my box also had the 3 leds of dead some time ago.
i had it send to M$ under warranty and they fixed it, they did not even mention the FW flash.
they did however remove the flash or replace the drive.
you should check which error code you get from it, there is post on www.xboxhacker.net

Of course!...enemies shrugging off dozens of rounds to the face, yourself taking literally hundreds during the course of a battle, and these aren't small bullets either, just look at that ejected brass! I'n modern warfare there's no need for medics or bodily recovery! just go up to your buddy, pat him on the shoulder and be damned to all those broken ribs from all that lead impacting against your chest, the shattered pieces of jaw being thrust up into your skull by a riflebutt stike from a 7ft tall, heavily built "grub".

OK, one question though. If you play NTSC games on a PAL tv which doesn't support 60hz, are the games b&w like with PS2?

right this is starting to really fuck me off now.
My mic keeps not working in MP, works fine in co-op but vs is totally fooked! it will sometimes work inbetween games, some times it wont, sometimes it wont work at all. I can hear what others are saying but apart from that its fucked. Any ideas? oh and Ive tried BOTH my headsets, same deal. The mic is borked in this game, or is it because Im pal and playing ntsc region free?

They explode into tiny meat chunks. Isn't that what really happens when someone is shot in real life? No? That's a pity
Anyway, I've seen plenty of the non exploding dead bad guys that don't dissapear. You can literally kick them around the environment for ages.

yeah the bodies stick around for a while, but of course they have to disappear sooner or later as more enemies show up or the framerate would drop.
I prefer more detailed characters over more dead bodies on the ground. That's one of those things you may think is important during the first few hours of the game, but once you get used to the graphics, how long bodies stay on the ground is just so absolutely irrelevant.

I should have expanded on that point a little bit more, When you move away a small distance from the dead enemy and then come back to the same spot, you are left with a pool of blood.
The body is nowhere to be seen. Its just little things like this that I should not be expecting from an "next-gen" game like this.

I understand that, It's the same with me. However these issues should not even be in this game in the first place, That's whats annoying me.

Well when people are pointing out small things like that, you actually know the game is good. If it was bad, then they would probably point out larger and worse issues.

Yeah, I have said the game is good. AI is also a bit of a problem, I have teammates shooting at a walls just because the enemy is near it, Throwing nades at nothing.
However, I am expecting issues like that since AI is very hard to perfect, However adding small details such as dead bodies on the ground for longer periods of time are not and therefore I should not be expecting these issues in the game.

This game definitely earned a place in my *great coop games* section.
Just so much fun covering each other's backs, flanking enemies,...
And yes the graphics are breathtaking sometimes, haven't seen anything as good as this yet and I have a pretty nice PC with a 7900GTX too.
Unreal Engine 3 FTW I say

yeah console games definitely have that as a big plus.
no whining about bugs, and things like "does it run on my pc? i got 7950gx and dual core pentium pls tell me"
I wonder if there will be a Gears of War 2, a prequel maybe about the earlier days of the war or something. I like it's setting and monster design a lot.
Those berserkers...damn, I was just fighting one with my sister in coop, that was so cool. We lured him away from each other by making sounds and stuff like that, and oh boy it looks so good in coop as well.
You'd think they'd have to remove a lot of eye candy to have it run in split screen but it's still incredible.
