Rainbow Six Vegas 2 simply doesn't work online on PlayStation3

Worse on PS3(TM) - Rainbow Six Vegas 2 simply doesn't work online on PlayStation3
Yay! Another game for the PS3 list of shame!

You'd think developers would've got the hang of PS3 by now, but no. PS3 games are still the inferior, in-bred cousins of their Xbox 360 counterparts, and Ubisoft's R6V2 is the latest to suffer in comparisons between Xbox 360 and Sony's rubbish box.

It's so bad that Ubisoft has made an announcement that it's investigating issues on the PS3 version. Issues which include, but are not limited to, problems finding servers, problems staying connected to games, guns pointing through walls and allowing players to shoot through walls (!), random sounds appearing in the wrong places, the game crashing on its menu screens, it rebooting the PS3 in the middle of missions and... much, much more.

It's a mess, basically, with players spending hours trying to connect to online games - then getting dumped straight out of them again. Ubisoft's fault? Or Sony's bargain-bucket online system's fault?

lol

Proof Xbox LIVE Can Get You Pregnant

Best to let Xbox LIVE player Stacy explain what the hell's going on:

I just thought you might be interested to know that Mike and I met playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown. Funny thing is, we hated each other at first, but somehow ended up falling in love. I was from Georgia and he was from the Bronx. On a leap of faith we met, and we have been together ever since. If it wasn't for Xbox LIVE, our paths would have never crossed. :) We had our daughter—who we thought to be the first Xbox LIVE baby—on September 24, 2007. Maybe she's the first Xbox 360 baby, at least... I AM SO THANKFUL FOR XBOX AND THE ONLINE COMMUNITY! If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have the man of my dreams and a beautiful new baby!

If you're cheating on Xbox Live, the hammer is about to come down with full force. Microsoft is pulling out all the stops to put an end to it and embarass you as well.
A LIVE player who obtained their gamerscore in this abnormal way will

*Find their gamerscore reset to zero, and
*Be unable to regain all previously earned achievements, and
*Be labeled as a cheater for the community to view.

While players who have been identified by these criteria will start from a zero gamerscore, they will still be able to gain achievements for future games. In other words, we give them another chance to earn future achievements by earning them as other fair players do. The original gamerscore correction will remain permanent without any way to appeal.
Good to see a course of action finally being taken .

The Fight Continues - New Halo 3 Downloadable Map Pack

The Fight Continues - Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack Arrives in AprilThe award-winning “Halo 3” multiplayer experience continues to evolve with three new maps available only on Xbox LIVE Marketplace
More than 7.3 million copies of “Halo 3” have flown off store shelves, upwards of 500 million hours of frag-tacular online gameplay have been logged on Xbox LIVE and the Heroic Map Pack has been downloaded by 1 million plus gamers and counting. But it’s not over yet…
Microsoft and Bungie today announced that April 15 will mark the release of the next wave of “Halo 3” downloadable content. Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points, the Legendary Map Pack will introduce three new maps to the title’s award-winning multiplayer experience, Ghost Town, Avalanche, and one map yet to be revealed. And with the addition of some exciting Forge options, fans can explore new ways to create and share their custom “Halo 3” content.
Ghost Town is a battle-scarred maze of narrow passages and dangerous ruins outside the once-prosperous city of Voi. Collapsed ceilings and shell-battered buildings provide both valuable cover and deadly traps, as catwalks and stairways take the fight from claustrophobic ground combat to dizzying rooftop battles. Ghost Town is a mid-sized map ideal for Team Slayer games and smaller, objective types.
The second map, Avalanche, is a tribute to Sidewinder, a “Halo: Combat Evolved” fan-favorite. This massive, vehicle-oriented objective map adds a twist to its classic predecessor with all new interiors, dramatically reshaped exteriors and brand new vehicle variants. Take a ride and admire the visual variety from the cockpit of the retuned Hornet.
The third map to be included in the Legendary Pack has yet to be announced, but stay tuned to Bungie.net for full details on another returning classic… fans of smaller Slayer maps, it’s time to get excited.

THANKS TO THE CHAPS AT "GAMERSCORE" FOR THE INFO

COD4 title update now live

The long-awaited title update for Call of Duty 4 has finally passed Microsoft’s rigorous certification process.
The next time you play COD4(assuming you’re connected to Live) you’ll be prompted to download the update.
Here is a full list of what’s included in the patch:

New Kill Cams - Everything that can kill you has a Kill Cam now. Grenades, Airstrikes, Claymores, C4, M203 Rounds, RPGs, anything. So jump online, get owned alittle and check them out. They’re awesome, especially Grenades and M203 shots that go across the map and through a window.

Host Migration - Host migration was added, so now when the host leaves you won’t get dropped back to your own lobby by yourself. Everyone will stay together. Host Leaves, everyone returns to lobby, selects next best host, and the game starts up again. No more re-inviting, re-partying up because a host ended the game.

Improved Sniper Accuracy - The Sniper rifle accuracy has been improved. No more, WTF? shots now. Your cross hair will be a better representation of where your shot will ultimately land. Try out a sniper class today, let us know how the new accuracy feels.

Improved ACOG Scope Accuracy - ACOG scopes accuracy on any weapon has been improved. Test it out, throw it on one of your classes and give it a go.

Upgraded Spectator Cam - Now when you’re a spectator you have the option to follow in 3rd person or 1st person. As well as rotate 360 degrees around the player you’re watching. Next time you’re dead in Search and Destroy and just watching your team mates do stuff you know you can do better, now do it in 1st person or rotate around them.

Quick Mute Option - Now you can easily and quickly mute players in-game or in-lobby without ever going through the Xbox Live blades. Just go to their gamertag on screen and hit ‘A’ to quick mute in lobby, or via the in-game scoreboard if playing. Quick. Easy. Salvation!

In addition to these feature additions there will also be:

Improved Network Performance For Larger Games - 18 player games now require more bandwidth to host, resulting in smoother performance for players.

Optimized Server Selection for First Match - Server selection is now optimized to select best bandwidth servers associated by LSP.

Fixed “Playlist Older Than Host” Error - Player will no longer get this error when entering games.

Additional Start Spawn Locations in All Maps - Added a minimum of 9 extra start spawns on each side of all maps
