Ah-HA! I was wondering who that was. I kinda figured it was an S owner.

Welcome to the club, Pete!

Thanks, man.

I bought too many games up front. I am gonna take a WHILE to get up to speed.

CoD4 != Rainbow6:3 for controls, so I have to start over a little there.
Forza2 != PGR2 for controls, so I am REALLLY lost there. Being lazy with the controls and sloppy with the lines does NOT pay off in Forza2 like it does in PGR.

I'm too used to holding the throttle wide open and just applying the brakes in ADDITION to the throttle, then dive-bombing the inside line and using a car that is driving the RIGHT line to "help" me complete my turn.

It still works in Forza2, but not as well as it did on PGR.

Rich, I jumped back on for a bit, and I had my best Sniper game yet! Had the Barrett .50 cal. Perks were Iron lungs, claymores and stopping power. That rifle is sick and I was capping people's faces like it was going outta style.

Too bad the opposing team always have it out for snipers.

I've boxed up the 360 and packaged up the games... No more for me.
