    It really didn't bother me since I enjoy the game so much, but most of the time during the story parts, I felt like they might as well be talking gibberish for all the depth it adds.

    You should try hosting your own match, it is a HUGE advantage. That's what my roommate and I do, we get so many more kills that way. I don't play online without hosting anymore, or else I'd probably break my controller.

    What's your tag? I'll probably be playing most of the night with a friend from Westpoint on live.

    You basically have the best connection. Whenever I'm the host I can take enemies down fairly easily, but whenever I'm not hosting it seems like it takes an insane amount of shots to take guys down. It pretty much gives you a slight advantage but it makes a big difference.

    Really? I had no idea, I was wondering about that. It seemed that way, I just figured it was coincidence that the hosts usually had the most kills in games. Interesting.

    Got the email today announcing the new map pack available on the 10th. Of course, I've only played it twice since I bought it.

    Did they say anything about fixing the mic glitch? Prob havent experienced it, but if you join a match in the middle of the game, you can hear others talk but they cant hear you. Can be really frustrating

    Yup, I pretty much quit playing after that blind thing kept killing me when I was trying to take it to the outside world for destruction. It pwnd me and threw my interest back to the sports games. NBA 2K7 is pretty sweet in HD.

    The first time or the second time? The second time is a b****. I spent more time trying to get past that than I did the final boss.

    You guys really should go at the game in Co-op. While the game is good in single player, it really goes to another level cooperatively.

    And yeah, the blind b**** is a pain in the ass. But - especially the second time - it's a lot more fun with someone else.

    yeah the berserker is a hell of a lot easier with two people unless your friend totally sucks. i actually think the second time with her was easier cause i had some practice after the first go round.

    I got to play this for the first time over Christmas when my brother was here. The two player game is quite fun and it was the first good looking game I had seen on my HDTV. Made me want an xbox.....almost. :D
