Brutal Legend

That game was TERRIBLE! At least EB will give me $22 plus 30% (idk if they add another 10% since I have an edge card) trade in credit when I trade it in towards my Mass Effect 2 pre-order.

Halo3 (looking forward to Reach though) and RE5. Halo wasn't bad its just as a current gen title it was lacking in every department with outdated game play... RE5 broke my heart they ruined it...

Far Cry 2. I bought that game on release day, and although I have spent 9 hours playing it, I feel it was a massive waste of money because I'm not that far into it. :(

I regretted buying Assassins Creed 1 for $60 because I didn't actuall finish the game until almost 2 years later. However, once I finished it I did find it rather satisfying. It might be worth a $60 purchase but by the time I finished it it was only $20 usedin store.

Guitar Hero 5 is by far the biggest regret for me. It's got a complete crap setlist and feels like a total waste considering I own GH3, GHWT and Band Hero.

I also regreted buying Fallout 3. The gameplay is long and tedious and I just could not get into it after 12 hours of trying. I'm still hanging onto it though thinking that the mood will strike me someday.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. I'm never trusting a developer ever again when they talk about "features" in their game. Also, I'll never buy a Codemasters product.

I put Prototype back into my Xbox tonight after not having played it since last summer. Its not a bad game, just somewhat boring once you beat its 31 missions. And I disagree with you, Fable 2 was a great game. However now when I try and play it, it has an FPS of about 10.

None although MW2 can feel like a disappointment at times. IW really needs to fix the respawns and maybe one day I will be able to play the maps that I want to. I know this isn't IW's fault but why am I ALMOST always on the worst team? I have a 2.6 K/D ratio but a .39 win ratio.

I don't want to have to call BS on this but I feel I have to. I have a KD about a full ikll lower than that and win much more often than I lose and I am almost always the best member of my team. If your killing that many peoplethan you should be carrying your team to alot of victories.

I mostly play domination and if you want proof you can add me. I wont lie a bit of that is probably from quitting but still I don't quit that much. By the way I only quit when they put me in a horrible map, a glitched game, or the game is basically over. My teammates are so horrible that even with a large amount of kills we still lose. I'm tired of having teammates going 13 and 20 or the best are 4 and 18.

Well Domination is a different story, I play team deathmatch and that is why I can carry a bad team. My question to you now would be are you capturing points or are you just getting easy kills in an objective based game? I don't even play those types of games anymore because it is to easy for people to camp kill because they know right where you are going to be.

I capture points but I do defend them a lot as well. It seems like most of my teammates will only defend one point so if I go out to actually take a point the enemy ends up taking one of ours. I actually play a bit of Ground War now too so my K/D ratio just skyrocketed. I went from 2.44 to 2.59 in just five days. After getting five kills I can get multiple kills with a predator missile which will basically give me my other killstreaks. Within those five days I got 24 pavelows and 14 ac-130's(Trying to finish the killstreak challenges).

im pretty bad at CoD with a bad k/d, but i have a much better win ratio because i actually PLAY domination. not just go for good k/d. i nearly ALWAYS have "most time sprinting" as an accolade xD because sometimes in a close game the best tactic is simply to run for an objective, shooting if you see someone. it does irritate me when we lose by a few points, but someone goes 6-2, ssay they have a 3 KD rate that game and so it wasnt their fault when they didnt capture a single objective. Ive gone literally 10-30, anwon because i got more points then the rest of my team combined

So defending and taking points isn't playing Domination? By the way killing the enemy does help the team win. If you have a Pavelow that is around the point killing the enemies so your teammates can capture is helping. Also ac-130's are excellent at stopping enemies from capturing points because one shot and they are all dead.
