I finally got the chance to play my Xbox 360 last night! Ok, well, my wife's 360 (pooka, a site member, is currently fixing mine). Anyway, I bought the Wireless headset and CoD3 from my wife's little company and powered it on. This was the first time in three months.

I finished the training (got 5 achievement points for my "work") and started the first sequence of movies before starting the battle - and got a friends invite to play CoD3 multi-player.

Here is where things go ugly. I had played the game for all of 10 minutes and started up a multi-player game without any real clue. I was still adjusting to the control scheme (I beat CoD2 on veteran but I've played G.R.A.W since then). Anyway, to make the story short - I didn't do my team any favors :-)

My first experience was driving a vehicle - cool! ... into a friendly tank... not cool. This killed me and Teufelhunden fairly quickly. All I could say is "oops."

Later, I managed a bit of "friendly fire" from my Tank shells on a friendly tank. However, the best part? Teufelhunden and R3DMAN1138, my team - they didn't bitch moan or complain. They just respawned and kept up the good fight. I got better once I learned what a class was, and how to plant mines. But, I just wanted to say thanks to those two guys for losing some battles last night with the codemonkey n00bster.

You're all awesome sports. If I had been on a match with some teenaged timmies I'm sure I would have gotten a mouth full of curses.

Hey Code, you're not the only one to have such experiences. I joined as a noob on COD3 and didn't know any maps, playing against Teufel, Doodi and some others. I was a slow moving bullet sponge since I didn't know my way arond any of the maps. My team, Bunsen and company, didn't complain about my ineptitude either. Same with Gears yesterday. Matter of fact, after a match I heard HandyDoctorP defending my poor play to his teammates (he was on the other side) due to my newness to the game. Gotta love the 2o2p crew. And welcome back to the "active" gaming community.

LOL! I luckily was on the other team. Keep up that team killing codemonkey. You helped us out tremendously. J/K. Don't worry though, you'll get back in the swing of things soon enough.
