I just fired up COD5 on XBL the first time last night and it was incredibly frustrating. When your console goes looking for games it doesn't try and find a game using a map that you have, it just looks for the "best" game. If it turns out you don't have that map it very helpfully pops up the XBL marketplace so you can buy the map packs.

Problem is if you don't want to drop 800 points (~$12) on a random guess of which one of the three available map packs you need all you can do is go try and find another game. Guess which game it selects as the "best" game again? Does the PS3 version handle this better?

I have every COD so far and a pre order for 6 but this is really making me think twice. I'd just go for the PC version but the dedicated server thing is pretty obnoxious too.

PS3 doesn't send you over to buy the map pack. I have never had an issue with getting into games. My only issue is they won't load me into lower level games so i have to wait till player on my level skill are avaliable (maybe 20 seconds max). Ussually i hit the "find game" and i am in right away. I am very anti-xbox and this sounds like another way microsoft is trying to get more money out of you.

I tried it again and it worked better, I was able to get into a couple of games for a while before the map rotated to one I don't have. On the whole the fact that it pops up the download window when you need some additional content is good, it just saves some time. It's Infinity Ward who designed a game browser that tries to join a map I don't have over and over again that burns me.

The whole reason I bought this thing was so I could stop gaming on my desktop and use Linux full time. I got the Xbox because it was $200 cheaper at the time, I don't know what I was thinking.

The first COD MW was fantastic. The new one looks even better. I'm planning on getting it for sure. I use a PS3 and have enjoyed everything about this cosole. I don't have much time to play games as I would like, but I can't pass this one up. I haven't played COD for awhile. I guess I better get some time on the COD4 game before the new one comes out so I'm not so rusty .

Anyone going to buy the prestige edition?

Anyone standing in line at midnight ????
