The Xbox 360 Thread

It's that time of the year again.

Edit: Every review site has called Halo 4 the best in the series so far. 343 really lived up.

I'm looking forward to Halo 4, but a bit worried about the new Call of Duty take on MP. I'm not a person that can play games for 5 hours a day. Players who can play that long are going to be at an advantage, and I'm already not that great. I really don't need additional, artificial disadvantages. Hopefully it's not as bad as CoD, though, and I hear there's a classic mode that doesn't use that unlocking perks/weapons and such approach. So I can always stick to that. An the campaign - I'm looking forward to that.

Serious FPS gaming is gonna be all about Far Cry 3

In terms of multiplayer in console shooters, Halo 4 blows away everything. There's just no comparison. None.

Can't wait to run through the campaign with a friend this weekend. Holy shit.

Having a Halo night with friends from all across the country and some from my school tomorrow night. We're planning on getting a party of 8 playing throughout..the entire night. Should be sick.

Sounds awesome! I do the same occasionally with a bunch of friends and we hop into demolition matches on cod! Have Fun! And the campaign was awesome, a little on the short side though(only took me 6 and 1/2 hours to complete.

Awesome, haha. Starting it now. 100 in. screen. Shit's about to go down.

Edit: My friend and his roommate went to buy a XBOX 360 just for Halo 4 when I left. Round 2 tonight then. We made it to 10 hours last night..

Made it to 24 hours on Halo 4 in the past 3 days. Not playing any more until my tests are over on Thursday, lol. Black Ops II is out tomorrow. Not that hyped about it. Someone should gift it to me by Christmas either way. Bunch of Black Friday catalogs are already out. Borderlands 2, Assassin's Creed 3, a Turtle Beach headset, and Dead Island GOTYE are already on my BF shopping list. More to come, I'm sure.

I highly recommend getting a turtle beach! One of the best purchases for my 360! It can get a little stale after a year or 2 and the novelty will wear off.

Yeah, definitely getting one. Best part is that I can use it for PC games too.

Reviews for Black Ops II are pretty good. They definitely lack the emotions and enthusiasm seen in the ones for Halo 4 though. Probably a consequence of having a new rendition of the game annually. Can't say I'm convinced to purchase it for myself. Will wait for it as a gift like I said xP.
