    I don't. My PSP extravaganza tapped out my gaming budget, and I'm chock full of PSP reviews I'm working on, so I haven't played much else since the little bugger hit.

    I just saw the comment that it was a miskate, and wanted to point out that while the reviewer may be on crack, the 2.8 appears intentional.

      Cool. Bummer you don't have it, but hey, a budget is a budget, right?

        Excellent. You'll receive a Friends invite and a game invitation from a dude named Webdanzer from DSP. He has killer upload capabilities on his Internet connection, so he's going to host. Very good guy -- you'll enjoy playing with him.

        Damn, we just need to get a fourth. Marino from DSP and this board may join us around 10:30 p.m., but he's uncertain right now.

        See you tonight!

              my feeling about the 2.8 in oxm is that the reviewer got a pre gold copy that he was told was finished but it turned out not to be. anyone else agree?

                Agree 100 percent, Mick. Do you have the game? What do you think of it?

                  WHAT A FREAKING BLAST!! Just played with PK and Web for a good hour and a half and it was one of the best experiences I've had on Live yet. Totally awesome, this game is no where near a 2.8, hell, I would say it's even well over an 8.2. If you like Rainbow Six and enjoyed Full Spectrum Warrior, this is the game for you, bar none, best blend of each game. Game is just fantastic!

                    I expected it to be pretty good, but it was better than I expected. Great variety of AI reactions, you're forced to cover *every* angle of fire. Suppression, smoke grenades all work great and how they are supposed to.

                    A blast.

                      Agreed on all counts, Extreme and Web. This is the best Xbox Live military shooter that no one will play because of an idiotic review at OXM. This game is f*cking fantastic.

                      How good? After our game ended, I went to play some TOCA 2. After two races, I quit and returned to this game. It pulled me away from TOCA 2. Nothing usually does that.

                      I also had really good luck finding cool people in random Fire Team Arena and Coop games. Fire Team Arena is very suspensful because there are no big open areas for bloodbath firefights. Death is around every corner, instead. It's a MUCH better vs. mode than those in Rainbow Six 3.

                      And I played a Coop game at the Simulation skill level with a three other VERY cool random guys, and Lord, that was the toughest coop level I have EVER played on any console online military shooter. So hard, so much fun. The AI was insane and still somewhat random in our game.

                      The maps are SICK. Take a little bit of the Embassy in GR, a sprinkling of the Market map and the City Square maps from GRIT, a dab of some of the maps in RS:3 and a dollop of the maps from FSW, and you get my drift.

                      The offline game is almost as much fun as online play, a rarity in the world of Clancy shooters where everything is optimized for the online game.

                      There's almost no question that I'm buying this game as soon as my rental expires Saturday. This is the best military online and offline shooting experience I've had since the first Ghost Recon and the first Rainbow Six on XBL.

                      You guys really need to rent this game. Extreme, Web and I aren't just saying this. It's that good, a huge surprise.

                      Web and Extreme, I'm definitely up for some more shooting tomorrow (Friday) night. Let me know.

                      Take care,

                        Game is incredible no doubt! Getting such a bad rap.

                        I'll try to be on tonight, I'm going out and no clue when I'll be home. I'll hop on and look for you guys. Hopefully see you later!

                            Please send me a Friends invite, man. Gamertag is pk500

                            I'll be on tonight around 10:30-11 p.m. (EDT). I may already have a foursome, but if not, then I'll try to hook up with you. Or maybe we can get six to eight guys from here and DSP together for a little Fire Team Arena Vs. action.

                            What a great game online. So underrated it's not funny.

                            Take care,
