guys, relax on Best...he doesnt have fun cause there are less "noobs" playing battlefield than Call of duty
wow, they go from US and UK (which is understandable cause its the 2 bigger markets for the 360) and go to austrailia, but skip passed canada (which i would assume is also a big market for 360)...us canadian 360 users always get looked passed and ripped off
here in vancouver canada, we have the option to buy 1400 msp for $19.99 but theres 2 things to note (maybe 3)
1. it isnt the 1600 that is offered in US
2. at this point in time, the CDN is of higher value t...
swat, one shot headshot, or about 3-4 body shots i think it was
think about this from a business stand point...if the sales arent dipping, then dont do a price drop (not sure about the 360's case, cause i dont follow the numbers too closely)
why would a business want to do a price drop and make you have to sell more just to get the same profit as pre-price drop...total units sold isnt what matters to them, its the profit per unit sold that does
dont get me wrong, i want one for the new gamers (i already have one) and ...
@dart - i would assume that the map packs are Elite exclusive, so when its gone, you would prolly have to buy and download the real thing
much like how the free halo 3 map packs were exclusive to the halo 3 multiplayer disk that came with halo odst...if you didnt have that disk, you would have to purchase and download the map packs again even if you already played the map packs from the odst disk
EDIT - kinda like what bakedgoods said at 1.2, that first year...
maybe what he means is that in general they made every map and its resources 100% destructable, but the engine only allows a certain percent of the map to be destrucable and before each match the engine randomly chooses which of that % of the map is destrucable, therefore making each match a different experience cause at times you may be able to bring down a certain wall, and other times you cant...who knows
thats actually questionable...flop usually means fail and the case of a pricecut, it usually means that the company is looking for more sales by attracting customers with a lower price point...however, when a pricecut is applied and the sales havent improved but rather stayed the same or dipped a bit, it just means that the company has now lost potenial profit
either way, that only really matters to the companies and stockholders, not the consumers
EDIT - btw...

@jaosobno - youre european right? i remember my high school math teacher saying awhile back that europeans use commas instead of decimal points (ie. 1,5 instead of 1.5) or something like that
on topic
with regards to sales, i think if any of the numbers should matter to anyone, its the one stating the numbers from your region cause the other numbers wouldnt affect you (not that the numbers should matter in the first place, unless you are a stockholde...
except that a number of ppl from bungie went to work for 343...and lets not forget that corrienne yu is lead engine programmer over there
the "feel" of halo from here on out may or may not be different cause bungie isnt there, but they have proven their worth in my eyes with the work they did with the defiant map pack (yes i know CA worked on that) and CEA...also, their TU and forum and twitter support, proves to me that the community matters to 343i
the online multiplayer for CEA is closer to being its own playlist in REACH matchmaking, than it is to being its own separate online
no no no...you guys got it all wrong, he was talking about tactical, not realistic
what he means is how tactical it is to spawn trap a team with chopper gunner, or how to camp a corner for easy kills...hes talking about that kinda tactical
@ezcex so what was your point again?

btw, theres also a MGS risk game as well, but n4g isnt letting me post the link cause apparently my comment would look like spam

1. rrod replacements are refurbed, refurbed are previously sold fixed units, doesnt count as a new sale
2. buying replacements arent the only reason ppl would rebuy the same console...ive know 2 friends that have 2 ps3 each for different rooms or cause of siblings and 2 ppl (one is myself) with 2 working 360s for the same reason...you cant possibly assume that 360 owners are the only ones buying multiple consoles of the same brand
3. a direct translation betw...
i believe they said blood gulch (aka coagulation) wasnt going to be remade for CEA cause halo reach already has it (or some close form of it) in forgeworld and that it was kinda pointless...cause you have to remember that CEA multiplayer is in essence going to be its own playlist along side the playlists already in reach
halo fest is 3 days
i guess ill be the one holding it down for the halo fans out there and inform you guys about a couple things that are happening halo/343-wise
@shackdaddy - the "class system" in reach was fine, it was the balance of the actual armor abilities which was the problem, and for this matter, 343i is fixing it with the title update (sometime around september) and the beta hoppers
also, that was only how halo reach matchmaking started, they have added so ma...
it kinda reminds me of the sniper shot in the "wanted" movie
either you are subtenko (or however you spell his user name) with a multi account, or you just stole his signature
@battleaxe - i believe what he meant was that the "matter at hand", which is resistance, is what he was voicing his opinion on
either way, i personally dont think it was necessary to voice anyways cause it brought nothing constructive to the table
except that smart xbox live users never pay full price for a year sub, they find deals
