BLS 314 Posted November 12, 2009 iam thinking of getting a ps3, is it really worth it? I've owned both an Xbox 360 and a PS3 now. The variety and titles of games for Xbox is much larger. The online play for Xbox is more robust (more functionality, easier to use, etc). The online play for Xbox is more reliable (so far...I've only owned the PS3 for a month). The online play for Xbox COSTS $$. Last I checked it was about $50/year PS3 Online is free. The PS3 is not quite as prone to the overheating issues as the Xbox. I had two Xboxes die on me. The PS3 is much quieter in operation (I have the new slim model...which may make a difference). The PS3 can play Blu Ray DVD's and the Xbox CAN'T. If you have kids, and enjoy gaming, especially during the crappy winter months, then yes, go for it. Even though it's a bit expensive to buy the console and the NEW games, you can get a TON of enjoyment out of it for the money. A night out drinking might cost you $60. One good game on the PS3 will give you a years worth of play for the same price..... It's a good stress reliever as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, patch is supposed to come out tonight. I'm working on getting everything unlocked for the M4, but getting 40 kills with FMJ rounds using bullet penetration is brutally hard. I'm about 75 kills short of 500 overall with it, 20 head shots short of the Blue Urban Camo, and 20 FMJ shots short of opening extended mags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 6,590 Posted November 13, 2009 Game was shipped to my work yesterday and I was out sick. Fail. I will be able to play for a couple hours when I get home tonight, then I have to bartend from 9 to 2 am. Fail. I can pretty much play all day tomorrow, and my new GF works from 9 am to 6 pm. WIN!

I'm sure once I figure them out, it should be much easier. I hope the patch works, I don't like just playing with people i don't know, just seems so random Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope the patch works, I don't like just playing with people i don't know, just seems so random Some of the maps are RIDICULOUSLY huge. Some are pretty big, but I've learned most of it, but some I'm still lost as to where I am in the map. Doesn't really matter. It's necessary to just keep on killing. Are you on PS3 or Xbox?

KayJay1971 239 Posted November 13, 2009 My friends and I waited in line for 4 hours at the midnight release. Had it in hand at 12:06. Took the week off to play it with my son and have logged about 17 hours so far. I am not good by any means. Usually midle of the pack but would like to have more friends to play with. My PS3 user name is Stank-Nasty (with the dash in the middle). Would really like to play with some of you guys so send me an invite some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swirvenirvin 25 Posted November 15, 2009 So what is better the missile or sentry gun with 5 kills? Also I've called ina chopper a few times, I don't keep track but does it give you credit for chopper kills anymore? I could have sworn I had more kills than it showed. Or maybe the three times I've called one in it killed no one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
