Jeez, pointless Microsoft errors carry over to thier system.
i never thought i'd hear "well, i downloaded new software, but it STILL dosn't work!" when there talking about a consle.

About the problem, i don't know, try disk repair.

yeah I know...stupid microsoft....soooo, it may sound stupid, but what is disk repair?

oh my god...... I dont think my brother is going to like the string thing, and I dont think is an overheating problem because it only freezes when I play fable, thanks for the help! =)..... I guess my brother is going to have to take it back to store..... damn you microsoft.....

Disk repair is a sulutoin that you wipe on a disk, let it sit for a minute or two, then wipe it off, it fills in the scratches. you can get some at walmart or a Game store

Poppycock · 08-27-2006, 05:23 AM

yea i have to agree with squirrell if the problem happens in one spot of the game repeatingly its the disk

Seishi · 08-27-2006, 03:19 PM

COD2 sucked...
too short, too easy, nothing special

Seishi · 08-28-2006, 08:02 PM

really? coz I loved it, it was okay for me because I suck at playing games so, even if it was in normal, for me was really difficult, psecially when you get up in the tanks.....I had to do that part for like 10 times.....^^

Every manufacturers consoles have problems like this in certain batches so it cant be helped really. Just the unfortunate few really, though the 360 had alot more problems than most consoles as it was rushed out but still great console! Bad plug and fan design though

I liked it, not as groundbreaking as the first but thought it was a good game. Little to easy i agree but those tanks were a pain in the ass.

I beat the ENIRE game on HARD in about 6 hrs. some parts were harder than others, but mostly it was walk into a room, blow the crap out of anything that moves with almost no resistance, move to the next room.

Thats what war is all about, i liked the bit where you had to direct the artillery to fire. That was awesome, loads of troops coming at once. We need more large scale stuff in CoD 3!

Mabey, but i've always been more of a tactics guy, like SAWT. Thats why i prefer airsoft over painball. paintball is like a huge battle, paint flying everywere, your just trying to avoid it, there arn't a whole lot of tactics to be used there. but with airsoft, it's much more fun, you take old abandonded house, one team plays there terrorists, and theother plays the good guys (basicly) then the GG (good guys) hsve to storm the house, and the terrorists have to escape, or kill em all. sometimes it's fun to just throw in a hostage that you can't shoot. but atleast there you don't do charging into battle firing maddly.

Then a WWII game isnt really going to appeal to you is it lol. Plus there are paintball games where you have to do the exact same scenario as the airsoft one you are describing.
