I am a disappointed by the map offerings. Some of them are great, but some of them just feel like Call of Duty with a little bit of destructible stuff but mostly static enviornments....what happened to the ability of making your own way through the buildings.....
Heck, Grand Bazaar only has TWO paths in rush. CoD maps normally have at least three!
BFBC is still the best battlefield maps console wise that DICE has created. BFBC2 was good also, but a step down from BFBC because DICE started wanting to do this whole "choke point" thing where the maps would narrow and not give you a flanking route or anything.
I wish they would stop trying to cater to the CoD crowd and cater to the Battlefield crowd.
@spid you have been able to do this for a long time....people forget the xbox's media extender capabilities....
My setup consists of a 4 channel tv tuner card for my pc. Have the cable connected directly to that. Uses the pc as a dvr. Watch all my live/recorded tv through the xbox around the house through windows media center.
@xreadmore You're right I am a Kinect non-owner, but I did buy one for my brother and sister in law. So I have thoroughly used it. Basically you just listed what it's good for. shovelware.
Microsoft is going down the same road as Nintendo and don't realize it. Nintendo's sales have massively dropped in the last year. What came out in the last year? That's right Kinect. Kinect is a gimmick and will garner profits in the short term but will die off like any other gimmick. Once the next "in thing" comes out Kinect will die off. It's how it works.
Hopefully it will be sooner then later because Microsoft's lack of non-kinect games this year and next year are going to effect their launch of the next box in 2013 when their loyal fans that have been gaming on the xbox brand since it first launched in 2001 are pissed because this damn casual focus and lack of any good exclusives other then halo, gears, forza, fable and pretending cod is exclusive every damn year.
