Not really. Frankly the days of needing to master a game by playing it a lot are long gone. Nowadays all you need to do is just sit at one spot and kill people and "unlock" overpowered perks like calling in airstrikes or shenanigans like that which kills people / buffs you and makes you obscenely powerful with no skills involved.

 

Not to mention the annoying people on XBL and PS online is just... man. I'll stick to my indy / small studio / valve / Bethesda games where it's actually fun to play.

I play, and have played, 99% of my games (RTS, racing) on PC. That said, I do drive a mean Kart (Wii edition). But that console isn't at my current place of residence, as I don't have a large enough monitor/TV to hook it up to.

We used to play Halo 1 almost every night on the LAN when I was deployed, then switched to Halo 2 when that came out. We also played some Unreal Tournament on PC. After that, I have never really gotten back into 1st person shooter games.

 

My gaming console history is: pong>NES>SNES>Playstation>PS2>XBOX>Wii>PS3>XBOX360 I also had an original gameboy and a gameboy advanced. I gave the OG gameboy to my ex's kid when I deployed and he called it a "boygame" it was hilarious.

 

I think about the only gaming I do anymore is to play "road to the show" on MLB The Show 2010, maybe it is 09... I have been dabbling at it for several years.

Who's waiting in line for Halo 4 right now?

I preordered mine online. Out for next day air delivery now. Did you end up picking it up?

I have been a huge gamer for a long time. Over the years I have logged thousands of hours on xboxlive but since I am older with lots more responsibilities in life its really hard to play as much as I used too. In either case though, my gamertag is raggamuffin, add me if you like. Oh and if you add me, please let me know you are from s4gru, or else I will probably just ignore it.

Played the hell out of Halo 1 and 2 especially online with xbconnect for free. Those were the days to have 3 original xboxes in the house hardwired ethernet with them all sporting large hard drives. Still have those machines and play them from time to time. They were great for their time with xbmc, game loading for no discs, emulators, mame, etc. Still lots of value in my eyes. I play it more than the 360 it sits next to! I am lazy to switch discs I guess and really don't like the 360s small controllers. Prefer the old school xbox large controllers. They just fit your hands better. I hated the play station controllers as the were so small you couldn't press the buttons.

 

I played a bit of halo 3 but just got burnt out. Today's games just got too crazy and you have to play online 24/7 to even last 5 minutes.

I was a beast on multiplayer on all the halo games but halo 2 was by far the one I was best at.

 

I will say this, and it will probably make you guys all mad but I never played Halo 1 and Halo 2 and I didn't understand 3. Did you guys understand the storyline at all from playing the games? Or did you have to read the books?

 

I played every single halo game and read all the books, personally I think the storyline is pretty impressive and mesmerizing if you are into that sort of sci-fi thing.

Bleh, consoles.

 

Real gamers game on PC's.

 

Probably going to pick up BO2 at least to play the single player and zombies. I love MP, but the horrible console ports of the MP game for MW2 and 3 sucked ass. First Modern Warfare rocked and BO was pretty good once I got use to it.

I, too, can agree with the call of duty assessment. Cod4 was epic, mw2 and mw3 had too many exploits people took advantage of that made the game unfun. (Mw2 being the infinite grenade launcher combo). Black Ops didn't really suffer from this problem, which is why I'm getting black ops 2. But Infinity Ward has lost their touch.

 

I prefer console gaming for most of the games I play. PC has a lot of games that I prefer belongs on PC (any RTS game should always be on PC.)

BF3 is my drug!!

 

I got a 6-core PC with 8 gigs of ddr3 that would easily run BF3...but my PS3 gets the glory...

 

While PC may rock-out with smoother gaming experience...unless you use a magnifying glass on your TV, you can't convince the casual gamer to go with PC over console....plus, console ...errr..PS3 doesn't cost anything for multiplayer...that sells me.

 

BF3 will be it until the PS4 drops..whenever that may happen to be.

Super Mario finally in 1080p via HDMI is a beautiful thing.

I can play the same Wii U game in full 1080p on my world class TV in my living room or in slightly reduced resolution on the LCD tablet-like game pad on my bed. Genius, Nintendo.

The Wii U functions as a console and handheld system rolled into one. I am impressed.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
