A difference of opinion does not mean the review is wrong/bad and that Gamespot is slipping....

Every single time I try to play Team Deathmatch, it just sits there searching for lobbies, with 50 matches, checking quality for match, analyzes a few of them and... puts me in none. Same with Ground War and and Multi-Team. I'm really sick of this. The same thing happened with the first Black Ops after one of their updates. I wasn't ever able to play Team Deathmatch again. Mercenary worked but they took it out of this one for some stupid reason (not interested in Moshpit). Does anyone else have this problem?

I just want to know if there is anything I can do without sending my computer away again. I ran a full scan with Avast today, it found nothing.

Anyway, before I sent it away to apparently not get fixed at all.... seeemingly at random, computer programs had been 'not responding' for no apparent reason. All programs did this. Scans with Avast yielded no results. My Laptop is still under warrenty so I sent it and when I got it back... it was worse!
Now, although the initial problem doesn't seem to be happening quite as frequently, it does still happen just like it used to but now it does it in more ways. Like last night, I just wanted to watch a video off the computer and about half way through it just froze... not the whole program, just the video. I easily closed VLC down and when I opened it up again, it went past the point it "paused" at with no trouble at all, whereas before, it didn't play up at all when all I was doing was watching something off the hard drive.
And as of tonight (I've had the Laptop back 2 days) after listening to music on Windows Media Player or watching a video off the hard drive or on Youtube, the sound starts really stuffing up and becomes unbearable (I don't know how to describe the noise),
Also, the key for " doesn't work unless I press soemthing else, like spacebar but then it acts as if I hadn't hit the spacebar and I have to hit it again (although if I hit a letter next, they both pop up at the same time)... I use that key quite often, so it's really annoying... This problem was there before I sent it away, I just forgot to tell them about it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Perhaps there is a program I could use to find the problem?

When I got it back there was a piece of paper telling me what they'd done.

[spoiler] Disassembled unit
Replaced the Mainboard
Reassembled unit

Unable to tried with DMI version 1.17 and 1.19
Called CE assist and spoke to Amet
He is sending me DMI version 1.18
Recieved this software from Amet
Tried to tattoo with DMI 1.18 still unable to
Called CE and spoke to Saharna she is sending out a new mainboard
Parts used: 1x HP supplied Mainboard

Job Incomplete

Disassembled unit
Swapped mainboard
Reassembled unit
Tattooed mainboard
Test ok
Parts used - 1x mainboard

Parts returned - 1 x mainboard

Job completed.

Doesn't sound completed to me. Sounds like they assumed they knew what the problem was. They told me it's probably the main board over the phone but I thought they'd be smart about it and make sure that is the problem, instead of just assuming it is. [/spoiler]

Are you sure the controller you use isn't broken, or you're not just accidentally pushing the stick down in the heat of battle, or something?

Just because your opinion is different, doesn't make the reviewer wrong..... But one thing they should have mentioned, which I haven't read in any of the 3 reviews I have read about it, is the complete lack of local multiplayer. In a game that has clearly had a lot of time put into making the multiplayer really good, the developers left out such an obvious feature. Being able to play with someone on the same Xbox. I can't even bring the game over to my friends house to play because I don't know anyone else that has the game and even if they did buy it, we'd have to have 2 xbox's, which isn't really a problem but then we can still only play with 2 people... it's so stupid!! I had a friend over on the day I bought the game, thinking that of course we'd be able to play together... but no >.> There is no excuse for this crap. No reason to not include local mutliplayer... and I thought Modern Warfare 3 was bad for only allowing 2 people to play online on the same Xbox but this takes the cake for one f the disappointing moments in my gaming history and I'm not kidding or exaggerating.

I can modify a Shotel to +8 and that's it. It wont let me make it go any higher, the option is literally not there. If I take it to the giant blacksmith in Anor Londo, the only thing he offers is to make it +5 again for some reason.

Can anyone tell me why this is?

[QUOTE="Jacanuk"]

So no new console until 2014/15

How sad for Microsoft.

And what a fail for Microsoft.

howlrunner13

How is that a fail. We don't need new consoles until then.

Exactly. And Kinect was obviously something they're using to extend the 360s life, not that it really needs it. Yet, so many people still expected a new console to be announced, even when it was only a year after Kinect... *sigh*

I gave up when I had 20 plus minute delays.

Yeah, that was happening to me too, so I refreshed the page and now it wont load at all. Also, I miss the days when E3 was actually about real games and hardware...
