

Yep. Been smashing COD all week. So good!

Campaign took me about 4hours i spose. I just play on the easy difficulty though. CBF making that hard for myself. More time for multiplayer :p

Still learning the maps though. Some of them are farking HUGE!

[DamoMcTitz]

MW2 - booo yeh!

trying to get my kill score into the top 1 million :)

[Morph]

koshy & i have been thrashing borderlands today. Good fun.

Might look at getting MW2 for christmas...hmmm.

[markimak]

just got mario and sonic at the winter olympics. modded wiis rock... looks good for a non HD game

[koshy]

koshy & i have been thrashing borderlands today. Good fun


yeh i reckon we smash it again next weekend, i dont feel like playing all over to level up again:D

[bunnybash]

got myself a level 42 hunter... bloodwing is nuts... kills anything level 35 and under in 1 strike!! :p

[koshy]

well thats my aim now! haha

[Morph]

got myself a level 42 hunter... bloodwing is nuts... kills anything level 35 and under in 1 strike!! :p

fkn koshy kept using his bloodwing at random moments ie when travelling to the next place with no enemies around!@

[bunnybash]

lol bloodwing is awesome... what character have you got morph??? guessing berserker?!!? :P

[Morph]

haha nah im using the soldier - pretty decent all rounder :)

Cant believe character is at level 42 bunny :eek:

[koshy]

[markimak]

[bunnybash]

[DamoMcTitz]

Everybody needs to get on Trials HD. xbox live - go get it.:D

And Morph needs more practice and competition.

[Matt]

Love Forza! Add my gamer tag "EBasher" and hit me up for a race I got a bunch of guys that race regularly

[DamoMcTitz]

word that, im about to live large right now.

[Morph]

omfg, after 3 months of having no XBL i'm finally back! been smashing COD with Koshy - damo if you've got it too, join our game sometime!

[DamoMcTitz]

yoll, i just had a race with matt on forza3 - private multiplayer much better than random multiplayer!.

I seen you on COD. I'll hit that shit up next time i see you on. I hope you roll better than on trials hd!!!:D

[DamoMcTitz]

Just out of interest, how many special ops acheivements have you two unlocked on Modern Warfare 2?

[Morph]

working my way through the delta ops now. Where you at damo?

[hendo]

anyone played DarkSector on 360? frickn sick love that game

[Matt]

I havent done much of special ops - more of a WAW zombies fan. But mostly play forza of Bad Company 2. I used to play a COD MW2 a bit but not so much now Bad Co is out, its real hard to go back to COD

[Corosith]

I think I'm addicted to Bad Company, but i'm on PS3!:p

[BN01]

I think I'm addicted to Bad Company, but i'm on PS3!:p

Hoping to go out and buy that today! Had a muck around on it at a mates last night. So much win! I call myself a COD fanboi, but i can definately see why so many are turning to the BF series. Probably give Bad Company a bash for a few months and take a break from MW2. Starting to annoy me...

[DamoMcTitz]

working my way through the delta ops now. Where you at damo?

Charlie ops? not quite delta yet.

[alba]

I think I'm addicted to Bad Company, but i'm on PS3!:p

yeh the vehicles add that bit extra
i used to smash BF2 on PC but i missed the first Bad Company on PS3...

the destructable enviroments are awesome too. the maps look a little worse for wear by the end of some MP games

i'm a big COD fan too...

[Matt]

HSV W427 in new forza DLC is so fun to drive!

[DamoMcTitz]

Making my way through my friends list and beating their forza 3 times. I have not yet found a time i couldnt beat. Anyone here got a serious challenge to put up???? I would love to get some decent challenges going. Matt, im going to go through your times on maple valley soon :)

bring it.

[Llewellyn]

v EAGLE v

Halo 4 lyf, soon to get battlefield

[DamoMcTitz]

Thinking bout trading GTA4 and getting Red Dead Redemption due this week. I got to be honest - GTA4 just dosent have the staying power that i thought it would. i never even bothered finishing TBOGT.

[markimak]

anyone know the best place to get a 12 month subscription to live for cheap?

[Steve-B]

Big W had a special for 12 months + 1 month free halo edition for 73 bucks i think

[Frogman]

eBay has it real cheap

[0dd0ne]

HSV W427 in new forza DLC is so fun to drive!

Its so over priced.

[DamoMcTitz]

Red Dead Redemption for the win!!!

love that shit.

[oodLes]

http://gamecard.com.au/my/default.asp

Cheapest place I've found. I use them for all my MS points and such. They email you the code you need to enter, and you can just enter it online here:

[DamoMcTitz]

Ralliart Colt 2010 finally coming to Forza three - July car pack (released in a couple of days) you wont even have to pay for it as the colt will be the sample car!

finally we can organise some colt tuning and races - without need for insurance worries.

awesome and gay.

awesome cause its the colt and its E class stock

gay cause its the ugly assed new one

[oodLes]

DLC now out with the colt, xbox live marketplace currently down however. >_<

[0dd0ne]

i tried downloading it last night but my net is capped and only got 25 percent in.

[DamoMcTitz]

Yoll,

got the little beast last night (dont need to pay as its the sample car) not bad - heaps of understeer. dif change helped a bit.

Im suggesting a photo comp for forza 3 users of the best RColt photo using the ingame photo shop.

Hint - once taken in the game, log in at forza motorsport website to download your pics to your home PC, and then post away.

Anyone interested?

I'm also thinking of coordinating possible friday night ralliart colt leagues for all friends on xbox with forzamotor sport 3, so make sure you get a colt in every class :)

Tittie Booo Yahhh! s

[0dd0ne]

i think my name is mimiccube on xbox. add me guys.
i've left the xbox on while at work so i should have the pack when home. wont be able to race til the 20th though.

edit: what sorta mods can you do to it? engine swap? drive train conversion (awd)?

Does the new one have the same engine as us stock?

[DamoMcTitz]

Stats Bro's

And yes - you can put a bigger turbo on it :)

[DamoMcTitz]

Is that a Fiesta ST/XR4? WTF is it doing in front of the Colt? :D

[Peter_D]

It's about to get lapped! :rolleyes:

[hendo]

man i just got an update for forza 3 and it made my xbox get the ring of death

[DamoMcTitz]

RROD licks massive eBallz.

I've had Two RROD's now. Next time ill just get the new xbox, and cremate this one.

Better get it fixed in time for sunday night colt racing league.

[hendo]

thing is though it isnt like the normal 1 its just 3 of the sections glowing red and thats it

[oodLes]

All of the red lights mean something different, could be network not plugged in, display not set correctly etc. Google which ones you got.

[DamoMcTitz]

Sounds like RROD. 3 flashing reds is the RROD, not four.

Correct oodLes.

Hendo, how old is the box? is it still under extended warranty? Seriously, it normally takes about 8-12 working days to get it back, send that bitch off - mourn its passing, and then youll be back into the action in no time.

[0dd0ne]

my red rcolt is in B class now. with ALOT suspension tweaking its an epic car. its not as quick as the other b class cars in a straight line but it rapes them in the twisties (think nurburgring)

[Matt]

I have a rare sunday night off of work - anyone up for a bit of a race tomorrow evening?

[0dd0ne]

Yeah I will. whats your address thing for live.

and what are we gona race?

[DamoMcTitz]

I'm fucking down.

I got a colt in most classes :)

im thinking either a 3 lap nuremburg, or a 20 lap maple valley. plenty of time for those tyres to get a little tired, and bring the skill back to the driver :)

On live i am now Damo McCoffnutz

[hendo]

should be back on soon just got a RROD repair kit from ebay so ill have it fixed ASAP only $15.98

[DamoMcTitz]

wasnt under warranty?

[hendo]

wasnt under warranty?

nope dont think so, but i rather do it my self anyhow

[Matt]

I'm fucking down.

Either of those sounds good dude, Got cars in all classes but only have colt in E and D. Maple valley is a good one for sim damage because if you wreck on the ring your munted, Suzuka is fun too.

My gamertag is EBasher

Try for around 6:30pm Melbourne time? If thats no good for you guys I'm easy just post up an alternate time

[0dd0ne]

Fuck I only just got home now.

[DamoMcTitz]

ill be on later - ie 10:00pm Adelaide time

[0dd0ne]

FUCKKKKKK xbox just red ringed. What do i do?

[Llewellyn]

go to the xbox site, fish around for a link. If it's less than 3 years old they will replace it free of charge.

Send it off in a blank box, as in you dont want people to know it's an xbox. Takes around 1-2 weeks.

[0dd0ne]

nah its older then that. 5 years i think.

[Llewellyn]

That hurts.

[0dd0ne]

nice way to tell me theres nothing i can do llewellyn!

=P

[pAuL]

there is - get a ps3

[0dd0ne]

got one mate. =P

[ColtRt]

hey guys

do any of you know how to get the DVD remote control to sync with the xbox? Its the actual remote note game controller. I tried to watch a DVD thro my machine the other day and had to use the controller cos teh remote wouldnt work.

Any tips?

Thannks

[Llewellyn]

You spent extra money to get genuine dvd controller for the xbox, when the normal joystick controller will do everything anyway?

[ColtRt]

Yup, the controller looks like amature hour if you want to impress.... ;-)

[Llewellyn]

Lol if a chick pulls you up on that tell her to get lost!

[DamoMcTitz]

Guys, we still have not had an rcolt race for forza 3.

Should we organise it for an hour session this week - say Wednesday Night at 9:00 Central time?

Rcolt class E-A. Maple Valley full course?

[JamesPH]

Do we need a gold membership or something for online play? Can't believe you have to pay for this stuff.

[oodLes]

Do we need a gold membership or something for online play? Can't believe you have to pay for this stuff.
Yep, you have to have a gold account to play any games with other people. Gold 12month cards are $59.70, OR... you can get a 48 hour gold pass for $2.50!: http://gamecard.com.au/my/shopdisplayproducts.asp?search=yes&bc=no&catalogid=20 - so this might work for everyone if we organise a race. 9pm Wednesday sounds ok to me.

Add me on xbox live: rebellionoodles - and we can organise on the night. :)

[bunnybash]

if you tried using the online play of any other console you would say that xBox live is totally worth the $$, however in saying that - paying for shit sux

[oodLes]

So we doing this tonight? I'm ready for some extreme understeer imho

[DamoMcTitz]

lets do this

[JamesPH]

Oh boy... Wish I bought a 48hr pass now.

[DamoMcTitz]

you snooze, you looze.

im hoping to make this a weekly event

[JamesPH]

Good good I'll get in on the next one

[filofaith]

is it over?

[DamoMcTitz]

yep, its over, no one showed so i won quite easily.

Ill set it up again for next wednesday, and if anyones keener than that, might try Friday night after a few beeros.

[0dd0ne]

my xbox died. i'd beat your ass if it didnt die.

=(

[oodLes]

9:03am I saw no-one had replied so I went and did other stuff lol.

[Llewellyn]

Are you getting a new xbox oddone?

If not i might be tempted to buy forza 3 off you!

I'm online everynow and then, but mainly playing halo...anyone got Halo Reach?

[DamoMcTitz]

i had halo reach, but only from the video store, i reckon i got 3/4 way through it.

u gotta play MW2 - i pretty much only play that or Forza3 on line

[DamoMcTitz]

ps. wheres Matt. i chose Maple Valley, because hes uber pro on that track.

we need some strong healthy competition.

ps settings will be 10 laps, no collisions, simulated damage.

[oodLes]

Any car class restrictions?

[DamoMcTitz]

I have an rcolt in each class, so i was keen to race a few classes at each meet. initially i was thinking of b class. ps, if you want to deck out four colt with rcolt logos, then go to my storefront, ive already created black and white ones.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx14/damomctitz/shortcut.jpg

[Matt]

Yeah, missed mate sorry. Up for a run at another time though for sure, any track is good. If you want to run colts in a particular class let me know, the only 1 I have is in E.

On another note, anyone played 2010 F1? It's a challenge but boring as hell compared to forza.

ADD me on xbox if you haven't alraedy gamer tag is EBasher.

[0dd0ne]

Are you getting a new xbox oddone?

If not i might be tempted to buy forza 3 off you!

I'm online everynow and then, but mainly playing halo...anyone got Halo Reach?

eventually i will. just jaded atm.

[Matt]

Sack Halo, get black ops when it drops!

[DamoMcTitz]

im going online to get some more fastest times off of the ebash.

[Matt]

WHAT!! Let me know what tracks and classes mate. Should be a bit of a challenge and a bit of fun, especially since its hard to get everyone on at the same time for a live race. This might be the next best thing.

[filofaith]

Halo Reach is awsome just needs more maps but with custom maps able to be created its only time before smart ppl make all the maps u want...

i like COD but HALO rules on console for sure !!! and the new reach with running and everything feels so nice !!

I hear COD is really good to, i just haven't had a good look at it due to lack of free time. But yeah im a big fan of Halo Online. I haven't even started campaign, just jumped straight onto xbox live, i have only played what ever maps came up in match making, heaps of re made maps from halo 2 which i like! the pace of the game has changed so much due to running, and im still not use to hearing the huffing and puffing noise as i freak out because i dont know if its a friend or foe.

P.s FUCK infection & save havens.

[Matt]

Anyone up for Forza tonight, say 9:30 Eastern?
