There are five tvs and only one that the xbox can be hooked up to. I played for an hour and a half and just about got to where I could actually maybe do some stuff and damn if it didn't erase it and everyone wants to watch that TV.
Ah well, it does look mighty fun, and I can't wait to get to log some real time on it...going to have to figure out a way to kick everyone out of the house.
And COD UO looks freaking awesome. I'm so upset that it's gonna sit in this box while I watch the TV to see if I can see my house blow away.

Lucky you's (in at least having it), I went to about nine different stores in a three-mile radius on bike and not one of the places had CDUO.
I'm not interested in it, really. Once Battlefront comes out, COD is done for!
Although in one Gamestop I had stolen to a corner of the room with a strategy guide, and they've added quite more weapons (the British still don't get anything new except for their revolver {silenced Sten don't count!}, and maybe a deployable gun). I didn't get much further in the guide than just the guns and some stupid "strategies".
Though... on my seventh store (a Toyz R' Us, I was going to all these stores for the other reason of being employed) I went and got Star Ocean 3, which is damned fun and beats the hell out of Final Fantasy XVMXII-2b.

.United Offensive sucks. Carbon copy.
There's the American "Main Character is ordered to blow everything up by his lonesome" and "un-fun car-driving as a passenger again" and "super frustrating inch towards a rapid-fire german tank across a bridge without cover and eighty Germs on your back".
Then there's the British "Hey I stole this from the Americans, this parachute of mine, now I must blow up another bridge!" then "Didn't I do this on a german boat before?" and then "hey, we can't fit panzerfausts in this little motorcycle, why couldn't we have stolen a truck!?" Oh yeah, they had this thing... in the sky... and it was stupid.
Oh, then the Russians, at least they were consistant! They had "We're all going to leave you behind, obliviously passing by many Germans just for you!" but then "oh, hey a tank, lets blow stuff up, but you can do it all, Yuri." and then back to "Hey Yuri, all us Russians will just hide behind these crates, invulnerable to the dozens of bombers and tank shells while we want you to run out into the open to that flak gun with the many german snipers and gun-mounts out there. We'll help you, really! Not."
The only "new" guns you get are the automatic rifles. The mobile machineguns are absolutely useless; it takes so long to put the thing down on a window, the Germans are already blowing you the hell away. The Silenced Sten looks nice and is a more accurate, but what the hell is the point of a stealth gun when your SAS unit is blowing through the whole damned army (with 'splosions!), yelling commands at the peak of their voice? Also, I was looking forward to the Webley revolver, but it is just as weak and inaccurate as all other three pistols. Even moreso since it only has six bullets!
The original was difficult, but manageable. This, this just puts you in the heaviest sheet imaginable, and you'd have to restart a portion of thirty seconds fifty-million-teen times after you memorize how many Germans come out of where and at what time so you can kill every single one of them without dying because they ONLY come for you and YOU are the only one who has the intelligence to shoot them instead of a wall.

Domination, yay! The only reason I'm 'yaying' is because this gametype will destroy everything Heat of Battle (which I really really hate) has ever done. But I looked through all of the maps, and some of the places these flags are, if a group sets down after taking it, they will NEVER lose it. Unlike SP and probably any other modes, this mode will have need of those mounted machineguns.
CTF, some of the maps look really weird, like mp_Arnhem (delete that player made map, the UO one overrules it). The path is a... 'squished Z', and both groups must navigate these streets, jumping from cover to cover (which is really sparse). Getting the flag out of the 'ends of the Zs' will be quite a friggin' task.
Base Assault, now this looks fun! I only looked at one map for it so far, and you got'sta throw nades, shoot rockets, to fire tank shells at these bunker bases and blow them up. THEN once you blow up the top of the thing, so enemy soldiers can get in there, they have to throw satchel charges at key points in the very bowels of the joint to destroy it. The map I played had three bases per side, the germans had a back yard filled with more than TWENTY tanks. The Americans had just as many, though they were all spread around.

Driving Jeeps is fun. Someone should make a racing mod, that'll get me playing this.

I played Base Assault last night and enjoyed it. My only issue so far with UO (I never play single-player in these games, so ignore that piece) is that because of some of the UI changes they made, I was friendly-firing all over the place. I swore that I could see ranks over the enemy at one point - or someone tk'd me. Then, I had people yelling at me because I was pinning them down and they were on my team.
Jury is kind of out for me, but I do think that alot of what they did is very cool. As I said somewhere else, I think UO rocks, I unfortunately do not rock at it.....

If you're not in a tank and if you don't have a half-dozen rockets in your pockets, you're going to die every ten seconds.
As well, the addition to the net code is really sucky. I'd have a 30 ping, yet I shoot a guy, and he dies two seconds after I shoot him. Gray Matter DID turn it into Enemy Territory!

That's why I never really cared for the Battlefield games, because I've always liked the close-quarters, on-foot kind of environments like in SOF2. Vehicles are cool and everything, but in order for them to be effective, you have to have large maps. Large maps then make it hell on anyone who wants to be sneaky and avoid the vehicles. If you are unsuccessful in your sneakiness, then it's another long walk.
They do try to remedy that by putting vehicles all over the place, but so far, I have only enjoyed when I am operating the MG on the tank.....
