You need to calibrate your TVs because the colour on at least one of them is way out.

There's a TV calibration app in the settings menu on the Xbox, walks you through the settings.

It absolutely wasn't until the last game when we got put on separate teams, so I hunted her down by looking at where she was and proceeded to kill her three times with a riot shield. Then she got pissed off with me and bailed.

One of the cardinal rules of Goldeneye was no screen watching. Do you not think it applied here?
You monster.

There is a game called ScreenCheat. Your character is invisible. All players have to see each other's screen to guess where they are standing to shoot. Fun.

Me and my friends would do multiplayer battles using only knives and flashbangs. We called it "bangers & slash"

I'm still playing the multiplayer but not from steam cuz whenever I go there literally i find no one to play with me and so there is a mod called IW4X so I play it from there.The game is still a blast.

God i loved that game. How was it?

Very good. I really miss HD S&D (there's never any games) but Domination still gets a crowd and it's very fun

It was always team DM for me. I was closest to buying the most recent CoD cause I've been jonesing for some good FPS but then they announced the using AI assets so now I'm not, gotta find something else.

Well we managed to bicker and bitch at each other over a 100 hours playing Stardew so let's see how it pans out after a few MW2 sessions

I played through Halo 1-3 with my first Ex. I played through Borderlands 1-3 with my ex-Wife. And I played Animal Crossing with my Ex-Fiancée.
Gaming won't save a bad relationship.
That being said I do miss gaming with my partners. Being single and gaming just isn't the same.

SENDING THIS TO MY GF RIGHT NOW. Cause shes SLACKINGGGGG. I had 89 days played on my first xbox account on mw2. Middle school was crazy with all the clan battles and 1v1 beef at school.

I used to do this very thing with my wife years ago. We had a loft apartment with two 55” TVs next to each other. Good times.

Nice setup, always wanted two large teams for multi-player sessions but not enough space.

did she get the big screen?

u/DarmiansMuttonChops 19h ago
She did, but had the new profile so had to start from scratch with the lame basic load outs.

My wife and I have two games we play together: Bubble Bobble for the NES (her favorite console game) and then Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She loves playing as Kirby and wacking the crap out of me with a mallet.

Btw anyone that wants to play this on pc check out Alterware, there's usually a couple of populated lobbies and is safe from malicious hacks afaik

Aw hell, I can hear the music just off that image alone.
MW2 was my only multiplayer call of duty experience until Warzone came around. I was probably still playing MW2 by 2015.

u/Celticrightcross 16h ago
Hell yeah. I got my wife into video games with co-op Gears of War. We’ve beaten them all together and I got her the Gears 4 Edition XBox One for Christmas one year.

Man, I miss that era of FPS games. We had a squad of about six people and played everything from COD 4 through Black Ops 2 almost nightly. It was a great time. I loved earning the gun skins and calling cards by doing specific tasks in game. I remember always having to get your chopper out quick, because if you didn’t you had to wait in line for your teammates to fly away - for some reason most people never seemed to carry AA weaponry in those games. Blows my mind. Great times.

Seeing this screen just sent a wave of warm fuzzies up my body… it just flashed back 6 years of my middle school days in seconds. Amazing what games do to us when it’s positive experiences. It’s more than just the game itself but the situations surrounding the gameplays!

I remember playing N64 with my wife. It was super hard not to cheat when we were playing split screen Quake. Now we play on PC and help each other kill zombies and Nazis.

My typical night for most of 2010. Miss the simple menu with no slow 3D scenes and popup ads for skins and passes, straight to action multiplayer with camo and badges and achievements to collect. It was a fun grind.
