I have just got a 360.
I look forward to getting shot in the head by several of you very soon.

Good good, COD 6 comes our soon, i'll probably waste another 6 months solid playing that like what I did with COD 4.
So many great games coming out this year for it.

Absolutely.
COD5 didn't interest me at all. WW2's been done enough times.
Modern Warfare is a far better setting.
( ArthurTheRat, Tue 2 Jun 2009, 15:28, archived)

COD5 was also shite in comparison to 4.

COD4 was fantastic.
I managed it all on Veteran, but just can't do the plane bit at the end.

I've just started COD4.
It's making me realise my gaming skillzorz (especially FPS's) are very rusty.

I might try and get on LIVE tonight for the first time.
if not, it'll be the weekend.

I'm cooking tonight around a mates house but will be on at the weekend.
COD 4 is all about the online, It's so much fun although hard at the beginning. It gets really addictive.

In my (limited) experience of online gaming in the past, it's been shit. I've not enjoyed it.
The learning curve is too steep. You don't last 2 seconds before some l33t d00d is pwning you, like the n00b you are (am I sayin' it rite?lol).

That's not just COD, but any FPS.

The only exceptions I've had to this rule are in Team Fortress 2, where thankfuilly enough people are shit that sometimes I can do alright
And Left 4 Dead, but that's mainly due to the co-op nature and playing with people I know.

I stuck a toe into Quake 3 online once. Never again.

Can anyone tell me what the matchmaking service is like on xbox LIVE?
Could I get a game with other people who are alright, but don't spend 18 hours a day on it?
( RR I love you ... in a way, Tue 2 Jun 2009, 15:46, archived)

it was ok on Halo AFAIK
you had levels of ability based on badges (earned through online play), and you get grouped with people with similar levels.
( spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Tue 2 Jun 2009, 15:47, archived)

depends on the game
a fair few of them have trueskill ratings, where it matches you up with people it estimates are around your skill level

of course other games just tend to dump you with whoever, but those ones tend not to get played online that much
