Spent most of this weekend opening my front door to friends holding their xboxs out to me and begging me to get their star 69 for them though!
There are hundreds of little tricks and glitches etc like that. As for the glitches being fixed, they cant fix all of them. With Javelindom gone another glitch will take it's place.
Infinite experience glitch, boosting glitches, infinite carepacks, getting out of maps, one man army infinite ammo and equipment, sniper rifle pistols, elevators etc. They are all still doable. Until the game returns to being sort of balanced like it was in COD4 i wont be playing for real.
"you know all you need is the hard drive right? "
Yeah, but i dont like to take my box apart or bits off it. I know how fragile these beasts are so i never allow anyone to touch my box ( fnar fnar ), last thing i need is to fit drives to it and then find it wont read mine or has a loose connection etc. If they want help they can bring over their boxes! Mine is sacred.
As for flashpoint, i'm finding some of these bugs myself. I had one last night where my teammate mounted a .50 and so i ran over to join him so i could support his right flank. Half way there he simply exploded in front of me in a shower of blood and guts. Managed to get to 3/11 in the campaign but it was hard going. Had to restart so many times due to weird things, it was quite bizarre. Even had men who were bulletproof, i ran at one guy when assaulting the airfield comms tower and he was just stood there doing nothing. I shot him in the face and he just turned and faced me. Emptied the clip and he still just looked at me. C4 launching him across the map was the only way he would die. He wasn't even armed!
I'm looking forward to xmas though, a whole plethora of newbs will be going online just waiting to be introduced to all the nice little treats we have waiting for them. IW must be creaming itself with such a windfall just around the corner!
I recently changed the control board for a drive we had to replace ( would no longer read discs ) and while sturdy i dont trust microsofts soldering. The kit may be cool but the build quality is not. That said i've never had to solder off the control board of an old drive and attach it to a new one to replace a dvd drive! Couldn't believe how awkward they make it to replace broken parts until i found out about the standard £80 repair fee they charge for any repair!
After i found this out i made a point of finding out how to get round their dodgy box security. Replacing a dodgy DVD drive should be a 10 minute job and cost £30 tops. Not sent off for up to a month and costing nearly triple the price of the parts!
Now if only the dvd drives weren't so bloody awkward! My personal one started clonking a week ago and i'm dreading it failing over xmas when the shops are closed.
damn so me and johny set up a private match and stomped out tons of tactical insertions and no weed leaf.
does private matches invalidate acheivements?
I will never contact Tech Support as long as I live, google is all the support I will ever need.
I'm gonna guess that you fixed an E83/84 error with the coin/thermal compound?
I just did one a few weeks ago, Arctic Silver 5 is an invaluable tool, that, and a torque screwdriver.
BTW, the coin is only a temp fix, the problem is the soldering on the A/V port and on some the HDMI. Though it usually only happens to the older boxes that don't have the HDMI. If you have a steady hand and the right soldering iron it can be permanently fixed.
I have had problems with xboxs drives since the original, ever single xbox I have owned (3 originals, my elite, and several friends) ended up with a sticky drive and two that stopped reading disk.
Their is one good thing that comes from broken 360's, and that is AWESOME deals on bricked boxes (useful for parts and keys) at pawn shops and ebay.
the hackers are mostly on xbox playing? not PS3 right?
I play mulitplayer on PS3 alot. Not sure about the Prestige deal, kinda worthless for a stupid badge. Love killing a 3rd or 4th prestige. Matter of fact I'm bout to hit it up now.
the other day i got randomly killed by some throwing knife that deflected off the ground....this game is fucking frustrating sometimes.
