View Full Version : MW3 - did you stand out in the rain?
If you save it to the hard drive does it still have the same problem? Worth a go I'd have thought

When it's playing up, turn the whole console upside down and see if it makes a difference.

Tried twice to install to hdd and failed at 37% and 82% when the unreadable disc error reared its ugly head. Will try that upside down trick when i get chance ta.
Bird on phone at microsoft support said somthing about a new disc format XGD3 that is 1gb larger than usual which includes mw3 gw3 and bf3 may be causing the read errors as the lazer has to work faster than it was designed for? sounds plausible.
Don't move the Xbox with the disk inside spinning. It'll scratch it to ****

Nice.
I think you have to pay for the expansion packs though if they are 2nd hand.

They are not mandatory if thats what you mean.
I'd say play the base game (still 9 maps) and if you enjoy it, then get the expansion pack as well - think it is £15.

I'll be on soon, need to diy or die.
Just has a 12 week scan (MrsFruit has a bun in the oven).
As soon as I get the bedrooms decorated I'll be shooting up a storm.

ok, played BF3 for about an hour and first impressions aren't good, its not as smooth or as polished as CoD but I want to try and change the sensitivity settings to see if that improves aiming and shooting but at the moment I'm not digging it......... gonna play CoD for a bit until specialone has downloaded the updates and is online too then have another go

If you try to play BF3 like CoD you will not have a good time.
I've not played CoD but from speaking to people who do or have played both, they are vastly different play styles.
Cod is much more of a lone wolf type thing, much faster paced than BF. BF is much more about team play (to get the most points) and is slower paced, esp on consoles where it is "only" 12 vs 12.
Cod has the coveted kd ratio. Although BF3 also has this stat, its much more about the SPM (score per min).
i.e
I have been top of the leaderboard with barely any kills, but lots of deaths - by playing a supporting role (reviving, dishing out ammo, health packs, etc). Conversely I have had a decent kd ratio but only been halfway up the scoreboard.
Each to their own, I'd perservere with it though to give yourself a chance to get used to it - esp if you are coming from being used tp another FPS.
