Topic: Got new gamertag!

Alright, my new gamertag for Xbox Live is:

efri004

I wanted it to be efrie004, but I forgot an e. No biggie.

Anyways, right now I have CoD4 (the first one), Forza 3, and Grand Theft Auto 4. MW2 will be here tomorrow or Wednesday. It was still $59.99 at Wal-Mart, but I got it from newegg with free shipping and no tax for $47.

So you guys can add me if you want.

Re: Got new gamertag!

I added you.

The only multiplayer games I have are Left for Dead 2, MW2 and Borderlands.

I'm getting Bioshock 2 tomorrow but I'm not getting it for multiplayer.

EDIT: I'm also willing to play Bad Company 2 demo if anyone wants.

Re: Got new gamertag!

I'll add you next time I get on or you add me: Zeppelin10

I won't be playing much this week but when I get I play MW2.

Re: Got new gamertag!

Alright, I'll go ahead and add you. I'll add sp3x, too, but he probably won't be on for a while, being in Haiti and everything.

I went through my games, here's what I have at the moment:

Halo 3
Forza 2
Forza 3
CoD4: MW
CoD4: MW2
GTA 4

I haven't played GTA 4 online, I'd be curious to see how that works.

Re: Got new gamertag!

GTA 4 online isn't very good in my opinion. Something you'll try a couple of times and get sick of. Maybe you'll think differently.

Re: Got new gamertag!

I might give it a try.

Forza is really the only game I can stand to play in standard def. MW2 and GTA4 are both really hard to play on a regular TV. Especially MW2, it was insanely hard to get any kills at distance.

Re: Got new gamertag!

Any game on 360 or PS3 in standard definition is a waste.

Re: Got new gamertag!

Yeah, they really don't even look "next gen"

I still had my HDTV when I got the first CoD4 and it looks absolutely stunning. MW2 on a regular TV made it look like I was playing Halo 2 on the original Xbox.

Re: Got new gamertag!

Why are you using a standard definition TV?

Re: Got new gamertag!

I had a 37" Vizio that I bought a couple years ago, when I lived in Little Rock it was stolen.

I ordered a 37" Toshiba 1080p this weekend, so it should be here tomorrow or Wednesday.

So right now though, I'm using a 36" Sony CRT, I can't move it by myself it's so heavy. I'm not even sure what I want to do with this thing, I may just put it in another room upstairs, because I don't want to move it back downstairs again.

Anyways, yeah, standard definition is kind of a temporary thing, and it sucks.

Re: Got new gamertag!

Ah. Why not hook it up to a computer monitor?

Re: Got new gamertag!

I guess I could, but I can go another day without having HD.

My monitor doesn't have an HDMI input, which means I'd have to go find one of those Xbox 360 VGA cords, or get an HDMI - DVI connector.

Re: Got new gamertag!

Quick question guys, I've been using the HD component cables hooked up to my TV since we got the HDTV.  Would getting an HDMI cable make it look that much better?

And Erik, I added your account.

One day we will look back on this, laugh nervously, and change the subject.

Re: Got new gamertag!

The output with the Xbox 360 is exactly the same, so it doesn't matter if you use component or HDMI.

I prefer HDMI because it's less cables, and with the new elites, they don't come with component cables.

On my other TV I also used HDMI on the Xbox because I only had one HDMI input and one component input on my last TV, so Xbox got HDMI, HD DirecTV box got component.

To answer your question, no, it won't matter. The 360 only outputs max 720p/1080i, there is no 1080p with the Xbox. True 1080p anyways.

On another note, if anyone wants to play some Halo 3, I actually have a headset now. It might hold me off until MW2 shows up.

Re: Got new gamertag!

I use HDMI but I believe it doesn't really matter, it looks great either way.

Hey Jav, are you gonna get Bad Company 2 for the PC or Xbox (if you get it at all)?
And thanks guys, I guess I won't switch then.

Re: Got new gamertag!

I'm getting it for Xbox only because 2 of my cousins are also getting it on Xbox. You can be our 4th if you want smile

Re: Got new gamertag!

Your gamerscore is incredible Jav, that is all I have to add.

Re: Got new gamertag!

Holy shit Jav.  I never even noticed.  How many games do you have?
On a somewhat related note, around the time I updated to the new xbox experience I lost a ton of my achievements, including all of them in one or two games.  It's pretty weird since now I have some achievements that you can only get after certain achievements I don't (eg. the class a license but no class b in burnout).  Anyone else have a similar experience?

Re: Got new gamertag!

I've had the same gamertag since the original Xbox and I bought my 360 on launch...

Right now I have like 4 games lol...

Since I work at gamestop I get to check out used games for like a week so that helped my gamerscore somewhat.

I do buy too many games too but I trade in a lot as well.

Re: Got new gamertag!

I bought Dante's inferno and Bioshock 2 today smile

http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/javthegreat.png

Re: Got new gamertag!

Dante's Inferno looks pretty interesting. I wonder if it's anything like the book. How is it so far?

Re: Got new gamertag!

I haven't read the Divine Comedy and so far I've seen reviews that the game doesn't do it justice.

I like the game a lot though. It's basically a God of War rip off but it's unique enough for a rent for sure.

Re: Got new gamertag!

What say you about Bioshock 2?

I made a rhyme.  I wish I could do that all the time...

*gasp*

...And a pint of Guinness

Re: Got new gamertag!

Bioshock 2 feels like I'm playing the first one.... I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/javthegreat.png

Re: Got new gamertag!

probably a good thing because the first one was really good.

Re: Got new gamertag!

I was about to say that but I'm posting way too often.  I should be getting it soon.  How is the multiplayer?
