The Modern Warfare series gets worse yes, but Treyarch's CoD games get better and better.

World at War is my favorite CoD game from this gen, but Black Ops wasn't very good.

All CoD games need a leave of absense right now.

Well that's just me, World at War and Black Ops are two of the best FPS games I have ever played.

Modern Warfare is the only thing about CoD that's slowly killing itself. Activision need to just let go of the rest of Infinity Ward and tell Sledgehammer to gtfo, and leave the series to Treyarch.

The concept is "if it works, why change anything?" I am sure that if their sales dramatically decreased, they would change something, but people still buy their games and they make a profit. In the end, while people complain, they still end up buying the game. Sort of like Justin Bieber.

That is not possible anymore. There is a list of recently played games, and he can see which of those he has installed, but it is not possible to list all of your installed games without going to memory.

Oh, I missed My Games. I have never even used that function lol. So what were you looking for then? A menu that is labelled "Installed Games" and it only lists games that are disc games that are installed onto the harddrive?

It happens to some controllers naturally. My controllers have never done that, but that is because I consciously make sure not to make any agressive movements on my left stick or any other button. I like calmly pressing buttons. My little brother on the other hand has the same problem, but that is because he is very aggressive on the left stick and A button.

I would agree that most games on the market are getting easier, but that is because even though some games are on the "Teen" and "18+" markets, the developers and Microsoft have (correctly) acknowledged that children that are as young as 4 years old (possibly even younger) may be playing on these games (when my brother was 4, he was playing Gears of War by himself on Insane...lol). At least, that is what I believe... I have not done research into this topic.

That is not possible anymore. There is a list of recently played games, and he can see which of those he has installed, but it is not possible to list all of your installed games without going to memory.

Go to your dashboard, move your left stick (or D-pad) towards the right until you reach the very end (the system tab). Then press A. After you have done that, you should see various options, such as Console settings, memory, etc... The memory option is the 3rd from the top. Press A on the "Memory" option. Then press A on the top option, which I believe is called "Games"? Anyways, it is the top option though. Then scroll through the games, and press A to look at the contents you have for each game. Scroll through the contents and you should see some contents (1 in each game maximum) that have written on them, "Installed Game". If you wish to delete that, you may do so, and the installed game will be the only thing deleted, not your progress, nor your DLC. But make sure to only delete the "Installed Game" and not the entire game's category.

As an above user said, they already made Xbox 360 consoles that do not break down so much. Buy consoles with the Falcon or Jasper revisions, or buy the new Xbox 360 Slim, and you will notice the difference. I leave my Xbox 360 Slim on all day and all night, every day, set to playing games with a wired controller, and my Xbox 360 has not even frozen, let alone broken down.

Of course, that being said, all technology breaks down at some point, so it would be impossible to build an infinite life span for the Xbox 360.

I leave my Xbox 360 Slim on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I run games such as Gears of War 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Red Dead Redemption on it on a regular basis, and whenever my Xbox 360 is on, it is never on the dashboard, it is always playing a disc game. Although, I do install all my disc games, because I have a 320 GB Harddrive. But so far, I have had no problems with my Xbox 360 Slim (and that is saying a lot, as due to the computers and consoles in my room, the heat reaches 45 degrees Celcius in the winter...summer is higher).

So you think there should be no restrictions on anything?

Not what I was trying to say at all. The point is that options are a nice thing to have. For a developer/publisher especially, giving options allows a larger user-base to enjoy your game. If you want to market your game to a niche audience, certainly limit options, but its not an ideal business model, nor is it pleasing for anybody exceptfor the targeted market.

@Eternal - you are insistent on posting stuff that is entirely too vague and irrelevant for me to respond to specifically. For one, your use of a different color and size for your font reeks of self-importance, which is off-putting and supports my theory that you are trying very desperately to come across as intellectual, when you simply come across as somebody who took a Philosophy 101 class and suddenly thinks they're freakin Socrates.Nothing you've said has anything to do with thecoversation and I refuse to humor you any furtherwith rebuttles of your inane comments.

I like using a different colour and font because I like to easy notice where my post is. Basic reason. If you wish to see the root cause of my using Times New Roman font, it is because unlike the normal fonts, the Times New Roman font has nice curves and designs on each of the letters, which is actually better for the human brain to understand. When you read these words with such designs, you can distinguish them and notice them better.

If you notice my above posts, you will notice that I like "options." I have never supported taking away options. I simply state that options without knowledge can be a bad thing. I do not believe in the terms, "If children are manipulated, their parents are doing something wrong, and it is not our responsibility." The children in the world are the responsibility of the entire world's human population. That being said, there are children that get on to Xbox Live, and for whatever reason are not supervised by their parents. With this many DLC showing up, some people get the tendencies to just "buy". Children are more suceptible than adults (if you have a child, or know a child, in the U.S or Canada especially, you will know how much they want things that they never use). This is what I am trying to say. Just introducing the sheer number of that many DLC, all of a sudden, with the immediate release of the game, might be a bad idea. If anything, the option to buy them should be on the last page, with the first page (when you press A on the DLC) showing instead a description and notice that it is not important, and that you would "UNLOCK" all of these things in the game eventually.

I simply engage in discussions. If I was attempting to show you my knowledge of Philosophy 1100 or various other philosophy courses, do you honestly believe I would write it using such casual language? And just to let you know, most my posts take 45 seconds - 1 minute 30 seconds for me to post. Every Philosophy paper I have written takes me over 30 minutes, because I leave no holes in my argument, and if there is an argument with holes, I would not argue it.

There is no such thing as an opinion going wrong. Simply, that was where his opinion became discredited in your and some other people's consciousness. But he is correct on that account in societal terms. Only people who understand and are educated on a topic should be given an option on that topic.

Example 1:

A 39 year old male, known to be rational, is taught about the logic of guns to protect his paralyzed wife and 3 year old son. He is then given a gun, which by default entails the option to take a human life. Here, we as a society (through an arbitrary regulation policy and body which we have designated) have given him the option to hurt human beings through the use of a particular gun and its bullet type

Example 2:

A 3 year old is crying, and a 39 year old male gives to that 3 year old a gun as a toy that is loaded with 3 bullets. The gun is in no way safe guarded, and the 3 year old has no information on how to use a gun, and the 3 year old simply knows that pressing the trigger makes a loud noise and things come out and it is fun. The 3 year old pulls the trigger while pointing at the 39 year old male's pelvic area. Someone, gave that 3 year old the option to harm human beings through the use of a particular gun and its bullet type.

Moral of the story: Options are not to be accessed by any human being, and are not an inherent right, but rather a priviledge gained through knowledge and understand. *This applies to humans who are part of a society. Those humans who are completely out of the scope of any human society and those who are not humans, need not worry about this, as it does not apply to them. Operationalization of human: Anyone that resides in a society of beings, with at least 10% (at least 10 out of 100 beings, not 1 out of 10) of the beings in an agreement as to the "being" being a human.

You really went through way too much effort to write up what is a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. We are not talking about giving people the power to kill here. You come across as somebody who is desperately trying to sound intellectual, but is so fogged up by it, that you lose the ability to make a valid point.

The point is that for people who dont want to grind or do whatever to unlock this content, its nice for them to have the option of paying for it. It is not yourright to decide whether or not what somebody buys is worth it or not.

And just to humor you,you cant categorize all options as priviledges. They may be in some cases, but that doesn't mean all are. For instance, when I lie down, I have the option of laying on my back or on my side. How on earth is that option a priviledge born of knowledge and understanding? You dont know what you're talking about.

I will not go astray from the topic at hand to explain my explanation. The examples that I gave were relevant to the topic because they provided a scenario for the possible outcomes of options. When human beings discuss, "who decides how much parking space from a fire hydrant is legal and illegal" and arrive at the outcome that it is arbitrary and most rules and regulations are not logical, it will, on a philosophical level, continually expand, and the argument can become, "who does the research for controlled substances, and under what basis are they illegal for recreational use?" See the difference. That is the evolution of humans, human beings need not confine themselves in a box.

"The point is that for people who dont want to grind or do whatever to unlock this content, its nice for them to have the option of paying for it. It is not yourright to decide whether or not what somebody buys is worth it or not."

Never did I claim that it is my right. I simply said that they should have knowledge and understanding before being allowed to have an option to do something. Because of the lack of understanding of many things, the gap between the rich and poor increases. Too many people wish to be free of all rule, of all regulations, that they go so far as to forsake knowledge and understanding, and simply do things for the sake of doing. This is where the malady of the infinite becomes apparent.

"And just to humor you,you cant categorize all options as priviledges. They may be in some cases, but that doesn't mean all are. For instance, when I lie down, I have the option of laying on my back or on my side. How on earth is that option a priviledge born of knowledge and understanding? You dont know what you're talking about."

Thank you for pointing that out. Yes, such options of those nature are not ones that can be taken away without infringing on the human body. There will be exceptions, and I was wrong to claim, "all options."

"You really went through way too much effort to write up what is a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. We are not talking about giving people the power to kill here.

It is relevant, regardless of the shortcomings, if you read the intention of what I was typing (if you "try" to understand), you would be able to understand. Yes, my argument was no "intelletual", because I type these posts from work, while I am usually hiding out somewhere near a computer taking breaks. I had no intention of saying I was the final authority on the subject.
