Yeah egg baker must be from here as he's on my list too.

There are a few people on Arrow. I was gonna invite you but you went on ME. Live wasn't bad last night. Doesn't follow that it might be the same tonight!

OMG, I've won a couple of rounds of Free-for-all

Either i'm getting better or everyone else was having a really bad night.

My kill ratio is still 0.77 though

Anyway, not relevent to anything but I thought I'd post as I was feeling quite pleased with myself

Played a bit last night & got the red dot sight for the M14.
The iron sights make it almost unusable as you can't see what your aiming at. One time there was someone stood right in front of me & I it took me 5 shots to hit him .

It's power & accuracy make it great for Domination/Deathmatch, though not so good for Headquarters Search & Destroy etc. The recoil makes for more headshots than normal as well.

Need to get some more gaming done.

Well i can safely say.. COD4 was SHIT yet again last night on the trusty xbox live

It was yet again, ok until around 8pm.. until i got a party going and decided on some old school action in a private game. After an hour or so, decided to join public games and could not connect AT ALL!! Again, when trying to send friend requests (which you had to as everytime you would try connecting to a game you would be thrown out of the lobby with all sorts of error messages and would have to re-invite everyone again) the blades would just freeze up for ages, and sometimes even made me have to turn the console off and back on again.

Continued to play on private there on until around 1:30am, until there was only 2 of us left, tried public again, failed about 5 times to connect, and in the end managed to get into a Domination game. Once the game ended the lobby closed and we started getting error messages again.. so i just swore and got red in the face and went to bed!

Stop investing in voice activation crap in Ford cars and fix xbox live!!

Seems like i've missed all the shite xbox live service they've been providing! Which is good and bad. It looks like as you said Sinner at around 8pm everything starts going downhill and unbearable, i think its to do with the different timezones, America is 5 to 8 hours behind us depending on what part of the country your in. So at 8pm and onwards its 3pm in New york e.t.c and 12pm in Los Angeles e.t.c, so it looks to me that this is why theres problems due to the amount of people. Thats why its easy to find games earlier on in the day because its early in the morning in U.S.A so not as many people are up playing COD4, which suits me fine!

Now i wish UPS would hurry up!

Yeah you aint missed much mate.
This is why i suggested Sonys recent plans to sort the servers out for different regions would be a great move for Microsoft too. At least then we would be on a EU or even UK server and just play against people in our own timezone - hopefully sorting the problems out... plus less bitchin in games between yanks, brits, red necks, canadians, and whatever else i hear on there

No! It wouldn't be the same without the Americans. They can sometimes be really funny, even though they don't realise it.

Also, some of the German/Spanish clans are inhumanly good so our scores would suffer if we could only play people from Europe.

Yeh i agree in a way, but it would take abit of the fun out of the MP side of it - i mean no yanks to insult or beat? It would be better in a way though, obviously less problems.

I wonder if you could have options to either select which regions you wanted to match made in, or maybe even select which countries? So i.e I could select that i only wanted to be matchmade with people from the UK, Ireland and Australia - This could be changed to all regions/countries or just a selected few?

Anyone think this would be a good idea?

I've noticed that as well

prestige mode?

the way I understand it when I reach level 55 I will have a choice to start again from level one in prestige mode and keep doing that until I get to an effective level 550 but what are the options or reason to stick at the high level, is there anything else to work towards? I have heard of getting golden guns somehow, is there anything else to work towards or is the best option to aim for lvl 550

The only other things you can work towards, apart from golden guns, is your ranking on the global leaderboards.

I'm probably going to go Prestige all the way as I like levelling up with the different guns.

It is just there to extend the life of the game.
Effectively you start over each time with limited weapons/scopes.
I did it as i was getting bored.

Is your rank reset if you go prestige?

I am thinking the prestige route is the best for me as I like levelling up, it gives me something to aim for.

Yes you start over , just on a new level.
Level 1. (1-55)
Level 2 (1-55)
etc

Yes you re rank to 1 again. With all your weapons reset as well. You don't get different symbols the whole way through. Just the same one. It's worth it because when you hit 55 all XP is only counted towards the leaderboard which will happen anyway regardless.

It's up to you though

Yes your rank is reset, so you will recieve a new badge/symbol with the number 1 next to it. All your guns/scopes/perks will be removed and you will have to work your way back up to lv 55 to get them all again. The only thing you will keep is your clan tag (if you use one) and your stats!

There is a total of 560 levels, because when you get to level 55 you have to level up again to get to level 1.
