> u guys r unlucky though u dont get socom
I don't know alot about it, but i've heard it described as a "poor mans ghost recon" by a few people, and i've also heard that its online is filled with bugs and cheaters.
Is it any good?

Tom Clancy must die.
I despise Rainbow Six games

Of course this has no relevance to your topic so I'll leave now.
Rainbow Six games totally rule, they were the first decent special ops games ever !
Get Xbox RTCW, and them come back and say how the online play is the best thing ever.
Thunder Island will be out this year also which will expand the range of game types, add new single player levels and tons of Live stuff to the game.
Using a controller instead of keyboard/mouse never bothered me and it feels more intuitive, in my opinon, with the controller.
The only thing I don't like is that the map screen on the PC was in real time overlaid on the players screen, i.e. the game did not pause whilst you figured out what to do. On the Xbox the game does pause when you access the map which, for me, breaks the "you're elite special ops, do the mission, get out" feel of the game. It can be like, advace, pause for map, shoot, advance, pause for map e.t.c.
It's a good game though, and a certain GAME shop were doing it 19.99 a week back, and Virgin do it half price with a Live starter kit.
