Nice rant.
I ditched CoD due to lag compensation nearly 2 years ago then proceeded to go on a forum based anti CoD rampage for the following 6 months. I'm on Xbox and I probably have top 10 percent cable net.

Edit: tipping you're just not good enough to realise....
I'm guessing you are in the minority in regards to the compensation lag or you are still using the original 360.

And thanks for your concern about my skill, but I'm actually a good player, I just don't need to bitch about every little thing.

Hence my rant at ps3 users, ps3 is just a horrid platform.
As someone who has owned both, PS3 has a stronger first party line up.

It's generally fine for third party games except for when developers skimp with the ports.

I like both consoles, I think Gears of War series is the best shooter on either platform for instance.

But I'm the type who thinks an idle rant on users of a specific console or the console itself when it is developer issues is rather petty.

It's certainly not something that a superfluous feature like XBL could fix. The internet isn't changed by Microsoft choosing to gate a system. Lag is lag everywhere, every system gets it and every system gets lag comp too (because it's something added by the developers - they've even acknowledged lag comp).

I guess the marketing money worked, but XBL doesn't fix connections or lag.

In fact, the vast majority of lag and lag comp videos on Youtube are from 360 users.
Never had an issue with system lag on the 360, if we are talking about the original 360 then that system had its issues, and is most likely what is causing issues for people on bops and bops2 who are still using the old 360.

The updated 360 they bought out runs like a gem, I'll admit I had the RROD on my old 360 which is the reason why I purchased the ps3, but since purchasing the updated 360 I have not had any issues what so ever.

The only time I get lag issues is when I can't find a host who's in Australia.

The only games on ps3 that I think are worth having is the GOW series, Uncharted, Prototype, and another game which I like but slips my mind ATM.

Tbh I don't like GOW, I like Skyrim and all it's previous versions but wouldn't say they are great games, and Halo I absolutely hate, Forza is good but not something I can play over and over like I did with gran turismo.

I agree ps3 probably have a better starting line up (my preference of gaming) but I can say that 360 just offers a better quality experience in gaming.

On top of that the ps3 controller is an absolute fail, the way they tilted the r2 and l2 buttons so that the controller constantly slides out of your hand and doesn't sit properly is just a fail, the ps2 controller hands down beats both the ps3 and 360 controller so I don't understand why they had to change it.

Anyway this argument has been down to death, I just don't understand the constant bickering by the same people who most likely had the same issue with bops and are still surprised when they find out they are having issues.

There was a deliberate attempt to steal it from me as well. Totally unimpressed with my team mates.

Look I understand I would likely waste it but fairs fair.
It should have been yours to waste! You had original ownership of said care package. Then someone steals it

The gall of some.....

Had the weekend off - seems nothing has changed.

Think I might do a little trade-in for Hitman or FC3, or maybe some good PC RPGs.
Any suggestions? Liking the look of that Enhanced Baldurs Gate - never played it before.

How do you gold a weapon? I've only used the Vector or whatever it is called.

I hate my set up. I have no idea what works best. I have about one million unlock things.

Need to record 100 headshots first, then work through other camo challengers such as 50 kills without any perks, 50 kills without attachments, 30 bloodthirsty and revenge medals. Oh and double kills to I think 30.

Easiest way is when setting up class. Hover over the gun (dont click) and press Y. This should bring up your camo options that you can change. You can also scroll over to the next one you need to track how many headshots you have.

Hitman is great, really good game. FC3 has been getting good reviews and the people on here seem to be really enjoying it.
