Xbox 360 Fanboy

These fixes will be more than welcome, and I very much appreciate that kids aren't getting a hold of this game... Although last night I played a 7-year-old in the UK... he called me a wanker.

Little kids aren't ALWAYS the problem. Oftentimes it's college age guys talking random shit or singing random stupid songs and talking trash, and that DEFINITELY exists in this type of game. Little kids just have annoying voices.

Halo 3 is fun.
Call of Duty 4 is fun.

I wish every FPS shooter didn't always divide everyone into "Halo" or "Anything but Halo". Halo is an amazing game, but you need variety. That's why I have 10 or 11 games. I play Halo, I play Call of Duty. I'm just sick of hearing "CoD4 sucks" in Halo, and "Halo sucks" in CoD4.

I agree. They need more custom classes. I'm a 38 so i just got overkill perk, but even with that, i feel th eneed for more custom classes. OORR, at least let you choose the weapons for the default classes.

This patch is needed. I've enjoyed both Halo 3 and COD4 but while I prefer COD4's multiplayer, it needs more detailed stat tracking and the like. Bungie have got that side of things nailed. There's just so many extras to the online side of Halo and for the most part the matchmaking is smooth as silk.

I would love advance stats, but my main gripe is custom classes on split screen! Please! The preset classes are all useless to me, and since I don't get to play online as much as split screen because my friends are always around, I'd kill to have custom classes. It'd make our games much deeper. Why have a game with like 60+ weapons but only have like 10-15 available in that mode?

A boy can dream, I guess.

I'm not bored with teh Hal0z, so I don't see a reason for me to buy COD4 yet. Unless it goes on sale...

I'm kinda with Toro...I bought COD4 last week along with AC (it was a bundle and a steal...) and the most interacting with the game that I've done so far was open the case, take off the sticker, stick it onto the inside of the box (cuz I do that with all my authenticity labels), and read the manual...all while I was on the bus to school. Right now it's sitting on my shelf collecting dust. And will for a while to come...Mass Effect is coming tomorrow. That'll sit Assassin's Creed down, as well as my copy of Halo 3 that I play regularly. Mass Effect will rule my 360 until I get through the story once, at which point I'll probably sit it down and hit up AC.

When I'm done ME and AC, I'll play COD4. Plus the vast majority of my friends list is playing Halo 3, and not COD4...so yea.

Yes, I know I'll get flamed for having COD4 but not playing it yet.

Why not give us an update for co-op

I'm not necessarily trying to talk trash, but after all of the CoD4 comments being left on Halo posts, I figured that I would add my .02 here because I rented CoD4 and I guess I'm just missing something.

The campaign was somewhat cool and intense. It only took a few hours (which turned out perfect for the rental), but was missing the feeling that the fast edits in the bad ass commercials teased me into thinking it would be like. The screen shots showing the individual blades of grass were what really intrigued me, but fell kind of flat when I realized that it was only on that one particular level that they show up in such detail.

When I was finished w/ the Campaign, I went online and I actually heard more little kids than I do on halo3, although they were british-sounding, which made it a little more interesting. The maps and modes weren't very intuitive and teammates wouldn't communicate like they seem to in Halo3.

It also seemed that I had to "earn" the (scopes of) weapons that I got used to using in the Campaign mode by beating people who already had those weapons which seemed to make it pretty unbalanced and frustrating when I could see the replay of my death through the scope that I wanted.

After comments about how great the multiplayer is, I realize that maybe I am missing something because I probably just suck or had bad luck with the matchmaking so I am about 50-50 split on renting it again, but it will require seeing a lot more to convince me that something is separating it from the past WWII CoD's, other than the locale and time-period.

And so, in the spirit of things, I will end by saying something divisive, but honest: Going back to Halo3 online after playing CoD4 was like the rush of getting a shot of strait up heroin after a few fixes of the methodone that is CoD4 (or what I can imagine that being like, anyway).

Peace and whatnnot,
J
